The view is great
The price and the view made this trip for us. There are other bigger condo’s down the way but this was just our size and exactly what we wanted. Can’t wait to stay here again. 5B is the place too be.

Cozy and Comfortable with Amazing View!
Absolutely adorable unit that has everything you need to rest and relax. The home was very clean and the beds comfortable. Fully stocked kitchen made preparing meals easy. The balcony was spacious and offered a table to enjoy a morning cup of coffee.

Needs a good cleaning
Overall, this unit was fine, just a little older and needed a good cleaning. I will say this property needs a bathroom by the pool area because without one, you know there are several using the pool as their restroom.

The unit offered everything we needed. The kitchen was perfectly stocked (dishes and cookware). The bedrooms were spacious. My suggestions would be to upgrade the bedding in the master bedroom. The mattress was well worn and pillows were dingy. The bathroom had been upgraded except for the vent which came on with light. It was very loud. Other than being outdated the condo was nice and we enjoyed our stay.

February Visit
Loved the homey vibe in this unit. Very comfy and well kept for an older complex. We will come again…we will need the pool code next time though. Weather didn’t cooperate with us but we also couldn’t walk the beach as no code to get inside the pool/beach access. Also WiFi was great … but TV was complicated!

This condo is very quit and is the best place to relax and take it all in. Sitting on balcony listening and viewing the ocean when you can't be beachside is the best of both worlds. Very clean beach! Been coming to Driftwood for years and will continue many more if blessed

We lived the views and how easy it was to get in and out of the beach area and parking. Cleaning staff there every morning cleaning around common areas and pool. Close enough to walk to the hangout and other shops and restaurants.
