Great stay in Drakes Island
The house was great. We loved being so close to the Drakes Island beach (possibly our favorite beach in southern Maine). We have stayed in many houses on the Maine coast and this was one of the best for our family.

Great stay at Drake Island
We took the kids for a few days to Wells to end the school year. There was plenty of room for the kids to spread out. Close walk to the beach. We had a very nice stay
