Let us introduce you to Driftwood!
Nestled along the picturesque 30A, Driftwood, a recently constructed property, offers direct access to the renowned 17-mile coastal bike path. Just a half-mile from 30A’s latest beach access—reachable in under 90 seconds via a golf cart—and conveniently located across from Topsail State Park, known for its unspoiled beaches, Driftwood ensures easy accessibility to pristine surroundings while bypassing the usual hustle and bustle of 30A.
Of course, variety is the spice of life and with over 6 beach accesses within one mile of Driftwood, you’ll never run short of options to soak up the sun.
Driftwood features 8 bedrooms, each with its own attached bath, comfortably accommodating up to 17 guests. All while maintaining its carefully curated coastal-chic style.
After soaking up the sun and beach, take a refreshing dip in Driftwood’s private pool or relax in its inviting splash pads.
In the evening, savor the coastal breeze from Driftwood’s covered 4th story covered deck.
This isn't your average rental. Freshly built in 2023, Driftwood presents state-of-the-art amenities ensuring your comfort and convenience. Expect designer-grade furnishings, top-quality mattresses, and high end appliances and bedding, guaranteeing a contemporary and comfortable stay.
Preparing a special group meal? Fantastic! Driftwood provides indoor dining for 18 simultaneously (seating for 12 at the dining table and 6 at the kitchen island), along with plenty of balcony seating and al-fresco tables.
Of course, not every meal is going to be chef-quality. So, Driftwood offers grab-n-go seating for 6 around its island to make quick work of mealtime…in order to maximize beachtime!

Ever wanted to try paddleboarding? Did you know that our beaches are home to rare Coastal Dune lakes that are found in only three places in the world?

But that’s no worry for Driftwood guests.
Simply strap the two free included paddleboards on our six-seater golf cart to experience one of our Coastal Dune lakes that is less than a mile from Driftwood.
Make lasting memories with loved ones that will be treasured for years to come. Choose more than just a typical beach house rental—allow us to invite you to embrace Driftwood’s unique coastal experience!

Checked all the boxes
Overall, we really enjoyed our stay here! We had 4 families and the house offered plenty of bedrooms, was clean, and everything functioned as it should. Communication with the property owner was clear and concise and the beach access close and beach itself was great.
The one thing we were disappointed about was the area surrounding the pool - it’s very small and there’s really nowhere to hang out unless you’re actually in the pool, in a lounge chair. There are no table, chairs or soft seating that is common with wanting to enjoy the pool area without having to actually be in it, especially with young kids who could swim all day long.
Overall, great stay and will be back to 30A!

Amazing location and property for a large group of people
Driftwood property was very nice and enjoyable-very spacious and immaculate! The property offered a 3ft to 5ft deep private pool, 6-seater golf cart, bicycles, propane grill
and paddleboard. There were plenty of bath towels sets, glassware, a crockpot, coffee machine, blender, cooking and eating utensils. I would have appreciated larger sized pots and pans but I was still able to use what was provided to get the job done. The beds and pillows were nice and plush.
I highly recommend Driftwood and would definitely stay again.
