People say…
“Drifting sands is a beautiful home in an even more magical location. The beach at the end of the garden is a real treat. The attention to detail that Claire has put into this property really sets it apart from the rest. We would definitely return given the chance.”
— Laura, November 2022
“Drifting Sands has a personality and style not often found in rental accommodation. The creative quirks are a visual feast for those who don’t do generic and enjoy their interiors with less bland and a more thoughtfully curated style, finesse and twist of humor.
With crisp linen, super comfy beds and a kitchen with all a chef needs (LeCreuset and sharp knives are just the start), Drifting Sands is set up to be your picture perfect home away from home, but better.”
— Michelle, October 2022
