About this property

Driftwood Sands: Comfortable Gulf-Front Retreat

Welcome to Driftwood Sands — a thoughtfully maintained, corner-unit Gulf-front condo at Driftwood Towers, designed for guests who want their vacation to feel easy from the moment they arrive.

This two-bedroom, two-bath home offers sweeping, unobstructed Gulf views from both the living area and the primary bedroom. Step onto the balcony for morning coffee, evening sunsets, and the sound of waves just below.

Inside, the space is clean, comfortable, and intentionally set up for real vacations. The kitchen is fully equipped, the living area is welcoming after beach days, and everything is organized so you can settle in without stress.

Driftwood Sands is part of Gulf Shores Beach Stays, a small, family-run collection of Gulf-front condos. We host only a few homes, allowing us to focus on consistency, cleanliness, and personal care — so you can focus on making memories at the beach.

Great property! Clean. Twin beds in one of the rooms could use new mattresses as they were very soft and uncomfortable but in all we were very happy.
