Drift Away Cottage was simply beautiful. As soon as we pulled up, we knew we made the right decision to book here. Once inside, it was even more fabulous. Clean, well decorated, comfy and had everything a family of five and one Nana and one Mimi could need. I really appreciated the communication throughout this process as well- spot on vacation and we will book again!
