Beachfront Condo w Balcony 3/3 in Gulf Shores, AL at Tropical Winds

For an older property this unit was in an excellent location, very spacious, close to the beach (some newer properties are set back more, nicely equipped (extra pillows and blankets, good amount of bath towels, lots of pots/pans/ etc), blinds or curtains on every window for better sleeping, clean pool and common areas. The smaller complex meant fewer people on their beach, fewer people at the pool and easy and adequate parking.The cons are small things but need to be noted: like all rental properties, the info says that you are given starter paper products, etc. but there was only a partial roll of tissue in the bathrooms, 1/2 bottle of dish soap, 1/2 bottle of hand soaps in bathrooms. The ice maker had no ice- we bought some then discovered later that it was just turned off. There were no pot holders, no stoppers in some of the tubs and sinks. We looked everywhere and never found the sheets for the sofa bed until the last day and they were in a very unlikely spot- in a basket in a cabinet containing the puzzles and books- be sure to look there!My only real complaint is that for 2 solid days there was roof work going on directly above our top floor unit- hammering, power tools and it was very aggravating when we wanted to take a sun break/quiet time as there was no quiet to be had...... I wish we had been advised of this construction issue ahead of time as it would have been a deal breaker- msg to owner but no reply.

Very impressed with host, property location, condo layout and access to beach. Everything was excellent including pool. Will look to stay again in the future!

Our condo stay was comfortable and roomy for our group. The unit itself could definitely benefit from some updates in the bathroom. The master shower handle was unattached from the wall and difficult to shut off. There was great water pressure though! The appliances were very outdated. One of the burners on the stove top was just hanging and unusable. The tray below was greasy and would produce smoke when the burner was in use. The view was beautiful from the balcony. Also, the owner was quick to respond to any questions and concerns we had.

Owner was very helpfull. The condo was in a good location. We walked to a few places. It was clean. Everything you would need. The only issue was the shower was hard to turn on and off. We will stay there again

I would like to have cleaners and whiter towels. Body soaps in bathrooms. We have to go out and buy . Check the lights bulbs of lamps. Battery of remote control were bad in one of them Parking permite was given next day

I booked a last minute trip and we had a wonderful time! Perfect location and beautiful condo. The owner was super helpful we will definitely be staying here again.

Location! Location! Amazing views of the Gulf from the condo balcony and master bedroom! Easy access…parking to elevator, elevator to condo, and condo to pool/beach! Very comfortable and excellent room layout…each bedroom has its own bathroom! Close to all the restaurants and attractions! Great communication with owner! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Highly recommend this wonderful condo!

All went well. Particularly like the size of the building, only 32 units which means no long waits on elevator, no crowd at pool, and fewer people trying to claim their “space” in front of the condo on the beach. Also did not have any parking space issues. Great location, close to HangOut, but not too close if you no what I mean. The teenagers loved it!

The property is very beautiful and it is in a perfect location. The balcony and ocean view was perfect. The only downside was the lack of products such as toilet paper, paper towels, and trash bags. The bathtubs and showers seriously need upgrading. Our host was amazing and responded quickly to my text. I would definitely recommend this Property again.

It was great, fit our needs perfectly! Plenty to do and great location to everything
