Welcome to Drift Away Shores! To ensure your stay is 5-star quality (and for those after you) we ask that our house and its contents be respected throughout your visit. Accidents happen, and if they do, please notify us immediately. In the unlikely event that you experience any issues during your stay, we will do everything we can to address them accordingly, as soon as possible, but please remember that you are renting a house so there are no on-site maintenance personnel.

To provide a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone there are a few house rules that must be adhered to (by confirming your booking you agree to abide by these rules).

#1 - Check-in is after 4pm.
We cannot accommodate for any early check-in's to allow our cleaners ample time to provide you with a thoroughly cleaned and sanitized cabin.

#2 - Check-out is 10am.
Our cleaners need time to get the cabin cleaned and ready before the next guests arrive. Please be respectful of our cleaners and vacate the property on time. Any late departures will incur a $100/hr charge.

#3 - All renters must be 25+. You may not book for someone else. ID verification required.

#4 - There is a 10 person maximum - 8 adults max! If you arrive to the house with more than the number you accounted for on the reservation, you will be charged $100 for each person over that number.

#5 - Pets are allowed (max 2) with a $300 non-refundable pet fee and with owner discretion. They must leashed when outside of the house, at all times. Be courteous and keep our community clean, please pick up after your pet. NO pets allowed on the furniture or beds. There is a pet blanket in the cabinet above the washer/dryer for your pet to lay on for comfort. Please wash after use for the next guest. There are also food and water bowls in the same cabinet for your use. Pets may not be left unattended in the house at any time. If they are left home alone they must be crated. I appreciate your cooperation with this.

#6 - This is not a party house. Absolutely no parties, events, loud music at any time. The cabin is in a closely populated neighborhood. Please be respectful of others around you and keep noise to a minimum after 10pm.

#7 - Absolutely NO Smoking, Vaping, Drugs of any kind in the house! If you absolutely must smoke, please do so outside the house and use the ash bucket provided (by the grill) to keep the property and environment clean. If evidence of smoking is found in the house, you will be charged $250.

#8 - Absolutely no fireworks or ATV's in the community. It is illegal on the beach too!

#9 - There are 3 cameras on the exterior of the property for your protection. There is one at each door and one on the underpinning of the house. If you touch or tamper with any security devices you will be asked to leave immediately.

#10 - Absolutely no fires of any kind on the premises (including candles). Unauthorized fires will be charged $100 plus any additional damages. Please use the charcoal grill provided for barbequing (must bring your own charcoal). Please do not grill under the house or on the deck at any time. Move the grill to the sandy area only in the back of the house before using and return to the area under the house when finished.

#11 - There will be no refunds/exchanges for illnesses, weather, power outages, natural disasters or any other situation beyond our control. June 1 - November 30 is hurricane season. I recommend purchasing travelers insurance before your trip.

#12 - Please do not rearrange any furniture in any room or deck. There are 2 locked owners closets in the house. Please DO NOT tamper with or try to unlock these closets at any time. If damage or tampering has been found legal action will be taken.

#13 - Trash - There are 3 garbage bins, located under the house, for your use. Please do not throw trash over any deck or balcony as, aside from destroying the property and blowing into other yards, will attract bugs and animals. Please use the trash cans in the house and when full put the bag in the bins under the house. Please DO NOT put the trash bags on top or outside of the bins.
Trash pick-up is Wednesdays and Saturdays from March - Labor Day and Mondays and Thursdays from September - February. Because trash pickups are only twice weekly, you may arrive with trash bags in the bins outside. You need not worry about the trash pick-up on your vacation, however, as I have a service that will take care of bringing the bins out to the road the night before and returning them under the house after pickup.

Amazing beach Thanksgiving
The house was perfect, clean and a very short walk to the beach. There is a wagon and chairs available which made it easy to take to the beach. The house was very relaxing, yet had plenty of room and activities to do downstairs. Communication was super easy and always quick. We loved that Christmas decorations were up when we got there. It added an extra element to our stay. This house was perfect for all ages as we had 50's,30's, 20's and 12 and under in our group. It is just a short drive to Ft. Morgan historical site which we all enjoyed very much. We highly recommend and would definitely stay here again!

Family Get Together
We had three sets of our family meet at this house and it was perfect. It’s ideal for blended family stays. It was great to have access to both the beach and the pool. We had one AC issue but Robyn took care of it so quickly that it wasn’t a major problem at all. We would recommend this property to anyone. We will definitely be back!
