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.

We loved our stay here! The view was stunning, and we had a nearly direct route to the ocean. Everything was exceptionally clean, well cared for, and offered our family of 5 a cozy retreat after a day of swimming and shopping. Our host was helpful, kind, and proactive in communication. We would absolutely stay here again!

We enjoyed the location and the easy access to the beach. The view from the balcony while having morning coffee and listening to the waves splash on the beach were so soothing. We did have an issue with the master bathroom tub not draining but Tim had a maintenance person there the next day to address the issue but it was not fixed. It took a second trip to correct the problem but it was corrected on this service call. We also had an issue with the bed in the master bedroom. The bed is a King bed but whoever made the bed put a queen top sheet on it. Every time one of us rolled over the other would have to pull the sheet back over themselves. I know that sounds silly until it happens to you. Even though we had a couple of issues, we really did enjoy this location and will definitely come back.

Response from VrboOwner on 17 June 2026
Hello Jon, thank you your review. Please know that people do make mistakes and I certainly believe you when talk about the wrong size sheet on the bed. Please know that if I can get a plumber to the condo overnight, I could also arrange to get you a sheet. However, if I don't know about an issue, I can't fix it. So please know that I am always available to help with any and all issues. Tim
