About this property

Cozy Cottage on Mobile Bay!

The western shore of Mobile Bay exudes peace and serenity. Breathtaking sunrises over the water wash away stress and tension. Twenty minutes from downtown Mobile and its restaurants and breweries, this cottage is the perfect location for relaxation. With easy access to all the Alabama Gulf Coast has to offer, this is a property you will want to return to, again and again. Please note this cottage is basic but functional. Nothing "fancy" about it!

Get away in Mobile Bay!

We made the right decision booking at the Driftwood Cottage! Laurie was easy to communicate with and kind. The location doesn’t get much better than this….a quiet neighborhood with beautiful sunrises. It was easy for us to take a day trip into Mobile or Dauphlin Island. The cottage is decorated in shabby chic and comfy. Thank you for sharing your special place!

Perfection

The house was wonderful. Laurie had the house stocked with all necessities. It is the perfect place to come back to after a busy day. The neighborhood was very quiet especially since we stayed July 4th weekend. We could see fireworks from multiple directions across the bay. My son was able to fish nightly and theres a bait shop a few minutes away. I would certainly book this house again!

Relaxing!

I loved sitting in the screened in porch/sunroom watching the water. I have so many pictures of the moon and the sun over the water. Sunrises were so beautiful. Everything about this place was relaxing. Bathroom is a bit small, but it was clean and well stocked. We will be back for sure. It was such a pleasant stay. we found a vegetable stand down the road and I cooked in the fully stocked kitchen. Enjoyed our stay.

Charming cottage by the bay

We had a relaxing time at this cottage with a great view of the bay and our 9 year old boxer mixed felt right at home. The cottage was in a great location to take day trips to Dauphin Island Al, Gulfport MS, Freehope Al, and Foley AL. The cottage was clean and quiet and we watched Netflix in the evenings to relax.

Relaxing stay

My husband and I enjoyed a 3-day stay in this unique, peaceful, and relaxing cottage. Our favorite time was spent in the sunroom, enjoying soft breezes wafting through the screen windows being stirred by the overhead fan while we watched cargo ships, sail boats, and shrimp boats gliding across the bay out in the distance, and pelicans dive bombing the water with big splashes. We got up early enough to view two beautiful sunrises. Laurie is a great hostess who went out of her way to make sure the place was clean, stocked with fresh linens and paper supplies, and welcoming for our visit. The sheets and duvets on the bed were clean and we slept well in the bed. The bathroom was small but the water pressure for showers was good.

Easy Breezy

Cottage was very clean and had everything we needed for a weekend stay. The sunroom looked out onto the Mobile Bay and the neighborhood was peaceful and quiet. My only complaint is that there were no outside lights so, it was dark getting back at night. The host was very friendly and communicative. Overall a great experience!

Peaceful, Accomodating, and comfortable

A feeling of warmth and comfort came upon us the moment we walked inside the cottage. Laurie made sure that we felt welcome. The cottage was older, with charm. The sunroom was where we were 90% of our time, watching shorebirds and ship traffic. We will definitely be back, God willing!

Nice stay overlooking Mobile Bay

As advertised property with everything needed for a stay on the gulf coast. Host (Laurie) was easy to get a hold of and quick to respond to anything we needed. Check-in/out process was easy and painless. Would easily recommend for anyone wanting or needing a place to stay in this area.

Location, Location, Location

The view of the bay was amazing and it was centrally located to all the places we wanted to go. There was a park and a pier within walking distance which was really nice! The house itself had a few things in it that need repaired or replaced. There are not many dishes there so it would have been nice to also have something to wash them with besides just the dishwasher. Laurie was great and her checking in and out process was very smooth! She also left a nice and informative letter for us.

Trip back home

We enjoyed our stay at Driftwood cottage. The view of the bay across the street was wonderful to wake up to and the host Laurie was very sweet and accommodating. The house was an older house that reminded you of being at grandma's house.
