Beach and Nature at Adrift at Ventnor.

Adrift had all our requirements for our stay plus added bonus of local rabbit visiting the back yard and possums at night. Our little Jackie Gracie loved it and the daily runs on the "off the leash" beach.

Rustic but very neat and extremely well-equipped. Fabulous yard for our dogs and very close to off-lead dog beach. Area was quiet and peaceful. The owner was very responsive to questions. All together, I would highly recommend this place.

A great place to unwind

A very pleasant stay in an original beach house with added mod cons like a dishwasher and aircon. We enjoyed the lovely tranquil setting for the humans and the fur babies to unwind and relax. Just how a beach holiday should be without too much fuss or hard work - having linen supplied made things so easy! Really enjoyed strolls along the dog beach and partaking in yummy local fare at a couple of nice eateries a short drive away.

Good location

Location was fine and good I could take my dogs. House needs a thorough clean and yard needs a lot of attention- couldn’t let dogs roam because too many places for snakes this time of year.

Adrift - not quite what we expected

We knew the house was rustic and quirky, but the photos were misleading. Unfortunately the house wasn’t well maintained and not very clean - grubby kitchen floor, curtains coming off the tracks, stained carpets, cobwebs every and the kitchen floor was really grubby. Worst if all was the very rusted BBQ which would have caused poisoning had wr used it. It is a severe health hazard. The electric grill was not clean enough to use either. Don’t falsely advertise the outdoor BBQ as an option when it clearly is not. Im thankful our friends couldn’t join us for a Saturday BBQ as the advertised outdoor dining is definitely not up to scratch and a disappointment. On a positive note however, the beds were freshly made up in clean linens and the towels were fluffy and white. Despite the bathroom being circa 1960’s, the water was hot and plentiful , the toilet was clean and flushed and there was no shortage of toilet rolls! Our dogs had a great time - they loved the yard, running around searching for the possums was such a thrill and great excitement. Such a pity the accommodations didn’t live up to expectations or the the photos on the Stayz site. With bit of TLC and some much needed upgrades, it could be a fabulous property as it’s in a lovely position.

Just what we were looking for - Adrift

Had a fabulous few nights at Adrift in Ventnor. just what my husband and I were looking for. A welcoming house that held you like a hug, surrounded by a beautiful garden, fully secured so our puppy could safely explore. She doesn't have a garden at home so was in doggy heaven. The dog beach, close by, was also fabulous. All in all, we had a wonderful time and will certainly go back.
