The location of the property in proximity to the beach is amazing! The house had plenty of room for my children and grandchildren. The owner is very prompt in responding and is very welcoming.

Great Stay on Drakes Island
We enjoyed our stay! The house was clean, comfy, well stocked and easily accessible to the beach. The backyard was great for grilling and ample space for the kids to play. I would definitely stay there again!

Totally Relaxed at Drakes Island
We were thrilled to find this property that would accept our mini schnauzer and our adult daughter's Maltese so we could have a get away reconnecting and being together at Drakes Island where we used to vacation when she was small.

Vieille maison, bien située près de la plage
. L’annonce en français de VRBO ne disait pas d’apporter les draps, nous n’en avions pas apportés et nous étions 10 personnes. Le propriétaire nous a gentiment dépanné et nous a fourni ses propres draps.
