Driftwood was the perfect beach house. Very open and super clean home. Had everything we needed. Enjoyed both decks and use of the grill. Very short, easy walk to the beach. Beds were very comfortable. Can't wait to go 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!
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.
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.
House is very nice, super clean with recent updates in kitchen and bathrooms. The beds were comfy and there was ample seating for large family meals. Nice large deck and outdoor eating area in screened in porch. Short walk to beach and also walk to salty dog area, nice community pool as well! Definitely recommend.
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.
We truly enjoyed the property. It was a great location close to the beach and had wonderful amenities. We enjoyed the spacious quarters, screen porch and deck, and the downstairs game room. There was plenty of fridge and counter space, as well as bathrooms and bedrooms of different types for our group. Everything we could need was provided in the house. House managers were responsive to our questions. No items needed repair. Overall A.
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.
Overall we liked the property and the house and was a easy access to the beach. The house had everything that we needed. We had hoped that the fence area would be suitable for dogs but there are openings on one side of the fence that dogs could easily slip through. The fence area for the dogs also needs some clean mulch or pine straw because it is not clean enough for a dog to use and then come into the house. There was some water dripping from the toilet tank in the hall bath but we fixed it. One of our older friends said that they thought the rug in the downstairs carpet was a triping hazard and should have some carpet tape to hold it in place. Again we enjoyed the stay and only these things were listed because everything else was great.
Easy for family walking to the beach and salty dog area.

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!
Charming home, great location, perfect for us and our teenagers. We had an issue with plumbing which was quickly and efficiently taken care of. Looking forward to visiting again!

House was great! Very 60s 70. Vibe, we missed a coffee table to play games! Other wise always great!
Fantastic location for the Pikes Peak Race. Came with co-workers for a few days and this rental had everything we needed. Great communication from the owner with all my questions prior to booking and through the rental weekend. Would stay again.
Excellent location in Sea Pines, walkable to Salty Dog, tennis and pool. Easy access, short walk to the beach. House had beautiful landscaping, and the decks were great. Kitchen and baths have been beautifully redone.
We had everything we needed for a beautiful beach vacation. My family absolutely loved it! The owners thought of everything. There were a couple of times that they did not notify us of things I felt they should, but they were very quick to respond when I texted. We would definitely stay here 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.
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.
