Inside, the home offers remarkable space for gathering. With 5 bedrooms plus a loft, it comfortably sleeps 14, making it ideal for hosting family, friends, and unforgettable seaside escapes. The layout is designed for comfort and privacy:
- A first-floor en suite bedroom provides easy accessibility and a private haven for guests.
- Upstairs, the primary en suite offers elevated ocean views and a serene, spa-like retreat.
With 5 full bathrooms, everyone has room to unwind without ever feeling crowded.
Nearly every room captures sweeping ocean views, giving the home that relaxed, always-on-vacation feel. A large deck with privacy fencing faces the generous off-street parking area -- perfect for grilling, outdoor dining, or enjoying the afternoon sun.
On the ocean side, an expansive screened-in porch invites you to settle in with the sound of the waves, complete with roll-down screens that let the sea breeze drift through. Just beyond, a brand-new patio sits steps from the sand, offering a front-row seat to sunrise, surf, and star-filled nights.
This home has a proven history of weather resilience, no storm damage, and transferable flood insurance, underscoring its exceptional preparedness and care.
If you've been searching for a true beachfront oasis -- where casual luxury meets the laid-back rhythm of the Maine coast -- this Drakes Island retreat is ready to welcome you home.
