Beachy & Fun ^ Close to Everything ^ Perfect for Couples & Young Families
Thank you for spending a few moments looking at our condo. We hope to give you something to look forward to. We want you to know that we are vacationers too. We recently finished completely painting with new colors and furnishings. What we look for is a place that is affordable and is kept absolutely clean and has up to date furnishings. Our condo fits this description. You have a place that leaves you more money to spend on the rest of your vacation. You are using the same beach, same restaurants, same stores, same recreation places and other amenities that are used by the high priced condos. We also want to know what others have to say about our condo after they leave. We have many guest reviews for you to read. You don’t have to just take our word in the advertising.
Our condo is located in the heart of Gulf Shores. You can walk to a number of restaurants on wide sidewalks or walk to the many local flavor stores. Our condo is located directly across the street from the beach. We are on a corner and have a safe crossing light to our deeded access onto the beach. When you walk out the front door you will be standing on the beach in 3 minutes. You will be parking directly under our condo so your car stays safely covered for your stay at our Gentle Winds East A1.
3 Things to be Happy Someone to Love Something to Do Something to Look Forward to
Why do people keep coming back to Gulf Shores? Still has the small town beach feel. Still a family oriented city. Still the best Seafood restaurants anywhere. The incredibly white beaches that are so wide simply are beyond description until you see it yourself. Plenty of unique shopping places in Gulf Shores. All the familiar chain restaurants and stores are bordering Gulf Shores in Foley. Night time fun for families. Going to The Hangout during the day or night is a blast. Long walks down nearly secluded beaches in early mornings or before dark is a must.
Not long ago a fun renovation was completed. The latest changes are major. We now have a King Bed in the bed instead of the former queen beds. We had a wall built for the bedroom with a barn door. We created built-in bunk beds in the previous closet. These are child size bunks: 24" x 59". We have new flooring throughout the condo. Ceiling as been redone along with crown molding. Bathroom has been remodeled as well. We wanted a more intimate feeling but not leaving out the small families that need and want an affordable condo.
Our condo has nearly every convenience you have at home. The kitchen is fully stocked so you don’t have to bring home to here. We even put in new granite countertops. Plenty of linens and towels too. We have free Wifi so bring your laptop too. You will be working with us directly and you always have our phone number if you need us. We pride ourselves in responding every step of the way quickly and politely during the process of deciding and ultimately coming to our condo. We actively manage the condo and do all the cleaning and maintaining so we know what you want when you get here. Clean, Clean, Clean and comfortable!
In April 2023 a wonderful couple Matthew and Courtney Fallin and their family purchased the condo from Lisa and me. A deep friendship developed over the past year leading to their interest in our condo. I will continue to oversee the day to day operation of the condo and continue what we started many years ago. Matthew and Courtney also have properties in Pigeon Forge TN and this will be their first beach property. It is my privilege and honor to be able to stay on at Gentle Winds and now be a part of Matthew & Courtney's success.
If you have read this far: I am Randy Moris and am an unashamed follower and believer on Jesus Christ. My Savior and Lord. When my wife Lisa and I were in some of the darkest times of our lives we began a humble business at the beach with condos. Through the thousands of guests, just like you, we were able to do something other than to worry 24/7 about difficult situations within our family. What a blessing it is to serve you and others. Thank you for taking a look at this condo. You are the blessing.
Above All Else Consider Christ He Is Still The Answer

The location is fabulous for walking to the beach and to many of the restaurants. We really like the covered parking, plus the rooms were very clean. The owner was proactive with communication and it made check in and out super easy. I would definitely rent from him again
Very clean and exactly as pictured. Such a convenient location to the beach and easy access to other amenities. The Suggestion book on the counter was so helpful with reviews of surrounding activities and restaurants
Everything was super easy! Randy let us check in an hour early and everything we needed was provided. The price was amazing, especially considering the location. We will definitely return!
The unit itself was great...clean, well-taken care of, convenient location. The listing is accurate--it's perfect for a couple or small family with young children.
The condo was so cute, convenient, and cozy! Just a few steps, and your on the beach. It was decorated so cute, and it was very clean. I will definitely be staying there again if available when we head back down.
The property was beautifully maintained and clean. Proximity to the beach was perfect. Randy was an exceptional host quick to respond with any questions and gracious. Enjoyed our stay.
My 2nd year in a row staying at this property.... everything from booking, checking in, the stay and checking out was super easy. Randy is so nice and easy to to communicate with.
Very nice and comfortable living arrangements for the week. We loved everything about our stay. Location perfect. Randy, the host, very responsive and accommodating. The only complaint was we had to leave. Felt like home.
This was my first experience with VRBO, and I will definitely be ysing it again. Randy left very helpful, detailed instructions, and the place was exactly as pictured. Would recommended this place!
The property is just as listed..we realized how tall our boys are 9&11when they had to curl up in the bunk beds..the property has everything you need for 6..conveniently located by Waffle House and the Hang out made me a happy mom
Not having to cook..

Response from VrboOwner on 15 June 2024
Our condo has child sized bunks and show in the description that they are 58" long and designed purposely for younger children. Our condo advertises for 4 maximum. Telvy's review said we can handle 6 but we have a 4 person maximum. We appreciate her coming and hope she had a good stay.
The location of this place is perfect! The beach access is literally right across the street and there are both restaurants and a small convenient market (so you don't have to drive to Walmart) within walking distance. My husband and I have both agreed that this would be a location that we would be happy to stay at again.

About the host
Hosted by Randy Moris
Purchased Gentle Winds East unit A1 on March 31, 2023 by Matthew & Courtney Fallin - Oneonta, AL Their story: We are a family of 6 that enjoy serving our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, traveling and watching our children play sports. We have uniquely named our vacation properties after our children. It's a great blessing for us to be able to share our condo with you
Why they chose this property
We chose Gentle Winds for its excellent location and easy beach access. Gulf Shores is such a quaint small town with a big beach
What makes this property unique
It's not unique to come on vacation to the beach unless there is no beach where you live. The number 1 reason we always vacationed at Gulf Shores was to get on the beach. Of course there is always plenty of other activities to fill in your days and evenings but the beach was, is, and always be our first love (along with the mountains). Oh, and saving money by staying at our condos.
