We were able to open the balcony sliders and catch the cool ocean breeze. It was clean and a nice place to stay! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in May 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Aug 12, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Driftwood The property was clean but had some issues. The a/c filter was dirty. The bathroom sink was slow-draining. The view from the back deck was not good. If you sat in the chairs, you couldn't see the ocean (only the railings). The parking spot we were assigned wasn't covered and difficult to find. Wouldn't stay here again. For those prices I expected better. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 6 nights in Aug 2023 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Havelock Home: Private Yard, 2 Mi to Cherry Point!](https://www.expedia.ca/Havelock-Hotels-Havelock-Home-Private-Yard.h98553562.Hotel-Information) > > [Ramada by Wyndham Statesville](https://www.expedia.ca/Hickory-Hotels-Ramada-By-Wyndham-Statesville.h28056.Hotel-Information) > > [2-bedroom condo in lovely Winston-Salem's Country Club](https://www.expedia.ca/Winston-Salem-Hotels-2-Bedroom-Condo-In-Lovely-Winston-Salem-With-AC.h108293501.Hotel-Information) > > [UNC Chapel Hill Cozy apartment](https://www.expedia.ca/Raleigh-Hotels-UNC-Chapel-Hill-Cozy-Apartment.h100855612.Hotel-Information) > > [Charming Handmade Retreat — 15 mins to Chapel Hill](https://www.expedia.ca/Chapel-Hill-Hotels-Charming-Handmade-Retreat-15-Mins-To-Chapel-Hill.h89253531.Hotel-Information) > > [Gardos Motel](https://www.expedia.ca/Forest-City-Hotels-Gardos-Motel.h14917356.Hotel-Information) > > [Motel 6 Greenville, NC – ECU-Medical Center](https://www.expedia.ca/Greenville-Hotels-Uptown-Greenville-Hotel.h21285.Hotel-Information) > > [Chestnut Cottage | 3 Bed, 2 Bath](https://www.expedia.ca/Pisgah-Forest-Hotels-Chestnut-Cottage-3-Bed.h95525031.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Plus Yadkin Valley Inn & Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Jonesville-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-Yadkin-Valley-Inn-Suites.h19908.Hotel-Information) > > [Walkable Greenville Home Near Dtwn](https://www.expedia.ca/Greenville-Hotels-Walkable-Greenville-Home-Near-Dtwn.h108060000.Hotel-Information) > > [Pet-Friendly,Cedar Cabin, Spa Tub, WiFi,Fireplace](https://www.expedia.ca/Ferguson-Hotels-Pet-Friendly.h54025602.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Place Asheville Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Arden-Hotels-Hyatt-Place-Asheville-Airport.h74897611.Hotel-Information) > > [Microtel Inn & Suites by Wyndham Burlington](https://www.expedia.ca/Burlington-Hotels-Microtel-Inn-Suites-By-Wyndham-Burlington.h328809.Hotel-Information) > > [The Beacon](https://www.expedia.ca/Morehead-City-Hotels-Salter-Path-Inn.h10655047.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Resort Lumina on Wrightsville Beach by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Wilmington-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Resort-Wrightsville-Beach.h15394.Hotel-Information) > > [Affordable Suites Burlington](https://www.expedia.ca/Greensboro-Hotels-Affordable-Suites-Burlington.h2763294.Hotel-Information) > > [Hunter House Bed and Breakfast](https://www.expedia.ca/Reidsville-Hotels-Hunter-House-Bed-And-Breakfast.h16104080.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Asheville Airport/Fletcher](https://www.expedia.ca/Asheville-Hotels-Fairfield-Inn-Suites-By-Marriott-Asheville-AirportFletcher.h14873599.Hotel-Information) > > [The Tipsy Pelican- The Best Place To Relax!
