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!

From the moment we walked in it felt like home. Everything said “welcome” and we were relaxed from the beginning. Not only was everything we could ever need provided, it was all of very good quality too. Marni reached out to make sure everything was fine, which it was, and offered any help we needed. Even the weather was working with us. So many cozy places to sit and read, chat with old friends or just enjoy some quiet moments with a cup of freshly ground coffe watching the tide come in. This would be the house I would recommend for first time visitors to Port Clyde or to people that have been coming for years. We would have loved to stay longer and hopefully will be able to next time. Just perfect!
