Drake's Island Resort & Cottages

What guests think

Guests describe Drake's Island Resort & Cottages as a clean, pet-friendly base with friendly staff, convenient beach-and-dining access, and a pleasant pool and clubhouse, though some mention small bathrooms, spotty in-room Wi-Fi, and occasional AC or odor issues.

Several guests appreciated early check-in texts, helpful problem-solving, and occasional upgrades. Pet amenities like a fenced dog area are popular, but some cited limited relief space or upkeep, and a few found beds too soft or prices a bit high. A practical pick for low-fuss coastal stays.

Great to bring a dog but some owners left dog poop in the dog run. It may help if the grass was cut short otherwise a great spot and so dog friendly. Thanks!

Very nice clean space. Bathroom very very small. No room to put things on the sink and shower was tiny. A little expensive for the space. But the people are very nice and they have a club house room with Pool table and a pool. We did not use because we were only there one night.

Friendly place for pets, although limited areas for pets to relieve themselves. If other pets then need to share and sometimes may be an issue depending on your pet or others. Convenience to surrounding areas like beaches and restaurants

The only things I did not love was the bed and the ac. The bed was not to my liking comfort wise. But that’s a preference I suppose. And the ac in our room either barely worked or turned the room into a freezer. Otherwise everything about this place was excellent. The staff was friendly and helpful. The pool was clean and well kept and the game room is a nice addition. Would definitely stay here again

Just stayed 1 night with our dog. We were limited by our dog as to which room we could pick. The dog fee is very reasonable, stayed at other places in the area and they over charge for the pet fee. It did the trick for what we needed. Room was very clean, bed was comfortable. Small refrigerator and microwave. It’s an easy drive to anywhere in the area. I do recommend.

Nice clean room only complaint was shower very small and no weights on shower curtain so water got on bathroom floor. Sink was cute looking but not deep enough to put your hands under faucet to wash hands. Maybe some kind of shelves to but toiletries on.

In Reality Drakes Resort is for who is on holiday I was there for work so I would say if I was on holiday perfect but for who is working, Internet in the room didn't work, Air con very noisy but all is forgiven because the people running the resort are amazing and will try to resolve anything you need. Price quality maybe a little high.
