5/5 stars
This was a perfect location and home for our girls' weekend and bachelorette trip! It was a quick walk to beach access and to the Hangout for the Shrimp Festival that was taking place that weekend!
- Rylee

Thanks so much, Rylee! We’re thrilled to hear you had a perfect stay at Driftwood Cottage. It’s fantastic to know the location was ideal for your girls' weekend and bachelorette trip, with easy access to the beach and the Hangout for the Shrimp Festival. We’d love to welcome you back anytime for another wonderful visit!

I’m making myself sound ancient, but I drink tea before I go to bed every night and there were three giant, perfect nighttime tea mugs. Know how many nights I stayed?? 3. So clean. Shower corners, sofa, sinks... bathroom everythings. If you closed your eyes and focused on nothing else for a moment, you could even smell a very faint whisper of bleach. But as soon as you identified it, it was gone. Perfect. Tile and furniture isn’t that flimsy stuff you typically see in Airbnbs, it was solid. Good tile. Good furniture. Solid bed that didn’t move or creak. I felt like I was home. (Except the pillows. Bring your own.) Speaking of sturdy, there was a tornado watch at one point and I suggest not standing behind the door when that wind comes; it’s got a lot of mass. I made a mistake of sliding the bedroom door open as a gust of wind came in and knocked a cute little plastic succulent on the floor. I hope you guys like the new one I bought. It’s cute too. The pots worked fabulously; I didn’t even use the Pam I bought from Walmart on my way in. One of the [fabulous glass] Tupperwares had a lid, which made me glad I was by myself. The others remain lidless, but are still made of incredible glass. (Death be to plastic Tupperware. Thanks be to glass.) All the bathrooms are full. I was by myself, so I used only one, but it was glorious insurance knowing that no matter what, there would always be another room full of amenities- clean and unused. The WiFi was spotty but the view was lovely, the neighborhood was quiet, and the water straight from the sink was delicious. I looked for a fancy filtration unit, but only found the garbage disposal, which is something I was grateful to have. Must be Gulf Shores! Delicious. I packed up our dog and drove 30 minutes down the road to introduce her to the Gulf. It was a blast! Fort Morgan was fun to hike and we saw so many dolphins while we walked the beach. Lots of sticks and driftwood, since it’s not touristy, so watch your step! The sand is still nice and fine though; it’s not shelly or rocky. 👍 Must mention: the people at Walmart were all very friendly. When does THAT happen?? (Atlanta People of Walmart are buck wild.) One more thing: the shower head actually sprays water. And it’s lovely. 👍 (how do people rinse off in those showers that trickle water?? I don’t understand) I'm very picky, and I loved this place. Want to go back. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 stars

It’s fantastic to know that you appreciated the cleanliness, solid furnishings, and thoughtful amenities like the tea mugs and glass Tupperware.

10/10 Excellent Getaway
5/5 stars
The place was perfect for our family vacation. We were able to pay the pet fee, and bring our small dog which was great. The management company texted the beach conditions everyday and asked if we needed anything. The house was so cute and with the pool, it was so easy with the kids! We would absolutely go back to this vacation home. The area was super serene, quick access to town and the beach, and overall just a safe environment. Highly recommend for families or pet parents!

Perfect space
5/5 stars
The space was perfect for my small family. We came in town for a wedding and a long week end! It did rain while we were there but the inside was so comfortable and cooking was a breeze in the kitchen! I would definitely stay again

Great stay close to it all
5/5 stars
Had a great time! The condo was beautiful and clean. The pool area was great. Everything was a few blocks away such as food, the beach, and shopping. White sandy beaches and clear water. Great vacation!

A+++ Super cute and comfy!
5/5 stars
We had a wonderful time at Driftwood Cottage! Very clean and spacious. The walk to the beach was quick and easy. Plus we were surrounded by good food places! One suggestion, if you have small kids, bring baby gates. There are a lot of steep stairs so we had to run to Walmart and buy a couple gates.

Gulf Shores family beach trip
5/5 stars
Great house, spacious and clean. Pool was small but super clean and refreshing before and after beach with the heat. Check in and check out we’re easy. Beach and restaurants were a short two block walk every direction. Only suggestions would be to provide more trash bags in bottom of each can and possibly a couple of extra bath towels. Kitchen was great with nice appliances as well as the washer/dryer were amazing. Kitchen could use some more wooden cooking utensils instead of plastic. Icemaker on fridge was awesome and AC was super cold in house. We did beach 2 days with kiddos and then rented a boat and went out on one of the days. The Hangout and Oyster House were amazing restaurants with a variety plus great seafood!
- Andrea

Perfect location to be close to the beach but still easy access to everything!! The house was perfect! Covered parking was a plus! The neighbors were all friendly and the pool was clean! It had all of the amenities we needed. The beach was close, just a few blocks away. I would definitely stay here again!!

Great Get-Away
5/5 stars
This was our second time staying in this eight house community, but the first at Driftwood Cottage. We were confident as our previous stay had been in an ITrip rental. We loved Driftwood Cottage as it fairly new, well kept, and super convenient. We love the location as well!

Perfect house in a perfect community
5/5 stars
We spent the weekend here and loved it. The house was nice. The pool was great. We did a shrimp boil and had everything we need besides the spices and food. The beach was about 5 blocks from the house. It was a little long but definitely manageable. Would def stay again.
- Austin

Awesome! We are so glad y'all enjoyed your stay! We appreciate your valuable feedback and look forward to seeing you again soon!
