Great location, nice interior space. Lacked amenities, I am used to places having small quantities of detergent, dishwasher soap, coffee, etc but none of that was provided. Also no hand towels in kitchen or downstairs bathroom. Would have given 5 stars if these small touches would have been done.

Perfect location in Gulf Shores!

My husband and I and our teenage daughter stayed here for three nights, and it was the perfect location for us! The beds were comfortable, and it had everything that we needed! We would not hesitate to stay here again if we were in Gulf Shores. Also, communication with the hosts was very quick, and they were quite accommodating.

Lived up to its billing as an ideal location. Was able to walk to just about everything that we wanted to and even when a drive was necessary, it was central enough to make it easy. Clean and well kept. We will absolutely be trying to stay here again next year.

Gulf Shores Condo Review

We loved the condo and enjoyed our stay. Great location and the condo is nicely decorated. Beds were comfortable. Would have given this 5 stars if dishes and silverware were cleaner. Also no dishwasher tabs or dish soap were provided. We would definitely stay again!

Response from VrboOwner on 2 April 2024
Thank you for your positive comments about the condo. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay and loved Southwinds like we do! The dishwasher is brand new, but I will ask the cleaning crew to use jet-dry. That should help! Excited to have you again in the future.

Birthday getaway

Took my granddaughter to OWA water park in Foley, AL. It was the perfect location. Just a short drive to the water park and just steps away from the beach. I got the best of both worlds. Everything was clean and really I didn’t have to buy anything but food. Would love to come back and stay here. Thank you!

Great location, but stinky stay.

Great location. Great communication from property owners. Unfortunately the condo has a strong human urine smell downstairs. Sandy floors upstairs. Huge cockroach running across the living room floor and a centipede on one of the pillows that my daughter was sleeping in!

Response from VrboOwner on 18 September 2023
I am so sorry that you had this happen! We were there right before your stay and I mopped with Pinesol, which was definitely the strong smell downstairs, which I communicated to you through text. Will not use Pinesol again! And we have pest control that sprays once a month, and have never seen bugs before. We have never had a bad review in 7 years of renting, so I apologize this happened.

Great location and host was great to communicate with. We were a bit disappointed about the lack of washing machine detergent, amount of toilet paper and lack of towels though.

Response from VrboOwner on 6 August 2026
Thank you for your feedback. There should have been one full roll of toilet paper in each bathroom and plenty of bath and kitchen towels. We do not provide laundry detergent, but will consider that in the future. 🏝️

Perfect spot for our family to enjoy the beautiful beach!

We had an awesome long weekend for our first visit to Gulf Shores and the South Winds condo was perfect for us! So close to the beach, literally pack up and walk down one flight of stairs and across the street. Right down the block from shopping, restaurants, ice cream, etc. Our kids enjoyed eating breakfast on the front patio table and swam in the condo pool for a break from the sand and waves! Loved being able to do laundry, make a few easy meals in the kitchen, and park our car right down the one flight of stairs for super easy access to come and go. Condo is very clean, has most everything you could need, and location can’t be beat!

Amazing Location!

We loved our stay at this property! It was clean and well taken care of. It’s proximity to the beach was so convenient; your toes are in the sand within 2 minutes of walking out the door. We also loved that we could comfortably walk to everything in town. We’d definitely stay here again!

Fantastic location, Fantastic Rental!

Our stay at this property was awesome! The location couldn’t have been more perfect. Just steps away from the beautiful white sand Gulf shores and in the center of all the attractions! We have stayed in a lot of vacation rentals and this one definitely gets 5 stars! The owners are extremely nice and made everything so smooth for our trip! We are already planning our next trip and will be staying here again!
