This home was beautiful & it was perfect for our family! The rooms were spacious & each one had its own restroom, which was a huge plus! The only thing I did not like is that for the price it should have been a little more clean & should have more supplies for the days we stayed. So keep in mind if you stay here, bring extra toilet paper, napkins, trash bags for the kitchen & restrooms. Other than that we had a great stay.
I have actually been excited to get home and write this review. I wish I could give this place 10 stars! It was immaculately clean and extremely well decorated. The kitchen was by far the most well stocked kitchen I have had at a vacation rental. It has a beautiful Kitchen Aid mixer, a crockpot, sharp knives and every cooking utensil you can think of. The golf cart is awesome. A little souped up with a great stereo system you can connect your phone to. The distance to the beach is a bit of a walk on a hot day… but that’s what the golf cart is for! The pool is just across the street. The cabinet is stocked with tons of games. Our group was already planning our next stay here before we even left. I can’t recommend Drift Away enough!
