The cleaning crew was running behind on our arrival date but the company communicated and worked to make things right. We already booked this property again. ##### Kim A. Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Sina S. 8 Sept 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Location for Private Beach Experience We wanted to be "away from it all" and "right on the beach" and this house filled both of those things perfectly. The house is right on the beach, with 1 awesome master suite on one side and then 2 bedrooms on the other side. The king bed on the other side, faces the ocean and has a slider out to the porch, just like the master. The screened in porch has a large dining table and is great for eating breakfast and dinner (a little hot for lunch in the summer). Unfortunately, the bedroom with 2 twin beds on the back side of the house is really small, dark and noisy because it's right next to the AC unit on the porch that faces away from the ocean. So, no views, plus it was always hot in that room, the AC didn't seem to cool it properly, while the rest of the house was quite cold. There was a large ceiling fan, but it only had 2 settings: wind tunnel (high) and rusty train (medium) speed. Our children who shared that room didn't mind the "white noise," but it's definitely something you wouldn't expect. All of the bedrooms have their own toilet, which is super convenient. The fridge has an icemaker, which is great, because not all house rentals have that feature. One thing that was a bummer, we arrived at 3:45 and our check-in was at 4pm, but the code didn't "work" until 4:15 - standing outside trying to get it to work and then not being able to get through on the phone lines was frustrating. I did send text messages, which seemed the best way to communicate and I was relieved that we got in by 4:15. ##### Sina S.

We loved the accommodations, the decks, the screen porch and especially the puppy gates at each entrance, and even the fenced area for pet's business. The home was in very nice condition on the interior, but could use some minor repairs to the exterior. Overall, loved the stay, loved the location and will likely return in the future. ##### Paul B.

It turned out it was a great way to get away and reflect on the beauty of God’s creation. The house was wonderful. It gave us plenty of space for meals , games and movie time. We enjoyed the screened in porch although I was glad we brought an out door insect repellent. It made the space a fun place for a lunch break from the beach. The kitchen was well appointed with all of the dishes and tools we could need to make our meals. With social distancing in place we made our meals at our beach retreat. The last day of the trip the beaches were closed but we still could see and hear the waves crashing while we played card games. We felt blessed to be temporarily insulated from all of the chaos that was going on around the world with Covid 19. Thank you Driftwood Inn for a wonderful family time. ##### Crystal F.

Overall the place was fantastic. The rooms were clean, the view was amazing, and there were not a lot of neighbors this time of year. The only issues we had were with the internet (some of us still had to work at times) the internet was erratic and after the 2nd day was out completely.

Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2019 ### 6/10 Okay #### Timothy C. 3 Sept 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, location Disliked: Check-in, communication #### Nice house, good location, pet friendly - but don't bring small pets We enjoyed many parts of this rental, and were disappointed in a few. Pros: clean, tidy, renovated, charming, good garage, easy walk to beach, linens provided. Cons: \*We booked a pet-friendly house deliberately and were excited about the fenced-in enclosure allowing dogs access to the inside, the deck and a small play yard. We did not anticipate that the rails of the fence would be so wide that our dog could scoot right through. \*We were also excited about the screen porch facing the ocean -- except that the screens were detached, blowing in the wind. \*One room with twin beds was cramped and extremely LOUD because the AC unit was only inches away from the beds, separated only by a piece of glass. \*The other room with one bed was lovely, but had an AC vent right over the bed, which dripped all night on anyone sleeping there. \*The washing machine worked once. When we called property management to fix it, they said it wasn't an emergency and would put the ticket in line. Called back two days later; after 20 minutes on the phone and significant debate, we finally got word that the last renters had reported a problem and there was a replacement part on order. Instructions were to unplug the washer for 30 seconds, then plug back in. That finally worked -- but a note or some notice beforehand would have saved us all a lot of work. \*Dishwasher worked, but was mounted incorrectly, so when the door was open and the racks loaded, the washer fell about 3 inches out of its mounting. \*It took 4 days for the AC system to cool the house to 70 (while keeping doors and windows closed). \*The outdoor shower was barely functional, with missing pieces that would compromise privacy. \*Teeny, tiny shower in the master; guest shower had a glass door that was improperly mounted and swung freely in a dangerous way. ##### Timothy C. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2019 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### kelly s. 9 May 2018 #### Great beach rental Driftwood Inn is one of my favorite Harris properties out of the three we have rented in the past 6 years since using Harris. The house was very clean and beautifully decorated. The beds were comfortable and linens were plentiful and of high quality. The kitchen was well appointed with everything you could possibly need. It may appear as though you don’t have much storage space in the kitchen, however, all it takes is a bit of re- arranging of the many dishes, and our 10 days worth of groceries fit fine. The appliances were also very nice and in great working order. Some of our favorite things were: the screened in porch, plenty of covered parking on a concreat slab, and everything from the light switches to the kitchen drawers were labeled!!!! How convenient! And last but not least, the incredible gulf front view- thanks Harris Properties for another great week! See you next April!! ( Kelly Stedeford- part of the Holly Raley group!). ##### kelly s. ### 6/10 Okay #### James S. 22 Aug 2017 #### A Week at Gulf Shores Upon arrival of Driftwood Inn, we were initially extremely pleased. The house was as advertised. The house overall is in need of a renovation. The kitchen is small, tight, and barely functional for more than 1 person in it at a time. While there are ample supplies of dishes, there is NO space at all for any place to put your groceries except the refrigerator. As we started pulling dishes out to use, bowls to clean our food, etc, we noticed that pretty much everything needed to be washed. The giant spider living behind the microwave gave us all a startle, but it has been eliminated. A pest control service should be used as many others pests were seen and dealt with. The house cools nicely thanks to the workhorse air conditioner. The ceiling fans in all the rooms help nicely too. We had issues with the family room fan stuck in the "high" setting, but that was resolved by mgmt on Monday of our stay. It is nice the linens are supplied so those don't need to be packed or rented, however, 1 kitchen towel is not enough for ANY kitchen. While the new laundry machines are available to wash your own towels, it would just be nice to not have to constantly be doing laundry. The bathroom linens supplied were sufficient. Bathroom cleanliness was average. Along with the kitchen, things were not done thoroughly. The cleaning service should be talked to about spending more time. Kitchen floor had hair, dust, dog food left over from previous guests. Bathroom floors had hair and dust. A vacuum was supplied, but NO broom (at a beach house, really?) Beds are hard and extremely uncomfortable, these should be replaced. Porch was used everyday for meals. This is a great addition to the property, but the screens need to be replaced on the doors as they have been ripped or cut by previous guests to allow entry after being locked out of the porch. This is usually a $20 fix, and about an hour to do at most. The dual decks again, are a beautiful addition to the house, however, the stairs going down from the master side of the house are connected to the rest of the deck by 1 nail. They move and shift while stepping on it. This is a DANGEROUS HAZARD and need to be repaired or replaced IMMEDIATELY. Thankfully the east side house deck seems to be fine. All in all, a descent week despite the things noted. Hopefully the issues are taken care of for future guests. ##### James S.

It was a very beautiful house and beach! We all loved it! The only problem I had was the parking area and deck were dirty, with trash, but other than that I really enjoyed the stay and wish it could have been longer! ##### Karey J. ### 8/10 Good #### Shelly P. 7 Aug 2017 #### Beach front and fun! Its beach front! This was our second time staying at Driftwood Inn and we will stay again. Beds in all three rooms could be better certainly. They're uncomfortable! However, the rest of the house is suitable. Its equipped with nearly everything needed to enjoy a beach vacation. We had our three young kids with us and it was a wonderful time. The house was clean upon arrival and with three kids who are literally into everything, a clean house is very important. We cooked almost every night and the kitchen had all the necessary tools to help create fabulous gulf seafood dinners. My wonderful husband and I enjoyed cocktails while swinging on the enclosed deck. The kids wanted to stay longer! They enjoyed the house, beach, ocean, and fun as much as we did. Thank you for sharing a great beach front home with us. We will be coming back next year! ##### Shelly P. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2017
