My husband and I enjoyed a week with our son, daughter-in-law and baby grandsons. The property location was ideal--an easy walk straight to the water and beautiful views from the front windows. It was also away from all the condos but not so far that a drive into the shops, restaurants, Publix, etc. was an ordeal.The house was perfectly clean and had plenty of bath linens. There were nice packs of shampoo, soap, sunscreen, etc. provided. The water temperature and pressure were perfect. We liked the new Whirpool kitchen appliances. The cool artwork throughout added a nice touch. The front porch was great in the fall temperatures too. The one thing I will mention is the mattress and bed frame in our room. The frame was noisy with any movement (ahem!) and the mattress seemed a little cheap and smaller than a typical queen. This is not a deal-breaker but just not the quality we usually have with rentals and people with medical/physical issues may want to bring a mattress topper if you need a plusher feel. I do have a medical issue which is why I feel it should be mentioned--I still had a GREAT trip. Communication with our host was seamless and any questions I had were answered quickly. We are definitely keeping Drift Inn 2 on our list for a return next year!

Great beachfront home

We had a wonderful stay. The house was the perfect size for our family. It had a well stocked kitchen and the location was excellent. Literally a one minute walk to the beach. Would recommend to anyone looking for a beachfront rental.
