Steps to Sandy Beach and Open Ocean Views

Our second stay at Drift Inn Cottage and as perfect as the first!!This is a rare and exceptional property; clearly loved by the owners and so well maintained. The cottage grounds are lush with visual interest everywhere you look. And right out back, the amazing setting and views of Drift Inn Beach. We love the enchanting atmosphere and decor in the main house as well as the bunkhouse. Plenty of blankets/throws for cool days. A downstairs a/c unit, and portable fans for unusually hot days. The kitchen has upscale appliances with all the cooking gadgets you need. The beds are super comfortable with beautiful linens. Plenty of games and activities for family fun both within and outside the cottage. From the comfort of the back porch we watched the lobstermen working out on the water in the early mornings, or sailboats passing by later. It was also our favorite spot to sit in the evenings with a beverage, listening to the calming sounds of the surf. Fun to wander around on the beach or chatting with the small number of beachgoers that come there at low tide. This property both soothes the soul and rejuvenates the body and mind!! Hope to return for a third visit in future!

Everything was amazing. The house, the location, the kindness of the hosts. We came in with lots of questions and they helped us with everything. But everything you need is at the house. We can’t wait to go back!

Wonderful property. Great location. We had a very enjoyable stay.

We had an amazing time time at the Drift Inn Cottage! The location is amazing and the property is outstanding. The owners are lovely and have really thought about everything. Based on the description we even packed less, opting to not bring beach chairs, toys or towels. They had everything we needed and more! This was our second year staying in the area and we love it. It’s well worth a longer drive to escape the crowds of southern coastal Maine in the summer. Rockland and Camden are close by if you want to venture into a bigger town and there is a large Walmart very close with curbside pickup . The area has everything we are looking for, beach, gorgeous scenery, local shops and access to larger retailers if you need something.

We loved the location just steps from the water. The house and gardens were immaculate and everything was provided. The owners were very gracious and provided many extras for enjoying our stay.

We loved our stay at Drift Inn Cottage! The location was fantastic - right across from the beach - and the house had everything we could want: the kitchen had what we needed to cook (and more); there were bikes, kayaks, and games; and everything was clean and comfortable. We loved sitting on the back porch with our coffee in the mornings, walking across the street to the beach, or walking or taking a bike to explore the area. Our teenagers also liked the separation of being able to sleep in the separate bunkhouse. Our host, Marnie, was incredibly responsive if we had questions. It was a perfect vacation getaway.

Perfect week at Drift Inn Cottage! Our only regret is that the days passed much too quickly- and that there were not enough of them. The thoughtful and delightful décor, very comfortable furnishings, attractive architecture, the beautiful gardens, the private location yet with easy access to a lovely beach, and the spectacular views – this property was more than a dream come true for our first stay in Maine. From our travels in Scandinavia, this property recalled a blend of Nordic and nautical elements that we greatly admire. The hosts are remarkably generous with the many amenities they’ve entrusted to temporary travelers. Previous reviews have summarized Drift Inn Cottage accurately and better than I can! Fantastic views right from the beautiful back porch, beverage in hand, watching the sparkling, ever-changing waters, blue or moody skies, even a double rainbow our last evening. Lobster boats in the distance. Lobster buoys bobbing colorfully and brilliant in the late afternoon sun. Hypnotic sounds of the waves on shore, backyard and shore birds doing their thing, a wonderful breeze rustling through the trees. It’s all here! Incredibly relaxing and restorative. Exactly what we needed! Loved spending time on the rocks and the clean sands of Drift Inn Beach, exploring picturesque Port Clyde Harbor, postcard-perfect Marshall Point lighthouse, enjoying Port Clyde Bakery’s strawberry-rhubarb pie, lunch at wonderful McLoon’s Lobster Shack, and maritime exploration with the Puffin and Nature Cruise out of Port Clyde. So many more activities to experience and places to see that we just didn’t have time for. I hope we can return in the future to pick up where we left off!! To our hosts, The Deans, -Thanks for the magic!! With great memories and deep gratitude, Athena, Tracy, Ingrid and Paula

We could not have asked for a better place to stay during our first trip to Maine. We loved the easy access to the beach, the cozy bunkhouse, and the amazing views. The hosts' area recommendations were spot on, and we really appreciated having access to beach chairs, kayaks, beach towels, etc.-- makes packing so much easier. All in all, in a great place in a great location. We can't wait to go back!

Sitting on a comfortable porch with a fresh brewed cup of coffee overlooking the changing tides at Drift Inn Beach with Mosquito Island, the Brothers, Hay Ledge & Gunning Rocks, doesn't get much better unless you swap the coffee for wine. The Drift Inn Cottage was warm, comfortable with a whimsical landscape surrounding the cottage. We walked across the street with our kayak and headed out into along the coast. Beautiful with harbor seals playing around our kayak. A truly memorable stay.

A charming, whistle clean, comfortable cottage with a superb view and gorgeous gardens! We loved every minute of our stay there and appreciated all the little and large details the owners have thoughtfully and generously provided for their guests. The walk to the lighthouse was perfect, and the picturesque village of Port Clyde, with all its connections to the Wyeths, was hard to beat. We've already made our reservation for next year!
