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.

I booked this place based on the reviews and I wasn’t disappointed. Took my family including 2 kids under 8 to Spanish Wells for the first time and we all had a perfect week. The weather cooperated just enough with the storm that went through Florida and because this house is on the north side of the island we remained sheltered from any wind. The house was perfect for a family with multiple interests; My wife was able to get her quiet time for reading, I was able to get out snorkel and ride the golf cart around and the kids swam for hours every day. We did cook at home for most meals and the house was stocked well enough to accommodate that. My only suggestion would be to provide something to allow the guest to enjoy some of the plentiful coconuts everywhere around the island. The kids saw numerous small fish, conchs and starfish right in the water from the back of the house. Communication with Becky was top notch as it can be a little overwhelming traveling with small kids and the transition from plane to boat to golf cart to house was seemless. We rented a charter one day with Capt. Smiley and SpanishWells SeaVentures, his boat was really nice and we had a great half day seeing turtles, stingrays and snorkeling; if you get the chance call him. All in all we would absolutely book again.

We recently visited Spanish Wells for the first time and we stayed at Drift Away. We couldn’t have picked a more perfect place for our family! It felt as though we were on our own private island because it was so quiet and relaxing. We had our own private dock where we spent our days floating around in the ocean, snorkeling and kayaking. Even our teenagers had a blast, which says something!! The views were breathtaking and the ocean was so calm and peaceful. The owners were extremely helpful and arranged for our transportation from the airport to the house and assisted us in our golf cart rental. Overall it was a perfect get away and we really hope to come back again one day soon!

Sometimes you build up trips in your mind and they aren’t always what you hoped for. Not the case with Drift Away cottage. First the hosts were great. We had to make a lot of changes and move dates and they accommodated us. They set up our transportation from plane to house and helped us get settled in. The house and location was more than I could have imagined. Breath taking views. You really don’t have to leave the house but we wanted to go beach and we had it all to our selves for hours. Some of the most beautiful white sand tropical beaches. Just like a post card. The island was very nice. The people there are so friendly. I’m already planning on coming back. Food and service was great as highly recommend.

This was our sixth trip to Spanish Wells. Drift Away was perfect for our party of 4 adults. The house and property was exactly as advertised. The driveway into the front of the house was so inviting with native trees and flowers. The view to the water was breathtaking from every room in the cottage. You really didn’t have to leave the property to enjoy sunning, swimming and even snorkeling. The interior was clean and comfortable. We had everything we needed to cook and relax. A nice addition would be 4 beach chairs to take to the beaches. We definitely will return to Drift Away!

A great house in a spectacular setting. We could sit out on the deck and stare at the gorgeous water for hours on end! The house is well-equipped, clean and nicely decorated. Air conditioning was excellent, the bed very comfortable, and the half-bath on the main floor was a nice touch. Rebecca and Sarah were terrific - arranging for transport from the airport, reserving a golf cart, and meeting us at the ferry dock to take us to the house. Just a completely terrific experience. Highly recommended!

This is our second stay in this home and I just can't say enough about how great it is. The water is extremely calm in this area. The home is well taken care of and very responsive host.

Drift Away was such a gem! Beyond our expectations, very comfortable, updated furniture and the outside area was outstanding. Very private. The only thing I would add, is that it would have been nice to have a small ( drawer) dishwasher. We ate in quite a bit and it would have been nice to pop everything in a dishwasher.
