Gulf Shores

A little chilly the first week in March, but not bad. We got to watch a storm come through. That was kind of cool. The view from our balcony was awesome, and the beach was great for walking. Proximity to restaurants was great too.

Clean condo in great location!

The condo was very clean and in a great location. The beds and furniture were very comfortable. We have 3 children so we wanted to stay right on the beach. It is steps to the beach which made it easy. We walked to the Hangout, Bahama Bobs, souvenir shop, and for ice cream on different nights. We will be back!

Beautiful View

We have stayed at Island Winds West multiple times. This is in the top 3 convenient. Property managment contacted us after check in to make sure the property was as expected . There was one minor maintenance issue with a door (which was not urgent, we were just making them aware of it) but someone came right away to fix it so the door would operate correctly. I appreciated that.

Horrible Property Management

Place was nice however the door code malfunctioned and my family had to wait in the hallway for 45 minutes at 10:30 at night. The emergency maintenance department couldn’t get ahold of maintenance and finally called called us back and told us there was nothing they could do. After forcing the door open due to being locked out for over an hour with young children sitting in the hallway they charged us extra for damages. For the money we spent to stay here we were very disappointed in how it played out.

I would definitely recommend staying here 10/10. View is amazing from the living room area and master bedroom. Very spacious rooms. Master shower is amazing. Beds are comfortable. It has recently been updated. Never heard anyone above us or beside us which is a plus for me. Location is a 10/10. Walking distance for shopping and dining. You are literally steps away from the beach. We will definitely be staying here again!!

Quiet and relaxing

The condo was located in a great place, close to shops, restaurants, and the beach. It was clean and nicely furnished. The beach and condo pool were nice, well maintained, and clean. Only minor maintenance issues with a loose kitchen sink faucet that would swivel every time you turned it on or off, a flickering light bulb in main bathroom, and not enough lighting in second bathroom making for a very dark shower. All minor issues. The office was a little difficult to find when first arriving so we could get a printed copy of parking pass. Over all it was a great place to stay.

Great Unit for the Price

This was a clean, cute, and comfortable unit. It was just my son and I, but it could easily house the other two members of our family. I will definitely keep this unit in mind for our next visit to Gulf Shores.

Summer vacation

Over all it was an amazing vacation. The condo was in a perfect location, close to everything that we wanted. The only negative about it was the construction going on in the one next to us while we were there. I feel that would be something to maybe inform your guests about before hand. But with us being gone most of the time, it didn't bother us any. The view from the balcony was picture perfect. Most mornings and afternoons we had dolphins swimming by, which was an extra bonus to enjoy watching. There were too many great thjngs to consider what little bad that there was. The vending machine down in the lobby was sold out except for water the whole visit. But when you're eating at amazing local restaurants and enjoying a balcony view like that, you really can't complain about small stuff like that. I'd personally rate it a 9/10, and would recommend it to anyone.

Amazing location & great family atmosphere

Obviously located directly on the beach however even better as it was an extremely minimal walking distance to the beach from the condo. It was so convenient while carrying all of our beach necessities as well as to and/from the pool. It was a great family atmosphere for children. We enjoyed interacting with other families and children.

This unit was alittle smaller than I thought but it worked. I couldn’t find bedding for sofa bed so I called and it took too long so we seen one of the workers and they graciously gave us plenty. Nice location. Staff on premises was very friendly. Loved the option to grill etc
