About this property

Island Winds East 308

Summary:

Beautiful renovation. Nicest condo at Island Winds East! Great views!



The Space:

Wait until you see this beautiful renovation!!!



Third floor condo at Island Winds East. Unit 308 has recently gone through a beautiful makeover with new paint, flooring, furniture, bedding and fixtures. This gorgeous condo is now even better, so come check it out. If this unit is booked on the dates you are looking for, the owner also owns Unit 202, which is an almost identical unit in the same building.



Renovated by an extremely detail-oriented owner and real estate developer, this 2/2 condo offers 821 square feet, a direct gulf view, and is on the 2nd floor of this low density building (87 total units).  This unit is situated right in the heart of Gulf Shores.  Located next to the new boardwalk and right behind the main stage at Hang Out Fest, you are only a 5 minute walk to the Hangout, the Pink Pony Pub, several surf shops and at least a dozen restaurants that are in the center of Gulf Shores. This is the absolute best location in town and the beachfront views are second to none.  This condo has floor-to-ceiling, high-performance windows, and sliding glass balcony doors for you to enjoy those stunning beach views.





The condo sleeps up to 8 with a king bed in the master bedroom, two full beds in the guest bedroom, and a queen-sized sleeper sofa in the living room.  



If you’re tired of outdated beach condos, this is the place for you.  This unit was completely renovated and is not only immaculate on the inside, but is also one of the nicest units in the entire complex. The following amenities were added during the renovation: 32x32 Volakas Polished Porcelain floor tiles throughout the entire unit, crown moulding, white shaker cabinets, granite countertops, a glass tile kitchen backsplash, stainless steel appliances, tiled bathroom tub surrounds (with a walk-in shower in the primary bathroom), new electronics, new kitchen and bath fixtures.  This unit is absolutely stunning. You'll love Island Winds East 308 and will want to return next year. 



Features include: Gulf front views, fully equipped kitchen, a convenient central location, gulf front pool, walk to restaurants and shops, Hang Out and Shrimp Festival favorite, stackable washer and dryer, Smart TV.  Egyptian cotton linens.



Complex Amenities:  Outdoor pool (heated seasonally in the spring and fall) and charcoal grilling area.



Be sure to book this unit early for the Shrimp Festival and Hangout Music Festival because it is in high demand. **4-night minimum required for Hangout Music Festival and Shrimp Festival.**

Great place to stay

Very nice location, great neighborhood. The unit was nicely remodeled. Nice swimming pool area and direct beach access. The only issues were some mold on the shower ceiling in the master bathroom and the freezer had ice in the bottom apparently from the ice maker. Overall this is a great place to stay we enjoyed our stay!

Weekend trip

The location is excellent; located on the beach with a short walk to the hangout, shops and restaurants. The building is older but the unit is newly renovated and very clean. The one car limit is a little difficult and took some shuffling. Given that the room says it sleeps 8, one car for everyone and their stuff is impossible. Overall, it was a great stay and we would stay here again.

Right on the beach

Nothing fancy but has the basics. Only issue was TV remotes not having all batteries. Enough space for a family of four and can’t get any better access just steps away from the beach.

Great location, nice condo, no complaints. Usually stay to March 31, but think the March rate was way to high. Went over to Texas instead.

Double red flags

We enjoyed our stay even with double red flags preventing us from getting into the gulf for 2 days. Condo is in an excellent location. Tons of other things to do in the area. Beautiful views. Tip for future travelers: if you’re staying for more than 2 days with more than 2 people, go and buy an umbrella, and chairs. It’s way more cost effective than renting from Ike’s. If you’re driving in bring your own with you.

The parking “one” pass is ridiculous with 6 guest. The office personnel were rude! Location was great, but condo is not in the condition it states in the summary.

Ok, but could be better

Our 1st impression on the property mgt was not good. We arrived to collect our keys for the property and they had not been left. We had been on the road all day and yet we were ask to wait on them, instead of them coming to us. When the young lady arrived, she never put her phone down, she didn’t greet us or apologize for the inconvenience. When we finally arrived at the condo, we found it looked just like the pics, new updates and nice. However, the “cleaning crew” are NOT doing a good job and yes I took pics. Also, in the living room there is a rug made out of stick down carpet squares... one was loose, one of the ladies in our group fell and hurt her leg and was bruised and sore. I have a pic of the carpet square also. I contacted HomeAway which is who I rented thru and did NOT receive a response. So in those areas we were disappointed. But the beach was beautiful !

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

The unit was nice and clean. The shower curtain fell down and the drain was kind of broken in the second bathroom. Everything else was fine. Great beach view. Glad there was no one next door as it was not a complete wall.
