3897 Driftwood - Walk to Beach & Mission, Hot Tub

10/10 Excellent
"The house was in good condition, all the amenities you need for a comfortable stay, at a home away from home. We loved the hot tub and outdoor fire pit and seating. I especially appreciated the keypad door code when we would leave and return at different times not having to think about a house key or a lock box was so much easier. "
