We have always maintained a clean, sanitized and allergy-free rental. For your safety, we continue to use CDC recommended products to kill bacteria and viruses. Sheets and towels are cleaned with Lysol sanitizer & 7th Generation laundry soap. These eliminate bacteria and viruses while using largely bio-based ingredients. All counters in the kitchen & bathroom, the toilet, bathtub & any surface you touch such as the kitchen faucet, bathroom flush, bathroom faucet, shower & tub are thoroughly sanitized with 80% alcohol products. The floors are sanitized (steam heat) & all of the cloth furniture is sprayed with bacteria & virus killers made for soft surfaces.

WHAT TO DO and WHERE TO EAT: Joe is a Captain and runs a business called Rocky Coast Cruises. Check out his websitewww.rockycoastcruises.com to see photos and tours that he offers. Casco Bay is a beautiful area with a rich history, breathtaking scenery and abundant nature. If you stay at "Drifting In" you can choose to go on a complimentary cruise for 1 1/2 to 2 hours. If you'd like a longer cruise, it's $125/hour for the boat with a maximum of 6 people. You may bring your own food and drink because charter insurance will not allow us to provide food. On another note, Harpswell is a perfect place for safe distancing. There are many choices for beaches; Cedar Beach, Stovers Beach, Potts Point Preserve, Mitchell Field Beach, Lands End Beach, as well as numerous trails with many along the ocean with incredible views. Information on these are left for you to peruse on your vacation. Additionally, you can enjoy fresh seafood meals from Erica's or Holbrook's Lobster Wharf at Cundy's Harbor (both are BYOB and outdoors). The Dolphin Restaurant has take out so you can bring the food back to enjoy Al fresco meal on your large deck at "Drifting In" or eat at the many outdoor tables provided. Many of the restaurants in Brunswick (Enoteca on Maine Street is our favorite) and Freeport also have take out & eat-in or eat outside options. Our favorite in Freeport is the Tuscan Brick oven Bistro. Harpswell has a new restaurant by our only light in town, the Schoolhouse 1913\. It is completely renovated and beautifully finished. H2O Outfitters rents kayaks and gives tours via kayak. You can call them at 207-833-5257 to prearrange your choice of trip or rental. Seeing Harpswell from the water is a once-in-a-lifetime experience!

Additional Reviews: 5 STAR REVIEWS: We initially listed our property with VACASA in the Summer of 2018 and these are the reviews. Robin B. August 2018 5/5 Stars The Drifting Inn was even cuter in reality than it looks in the pictures! It was also a cozy and easy place to stay for 10 days, with a full (and fully-equipped) kitchen, large private bedroom, and great loft with a second bed, desk, and cozy chairs. We loved the location, just a 7 minute walk from the beach, an easy walk, bike, or drive to a variety of lobster shacks, trail heads, and just 20 minutes from the friends we were visiting in Brunswick and Bath. Joe and Lynn were amazing hosts and gave us fun local tips that really enhanced our trip. We'd happily stay here again. Submitted Jun 21, 2018 Beautiful 5/5 Stayed Jun 2018 Susanne D. Absolutely beautiful and Joe and Lynn were very responsive. There was everything you need and more. They had cheese and crackers, a bottle of wine, fruit, coffee, creamer, and two coasters for souvenirs. It was our first stop on our road trip of Maine and was our favorite place we stayed. Will definitely be going back to stay. Thank you again for your hospitality. Julianna A. Submitted Jun 20, 2018 Sweet spot in Harpswell 5/5 Stars We loved the long weekend at Driftingin. Nice place to be able to explore several islands and preserves. Spent one day at Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens touring the gardens and walking on trails. Thanks Joe and Lynn June 2018 "Your home is quite lovely, and you have thought about everything for your guests to be comfortable!" ## Property amenities ### Beach - On the beach - Beach loungers - Beach towels ### Ski -

We were amazed by all the property had to offer and it looked even more beautiful in person! Plus, the bed was unbelievably comfortable. The hosts were easy to communicate with and it was clear that they valued our experience. The hosts left us personalized goodies and took us on a complimentary boat tour. We have never had such a good rental experience. Thank you! ##### KayLee J. Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### jon k. Jul 29, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Treated like royalty. The hosts, Lynn and Capt. Joe, treated us like we were special. However, I bet they make ALL their guest feel that way. The house was spotlessly clean. We were greeted with beer, wine and cheese upon arrival, and the fridge had everything we might want for breakfast the next day. Capt Joe and Lynn took us out for a boat tour of the area, and since it was my wife's birthday, they bought her a dozen roses. We felt we had left good friends behind when we left for home. Awesome stay. ##### jon k. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### ROXANNE P. Sep 25, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Private, cozy, perfect escape! Our hosts, Joe and Lynn, were extremely helpful in filling us in on places of interest in Maine that we were not aware of (Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens and the Maine Maritime Museum for a start!). Communication was excellent prior, during, and afterwards, plus all the privacy you could ask for. There is wi-fi at your fingertips and wonderful welcome treats of wine, cheese, local maple syrup, IPA beer, and essentials of eggs, milk, and butter . There are all the beach essentials you might need to spend a day on the beach as well. They did not forget anything! Did I mention it was really clean and the bed was amazingly comfortable? Don’t miss this chance to relax and explore Maine in this wonderful place. We would recommend this to everyone and would return without a question. Thank you Joe and Lynn!! ##### ROXANNE P. Stayed 6 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jeff V., Green Bay, WI Sep 11, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful Stay with Fantastic Hosts My wife and I celebrated our anniversary with a 1 week stay at Lynn and Joe's rental. Every bit of it was perfect. The location was quiet, peaceful and relaxing. Yet, within about 30 minutes of a number of places (Bath, Bailey Island, Brunswick, Freeport) to visit for sights, history, or trails and beach. Of course, the lobster and fresh fish were excellent. But, Lynn and Joe's hospitality and kind touches to welcome their visitors is beyond any rentals we have ever stayed in. The cruise that Joe provided was so nice - informative, beautiful and relaxing. The welcome gifts of food is really nice when coming in from a distance without time to get to the store before checking in. So many good places to eat, close by, or short drives. Even though you stay above the garage, there is no noise. A good number of stairs to be aware that you need to use to enter, but that should be no surprise, as you know you are staying on the top level of the building. The week was one that we will always remember with nothing but great thoughts about Joe and Lynn's rental, and that area of Maine. Thanks so much, Joe and Lynn! ##### Jeff V.

Aug 17, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Delighted with Drifting In We were delighted with Drifting In as soon as we walked through the door. Everything is clean, comfortable, exceptionally well maintained, and uniquely decorated. We were immediately impressed by the attention to detail and decorative skill that went into each room. There is complete privacy at Drifting In. It is a single rental facility, located above a detached garage. Lynn and Joe live in their house next door. They are a delightful couple and attentive hosts. A special highlight included in our stay was Joe’s one-and-a-half-hour boat tour around the neighboring islands. If you really want to appreciate the Maine coast, you need to see it by boat and not just on the land. The location is excellent. It is near the end of Rte. 123\. When you go out of the driveway and turn right you will have an ocean side bench seat within three hundred feet with a view across the bay toward the Cribstone Bridge (only one of its kind in the world). When you go left, you can walk the road for a half mile and be at Stover’s Point Reserve beach overlooking the harbor. There are many other preserves with walking trails. We liked this Rte. 123 side of Harpswell since it is more rural than the Rte. 24 peninsula across the bay, also part of Harpswell, which is more heavily developed. Brunswick is only a twenty-five-minute drive on Rte123 for groceries, visiting Bowdoin College, museums, restaurants, AMTRACK, and the Maine State Music Theatre. John & Debbie ##### John B.

EVERYTHING you could want or need is provided-and high quality, too. Joe & Lynn’s Driftin’ Inn sets the bar high for all other VRBO properties.

The apartment was extremely clean, very comfortable and in a great location. There were so many nice touches from the breakfast food in the fridge and the wine, cheese and crackers on the counter to the towels, bathrobes and slippers. The boat ride with Lynn and Joe was another highlight! Best VRBO experience we’ve had - highly recommend this property!! ##### Katherine D.

Lynn and Joe have an absolutely beautiful guest house in an absolutely beautiful corner of the world. They went out of their way to make us feel comfortable, answer questions about local events and history, and the guest house lacked nothing. As an amateur gardener, I was also impressed with the wonderful plantings around the property, and the amazing meadow that they created. We (all three of us) would love to come back again. ##### Rachel M. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dan R.

A second floor apartment with a loft bedroom up in the treetops that was just so. Every amenity you can think of, it was beyond well stocked and appointed. We even were invited aboard the owner’s boat for a cruise around Harpswell. Our hosts, Lynn and Joe, and this lovely Drifting In were beyond expectations. Thank you! ##### Caoilin B.

We had a marvelous time staying at Drifting In and will definitely be back!! Gorgeous apartment, inside and out, with every detail just perfect. Nice deck with places to sit and BBQ. Spacious rooms, skylights, lots of light and places to nestle. We were greeted with Maine goodies in the kitchen, which was nicely equipped for those who like to cook. Comfy bed. Amazing hosts we really enjoyed spending some time with. We went out on the boat with Joe--a very fun morning! We took the short walk to the shore--pristine, welcoming, quite private. Had best lobster ever. A quiet setting with water views. What more could we ask for?!! ##### Robin and Andy F.
