About this property

🏖️ Wild and free just like the sea🌊

Unlike many other condo buildings in Orange Beach, Wind Drift is on a stretch of quite private beach. Neighboring a nature preserve, this beach will never be overcrowded, providing a safe and unspoiled beach for families and children. Wind Drift is a low density building with only seven floors, allowing elevators to travel fast and your wait time to be short. Our amenities include a large outdoor pool, pickleball, boat/jet ski parking, and a pier with boat/jet ski slips available to guests at a small fee. The setting of this condo is perfect, located just across from Perdido Pass on Perdido Key and Ono Island Bridge. You will enjoy all the wide open space you can imagine. Enjoy boating and fishing on Ole River, with boating slips at your disposal. Championship golf courses, great deep sea fishing, and fabulous dining are just a few of the things that await you.

Our two bedroom/two bath, top floor, Gulf front condo is a perfect spot for your family vacation. This is an extra spacious, top floor unit is furnished with top of the line furniture and professionally decorated. Our larger than average private balcony is a great spot to hang out and enjoy the gorgeous views of the Gulf of Mexico. This unit sleeps six. This newly renovated condo has a fully equipped kitchen, a gorgeous dining room, wet bar, and den. The kitchen is well stocked and very spacious. We have a comfortable dining table and eat-in-bar with comfortable stools. Our beautifully custom furnished bedrooms are spacious with inviting comfortable beds. We have a great King bed in the master, two twin beds in the guest bedroom. For your convenience, we also offer a pack-n-play, high chair, and booster seat. We provide TVs in all bedrooms and high speed Internet access so you can stay connected!!

Rest at the WindDrift

We had a great stay. The weather was great and so was the condo. It was clean and nicely decorated. The only problem we had was limited parking due to construction at the condo next door. We love staying at the Wind Drift and hope to visit again.

If you can ever get past the front gate (and hats an add on if you want to park on property), it’s a well appointed condo. Simple, chic, well executed beach condo!

Mom and daughter vaca

We had a beautiful view of the water. The condo was perfect for the 2 of us. Kitchen was perfectly stocked. It was a very short boardwalk to the beach and easy to navigate for my elderly mother. Lots of nearby restaurants. 10/10 recommendation.

Great Location

Postives: The location makes the beach less crowded than other spots in the area. Check-in was easy. Unit is updated well. Negatives: Furniture appears to be outdoor furniture which is typically done to ease cleaning and increase durability, however, it's very uncomfortable. No place to put up your feet in the unit or on the patio. Bed pillows were flat and hard and scarce. Extra pillows were worse and only had zip on covers.

Great Vacation Spot

We had a very relaxing, quiet get away. It was spring break, but we didn’t even notice. The beach is private and was never crowded. Sliding door off of the master bedroom onto the balcony was my favorite feature. Highly recommend

Our stay was wonderful

We stayed at this condo between Christmas and New Years. First off, the weather could not have been better. The condo was clean, the beds were comfortable and everything was in good working condition. This condo is in a less populated area which is perfect for our taste. There was no excess noise and the beach was not crowded at all. It was the best possible place for us. Will definitely stay here again.

Perfect location!

This property was as-advertised. Beautiful and clean, it offers a beautiful view of the gulf and is great for sunrises and sunsets. Just a short elevator trip down with a nice boardwalk to the beach. Short drive to several delicious restaurants or even into Gulf Shores or Pensacola Florida if one is flying. Quiet location for families who need their kids to sleep at night and don’t want to mess with the louder parts of the area.

Beautiful Condo!

Great condo, one of the nicest we have ever stayed in. My three daughters and I were on our annual beach trip. Beautiful decor, very roomy, huge balcony and kitchen and comfortable beds. Was right by the elevator. Will stay there again next year! Poole & Assoc. were very helpful, even let me change my dates with no problem.

Fall break

Property and condo are exactly as pictured. Both very clean and well maintained. Our third time staying at Wind drift and second at this exact unit. We love this location. Very quiet and relaxing. The only improvement-and it’s a stretch to find one-the sofa and chairs are not comfortable. But we spend so little time indoors it has almost no significance.

Mostly great.

Overall impression was good and we enjoyed our stay. Construction noises were bothersome. We rented umbrellas and chairs every day it didn't rain and it was very irritating for groups to come and set up directly in front of us, between us and the beach.
