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.
