We loved our stay at Driftwood Cottage. It was clean and well-maintained - just as the photos and listing described. There were plenty of amenities and the host was very communicative and accommodating. The location was perfect and we loved how close we were to everything. We parked our car when we got there and were able to walk to many restaurants, shops and the beach. Would definitely stay here again.

An exceptional host makes all the difference, and Jessica is truly one of the best. After a mix-up involving an incorrect review on my guest profile, I ran into major complications trying to book. Instead of simply turning me away like many others might have, Jessica worked closely with me with absolute grace and patience. She took the time to listen, communicated with genuine understanding, and went completely above and beyond to make sure my reservation went through seamlessly. Beyond her outstanding empathy, integrity, and dedication during the booking mix-up, the property itself was fantastic. Everything in the house is exactly as pictured, beautifully kept, cozy, and stocked with every single amenity she advertised. On top of that, the location is unbeatable—within easy walking distance to just about everywhere we wanted to go. My family had a wonderful stay, and it is rare to find a host who truly cares this much about her guests. We would book with her again without hesitation. Thank you, Jessica, for your generosity and for being such a stellar host! Highly recommended!
