About This Home
As of June 2023Enjoy Summer 2023 on Drakes Island beach! Adorable, well-loved 3 bed, 2 bath beach cottage is less than 1 mile from arguably the best beach in Southern Maine. Shhhh.. although word is getting out, Drakes Island is still a relatively unknown beach community where inventory is scarce and homes are passed down for generations. Don't miss a rare opportunity to own a charming, turn-key home that has been meticulously cared for by the same family for 50+ years. Lovely, private spot on dead end street, with seasonal views of the marsh and harbor. Move-in ready with everything from furniture to dishes to beach chairs, the owners have offered to include most everything so you don't miss a day at the beach! This cute cottage also has tremendous rental/investment potential due to its incredibly desirable spot, surrounded by many fine restaurants, shops, galleries and recreation nearby with Kennebunkport just north and Ogunquit just south. Walk the trails at Laudholm Farm or paddleboard and kayak along the ocean, marsh and Webhannet River. This cottage by the sea is ready to enjoy summer with its new owners! Open Houses Thu/Fri, May 18 & 19, 4:30-6pm and Sat/Sun, May 20 & 21, 11:30-1pm. Offers due by Monday, May 22nd at 3pm. Don't miss this one!
