No communication from the the owners once we arrived. Had questions and concerns but they never responded to my questions? WiFi password never would connect. Trash left under couch by previous tenants. They also have a sign telling you if you turn the air conditioner down below 72 degrees that it will freeze up. I think we’ll look elsewhere for our next beach vacation.

Perfection!

Amazing view right on the ocean! There’s a lot to do in the area; within walking distance. Condo is just lovely, some things could be updated but we enjoyed so much. Owner had ok communication at the beginning, at check in he was VERY prompt thankfully because there was a slight challenge, then he became uncommunicative at the end of our stay. I’d highly recommend this condo!

6/10 Okay

Liked: Check-in, location, listing accuracy
Location is good right on the beach with a great view. The room did have some missed cleaning spots which host apologized for. I will say this unit does need some updating/maintenance. A lot of things didn’t work like some of the lamps in the living room and bedroom didn’t work/broken, bedroom fan didn’t work properly so because you have to leave the thermostat on 72 it does get stuffy, half of the bedroom electric outlets didn’t work, ice maker didn’t work but they do have an ice machine down stairs, bathtub did not drain well and did not have a inner shower lining. Sometimes the toilet would not flush properly. There was only 2 of us so some things could be managed around but if you had more people it would be more of an inconvenience. They do provide kitchenware for use along with a starter kit of detergent and dish soap. There is a small washer and dryer which was a plus. The building has a trash shoot on each floor which was very convenient. The outside of the property is very well kept with lots of amenities. Also within good walking distance of good eating places and souvenir shops. This place is was good for the view and amenities but not for the price due to the need for maintenance. With new maintenance this place would be fantastic.

Gulf shores condo

Location was good! Asked to check in early but owner did not respond promptly so I ended up checking in at 4 ish. Code did not work at check in, but owner responded right away on this one. Condo was nice enough. Air worked. Bed was not good, seemed cheap. Toilet seemed wobbly and leaked at times. Ice maker did not work. No extra light bulbs and some lights were out. Communication could be better with owner. Overall the condo was good. Did not like having to pay to park. This should be absorbed by the owner. I would probably stay again due to only minor issues.

Excellent Value, Comfortable, Cozy

This unit is excellent. The view of the beach is perfect. The a/c is efficient and effective. Bring k-cups or use your own ground coffee with either of two coffee makers. There are coffee filters in the cabinet. There are some beach chairs and gear in the closet, and extra pillows/blanket.A past review mentioned slow drainage of a bathroom drain, but on our two visits the plumbing was 100% good and the shower is high pressure comfort.Your hosts are attentive and responsive. WiFi code is available at the parking pass desk.If you are a couple and of large build then you may find the bed a bit of a squeeze, I think it is queen size. If you crash on the couch close the blackout curtains - people flash bright LED lights on the beach at all hours.We rented this unit on two trips to the beach in May of 2025.Tips: sign up for parking online ahead of time; there may be a check in line but the folks are friendly and efficient. The staff is watchful for both parking violations and rules such as hanging stuff on the porch rails and they keep the property clean and orderly. There is an ice vending machine. The pools are well maintained.Walk to good food such as Bahama Bob’s a block down or the Italian beach bar across the street.We will rent this unit again if we only need one bedroom and we recommend it to you.

The views were amazing from the room but the room itself needs some maintenance work done. Island Winds West location had a nice pool area and great walk out to the beach, would recommend it.

Disappointed Outdated and CLOGGED

Place was very out dated, furniture was horrid and the plumbing was dreadfully clogged. The bed was terrible just a step up from blow-up mattress and the bedding was the same quality as in cheap and paper thin. The couch sounded like it was about to fall apart every time you sat on it. The bathroom was a nightmare. Everything was clogged. Nothing drained. You stood in inches of water to shower. The sink wouldn’t drain just brushing your teeth. The location was the only thing good, otherwise it was a massive let down. Pictures are hugely deceiving. Size was good for a couple but very disappointed overall. The 2 stars is for location and beach access.
