About this cottage rental

Walk through the front door of Drift Inn Cottage and you are immediately greeted by open ocean views and the sand of Drift Inn Beach. The entrance to the beach is just 150 feet away from the front porch. At low tide, you can walk the length of the beach and explore the tide pools and enjoy sitting in your beach chair reading a great book. At high tide, launch a kayak or go for a swim.

The cottage has a master bedroom with a custom made King bed and LL Bean bedding. The master bathroom has a recently renovated tile shower and a few steps up to a cupola with a futon and a built-in extra long twin bed that looks out over the ocean and is a perfect napping spot.

The downstairs bedroom has two twins with LL Bean bedding and a full sized washer and dryer. Downstairs bathroom has a tub and shower.

The rental also includes a 14x20 rustic bunkhouse next to the main house. The bunkhouse has a Queen bed and great ocean views with four adirondack chairs in front.

The house is surrounded by beautiful gardens with a variety of flowers and trees. There are special spots throughout the property where you can tuck in and read a book while looking up at open ocean.

It is a 15 minute walk into Port Clyde's restaurants, galleries (less than a mile) an ice cream shop, general store and ferry for nature cruises. It’s just a 20 minute walk to Marshall Point Lighthouse, made famous in the movie Forrest Gump.

Rockland, with a wide variety of restaurants and shopping is a 20 minute drive.

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!

We had a wonderful time at the cottage and are already looking forward to next year. Marnie is a great hostess and the the house, and bunkhouse!, were very comfortable, perfectly clean and well stocked. Beach across the street is the frosting on the cake.

We stayed at Drift Inn cottage for a week in July and loved every minute of it! It was perfect for our family of four (me, my husband and two young daughters) and two grandparents. The girls (ages 4 & 7) loved sleeping on the futon in the cupola in the master suite! The house is beautiful, clean and comfortable. The lush flowers, plants and natural art that surround the house adds much beauty and character to the home. The large deck overlooking the beach is so pretty, relaxing and peaceful. To be able to walk across a small back road and be on a beautiful beach was exceptional. The house is private, very well equipped (had everything we needed!) and the owners were very pleasant and accommodating. We spent a lot of time at the beach, played games and had campfires on the lawn, walked to Marshall Point, took short car rides to local harbors, restaurants, lighthouses & museums, took a puffin cruise right out of Port Clyde, etc. We also enjoyed the cottage’s game room with basketball and ping pong and all the board games, music and books the house provided. The love and attention to detail the owners have put into the cottage plus its perfect location make it a very special place. We highly recommend Drift Inn cottage and look forward to our next stay!

This is a beautiful home right on the ocean. You can tell the owners love the place because there is such an incredible attention to detail inside and out. Lots of room to relax, the beach really is just steps away, and a great yard for playing cornhole. Of course, we picked the one week of the summer when the weather was so so, but Drift Inn Cottage was wonderful and we made the most of it. Can't wait to return when the sun is shining.

We spent a week at Drift Inn Cottage in late August and found it to have everything we needed for a relaxing time at the ocean. My daughter, son-in-law, and two granddaughters shared the space (granddaughters chose the bunk house), and we were all impressed with the thoughtful additions that made our stay so simple. It was a real convenience to have basics (some sugar, flour, oil, vinegar, spices, etc.) available at the cottage. All of us enjoy board games, and we brought a few with us. Such a pleasant surprise to find so many others there. The little girls had never played Pictionary and wanted to give it a try. My husband started cutting up bits of paper, brown paper bags, etc. to draw on, only to discover pads of paper clearly marked for Pictionary. The owners seemed to have thought of everything! Beds were comfortable, the kitchen was well equipped, the hot water worked, and we enjoyed the television, sound system, availability of a computer and Wifi. Having rented a fair number of vacation homes in this country and abroad, I have to say that Drift Inn Cottage was the best equipped we've encountered. I loved the stunning gardens; looking out at the moonshine over the water and ducks swimming in formation was a real treat. While we didn't have any rain during our week on the Maine coast, some days were cool, and we used them to visit Monhegan Island, the Farnsworth Museum, climb Mt. Battie, and eat a few lobster rolls along the way. A great week in every way!
