Wonderful host! Comfortable room with many amenities. The location was spectacular. Views for miles and a 2-minute walk away was the most amazing little park with rock beaches, tidal pools, a visiting seal, and more incredible views! We would definitely return!
Hello, thank you for your comment of "Best Ever!" We are so glad you were so happy with the driftwood suite/
we are confused then by your low score of 2 stars. Perhaps it was an error?
Wishing you the very best!
Well stocked, clean beautiful studio with even more beautiful grounds. Views from the deck was to die for! Paige and Brad was super friendly and welcoming.

What a great place to stay!! Very friendly owners and we had everything we needed in the room. With a 2 minute walk you are in the park, sit on the bench and enjoy the million dollar view over the water
This bachelor suite is overtop the gorgeous houses garage. Gated entrance to the property and beautiful landscaping. The front of the house is right on the ocean. Very quiet area with an ocean front park just down the street. We loved it!

Thank you for your kind review! You were lovely guests we would love to host again!
Beautiful property right on the ocean. Suite is above the host's garage. Very private. Access to back deck overlooking ocean. Lots of amenities: microwave, toaster oven, hot plates, coffee maker, kettle, fridge/freezer. Host welcomed us and had snacks and waters ready in the room plus a gift of homemade jam. The bed was the best!!! I cannot say we have stayed anywhere with so comfortable a bed. We would recommend this property and would stay here again.
This was a wonderful place that was so well put together! Everything we needed in a well thought out layout. The property surrounding is gorgeous and such a peaceful area. Treats, yogurt and fruit was left for us to enjoy but we had so much of our own food with us we didn’t partake. A handy coffee & tea station was available too! The bed was exceptionally comfortable too. All in all we would highly recommend Driftwood Cottage!

thank you so much, we are so happy to hear you were pleased with your stay! we enjoyed having you very much!
Host has really gone above and beyond to have a nice, welcoming and well-equipped space to stay. We were comfortable and wish we could have spent more time than just a quick overnight. Would book again. Great communication as well. Is really only a 5 minutes from the highway in a quiet neighborhood, don’t let the map deter you!
This property is located in a very nice and quiet neighborhood. The room is clean and has everything what you need for a short vacation. The fridge had a few drinks and yogurts. We also found some fruits and snacks. The kitchen was stuffed very well. I would recommend to include salt and pepper.

Female ravelling alone, safety was a priority and I certainly felt safe! The suite is very clean and has all the amenties one needs and more. Enjoyed having coffee pods and the cookies from the generous goodie basket. Nola is very welcoming and approachable. Definitely would ask to book the suite again. Thank you.
