Great Location and Clean!

Great location right on the beach with private boardwalk access. The house was clean and the host was very responsive to any questions we had. There was plenty of space for our extended family to gather together or spend time alone— especially with all bedrooms equipped with TVs. We spent 5 days and loved the convenience of the food trucks, a store and gas station within walking distance. The hot tub was a great addition, especially since the weather was a little cool.We will certainly consider Drift Away Chalet again.

Best house!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this spacious home on the beach. It was clean, comfortable, and included all the comforts of home. The kitchen was well-equipped. Bedding and towels were comfy. We enjoyed the hot tub too. A couple steps added to the beach walkway would be helpful. We would definitely stay again.

Drifted Away at the Chalet

I hesitated writing a review about the Drift Away Chalet because this place and our experience was absolutely perfect and I greedily wanted to keep this to all myself! lolThe house was clean, the amenities were plenty and well thought out. We didn't need for anything. The kitchen was fully stocked, the throw blankets were a nice touch while relaxing on the couch, the board games added to a family game night; again, this was put together very nicely.The balcony off of the master suite was a haven for our entire stay. Not that the other deck or patio areas lacked by any stretch of the imagination, it was just...perfect. Waves crashing onto the shore was a nice way to wake up in the morning and be lulled to sleep at night. We could not have asked for a better place to celebrate our 25th anniversary and enjoy our family vacation. What a way to drift away! Thank you 360 Blue for an unforgettable experience.
