Really immaculate. When not overcast, the view of the sunset over the Pacific was unforgettable - from the picture window in the warmth of the (gas log) wood stove.
Sunset happening.

Absolutely stunning views of the coastline. We spent hours enjoying the beach and our dogs had a blast too. There is a huge backyard fully fenced to keep our pups safe.

Wonderful stay here. The view and the trail down to the beach are so awesome. The house has everything we needed. We stayed in for meals and just enjoyed the place. Even used the crockpot. Place could use some freshening up. Typical wear and tear. There are ticks, especially if you walk the trail.

The views are amazing!! As the host said, it is a bit of a challenge to get to the beach you can see!! It is called Driftwood for a reason!! So if you are going to spend the day at the beach, with sand toys, chairs, picnic basket etc, from the bungalow, I recommend packing up the car and driving to another beach!! It was a fun place to stay and we had a great time!! The host does allow a dog, but there is absolutely no smell or hair anywhere!!

Beautiful location on the coast. Space is outdated and there is rental related signage throughout the home which kills the vibe a little. Woodfire stove wasn’t working in the main room, but no major issues with our stay.

Everything was great. One issue..the outside lights on the deck did not work and a couple lights in the living room. Just a heads up for the next guests. We had an awesome time. It was our second time here and we will definitely come back in the future. Thank you!

Views so beautiful you don't even need to leave!

We had a wonderful long weekend stay here. The views are absolutely stunning and we know for our next visit to build in some days just to lounge around and appreciate the beach access.

Beautiful views of the ocean. Lots of things to do near by.Walk to the beach is steep and not for the weary. Very relaxing and much needed rest after chemo.

We always enjoy our stay at Driftwood. This time we planned on a getaway weekend where we just stayed at the house all day because it was just so relaxing. My favorite part is the back room where you can sit and see the view. We'll be back!
