About this property

Steps to Sandy Beach and Open Ocean Views

Walk through the front door of Drift Inn Cottage and you are immediately greeted by open ocean views and the sand of Drift Inn Beach. The entrance to the beach is just 150 feet away from the front porch. At low tide, you can walk the length of the beach and explore the tide pools and enjoy sitting in your beach chair reading a great book. At high tide, launch a kayak or go for a swim.

The cottage has a master bedroom with a custom made King bed and LL Bean bedding. The master bathroom has a recently renovated tile shower and a few steps up to a cupola with a futon and a built-in extra long twin bed that looks out over the ocean and is a perfect napping spot.

The downstairs bedroom has two twins with LL Bean bedding and a full sized washer and dryer. Downstairs bathroom has a tub and shower.

The rental also includes a 14x20 rustic bunkhouse next to the main house. The bunkhouse has a Queen bed and great ocean views with four adirondack chairs in front.

The house is surrounded by beautiful gardens with a variety of flowers and trees. There are special spots throughout the property where you can tuck in and read a book while looking up at open ocean.

It is a 15 minute walk into Port Clyde's restaurants, galleries (less than a mile) an ice cream shop, general store and ferry for nature cruises. It’s just a 20 minute walk to Marshall Point Lighthouse, made famous in the movie Forrest Gump.

Rockland, with a wide variety of restaurants and shopping is a 20 minute drive.

About the host

Hosted by Marnie Dean

Host profile image
My husband and I live in Southern Maine with our two daughters. We love living in Maine and while our work
keeps us closer to Portland our hearts are in Port Clyde.

Why they chose this property

Tom grew up vacationing on the St. George peninsula.
I first found Port Clyde as a TV reporter covering fishing stories. When my career took me to other parts of the country I always knew I would end up back in Maine and I even said on air that 'there was a little piece of property in Port Clyde with my name on it!' We found that special place in Drift Inn Cottage. We've been renters for years and feel very lucky to now be owners of this lovely house.

What makes this property unique

There is something so decadent about being able to
take your morning cup of coffee and walk just a few steps to a sandy beach to watch the sunrise over the ocean.
So many times over the years people on the beach would watch us walk back to the house and say how lucky we were to be staying in that house. We certainly feel lucky.
