Totally Relaxed at Drakes Island

We were thrilled to find this property that would accept our mini schnauzer and our adult daughter's Maltese so we could have a get away reconnecting and being together at Drakes Island where we used to vacation when she was small.

Vieille maison, bien située près de la plage

. L’annonce en français de VRBO ne disait pas d’apporter les draps, nous n’en avions pas apportés et nous étions 10 personnes. Le propriétaire nous a gentiment dépanné et nous a fourni ses propres draps.
