| We truly enjoyed staying at the cottage. It was so homey and comfortable, everything was provided, we really only needed to bring our clothes! The trail to the beach was beautiful, and there was noone around us, so we could play music and cut up and have a good time! We really hope to visit there again, thanks you so much!! |

| Mike & Janet- Despite Trpoical Storm Ida paying us a visit during our stay, we thoroughly enjoyed your home. As you can imagine, a rare November tropical storm brings with it a cold rain and wind. However, the wood-burning fireplace made it a cozy retreat indoors for those few days. We really enjoyed our morning coffee and evening cocktails in the crows nest- the sunrises/sunsets were spectacular from that vantage point- we got to see the big cruise ships pull out of Mobile Bay at night- they looked like huge lit-up Christmas trees from miles away. Thank you for letting us stay at your home- there is no false advertising here- it is just as you have listed. A true home- no pre-fab condo. We will be back! |

| We absolutely LOVE staying at Driftwood Cottage. It is very spacious. Also, it is convenient to the beach. Just a pleasant stroll to the ocean...no driving. Our children enjoy the crow's nest and we like the private, screened in back porch. (A nice place to enjoy your morning coffee) A true home away from home.I would highly recommend this rental house for your vacation. |

Dear Janet and Mike:
Lorrie and I are so happy to have found this place to celebrate our 1st wedding anniversary. You have a very lovely home with a nice relaxing atmosphere. We enjoyed everything and are looking forward to many more stays here. This was the best vacation we have ever had. Thank you for having us! We’ve already booked for next year and can’t wait to come back.

Randy and I love it here. It is so
peaceful. I really needed the peace this
year! Love everything about this place.
We have always stayed directly on the
beach, but plan to come back next year
with our grandchildren (some of them)…
can't wait to come back. Took lots of
pictures for the family to see. We will
be calling you soon (before you get
booked). Thank you for a wonderful
vacation!

Oct 6 - 9 2009 Enjoyed three wonderful days here- wish we didn’t have to leave! The weather was great our entire stay. We went to the beach, on a dolphin cruise (awesome), to the Shrimp Festival, and shopping. We really enjoyed the privacy your home has, the trail to the beach was great and the screened in porch was awesome. We have been coming to Gulf Shores for years, and this makes our second year to stay in Ft. Morgan- we love it because our “babies” (dogs) get to go to the beach. Although we didn’t get to stay in the bedroom downstairs, it is so unique…. the landscaping was great as well. We never could get the wireless internet to work, and the guys said you need to switch the downstairs TV with the one upstairs. Your home is very cozy!

| We absolutely had a wonderful time in your lovey beach home. Everything and more was provided for us to have the best time ever since we were traveling from different areas to reconnect as a family. Thank you so much! |

Thanks Mike and Janet,
We had such a great time at your cottage. It is decorated so cute and makes you feel right at home. We loved the screened in porch to sit out and read a book where it was so peaceful. You were so great to work with and everything was just as described. We will definitely refer you to our family and friends. We hope to come back soon!!!

| After one bad on line rental experience,we were reluctant to try again,but after talking with the oweners,we were convinced to rent Driftwood Cottage.We are glad we did.The house is presented accurately on line.It is comfortably furnished in an eclectic style,without too much of a beach theme.For the times you want to cook in, the kitchen is fully furnished.The screened porch is a great place to just relax or read after spending time on the beach which is just a short walk away.The cottage is very private as there are no neighbors on either side.Does it sound as if we like this place? We do! Enough in fact to book it for our 40th anniveray. |

| We had an absolutely wonderful time ringing in the New Year at Driftwood Cottage! The house was very comfortable and had everything we needed. It is also in a great location. We really enjoyed playing games in front of the fireplace and appreciated how close we were to the beach. We hope to come back to ride those bikes! It was a pleasure working with such an accomodating owner. |

| This was a wonderful, comfortable place to enjoy a low-key vacation. The short walk to the beach through the "secret garden" seems more like Tuscany than the AL Gulf. Each room had extra touches for comfort, and we especially loved the beautifully furnished porch. I would definitely return to this cottage! |

| We visited in early November and had a great time! Weather, beaches, everything was beautiful. The house if perfect -- decorated like a "Southern Living" house, all the comforts of home, plus some. The top deck is a great place to eat shrimp & watch the sunset. We'll definitely be back! |

We were thrilled to find such a unique and special weekend getaway for our last-minute trip! This house has everything you would need to feel at home and is perfect for a little R & R.
The beach was close enough to walk in the morning, and to hear the surf at night. The captain's watch on top provides spectacular views of sunrises and sunsets. We plan to make this a regular trip! |
