The well-equipped kitchen  with its charming dining area  is ready for you to whip up a fresh lobster dinner or a leisurely breakfast.

After a day of exploring the nearby sandy Drift Inn Beach—just 1.3 miles away—gather in the cozy living room around the wood burning fireplace or on the covered porch to watch the sun dip below the horizon  painting the sky in vibrant hues. Venture upstairs to find another queen bedroom and two additional twin bedrooms  ideal for children or extra guests. This layout encourages togetherness while still providing private retreats for restful nights.

However, the true beauty of this escape lies in the chance to disconnect from the bustle of everyday life. Cell service may be spotty  but a landline phone is available  allowing you to truly immerse yourself in the serenity of your surroundings.

As the sun sets,  the covered porch transforms into a magical spot where you can sip a glass of wine  listen to the sounds of the harbor  and create memories that will last a lifetime.
