Perfect Beach House
The location is perfect. The beach is very private and enjoyable. We love the sound of waves crashing and birds calling. Lots to do nearby if you want, but we preferred the serenity.

Better than expected. This was a very peaceful cottage on the sound. I was surprised how loud the waves were. Wonderful place to celebrate, contemplate, laugh, cry, walk, collect rocks, Seaglass, bird watch have a glass of wine maybe a shot of tequila. Very beautiful will definitely return also communication with fantastic and the neighbors were exceedingly friendly long live Driftwood !

Property is beautiful and the location is unbeatable. Extremely relaxing and pleasant experience. The only problem was check in, as I did not get anything from VRBO ahead of time with check in information. Fortunately I was able to finally get in touch with the owner.

Serene beach getaway
This by far is the best rental property we have ever stayed at. The house is located in a charming, quiet neighborhood just steps from the beach. If you love listening to the sound of the waves, walking on the beach, and collecting shells/rocks, this is the perfect place to recharge. The house itself is thoughtfully laid out and decorated. Many conveniences such as a fully stocked kitchen, laundry, linens, towels, and beach supplies are included. My favorite part of each day was enjoying my morning coffee on the covered porch looking out at the ocean.
