(Previously listing #755173)

Unbeatable location at the center of Gulf Shores beach life! Once you unpack your car, put your keys away till its time to go home! NO MORE SAND IN YOUR CAR! Our Condo is only 2 blocks from the end of Highway 59 (the “T”). Take a right on west Beach Blvd and the second right you will arrive at your "Gem at the Beach".

Southwinds is a VERY low-density complex with only 12 units. Most are privately owned or personally rented out by the owners. It is a wonderful and warm group of people that have become part of our extended family. The location is ideal because the beach is right across the street, and once you are done for the day walking to everything else is so easy too! It is the perfect place to bring your family & friends!

Walk to over 10 restaurants/bars like The Hangout, Pink Pony, Shrimp Basket, Bahama Bobs, Papa Rocco’s, (less than 5 minute walk). We are also directly across the street from Bill’s by the Beach (recently featured on Food Network).

Shopping is also with in walking distance!

Enjoy stunning views of the beautiful white sandy beaches and the Gulf of Mexico from the front and back decks. The large front deck with a table, chairs and umbrella is perfect to enjoy the gulf views and salt air while you enjoy your meal with your family, and friends! The back deck is wonderful for a quiet retreat with an amazing view.

If you have ever been to the Hangout Music Festival, our condo is directly across from the main stage! Sit on the front deck and enjoy the music for free. We are one of the only condos INSIDE THE VENUE! *NO SHUTTLE PASSES TO PURCHASE, NO BIKES TO LOCK, NO LONG WALKS!*

Shrimp festival in October- simply sit on the back deck to enjoy the music or take a short walk to the stages and festivities. *NO WORRIES ABOUT PARKING OR TRAFFIC!*

Loved it!!
The property is outstanding, close to everything and very accommodating, clean with friendly neighbors. we have stayed there in the past and that is why we went back. Unfortunately, for the entire time we were there, 18 days there was heavy construction right nexr door, every day from 0630 until 1830. With that being said, we would still go back,

Great Location and amenities
Had to make a business trip to work at client's site and only a few blocks away from location. Liked it so much, we tried to get an extra few days in for fishing. Very nice and very clean!

Summer Vacation
Overall me and my girls loved this property. It was nice, neat, and fully equipped. Absolutely loved the location. It was around everything.The beach was practically at the front doorstep. Just a few steps across the street and there lays the beach. Just a quick walk down the street is The Hangout and more. Me and more girls really enjoyed scenery that we walked everywhere until it was time to go to the water park. The next time we visit the beach we will definitely look into this property again.

Great place at the beach
I can't say enough good things about our stay. Fantastic location and a great condo. Everything was very clean and in great condition. Loved being able to just cross the street to the public beach. I would definitely stay here again!

We recently purchased our second unit at Southwinds. We love it and love sharing it with others. We expect you to love it as much as we do!

Why they chose this property

After looking all over Gulf Shores, we found Southwinds. All I can say is Location, Location, Location.
We are close to everything. We can walk to numerous restaurants. It is nice watching the sunrise and sunset from our deck!
