The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Since it was my first time using BOOKING, I had to complete some procedures, but the service was excellent, and everything was quickly resolved. The house was exactly as shown in the pictures, and I was very satisfied. The provided amenities were plentiful. However, the upstairs lacked a wardrobe for hanging clothes and an air conditioner, which made it feel a bit hot. Other than that, everything was great. ##### A guest from Reservoir, NA This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marie G. 22 Feb 2025 #### Driftwood Loft Retreat Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful.
