This was our first time staying at Drakes, we always stayed at a motel every Memorial Day weekend up the road but it was closed for renovations and has switched owners. Drakes will now become our Memorial Day weekend home away from home. Chelsea is wonderful. She actually sent us a text a few hours before check in to let us know our room was ready if we wanted to check in early!!!!!! She asked us many times during our stay how we were doing. Drakes Island Resort is very clean, up to date, well maintained and walking distance to a beautiful beach that has a very nice sunset! There is also a General Dollar store directly across the street that sells just about everything, including beer and wine, perfect if you end up forgetting something or need a snack. The beds and pillows are very comfortable, no back aches for me this weekend-LOL- just as an FYI though, there appears to be a rubber or plastic sheet under the fitted sheet which makes sleeping very hot, we had the ac down to 68 and still was hot throughout the night, the shower stall is also quite tiny but water pressure is great, because this place was so great as a whole, I am still giving it 5 starts despite the under sheet sheet and the shower stall.
Thank you Chelsea for a wonderful stay, WE WILL BE BACK
