Paradise abounds at this palm-lined beauty, situated within walking distance of the beach! Curate your favorite vacation memories in the enclosed backyard, splashing in the saltwater pool, and engaging in some playful competition over rounds of water basketball. When you'd prefer to simply sit back and watch your loved ones play, sit on the screened-in balcony with a tropical beverage.

Minutes from the quiet of Driftwood Inn, you'll find local shops, restaurants, parks, and beaches. Rest assured that when you want to explore beyond Holmes Beach, there is easy access both on and off the island.

Bright, spacious, and upgraded, the interior of Driftwood Inn has it all! The open-concept living room, dining area, and kitchen are composed of high ceilings and ample natural lighting. Your favorite TV shows and movies will be streamed with ease from the comfort of the oversized sofa. When extra warmth is needed, flip on the fireplace. The adjacent kitchen is any chef's dream with its center island, farmhouse sink, plentiful counter space, and stainless steel appliances. Some of your favorite vacation memories will be made as a family, gathered around the large dining table.

The primary bedroom will become your own personal haven with its large TV, impressive walk-in closet, and spa-like en suite bathroom. Indulge in moments of self-care when you sink into the warmth of the soaking tub and rinse off in the walk-in shower. No one's comfort will go unattended to as all of the bedrooms come lined with high-quality linens and central air-conditioning. Shared washer/dryer access ties together Driftwood Inn's stellar amenities. No garage access.

Nice house with great updates appliances!

The house was beautifully updated! Location was wonderful as well! Short golf cart ride to Publix and other shopping. Downsides...no heated pool. This is important for stays in winter/spring! No sun in backyard and pool under the deck made the water temp a freezing 67 degrees. There is a heater and have no problem paying for heat at other houses. I would not have stayed if I knew that it was cold. No place to sit and eat inside the house. There are 2 barstools, but they are way to tall and no overhang to put legs under. Masterbathroom is gorgeous! Unfortunately, the bathtub was not useable as the drain plug did not work. The bidet/toilet closet was nice! Amazing bidet! Issue here is thedooropens onwards. You need to stradle the toilet to close the door. I love open concept, but there needs to be some type of door to the bathroom. If you want to shower or bath, you need to lock the master bedroom door. The second bathroom could be a bit bigger as it is shared with 2 other rooms. Small shower in there.Our 6'2 son was hitting elbows trying to shower :) Again, the house is tasteful and I wly upgraded! Heated pool and an indoor place to eat as a family would be great.

The cleaning staff was still in the unit at 4 PM when we were supposed to check in. They did not complete the cleaning until 4:45. They were going to leave mounds of garbage in the driveway, however we asked them to take the trash to the curb. They were very rude from the start, however we found the home clean when we went in. What we found lacking: No dining room table upstairs to eat together when it was raining or chilly to eat downstairs on the patio. We work remotely and there was no place for that to take place as the internet connection was not sufficient on the outside table. I do not understand why new guests should have to purchase new garbage bags, aluminum foil, plastic wrap, dishwashing liquid etc. To remove these items everytime someone stays and leaves them is ridiculous. As guests, we are spending enough money on the home. If there is an opportunity to leave non-food items for the next guest, I don't see why they cannot be left. This is the case in every other VRBO rental we have used. There is always the basic essentials, including salt & pepper and basic paper goods. To have to start over when I know there must have been some left from the previous guests is unfair.
