We absolutely loved staying at the Driftwood Inn. We loved the cottage and the amenities. Everything is brand new and immaculate. The beds are very comfortable, and the pull out bed is even comfortable. That never happens! The beach is a short walk and so many restaurants near by. We will definitely be staying again. My only suggestion is for people that are not familiar with No-serums, they can be bad. Possibly provide a small bug spray for them in the nice goody bag you left for us. if they are not familiar, encourage them to use it, and they can buy more as needed! Thank you for a great stay!

The cottage was clean and updated with everything you need, toiletries, kitchen pans and utensils, a full beach cart with everything needed for the beach. I took a few naps in the sun in the hammock. The location is great, an easy block to the beach. The only thing we had difficulty with was the gas grill did not heat up sufficiently to cook burgers. It was an incredible relaxing place for a family vacation, highly recommend it

The property is walking distance from the beach. We stayed for 3 days, 3 guests, 2 adults and 1 child. Cottage 4 was very clean and provided many extras such as the free onsite bicycles and beach gear. The rooms were equipped with comfy queen size beds. There is a sleeper suite sofa in the living area we did not use but is a great if traveling with a family of 6. We had a wonderful time! The Badger family is very attentive. We highly recommend this property.
