We had 3 families with a total of 7 kids in this house and it was still enough room that we had one empty room. Enough bathrooms per family, great screened porch, close to playground. Everything was super clean and great!

Reviewer Comments:
Drift Away was great for friends and family celebrating a 60th birthday! The house was spacious, well-appointed and clean. We had 11 people most of the time and there was plenty of room for everyone. The fire pit was fun and the golf cart made everything so easy. A few things:Some of the utensils (especially knives) need to be replaced. We kept setting off the smoke alarm by using the stove, so not sure what's going on there. We had some minor issues on Friday and the property manager came on Saturday to address.

Reviewer Comments:
We love the Beachwalk property and all of the amenities! We had a really fun stay! However, the house itself was just okay. Many of the bedrooms did not have a dresser or a closet - several of us lived out of suitcases for the week. The kitchen is really narrow and also doesn't have any additional space for pantry items like a box of cereal. The furniture is not very comfortable, and some of it was broken. The basement is awesome, though! It has a great bunk room and family room!

This is our 3rd time staying at Beachwalk and we've picked a different home each time. This was by far the most beautiful, well-designed, and immaculate home that we've seen there. It was very new, clean, and well-maintained. It was perfect for our family trip!
