Property is exactly as described. Nothing new or fancy, house was comfortable and clean. Very cold air conditioning and comfortable beds. Neighborhood was quiet. View of the Bay was perfect. Home is full of vintage decor items, makes it unique. The front porch is enclosed with screened windows you can open for cool night air enjoyment.

Get away in Mobile Bay!

We made the right decision booking at the Driftwood Cottage! Laurie was easy to communicate with and kind. The location doesn’t get much better than this….a quiet neighborhood with beautiful sunrises. It was easy for us to take a day trip into Mobile or Dauphlin Island. The cottage is decorated in shabby chic and comfy. Thank you for sharing your special place!

Nice stay overlooking Mobile Bay

As advertised property with everything needed for a stay on the gulf coast. Host (Laurie) was easy to get a hold of and quick to respond to anything we needed. Check-in/out process was easy and painless. Would easily recommend for anyone wanting or needing a place to stay in this area.

Charming cottage by the bay

We had a relaxing time at this cottage with a great view of the bay and our 9 year old boxer mixed felt right at home. The cottage was in a great location to take day trips to Dauphin Island Al, Gulfport MS, Freehope Al, and Foley AL. The cottage was clean and quiet and we watched Netflix in the evenings to relax.

Great place to relax

We enjoyed sitting on the porch and listening to the birds and the water. It was so relaxing! The location is convenient enough to go into Mobile or other nearby areas easily but far enough from the hustle and bustle to be quiet. The host is great as well.

Peaceful, Accomodating, and comfortable

A feeling of warmth and comfort came upon us the moment we walked inside the cottage. Laurie made sure that we felt welcome. The cottage was older, with charm. The sunroom was where we were 90% of our time, watching shorebirds and ship traffic. We will definitely be back, God willing!

Easy Breezy

Cottage was very clean and had everything we needed for a weekend stay. The sunroom looked out onto the Mobile Bay and the neighborhood was peaceful and quiet. My only complaint is that there were no outside lights so, it was dark getting back at night. The host was very friendly and communicative. Overall a great experience!

Location, Location, Location

The view of the bay was amazing and it was centrally located to all the places we wanted to go. There was a park and a pier within walking distance which was really nice! The house itself had a few things in it that need repaired or replaced. There are not many dishes there so it would have been nice to also have something to wash them with besides just the dishwasher. Laurie was great and her checking in and out process was very smooth! She also left a nice and informative letter for us.

Loved this cozy cottage on Mobile Bay

This was a great find and will definitely come back. Great location, very clean and comfortable, had all the basics needed, super comfortable beds in both bedrooms with luxurious sheets/pillows, was perfect for the 3 of us. Very small bathroom but do-able with tub/shower. Wonderful to sit eating at the table, looking out the picture window across the street at Mobile Bay's activities, as well as sunrises. Laurie/owner was on call and very helpful with anything we needed to know. It is an older cottage, so if you're looking for ultra-modern, this is not the place for you. But if you love quaint with character, which we do, this is definitely the place for you!! We loved it.

Secluded paradise

Would have never guessed that there was a cottage on Mobile Bay when you enter the neighborhood. Very quiet with a fantastic view of the bay. Sunroom was perfect for coffee everyday. Visiting for our niece's wedding. Absolutely perfect. Thanks for having us!
