Spring Break-Away 2024

We recently stayed at Drift Away for for Spring Break and the property was perfect. Once we checked in, the hosts provided us with a complimentary bottle of wine in this very well kept home. Everything was clean, orderly, and very true to the description and pictures. We've stayed at other homes in the area but this was by far one of the best. Laura, our host, was very accessible and responsive to any questions we had and was gracious enough to allow us a little extra time to check out on our leave date. Very kind. The home is very well decorated and stocked with just about everything you need. We brought extra bags, paper product, cleaning supplies but we did not need them because Drift Away had more than enough. The neighborhood was family friendly and we absolutely loved the fenced in yard that is very well maintained. We are not pet people but the secure outdoor space allowed us to enjoy the outdoor games with family and provided enough room for our annual obstacle course race...(kids won again this year but got our payback with shuffle board and Wii games). Drift Away felt like home and we plan on going back. Thanks Laura for your hospitality and kindness.

Beach Getaway

We had the best time at this beach house. It was the perfect getaway with our kiddos. The Carrs have thought of everything with their amenities even down to beach toys. We arrived to find a lovely bottle of wine in the master which was such a special surprise. There are plenty of family activities at the house to spend time together while taking a break from the beach. We loved the corn hole and shuffle board games in particular. We would definitely stay again!

Amazing Stay at Drift Away!

This is one of those little gems you’d like to keep all to yourself so it’s always available when you want to stay there but it just wouldn’t be fair to not to share how incredible this home is. Beautifully decorated and immaculately clean. Kitchen is well stocked with everything you could possibly need. Plenty of towels in the bathrooms and lots of beach towels as well.

2022 Family beach vacation

This beach house was clean, well maintained, neatly designed and beautifully decorated. Located on a quite cul de sac and a short distance from the beach. The house had quality appliances, excellent working ac and very comfortable beds in all rooms. It was the perfect place to host our family's vacation. It was easy to see this house was built to enjoy with the love of family fun in mind. The house had plenty of indoor and outdoor games for all ages to enjoy in between our beach visits, we really enjoyed playing the indoor shuffleboard. After our beach visits it was nice to enjoy some time in the shade downstairs at the perfectly decorated tiki bar and rinse off the sand in the outdoor shower. There was more than plenty to do at the beach house between our beach visits. A large part of the total fun we had was just enjoying the house and all its amenities when not at the beach. The only negative was we didn't get to stay long enough, time fly's when you're having fun! Thanks for helping us create these fun lasting memories for our family!

Beautiful, clean, well equipped beach home

This beach house was the perfect home for our ladies weekend. The home is beautiful, extremely clean and well equipped and the location is perfect (located on a very quiet cul-de-sac and only a very easy 5 minute walk to the beach but far enough away to escape if the beach gets crowded). Communication with the owners was awesome - they were extremely responsive and helpful. This would also be a great beach house for families - the bunk room that sleeps 6 is awesome!! I wouldn't hesitate to book this wonderful home again.
