A day at Driftwood Sands: Hit the fully stocked eat-in kitchen first thing in the morning to grab a cup o’ joe from the Keurig or French Press. Then head out to watch the light change over the ocean and plan your day at the outdoor dining table/deck rail bar while the kids (or kids at heart) roll out of the bunkroom to play in the yard below. Ready for breakfast? Zip over to the Holy Donut to grab a maple bacon donut before starting your adventure, or have a seat at the sunny bistro area to fuel up.

As your day winds down, stop by the marsh on your way home to slow down and watch the sunset over the water. As night falls, head back to the house to grab a burger off the BBQ and saunter down to the fire pit to regale the group on your escapades. Then head inside to the basement bar and turn on the game, grab a puzzle or board game from the shelf to gather around, or cozy up with a book from the library before heading off to bed. With 4 bedrooms plus a bunk room, there is plenty of space for everyone to recuperate before another day of fun in the sun.
