Sep 18, 2024 #### The Perfect Place to unwind The Location and View are the star attraction for Driftwood cottage. Just a short and safe walk to beach access. Turn left at the bottom of the stairs to wide open beach perfect for a breathtaking walk along the ocean. Or turn right to a family friendly beach. The cottage has everything you need. It may not be top of the range, however enough for a great escape from the hustle of a busy world. We have stayed here three times and hope to visit again. ##### Megan Angela H.

Oct 19, 2023 #### Great place with a great view! The location of this home is what makes it such a fantastic place. Perched on a bluff above seaside Beach gives you amazing views of the oceans. You could hear the waves crashing from inside the home. The neighborhood is great with a nice 84 step stairwell that takes you to the Sandy Beach without having to get in a car. It's a climb but no trouble for two 60 plus year olds ...... ##### Bob F. ### 8/10 Good #### John A.

That makes the trip more fun for us. Thank you! ##### Gwenda S. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bruce M.

The house was clean and well equipped with everything you could possibly need. The bed was quite comfortable. We tried the hot tub, but, the jets were not working, but the water was definitely hot enough. We called the host and they were pleasant and sent out a spa repair person who fixed it. We very much enjoyed the views and the 84 steps to the ocean was very pleasant. ##### Bruce M.
