Very private with a great waterfront. Felt secluded even though you’re less than 10 mins from town. Fantastic place if you’re looking for a quiet getaway to unwind. Kitchen was well stocked with all the cooking gear you need. Only thing missing was a hot tub, but a wonderful stay for sure!

This is by far one of our favorite places we have stayed as a family! The location is hard to beat. It is stunning. The house was so clean and had everything we needed. Our kids loved the beach toys and we all enjoyed watching bald eagles, seals and dolphins from the beach. The host was wonderful with great communication, was very accommodating and welcoming. We were sad when when had to leave and hope to come back again and stay longer!

Birthday Runaway

Our stay at Driftwood was everything we wanted and needed. Mary Ann made our entire experience, from booking to check out, seamless and enjoyable. The house has everything you need and it feels like quality the moment you come onto the property. My Besty even LOVED the thoughtful touch of bowls by the beds for jewelry and such!We hope & pray we're able to return soon!

Awesome spot on the beach.

Peaceful, scenic, all we needed. The hosts are awesome - available if you need them, otherwise they leave you to enjoy. The house is well equipped and comfortable, off the main roads a bit, but that is part of the charm.

Fantastic vacation rental

This was the best VRBO we’ve ever stayed at. The place had everything you needed and great amenities (even rubber boots for walking on the beach) and a fully equipped kitchen. The view is amazing, what a peaceful place to relax. We will definitely stay here again.
