Our family of three stayed in the View Point Room, at the Driftwood Village Motel, the week of July 14th. We could have fitted two or three more in, comfortably. We very much enjoyed our stay. The views from the windows, and large balcony, are extraordinary. The View Point rooms are older, but very pleasant, 1960ish. The website photos don't do the rooms justice. The kitchen has new pots, pans, stove, etc. kitchen utensils. The beds and furniture are clean, very comfortable and pleasant. The staff and owners were helpful, friendly and informative, doing all they could to make the stay great, and encourage our return. I found the indoor grill, located in the chimney rock next to the fireplace, to be a fantastic plus. Enough folks have stayed in the View Point, to require booking it months in advance.

Just spent last weekend at Driftwood Village. It was disappointing in a number of ways. Quite rundown. Actually, one of the buildings was torn down some time ago after apparently sliding down the cliff. We weren't sure our building wasn't next. There were carpenter ants in the room. There were no numbers on the oven dial, so we couldn't calculate the temperature, but it didn't seem to ever heat up enough to bake our pizza. Worst of all, the toilet--there was a sign indicating it was a low flow toilet and it would overflow if not flushed correctly. We had to unclog it with the very ineffective plunger provided--TWICE!! Yuck!! Not what you want to do on your vacation.

We stayed in the Lighthouse Room this past weekend. It was a little funky but generally clean. They definitely need new beds and bedding, as both are quite old and dated...Definitely not soft and cuddly and closer to icky. The view was great, but the deck was so slanted we were afraid to go out on it, fearing it might crash into the bushes far below. The room itself was also quite slanted, as there must be some sort of structural problem with the building itself. The path down to the beach was nice...not more then ten minutes down the hill.

Arrived to discover there had been a slide sometime back and several units were not useable i.e. only a cantilevered deck remained. We originally had 4 rooms and we had cancelled 2. The mgrs. tried to tell us they needed a 30 days notice even though the confirm. card said 7 day notice. The views are nice but there are no telephones and no continental breakfast. A unique place but be aware amenities are few and be cautious re: the cancellation policy.
