About this property

Waterfront Vacation Rental - Private & Quiet Location - Fully Air-conditioned

Property photos updated 2023.
New for 2018 - Sunbathing Deck overlooking the water with 2 sunbathing chairs!!
Drift Away is a vacation rental that sits at the edge of the shoreline and boasts iconic views of the ocean. Right outside your door are shallow, turquoise waters, great for swimming, paddle-boarding, kayaking or exploring, and just 1 mile away is the pristine, white sand beach that stretches the whole northern shore of Spanish Wells.
Drift Away has 2 en-suite bedrooms/bathrooms, both with breath-taking views of the sea. The guest bedroom upstairs also opens onto it's own private deck. The cottage has an open living and kitchen area with nice, high ceilings and opens onto a covered porch, great for enjoying evening cocktails or a relaxing cup of morning coffee. The living room has a queen pull-out sofa that can also sleep 2 people.
Drift Away has a large, manicured yard with lots of room for the kids to run and play and also a gazebo that sits right over the water; great for relaxing while keeping an eye on the kids or for a barbecue with the family. Also included are 2 kayaks for exploring the shoreline or surrounding areas, and an outdoor shower!
Come stay in Drift Away and wake up each morning to awe-inspiring sunrises and drift off to sleep each night with tranquil sounds of the ocean.

Spectacular vacation!
Driftaway is heaven on earth...the home is clean and bright and so comfortable. The outdoor spaces hit all the right notes; between the covered deck by the water where you can watch turtles, fish and dolphins, the hammock later in the day in the dappled sunshine, and the sunny deck when the wind picks up and you need the heat. The only bad part was leaving.....I hate to rave about Driftaway only because it will be harder for us to rent but the owners deserve your business, they have created a beautiful home away from home in the Bahamas!

I can't say enough about this property. Perfect private location. Quiet and relaxing. The home is well equipped and extremely clean. We appreciated that the owner met us at the ferry dock and took us to the home. We look forward to returning.
