Driftwood on the Beach

Wake up to the sunrise over Lake Erie. Take relaxing walks along the beach, build a campfire at night and escape with the sounds of the waves as you drift off to sleep. You can also spend your days soaking up the sun on our private part of the beach.

Restful Vacation
The six of us that stayed at Driftwood on the Beach, thoroughly enjoyed our stay and visiting the surrounding area. The house was clean, neat, and very comfortable for the six of us. When some little things came up with the house or we had questions, Catherine was quick to reply and have answers for us. I would recommend this property to others who want a nice time away in this area.

Worst experience ever!
Initially the worst thing was the large number of large dead fish on the beach and in the water with the terrible accompanying smell. The cottage is beside large commercial fishing plants and directly in front of a water treatment plant. I was in complete shock when the neighbour came running at us as apparently my 4yr old and I had stepped over the property line to get to the beach. Later, our small Hobie Wave was pushed by strong waves back on to the beach. This time, she was screaming and verbally abusive, bullying us and scaring our son. We were not loud, or being disturbing. Just my husband, 4yr old and I. Catherine messaged us quite rudely telling us that we were violating the rules by "trespassing" on the neighbours property. We were already super defensive and complained strongly. She got angry with us and decided to punish us by having us leave immediately and resorted to threats and ignored all our calls. Our 4yr old had not eaten yet, we fed and parked him in front of the TV and packed as fast as we could. By 10:00 pm we were finally loaded up and got home around 3:00 am, continuing to get threatening messages from the owner until we left. The level of verbal abuse, repeated threats of calling the police - as if we were doing something criminal? Perhaps the color of our skin made them think that they can treat us the way they did. We made a complaint with VRBO who said that they would monitor the owner for other reports of a similar nature.

this property had all that you could ask for. the owners thought of everything a person would need for a comfortable stay from a well equipped kitchen to a lint brush. my only next step would be a better bbq. the one there was adequate at best

Delighted with Driftwood
We had a wonderful time at Driftwood. The place was lovely and clean with every amenity that we could want. The beds and bedding were comfortable. We spent most of our time enjoying the outdoors and still being protected by the covered deck. The only thing I can suggest is that the oven needs cleaning. Everything else was spotless.

Amazing!!!!!!
The cleanliness of this cottage was out of this world! The kitchen was fully stocked with every small appliance imaginable! The private beach was perfect for swimming and relaxing in the sand! Furniture and beds were very comfortable. The washer and dryer came in handy after going to the beach. Neighborhood was quiet. The perfect cottage to get away and relax! We will be renting this again next year!

Exceeded Expectations
Where to start… overall expectations were exceeded. Very well kept and very clean cottage. All amenities were available, more than we expected. More than enough dishes and cookware. There isn’t anything that we needed that wasn’t available. Very nice decor. We celebrated my fathers Birthday and he was extremely happy with everything as well. Catherine is a great and prompt communicator. We felt comfortable and safe and had a wonderful relaxing time during our stay. Lots of birds to watch. Sound of the waves can be heard throughout the property. Great atmosphere and great place. Would highly recommend.
