Driftwood Inn, Beachfront, Pet-friendly 3BR, Screened porch!

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**

Lovely home for a relaxing beach getaway
Great home with a perfect layout for our family. Both adult rooms open directly into the deck with a glorious screened porch in between with a table for outside dining. Nicely equipped kitchen. 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.

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.

Very nice home for pets.
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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!

Quaint home. Great location.
The location was wonderful. The beach was not crowded, the home was clean, and we had a great time. Having stayed in multiple houses in the area for years one thing I'd change at Driftwood is the lack of kitchen storage space. There is no space for storing your food (besides the fridge); we bought big tubs to store our food on the floor and kept snacks on a console table in the living room. There are TONS of glasses in the unit - over 72 - and PLENTY of plates, bowls, and platters of all shapes and sizes. This would be wonderful except it took up space for potential food storage. As cabinet space was limited, fewer dishes might have helped. However, we like to prepare our meals at home each night. If you plan to eat your meals out, the lack of pantry space may not be an issue. As far as living space, the open concept is nice and the kitchen was not as separated from the living area as it seemed online. Closet space in the master is limited but there are SEVERAL extra blankets and bedding stored there. There are no closets in either of the other two rooms and some of the drawer space is taken up with extra bedding. Not a major issue; it just means you had to live out of your suitcase in the floor. It worked for us but by the end of the week we were wishing for some closet space. I'd say this home is best suited for a single family. The home is bright and you get lots of light which is nice. The decor gives you a beachy feel without being cheesy. We watched dolphins from the deck with our coffee in the mornings before heading to the beach and played games on the screened porch in the evenings. Overall Driftwood is a nice home. If the storage situation in the kitchen could be addressed it would help a lot! Thanks for a great week.

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!
