Lovely location. Lots of room to hang out. Two kitchens. Bunk room is actually full sized bottom and top with another twin trundle under it. Could fit 5 kids in that one room. Quiet away from the bars and amusement park. Two block walk to the awesome Sandy beach.

Jonathan was a fantastic host. This was our 2nd time staying here with our 6 children of all ages. Check in was incredibly easy - house was clean and well stocked with all the "things" needed. Plenty of parking- easy access to beach and carnival. Jonathan was super easy to communicate with and responded quickly to all of my questions! He provided great advice and recommendations for day trips which we took full advantage of and wasnso happy we did. Core memories were made thanks to a thoughtful local host! Looking forward to visiting next year!

Fantastic Stay

Me and a group of friends who have never spent much time in New England/Maine stayed for a week, and it was a phenomenal time! Waking up and walking to the beach every morning was a major highlight, but the hospitality and attentiveness of the property owner, Jonathan, was also a highlight. Super helpful and was a great resource for the local area. And the property was clean, quaint, and solid location for a vacation. Highly recommend!

We had a wonderful stay. Close to beach and walking distance to town. Only con is no coffee pot. They had a French press which was great. But we are a coffee family. We would stay here again.

Short but sweet

Found this partial week rental and jumped on it. Driftwood had plenty of room for the 4 adults, 3 kids and a dog. The proximity to the beach was great for my daughter and family. The set up of the house allowed my husband and myself first floor total access while my daughter’s family was on the second floor.We didn’t do too much cooking so I really don’t know about the pot and pan situation, but discovered if one kitchen didn’t have something, the other did (toaster).If there was a down side, it would be the fact that it’s a corner lot and 3 young boys who like to be on the move.We’re talking about a return visit for next year all ready!

Great Location!

Without much notice we booked a weekend at Dritfwood. It's exactly as described in the listing. The beach is just down the street. The pier is walking distance away which is great when giving the teens freedom to choose what they want to do. The home was spacious for 6 teens and 2 adults with room to spare. I had to reach out to Johnathan with 2 small questions and he was super responsive. I wish the cleaners would have unloaded the dishwasher from the previous renters. We didn't end up using the dishwasher because we didn't use that many utensils or dishes. Oh! Remember to jot down the code to get the key before you get to the house, the cell service was poor so I had to drive back down the road to access the message from Johnathan! But once there we logged into wifi and all was right in the world again!

I stayed with a very large group. It was tight but we didn’t spend a tremendous amount of time at the house so we managed just fine. The house was fairly clean except for a few things here and there. The location was great, walking distance from the beach and beach town! I would stay here again for sure, we had a great time!

Great location so close to the beach!

The Driftwood is beautifully decorated with beach themed decor. 2 kitchens stocked with just about anything you need to prepare a meal, plus a large grill. We were very comfortable in the 3 bedrooms. House was very clean and cozy. John is an amazing host and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. Can't wait to come back to OOB and the Driftwood. Everything is within walking distance from the house but far enough away from the craziness of the Pier and you dont have to worry about parking.

The best location

We got in extremely late and finding it was very easy. There were 9 adults which made this perfect for us. The patio was awesome to sit out and enjoy the coffee. The 5 minute walk to a beautiful beach was awesome. The host was wonderful to work with and great about keeping us informed about the check in and that everything was good to go after Hurricane Lee had just gone by the weekend before.

Great place!

Overall this was a fantastic vacation. We went as 3 families and had 4 kids under 5 with us. Closeness to the beach was key. If you come here with small children, I would bring lots of baby gates, the room divider kind so the spiral staircase can be blocked off effectively. We got creative with furniture outside to cereate a safe spot on the patio. Everything was clean and there were lots of good sleeping options for all.

Family getaway

We had a wide array of ages. From 1 years old to over 70. Beach is within walking distance, pier is also able to be walked to easily! Lovely outdoor area for sitting outside. The dog loved it as well! Plenty of sleeping areas! 2 bathrooms! 2 kitchens! Couldn’t have been a better location! Air conditioning in entire house. Would return!
