I had an incredible stay at this beach house! The location is absolutely stunning, with direct access to the beach. The house itself is spacious, well-maintained, and beautifully decorated. The large windows provide breathtaking ocean views, especially during sunrise and sunset. The amenities were just right, from the fully equipped kitchen to the comfortable bedrooms. Relaxing on the private deck while listening to the waves was pure bliss. The owner was also very responsive and accommodating. I couldn't have asked for a better beach getaway. I highly recommend this beach house for a memorable vacation!
We had a great stay here. Every year we take a family trip to the beach and this place is now at the top of our list. The house was the perfect size for us and the fenced yard was perfect for our labs! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Matagorda and will definitely be coming back!
My family had a wonderful time at Driftwood. The house has so many extras and so many cute decorations. It was very well stocked, and we were able to cook all meals here rather than ordering out. The 4 bedrooms were great, everyone or every couple had their own room. The view from the kitchen table and outdoor porch is amazing! Everything worked perfectly. We used the dishwasher and washer/dryer. The ac was good. The outdoor shower was nice, it is always easier to wash off outside. I received check in instructions promptly- these were very detailed and helpful. I didn’t need to contact management during our stay because everything was explained in the check in instructions and the information provided in the house. The mosquitoes were awful but that is not something the homeowners can control, just bring lots of bug spray. We absolutely enjoyed our stay and highly recommend Driftwood beach house.
We stayed at the Driftwood Beach House last weekend and were SO pleased with the place! The house was clean, well decorated, and filled with amenities. Our favorite parts were the stunning beach views! The large windows showed great views of the beach and morning coffee on the large deck was a peaceful start to each day. The direct beach access was a HIT with our group. The only complaint we had was that we didn’t book a longer stay! Looking to stay here again next summer, for SURE! You won’t be disappointed, choosing this property.
The rental unit was nice and had beautiful views of the ocean. Amazing to walk out to the deck and hear the ocean. The walk to the beach was a little overgrown, but nothing as humans or canines couldn’t deal with and very nice to have a private beach path. The kitchen was very well stocked and we enjoyed the open floor plan. The living room area was also nice and comfortable. Cleanliness was good, stove and microwave were greasy but otherwise the unit was tidy. Now for the bad: Communication with property manager was significantly unresponsive. Texted property manager on the day of our check-in didn’t hear back from her the next afternoon; she said they had Covid but apparently their is no back up contacts. The air conditioner was not working at all (set to 72 but indoor temp reached 89 (wormer than outside)) we advised the property manager heard back from her 2 hours later. The property manager only attempt to rectify the problem was to move us out of our rental unit into a smaller rental unit at 10 o’clock (9:47pm) at night. She wanted to move my elderly parents, elderly aunt, my adult son, my husband and I, and our 3 dogs into a two bedroom without a fenced yard. The property manager showed no care for the hardship or chaos it would cause to move three elderly people, animals, and rest of us at 10 at night. The property manager also said she would send a air conditioning tech to fix broken AC the next day but we never heard from the property manager for the rest of our stay. We found previous complaints of broken air conditioning notated in the guest book and on a different rental site. The property manager did not notify us that there were difficulties with the air conditioning even though she had been advised the previous month. Currently working with VRBO conflict resolution. Other things, to be aware of if you stay here, the bed in bedroom four has a defective mattress and is unusable (the mattress sinks down in the middle at least 6 inches and you can see the springs sticking up). The bunkbeds can only be occupied by children on the top (occupancy of 12 adults is not possible). No attempt is made to deal with mosquito infestation.
The house and property were spot on like the pictures show. The view of the water from all sides was amazing. The home was spacious enough for 5 adults and 3 kids under 8! New fence around the deck and yard was secure for all littles and dogs. A short walk across the dunes to the water was doable for all of us. Owners were great for communicating with. We are already looking at dates for next year to come back!
Our group of 6 adults and 3 kids loved our stay at the Driftwood House. The location and view are wonderful, the house well stocked, simple, and clean. We ran into our hosts when checking in, and they were helpful and kind. The only real negatives for us were countless sticker burrs and mosquitoes, but we certainly wouldn't complain about the ecosystem and biodiversity of the beautiful sand dunes. Just make sure to have bug spray, and be cautious with dog paws in the grass.
Great location and communication!
Perfect Beach house right on a private beach. We love this area and will definitely be returning again.
It was a great place to go and get away with the whole family. The house was very nice.
