Perfect location. Unit was very clean and accommodations were very good.

The property was very nice. Employees & security were very friendly. Very nice, big pool, with separate kiddie pool for the small ones. Water pressure in the showers was WONDERFUL!

I appreciate you writing us a review! I am glad you enjoyed your stay with us. Giving us a 4-star review because the HOA doesn't allow smoking on the balcony is disheartening though, it is on the listing and in the rental agreement so deducting a star from us for something we are upfront about doesn't seem fair to me. Thank you!

I appreciate you writing us a review! I reached out to this guest to see why the review was lower and she stated because she couldn't smoke on the balcony. As listed on the listing smoking is only allowed in designated smoking areas throughout the common areas of the complex, no smoking or vaping in the unit or on the balcony. Please keep that in mind and plan accordingly if you are a smoker and considering a stay at Island Winds, this is a HOA rule so it will be the same at all units in this complex. Thank you!

I appreciate the review. I would like to pint out that every complex in the area charges for parking, actually Island Winds has one of the best prices on parking passes in the area. It is listed in my listing that parking passes must be purchased as well. Thanks

Great spring break getaway!

Perfect condo right on the beach and within walking distance to many restaurants including The Hangout! The kiddie pool was a huge hit for my three year old. The condo was very clean and accommodating.

Loved the condo and location however the mattress was extremely soft, not sure if it was old or just the type of mattress but my wife and I could not get a comfortable night sleep..everything else lived up to the description.

That mattress is only a couple years old. We prefer a softer bed so we put that in since we use that unit often! We do have other units with firmer beds so keep us in mind for your next trip!

Great place to stay!

Exceptionally clean, very well appointed, great parking and very easy to enter and exit from the street. Is next door to public beach, near great restaurants and has a great beach view from room and balcony. One of the nicest condos I’ve rented in Gulf Shores, if not the nicest for price of rental. I will book again. Traffic is not near as congested as on East end of Beach Highway. Easy access to beach
