About this property

Romantic, Cozy and Secluded - Not Your Typical Beach Rental

This amazing beach house has tiled floors throughout, unique furniture and decorations, open floor plan, pleasing color schemes, the style is reminiscent of an old island plantation home. None of the typical condominium-style beach decor in this charmer.

The 3rd bedroom/bath has a separate entrance.

There are 2 private beach access for Surfside Shores residents and guests that are both a short walk.

Neighborhood description
The cottage is located in Surfside Shores subdivision, 14 miles out Ft. Morgan peninsula.
Fort Morgan is a well-kept secret with its beautiful white sand beaches without the crowds where you can enjoy the sunrises and sunsets from almost anywhere. Surrounded by nature in Fort Morgan you may see great blue herrings, turtles, dolphins and much other wildlife - truly a unique coastal area. Fort Morgan is known for its historic Civil War-era fort, a 6,000-acre wildlife refuge, and the Dauphin Island Ferry to the Dauphin Island Sea Lab. You can also enjoy bird-watching, charter fishing, golfing at world-class courses (Kiva Dunes next to Surfside Shores), offshore fishing, kayaking, biking, exploring the fort, shelling, ocean swimming, or simply relaxing enjoying this secluded paradise. Close by are several great restaurants offering fresh seafood, burgers, pizza, along with a store that has beach items, food, and necessities. If you feel like more entertainment Gulf Shores is just a 15-20-minute drive away. The Orange Beach Wharf/Restaurants/Shopping and Foley’s new OWA attraction and outlet mall are 30 minutes away.

Getting around
The house sits about 500 yards from the beach (as the crow fly.) 3 block walk. There are 2 private beach access for Surfside Shores residents and guests that are both a short walk. There are golf carts available for rent for those who choose that option. I can provide information on rental companies in the area.

Exceptional Service Amidst Unexpected Circumstances

My wife and I were looking forward to our beach vacation until an unexpected health concern with my father forced us to cancel our plans. What could have been a frustrating experience turned into a testament of our hosts' extraordinary service. Our hosts displayed exemplary understanding and professionalism, providing us with a generous refund given our circumstances. Their swift and compassionate response eased our difficulties during this challenging period. Even without experiencing the property firsthand, we can confidently recommend this beach rental for its exceptional hosts. Their kindness and empathy have left an indelible impression on us, and we are certain future guests will enjoy not just the property but also the outstanding service. We eagerly anticipate booking this beautiful beach rental again when circumstances permit. Thank you for your understanding and for turning an unfortunate situation into a display of genuine human kindness.

Perfect Beach Cottage Getaway!

Driftwood Cottage was exactly what we were looking for with privacy and close proximity to the beach. Pictures of the house were very accurate of the home furnishings and condition. The cottage was very clean, accommodating and home-y We very much enjoyed our stay and hope to return. Communication with Stephanie was excellent!
