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!

My family and I had an excellent time. The property was perfect for us. Everything was extremely clean upon arrival. Charlotte and/or Sheryle were always quick to respond to questions. We purchased a mattress topper for our bed because we prefer a softer mattress. Everything else was perfect. We will definitely consider returning here when we book another trip to PCB.

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.

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!

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!!
