Great property, well stock and well maintained. Nice beach with easy access. Perfect for our group. One bedroom doesn’t have a closet, rather a large dresser for clothes. Would highly recommend this property.

Enjoyed our stay

We enjoyed our stay at Drift Away. Perfect location. Not too close to the hustle and bustle near the pier, but still close to restaurants and stores. The property was as described in the listing and more beautiful in person. We would definitely stay here again!

Nice Stay

Our family really enjoyed our stay during July 4th. There were seven of us. The only advise I would give is to put a queen bed in one of the bedrooms instead of a double and twin bed. As with our family, we had four adults and a double bed is really too small for two adults. Otherwise, the property was wonderful.

Excellent - You won’t be disappointed!

The condo was beautifully decorated, fully equipped and very clean. Beds are comfortable. The view is superb! Just as the pictures show. Walk out the door and you are on the beach. Good location, not a crowded beach. Great communication from both Charlotte and the housekeeper!!!I will definitely stay here again.

Fantastic Location!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Walked right out onto the beach every morning - very comfortable for my wife and I, 2 of our adult children and a family friend. Charlotte was more than welcoming and attentive to every detail during our stay. Would highly recommend Drift Away!

The Perfect Beach Home!

My family and I traveled here in September of 2018! This beach home is the perfect place with just steps to the beach! We had an amazing vacation and thank you for everything!

Right to the water

Beach right out the back door. Perfect set up in the unit. It is also far from the hustle and bustle of the city. The units are very close together and there were some rude young men two decks down using bad language but it didn’t last long. Very good stay!!

Perfect Fall Break

Charlotte was wonderful to work with and we will definitely try to book one of her properties for future vacations. The location and house was perfect for our stay. We do not like a crowded beach and on some days we felt like we had the beach all to ourselves. The house had everything we needed. We had clear water and beautiful weather all week. Can’t wait to come back!

Wonderful

A Mother/Daughter beach trip in a beautiful town home with the most FABULOUS view. Just a few steps and you are on the beach. Dinner each night on the deck to watch the sunset. The owner made sure our visit was perfect, beautifully decorated, comfortable beds, well equipped kitchen, 5star bath towels. I did not want to leave and will for surely rent again. Thank you Charlotte.
