About this property

Driftwood Inn-Beachfront Favorite, Pet-Friendly

Driftwood Inn

With your pick of outdoor spaces, including a screened porch facing end-to-end Gulf-front views, this classic gem in Fort Morgan is beachfront vacationing as it’s meant to be. Bring a group of up to 6 guests to a breezy 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath beach house with plenty of room. Don’t leave your pup at home – this rental is pet-friendly as are the beaches in Fort Morgan! This home’s exterior lights are turtle-friendly (non-white), too. 

About Driftwood Inn

Wherever you are in the house, the Gulf takes center stage. Wake up in one of TWO beachfront bedrooms and take in the views of the water. Even better, both of these bedrooms have sliding-door access to their own private deck with Gulf views! A nautical-themed third bedroom features two twin beds and an attached half-bath.. Two full bathrooms include a master with a walk-in shower and a guest bath. Sandy after a day at the beach? Not a problem. Just step into the enclosed and totally private outdoor shower and get clean under the blue skies. At dinnertime, the stocked kitchen provides all the appliances, pots, pans, cookware, and dishes your group needs to cook and eat. Feast together in full view of the Gulf on the screened porch with a table for six. After the meal, load the dishwasher, then stick around for a game of cards and a spectacular sunset show. On a rainy day, there is a second dining table for six located inside. Watch a DVD in the living area TV or stretch out on the sofa with a good book. Thanks to the open layout in the living space, everyone can spend time together and do their own thing, too.

**Pet-friendly property- additional fee (s) apply**

Total Relaxation

What a great week! Loved the quiet beach and the dogs who played there. It was reminiscent of the beaches 50 years ago before the developers moved in. The house was perfect- old style beach house with modern amenities! We slept with the porch doors open to the sound of the surf and a great nighttime breeze! A perfectly relaxing week in all respects!

Great Getaway!

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. But other than that the house was amazing and we will definitely stay here again.

Beachfront Escape

Our family of 7 enjoyed a fantastic week at this property in April. This house was perfect for us! The house is well maintained, well stocked and the beds were all very comfortable. (The only thing I would change is to add some dishcloths and dishtowels; one of each was not nearly enough.) I could keep talking about the inside of the house, but realistically we spent little time there. The true gem of this property is the screened in porch; how I wish I could have taken that porch and view home with me! What a treat it was to sit out there everyday (morning, noon or night) and listen to and watch the waves. Our final day there we saw dolphins in the morning and the evening. Our daughters spent so much time on the swing on the porch, even napping there sometimes. I love the fact that there were no bugs whatsoever that could get to us. We were able to keep an eye on our kids from the porch, as the water is even closer than it appears in the pictures. We spent so much time on the beach and in the waves, and then it was so easy to run up for a snack or whatever else we would need. This home is about 15-20 mins away from town, so the beach was not at all crowded. (It does seem a little remote, though, so if you are looking to stay in a "town" this is not the place for you.) We were hoping to get away from the hustle and bustle, so it was perfect for us. We would not hesitate to rent this property again, and hope to return again someday. Thank you for maintaining and sharing such a beautiful property!

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.

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.

Beachfront home has 2 king bedrooms, and 3rd bedroom with 2 twins, so its the perfect size for 2 couples with kids. Everything was clean, well organized, and in good working order. Check in and check out super easy, thanks to excellent instructions from host. But best of all is the surf-facing screened porch with a 2 seater porch swing. I sat out there for hours. I have already booked a return trip with my dog for the fall!

Spring break social distancing

We brought our kids to the beach for spring break. 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.
