Everything about this condo and Bernadette the owner was amazing! We had the best vacation. Super clean, perfect distance from the beach, pool close by. It’s was perfect for our family get away. Bernadette was just a text away whenever I had questions and she went above and beyond any host I’ve ever had. We will be coming back to stay!

Thank you for the 5-star review. It was our pleasure being your host for your getaway.
Loved my stay at this cozy quiet condo. It was just as pictured and the location was perfect, right across the street from the beach. The pool and shower at private entrance to beach were a nice bonus! And the bed was very comfy. I had some confusion with the key code upon check-in and Bernadette was very responsive and helpful. I would definitely stay here again!

Thank you Jennifer for the great review. Happy you loved our location, comfy bed and the great amenities our community offers. We would love to be your host again.
We have booked this condo over the years. This is the third owner we have rented to. Bernadette was so pleasant and helpful with everything. We loved the updates that had been made to the condo. The new outdoor seating and just simply rearranging the bedroom made a huge difference! The owners are very thoughtful and kind and we just had a wonderful relaxing vacation! Thank you again!!

Thank you choosing Drift Away and Thank you for the wonderful review. Guests like yourself are a pleasure to host. Thank you for taking care of our home as yours on your vacation. We are happy you had an amazing relaxing vacation. Love to be your host for your future vacations or getaway.
This was a very nice stay. The rental was clean and comfortable. It was very easy to communicate with the owners when I had questions regarding anything. There is no fan in the upstairs bathroom and when you shower you are instructed to open the window. I appreciate that the instructions to do so are there. I’m sure that helps with air circulation. Due to the humidity of the summer months, I feel the rental could benefit from a dehumidifier. Overall we were very pleased with our stay!

Thank you for great review, we loved being your host and look forward to being your host again in the future. Thank for the input on an exhaust fan for bathroom, it is on our to do list for an update. Thank you the suggestion on a dehumidifier, will take that under consideration. We found if you lower the HVAC system by 1 to 2 degrees helps with inside humidity. We are happy you chose Drift Away for your vacation.
It was very clean and everything I needed for the stay.

About the host
Hosted by Bernadette
Bloom where you are planted is our motto. Transplanted to the Palmetto State from the Big Apple. The coast is where we love to retreat and reset, Ocean Isle Beach completes us. We can not be here all the time so we decided to share our retreat home with others. We really hope you will enjoy your stay at the beach. Ride the wave!!
Why they chose this property
Ocean Isle Beach is a family friendly community with many community events. The beach is amazing. The distance to the beach from our condo is perfect, look both ways.
What makes this property unique
The view of the ocean is my favorite, listening to the waves in the evening from the deck is surreal. We are the end unit, so we have unobstructed view of the ocean and tons of natural light in our unit.
