Beachside Haven w/ Firepit, BBQ & Pool Access | Driftwood Dreams by AvantStay
Welcome to Driftwood Dreams by AvantStay!
This three-story coastal retreat sits just minutes from the sugar-white sands of Inlet Beach, where turquoise waters and a relaxed atmosphere make every day feel like vacation. Surrounded by the charm of Florida’s Scenic 30A, you’ll be within easy reach of Rosemary Beach, Alys Beach, and Seacrest—offering boutique shopping, waterfront dining, and bike paths that wind along the shoreline.
Inside, bright design and open spaces set the tone for connection and comfort. The main living room on the first floor features comfortable seating and a smart TV, flowing into the dining area and full kitchen, complete with a smart fridge and all the essentials for cooking and entertaining. A dedicated kid-friendly reading nook tucked into the first floor invites little ones to settle in with a book while adults gather nearby. A separate first-floor sitting room includes a cozy pull-out sofa for additional sleeping space.
Four bedrooms comfortably sleep up to ten guests: a serene king suite with ensuite bath, two queen rooms, and a twin room perfect for kids or friends. Families will love the thoughtfully designed nursery on the third floor, complete with a pack ’n play and changing table. With three and a half bathrooms, everyone will have space to refresh, including walk-in showers and a shower/tub combo.
Outdoor living is where Driftwood Dreams shines. Sip morning coffee on the covered porch, fire up the BBQ grill or pizza oven for alfresco dinners, or lounge in the sun with a good book. Evenings are best spent around the firepit with chairs for the whole group, while the outdoor shower makes rinsing off after the beach effortless. A washer and dryer add extra convenience for longer stays. Guests also have access to a heated community pool, perfect for relaxing swims in every season—whether you’re cooling off after a day at the beach or enjoying a refreshing start to your morning.

This house had so much potential to be great, but sadly, it was lacking. First, the microwave sparked every time we used it. The A/C system are mini splits, and oddly, the bottom floor was the hottest and never cooled down. There was ONE unit to cool the entire second floor living area which was veryyy hard to do and impossible to do while cooking. The third floor was the coolest and had three units total (one for each bedroom and one for the hall/stairwell. The unit in the queen guest room on the third floor started leaking and maintenance came out quickly to look at it as well as the microwave, but the A/C continued leaking the next day so bad that it came through to the balcony on the second floor and it also got an outlet wet causing all of the outlets to go out in that room. We reported this and maintenance never came back out, leaving us unable to use that unit which then meant we could not use that room because it was too hot. This was very inconvenient as we were utilizing all rooms with six adults and two kids. We also had issues with the showers and the house itself has not been kept up very well. There are just several small things that obviously show the house was not built well and/or kept up well. The management team was very quick with responses and maintenance was quick to come out the first time, but just never returned to fix anything. To sum it all up, I wish I could leave a better review, but I just can’t. The house was clean but it needs attention/work

Thank you for taking the time to detail your stay, and we're glad the home was clean and that our team was quick to respond. We take anything involving safety in the home seriously, and the issues you've described, including the microwave and the water reaching the electrical outlets, have been escalated to the team responsible for the home for prompt inspection. We're sorry the follow-up didn't continue the way it should have, and that this disrupted your stay with your group. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention.
This house is beautiful. It was exactly as advertised. We did have an issue with the air conditioning on the first floor. The owner of the property came out to correct it immediately and was back the next day to check on it. The pool is also very nice. This house is walking distance from a beautiful beach.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback! We're so glad the home was exactly as advertised—beautiful, with a lovely pool and that unbeatable walkable access to the beach. It's wonderful to know that when the air conditioning acted up, our team was able to address it right away and follow up the very next day to make sure all was well. We would love to welcome you back anytime.
