Absolutely awesome experience! Have probably done 10 rentals in sea pines over the years And this was by far the best. The communication prior and during the stay was amazing. House was lacking nothing! So clean and had absolutely everything you needed down to a digital meat thermometer. Location to the Beach was 5 min walk. Same for Salty Dog. And that upper porch was our favorite spot for the week. Highly highly recommend. Could not have been better

Homespun feeling in great location

We loved this place for a break from the cold weather in Maine with our dogs. Two minute walk to the great beaches, 4 minute walk to Salty Dog, 15 minute drive to "town". Everything one would need for cooking and dining was provided for, we had a friends over for a salmon cookout on the gas grill on the deck. The fenced in backyard was a big plus for out mutts. Our hosts were most helpful and accommodating of our request to extend our stay when the weather got worse up north. We will be back!

Absolutely loved our stay at Driftwood! The house had beautiful updates and the screened in porch was our evening hangout every night! The house was perfectly located between 2 beach access points and you had a view of the ocean from the front window. All in all, we had a fantastic stay and can’t wait to book again!

Wonderful Beachside Retreat

This was a perfect place for our family vacation to Hilton Head. Plenty of room for everyone to be together yet have their own space. Only a five minute walk to the beach. Very clean and well appointed place. It was also very easy to check in, check out and know how things were going to work during our stay. We would definitely use Beachside again at this or other properties.

Perfect in every way

We've visited Hilton Head (specifically Sea Pines) for many many years and this was one of our best overall experiences. Driftwood is a perfect beach house based on the proximity to the beach and to the South Beach area as well as the casual, family friendly appointing. We loved it and would definitely book again.

Wonderful property

We've used Driftwood twice now for family vacations, and it has been perfect every time! Clean, well laid out, spacious and just a short walk from the beach. An expansive deck gives you even more room and a place to just relax. Linda and Jay are very responsive and make you comfortable leading up to your arrival to know what to expect. I'd recommend using this property or just renting from them in general.

Amazing family friendly stay

This property easily accomodated our family including 2 and 4 yr olds and a dog. We found the space very comfortable, clean, and well maintained. Loved the downstairs area with games/puzzles/TV and the large deck. The check in was easy and we only had one question and that was answered quickly. There is plenty of parking and outside storage for bikes/beach gear. The beach is a very short/easy walk and the outdoor shower was great for rinsing off sand upon return. We would definitely stay here again.

Great family vacation home

The home was well maintained and ideal for our family. Meals on the screened porch were a family favorite. The walk to the beach was a little longer than expected for a second row home. There is not a direct path meaning you have to go out to the main road, over and then use a public beach access. Not too far and an easy walk, just a little more than anticipated.

Great location

We enjoy being close to the beach and to salty dog. Easy beach access and short stroll to salty dog. I liked the updates made to kitchen and bathrooms. Beds were comfy. AC worked well. We did not use the downstairs level but loved the large deck upstairs and the fenced yard for our dog. The property manager checked in several times via text which was nice. I also really liked that they take any unopened food to a food bank if left behind.

Loved it!

This was perfect for our group of 5 friends. Beach access was an easy short walk. Everyone had their own bedroom and bathroom. The fenced yard was perfect for our 4-legged friend. There were plenty of deck options for sun and shade. And we loved being on the end of the island with calmer water since it's more intercoastal. The rental agent was super quick to replace the coffee maker when we could not locate the carafe. We would go again!
