We have stayed at Adrift several times (I have lost count) and it's always a great stay. Our dog loves the backyard and the nearby leash free beach and we really appreciate the well-stocked kitchen and the lovely reading nook in the master bedroom. We always find everything we need, including fly spray, sun screen and other toiletries. Annie is always very helpful and responsive if we have questions or concerns. Thanks again!

The house is clean inside however outside needs tiding up - lots of cobwebs everywhere. The pictures on the website doesn't show the 3rd bedroom has only a curtain - no door on it. Great location and easy walk to dog beach - great for pets

Nice location, being close to Ventnor beach which over the long weekend it was quiet to walk along. The pictures online don’t really show an accurate picture of what the house looks like now. Things looked a bit older and the back yard, whilst dog friendly had lots of dead trees, that could have been maintained. Some of the windows where really hard to open or wouldn’t open, which I didn’t want to try too hard incase I broke it, and the fly screens where quite dirty and had lots of holes in them. Annie was really lovely to talk to. I loved that there was no limit on dogs or their sizes, and I was able to arrive and leave at anytime that suited me which I liked. Other places I’ve stayed at have a 2pm check in and need to leave by 10am. The free wifi was a great addition too. Overall a nice stay but if you are looking at the photos, just know that the house looks older.

Beach and Nature at Adrift at Ventnor.

Adrift had all our requirements for our stay plus added bonus of local rabbit visiting the back yard and possums at night. Our little Jackie Gracie loved it and the daily runs on the "off the leash" beach.

A great place to unwind

A very pleasant stay in an original beach house with added mod cons like a dishwasher and aircon. We enjoyed the lovely tranquil setting for the humans and the fur babies to unwind and relax. Just how a beach holiday should be without too much fuss or hard work - having linen supplied made things so easy! Really enjoyed strolls along the dog beach and partaking in yummy local fare at a couple of nice eateries a short drive away.
