Drift Away Gulf Shores

The home is great, spacious rooms help to accommodate bigger groups. Some light switches control tv's and getting them to work was sometimes tricky. If switches were labeled it would probably make things easier. Would like to see a binder letting you know info on the home along with things to do in the area. Overall home was great, would definitely recommend home/area for proximity to beach and easy to walk to entertainment. The Beach Ball Properties staff was easy to work with and quick to answer questions.

Wonderful stay

Thank you for a wonderful week with family. The space was good and all had plenty of sleeping room. Of course the teenager wanted “the dungeon!” - down stairs. They love that. The beach toys & wagon were great as we didn't have to bring any. Kids just wanted a pool! Sorry the outside shower didn't work so I wen & bought a water hose to wash off before walking in house. Need a few more dishes, & knows & forks. The town was great & everyone was so nice, even people on the beach. I went to beach early in al & late in pm due to heat. But we all made it. Thanks for the memories! 👍✔️

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, listing accuracy
Disliked: Communication
Check in was easy. The house was in a great location; very close to the beach. However, the sinks in the bathrooms were clogged & the tvs didn’t work. I reached out to maintenance and no one never showed up during the 5 days I was there. Also, the area rug in the living room was very filthy; needs to be replaced/removed.

We have stayed at the DriftAway for a couple of years and we were happy to see blinds on the windows in the main living area and a new couch. One thing we would like to see for our future visits, if possible, is a TV in the bedroom on the main level. Also, we were not able to get the TV on the lower level to work. In all our stay was great as always!
