The washer and dryer were a plus. We will be back! Wendy and Joe ##### Wendy P. Stayed 15 nights in Feb 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Linda A. 9 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication Disliked: Listing accuracy #### Driftwood Studio This was a nice studio. There were a few things that need to be fixed.The filter on air conditioner duct need to be changed and the storm door doesn't close and has to be pulled shut. Several times the wind grabbed it and threw it open.The pictures on VRBO need to be updated as we were dissapointed when we arrived with our private deck. ##### Linda A.
