We have stayed on Drakes island before but this was an absolutely perfect location and house. The walk is 2-3 mins, house was spotless and well appointed with everything we needed, including beach chairs. The highlights were the bonus hang out room and fire pit, which we used almost every night. The only complaint we had about the house was that the beds were very firm and not to our liking. However, all the other positive aspects definitely outweighed this! We had an amazing stay!

We actually had rented this house last fall but had to cancel for an event at our alma mater. We rescheduled for this June and actually added three nights. We were very happy with the house!! Extremely clean and decorated so nicely!! We loved the room in the back of the house for our morning tea and coffee and in the evening for wine! The kitchen was well stocked. We had a fire in the fire pit and roasted s’mores!! Location was great! Would definitely stay here again and will recommend to others traveling to Wells.
