★Beachside Escape Private Modern Heated Pool -Your Vacation Getaway Gulf Shores★

Escape the crowds and bask in the serenity of your own secluded beach retreat by the coveted Surfside Shores! Wake up to breathtaking sunrises while sipping your favorite beverage from the expansive second-story porch. After a day of sun, sand, and sea, return home to fire up the grill for a family BBQ or unwind beside the large, 15 x 30 heated pool, complete with plenty of space to lounge and play.

★ Welcome to Driftwood Cove ★
A Contemporary Plantation-style beach retreat filled with artistic charm, modern comforts, and coastal elegance.

★ A Home with Heart
Driftwood Cove began as a beloved family retreat — a place where mornings started on the porch and evenings ended beneath the stars by the pool. As life shifted, the owners decided to open their doors and share this special space. With a love for art, comfort, and the coastal lifestyle, they transformed the home into a warm and welcoming getaway. Now, guests from all over come to create new memories in a place that still holds the spirit of its beginnings.

This thoughtfully designed home features three uniquely curated bedrooms, each with its own private en-suite bathroom. The spacious living area flows seamlessly onto a full-length screened porch overlooking your private pool oasis — the perfect spot to sip coffee with the salty breeze or unwind after a day at the beach.

The fully equipped chef’s kitchen offers high-end stainless steel appliances and a stunning Harvest Table, ready for dinners that turn into stories and memories. Whether you’re here for relaxation, celebration, or a little of both, Driftwood Cove is your serene beachside sanctuary.

Okay stay with room for improvement

The property and house do offer seclusion with beach access only two blocks away. The heated pool is a definite bonus but the per day cost to heat the pool is overpriced and not worth it. The house is roomy and open and the screened back porch is great. I realize our stay was during off-season but the house is in need

Perfect secluded spot for a family getaway

We really enjoyed our time in Gulf Shores. The house is far from the hustle and bustle making it easy to rest, recharge, and connect as a family. We absolutely loved the pool and how secluded it felt. The beach was an easy walk; it too felt peaceful and quiet. The cherry on top was Daniel, he made sure we had everything we needed, checked on us regularly, and was lightning fast to help!

Lovely Relaxing Stay

The home is modern cozy with an open and “touch of rustic feel.”. We were comfortable from the start. The kitchen was well stocked and beds comfie. It was my husband and our 19 year old boys. We had plenty of room and absolutely loved the pool as well as the quick walk to the beach. The communication with our host was excellent and welcoming. We would absolutely stay again!

Best vacation in a while!

This property was exactly how it was described…and quite honestly even better. They’ve thought of everything. We had our toddler with us, and they even had a built in gate for the stairwell, a pack and play, pool and beach toys, wagons, I mean you think of it…they had it. The pool is just amazing. We had the best time and will definitely be back. Thank you for an amazing trip!

Relaxation at its Finest

We were able to arrive three hours earlier! As soon as we got there my kiddos jumped straight into pool! They loved it!! It was fun for the whole family! The screened in back porch was so wonderful, we set there for hours. The beach was only two blocks away and there was a wagon we could put all of our beach supplies in! We loved how secluded it was. If you want a place away from all the noise this is the place! Anything we needed or any questions we had our host was on top of it! Our favorite part was just being able to relax and that our kiddos had a large pool to swim in. We will be back!!!

Solitude and Comfort

Wonderful property that the pictures don't do justice. Quiet and secluded property 500 yards from the beach. Great pool and very comfortable accommodations. Kitchen fully stocked, commercial hot water heater, Weber gas grill, frankly more amenities than most beach rentals. Enjoy the peaceful surroundings that is just not common for beach homes

Lovely Pool

We stayed with our adult sons and we all enjoyed the comfortable house with the 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. The house was neat and clean, we especially enjoyed the screened in deck. The pool and pool area were beautiful and we spent a lot of time lounging by the pool. The private beach was gorgeous and a short walk away. The beach was not crowded at all and we were fortunate to have great weather for our stay. Daniel was especially helpful and quick to reply to any questions we had.

Another great week

This is the 6th or 7th time we have rented Sea Oaks for a fall vacation. Great location only a couple of blocks from the beach (recommend renting a golf cart for beach gear transport) with pool and great screen porch for non-beach days. Owner has always communicated promptly to any questions and we have always found the house to be clean and ready upon arrival. Pet friendly is a plus as our dogs also love the annual trip. So glad to return this year after the hurricane damage in 2020. Looking forward to 2022!

A Place to Rest, Relax, & Recover.

As my wife and I are very busy people in our respective jobs, we needed separation to clear the he noise. This nugget of a find was exactly what we needed. The seclusion was there with the size of the property. The heated pool gives you the option to stay on site and still relax in the water. The ocean is just a small walk and the view on the beach is the best we've seen in 3 visits to the area. Daniel is like a best friend, being there for you for anything. 5 star service.

Baseball Week

Property was nice. The property manager was the best! Pool heater wasn’t working and he did the best he could to make sure all was well. The mattresses need to be updated, grill was in bad shape. There is some electrical issue that makes lights on the west side flicker. But a nice little place.

Fun week

Nice house with lots of space, 2 families of 5 very comfortable. The pool was very nice and we enjoyed it very much. The house could have been cleaner. There was a good amount of black dog hair throughout the house. The gas grill did not work, we replaced the empty propane tank and did speak to the owner about it not lighting. The downstairs directv box did not work which was an inconvenience for kids. Overall good place.

Quiet, secluded, beautiful

The grounds are gorgeous. Very rarely can you be two blocks from the beach and in a pine forest. The back yard is lovely and the kids enjoyed watching the rabbits run around. The pool is very pretty and the pool area made for nice lounging and evening picnics. The house was very clean and decorated very nicely. It was more than enough room for the 4 of us. The kitchen had all the utensils we needed. We appreciated there was dish washing and dishwasher detergent (and laundry too but we had brought our own). The only suggestion is to get new pillows for the master bed. They weren't comfy, but that was minor. Our favorite place was the screened porch. The weather was great and it is well shaded, so it was nice to sit out there any time of the day. We would definitely go back!

Perfect for a week away!

We were drawn to this rental because of the design and it was even better in person. All of the furnishings and fixtures were wonderful. Loved the porch, but it was so warm we didn't use it as much as we would earlier or later in the year. Would love to come back in the Spring to experience it in cooler weather. The air wasn't working as well as I think it could, but the ceiling fans were a great help and it wasn't enough of an issue to warrant a call to the property manager. The kitchen was perfectly equipped and met all our needs! The real suggestion I would have is to maybe provide an umbrella or sun shade around the pool area. The photo shows umbrellas, but the pool had been updated and renovated. Loved the wood fencing and the furniture, just wanted a bit of shade. Would definitely recommend it and next time, we may bring our dog!

Peace and Quiet

We enjoyed our honeymoon here so much! Communication with Michael and Daniel was super easy. Check in couldn't have been easier. Each bedroom has an in suite full bathroom. Lighting in the bathrooms is dim, so bring your lighted makeup mirror if you want to get dolled up. The house was stocked with plenty of TP, papertowels, garbage bags, and dish soap for our stay. Each bath was stocked with shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. The private pool/lounge area is nice and has very comfortable oversized furniture tha I fell in love with. The large lot gave us plenty of space to walk the dogs and plenty of privacy. The beach is an easy 5 minute walk. You can park golf carts only at the beach access, no other vehicles, so if you own one, bring it with you! I'd love to see a big comfy couch in the spacious living room if we're able to come back. Some good thick cushions on the balcony bench would be nice too. This place was pretty perfect. Michael and Daniel were accommodating and such a pleasure to deal with.

Fabulous Beach Getaway!!!

What a fabulous beach house!!! Sea Oaks is well equipped and very comfortable for our family of six. The contemporary California style is a cool change from the typical beach home. It’s just two blocks to the beautiful white sand beach that was never crowded. The salt water pool is a dream! It’s large and so refreshing after a day at the beach. The many lounge chairs, dining table and gas grill make the pool area a complete entertainment area too. The screened porch was a great spot to enjoy a glass of wine at the end of the day. My husband and four kids fished in the surf most mornings and had a ball doing it. Our 6 year old son even caught a crab in a net! (It was a little tricky releasing it though!) We love the Ft. Morgan area for the distance from the commercialism of Gulf Shores. It’s so quiet and sparsely populated. Sea Oaks is a true getaway from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. It’s a great place to decompress and reconnect as a family. We don’t mind the drive to have dinner out either. We love LuLu’s, Cosmo’s, The Original Oyster House and The Shrimp Basket. Well worth the drive! We took a day trip to Mobile to visit Battleship Park. What a highlight for the kids! They were in awe of the battleship, the USS Alabama and the submarine, the USS Drum. Another fun family outing was a private dolphin tour. It is something we will always remember! We’ve been vacationing in Fort Morgan for the last four years and Sea Oaks is our favorite beach home. We usually stay one week and have never rented the same place twice. This year we stayed the first two weeks of August and we would absolutely stay at Sea Oaks again. Donna, the property manager, is so helpful, friendly and quick to answer questions. The housekeeping staff was great and cleaned the house between our first and second week. We can’t wait to come back!!!

Wonderful September 2019 stay at Surf Side Shores

This home was perfect! We will stay here again! Backyard felt so private. Trees blocked view of homes next door. I swam laps in private pool each morning (short laps and I swam pool diagonally, but still was able to get my swim in). Beach was about a 3 block walk. If you have people in your party that can’t make the walk, you could drop them off at beach access point. Beach was amazing and felt like we had it all to ourselves. This beach allows dogs (most don’t) and is only for residents or guests of this small beach subdivision. I could see other people on beach, but they were so far away, I couldn’t hear them if I tried. Beach was clean, free of debris, with white, squeaky sand. Seriously squeaks when you walk on it. We were about 16 from the heart of Gulf Shores. Each day we spent pretty much the same way. In the morning, My husband would run the subdivision and I would swim. We would head out for a drive, explore, shop in Gulf Shores. Head back and hit the beach and then once we had enough sun, would go to the pool (which by 4 is pretty shaded). Then we would get cleaned up (love the huge walk-in showers) and head to dinner. Recommend the Sassy Bass like a mile from the house (great live music) and Tacky Jacks 2, a few miles away (great view of the bay and the “Bushwacker” drink is recommended!) Learned quickly that if you don’t want to wait in line at any restaurants, best time to get there is before 6pm. After 6, everywhere we went filled up. After dinner, we would head back to the house and hang out on the screened-porch. Could hear the frogs and cicadas and waves. Would take our dog for a long walk after sun was down and go to the beach. Overall, great stay!! Great for us and our dog. Perfect location if you want to get away from crowds. We are now spoiled after this beach. It really felt like our private getaway. Took us 11 hours to get there from home and was worth every minute.
