Location and peaceful can’t be beat
We had a great stay. The location to the beach and the quiet area are not to be missed. The little house had everything we needed. Pros: Location. Perfect place to be if you want to avoid the town traffic. Golf carts aren’t allowed this far out, so there was really only foot traffic and the occasional car. Even though there are houses abode and behind you, it still feels private. The house has all the necessary cooking things…everything you can think of. It has a cup and regular coffee pot. They left soaps and shampoo/conditioner, plus a hair dryer. The front porch was lovely and we spent a lot of time sitting out there. There was a grill but we didn’t use it because of the weather. Cons: The house was clean enough, but it did smell of mildew/mold/wetness. The living room furniture smelled like dog urine and it could use a good stream cleaning. We did our best to spray Lysol and cover it with sheets before we sat on it, lit a couple candles which along with opening the windows did help. Side note: I have a very sensitive nose, and not everyone in my party could smell it. Maybe this is just the way it is in most houses on the island, but since we’ve not stayed at this beach before we were a little surprised by that. Normally we would just stay outside so it wouldn’t matter, but it rained everyday but our check in and checkout days. Sigh. The house needs some updating for sure, but it is all you really need at the beach! Will be back!

Great Location
Great views and location. House is defiantly pet friendly. We didn’t bring a pet but there was dog hair in bathroom corners, not a big deal for us. We’ll appointed beach cottage for a great week! Would stay again.

Great house, great location
We have stayed at Driftwood for 3 years and absolutely love it. Location is in the east end of the island and fairly isolated. Just perfect.
