Faulty Tower
Drakes Island Vacation Rental
Drakes Island, located in the Town of Wells in southern Maine, is a special place. Off the beaten path, there is no commercial development on Drakes Island. Many of the homes on the island are offered as vacation rentals and demand is high. It is no surprise that the closer the rental is to the beach, the greater the demand. Faulty Tower is less than 100 yards from the beach which many consider the most beautiful beach in southern Maine.

This is a NO SMOKING rental.
The front cottage rental kitchen is crisp, clean and terrifically well equipped. From wine glasses to the lobster pot, you will find everything you need including a dishwasher so you can spend more time at the beach.
You may be wondering about the name: Why “Faulty Tower”? Most of the cottages on Drakes Island have a name. We designed the house ourselves and envisioned an attic tower that would serve as an observation area so that we would be able look over the ocean, especially during Nor'easters, hurricanes and the like. Once the building was up, we still hadn't thought of a name that just seemed right. Neighbors jokingly referred to the building as looking like a hotel. Having been great fans of the British PBS comedy, "Fawlty Tower," it just hit us one day that a great name for the cottage would be "Faulty Tower." Passersby seem to enjoy the name on the cottage.
The front cottage rental living room is equipped with a gas fireplace. It also boasts
cable TV and a combination VCR/DVD player. There is a comfortable sleeper couch
available just in case you have guests. Just outside is a pretty little covered
porch, the perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee, or a glass of wine before
dinner-
