The Driftwood. Oceanfront Retreat by Sunset Cliffs

Hi, I’m Joe! I manage The Driftwood through The Carmine Collection on behalf of the homeowners, Jonathan and Rachel. They are currently working overseas, but they’ve entrusted me to ensure the home remains a welcoming and comfortable retreat for guests.

Jonathan and Rachel originally lived next door to The Driftwood with their sweet baby boy, Elijah. They’re a warm and adventurous family who love the outdoors, meeting new people, and creating spaces where others can relax and make memories.

Jonathan served in the Navy as a bomb technician for eight years before settling in San Diego. Together, he and Rachel poured a lot of love into making The Driftwood a cozy and inviting retreat, reflecting the laid-back charm of the coast.

While they’re away, I’m here to make sure your stay is seamless and enjoyable. Whether you need local recommendations or assistance during your visit, I’m happy to help. We want you to feel right at home and experience the best of what this beautiful area has to offer.

We look forward to hosting you at The Driftwood and hope you have a wonderful stay!

The Driftwood is just a short walk from the beach, where you can catch stunning sunsets and hear the soothing sound of the waves—it’s one of the best parts of staying here.

One of the most special things about this area is the sense of community. Neighbors greet each other with smiles, local shops and cafés are full of charm, and there’s always something to explore—whether it’s the farmers’ market, a surf spot, or one of the scenic coastal trails.

Jonathan and Rachel fell in love with this neighborhood for its laid-back energy and coastal charm, and while they’re currently working overseas, I’m here to ensure guests experience the same warmth and hospitality they envisioned when creating this space.
