This condo complex is older and not as clean as expected. The condo we stayed in was clean but not warm or inviting. It felt like a place run by a company instead of another human being. Everything seemed cheap and not welcoming. The one thing the place has going for it - is the close proximity to the ocean and the gorgeous view of the ocean and the moon on the water at night.

The location is superb. But not as clean or immaculate as I expected. The bed is very uncomfortable.

Very nice time visiting my mom and sister and clan for the 4th of July weekend. Traffic was heavy but not as bad as it seemed. Ended up having a relaxing time and enjoyed the food down there. Shopping was great as well.

Current online pics don't do it justice

This property still requires a key for entry, but the process for picking it up at the office was quick and smooth. Online pics need to be updated; they have painted and changed some furniture and decor. Easy access to the beach and pool from this unit. Our only true issue would be the size of the bathrooms. They are tiny compared to what we are used to and what we have experienced in other condos. Overall, a great place and as described in its ad.

Family stay

Nice location and easy beach access. Nice lived in decor. Did not feel like the grandkids were going to break any fancy decorations. Very comfortable beds. Could have used a pack-n-play and booster seat or highchair for the infant but we brought our own. The appliances all in working order. Overall great place for the fall season price.

We were pleased with the property! Would be great if they could switch to a keypad entry door lock. Keys are a bit troublesome to keep up with if you’ve got teens coming and goin. Overall we liked this place!

Bed bugs!

Apparently now have brought them home with me!!!!! This issue is not revolved and will not be for quite some time. It is possible that they have now been transported to several homes from my family. The owner of this condo and the agency will be held responsible for all the the expenses to get rid of the bed bugs! I promise you that I will not stop.

location is perfect

The condo has a mild moldly smell. Could use some love. Owbners dont give you anything to clean dishes with, so if you come you need to bring something. Property doesnt provide any extra trash bags either. You will need to bring bath soap, kitchen and handwashing soaps. Toliet paper,paper towels and all extra stuff you need.

Condo Great/Hurricane Sally not so much😁

The condo was wonderful. Great location. Had everything we needed for a great vacation. However...less than 48 hours after arrival Hurricane Sally decided to turn suddenly from a New Orleans landfall to a Gulf Shores. We checked out after 2 nights. The good folks at Poole and Associates refunded our unused 6 nights. We will be back to Driftwood Towers 5C in the near future.
