Condo Great/Hurricane Sally not so muchšŸ˜

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.

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.
