Hi Mollie, thanks for the wonderful review of Drift Inn 2!
Short walk to ocean. Very clean and kitchen equipment just right for preparing meals. Loved how private beach was. We had 6 adults 3 children ages 7,6 and 1.5. Excellent place for family to enjoy time and beach together.
My family and I had a wonderful long weekend staying at the Drift Inn 2! Being right on the beach was wonderful and the house was perfect for family of 4! Will definitely be back!

Hi Dean, thanks for the wonderful review of Drift Inn 2!
Honestly, our second time staying and we still love it! Staying in summer I realize blackout curtains would help :) and fridge doesn’t get quite as cool but still would love to stay again!
