About this property

Beachfront Getaway. Relax On A Budget! 2 Bed Condo In The Heart Of Gulf Shores

Direct gulf front beach condo located in the most desirable area of Gulf Shores. Only a short walk to shopping, restaurants, nightly entertainment, including the infamous Hangout and annual Music Festivals. Right next to public beach for direct views of annual Fourth of July fireworks display. Views of the beautiful sugar-white sands and blue waters don’t get any better than this. Watch breathtaking sunrises and sunsets from your own balcony. Schools of dolphins can be spotted from the balcony swimming close to the beach. Unit has cable TV and free wireless access.
The master bedroom features a king size bed, room darkening drapes for sleeping late, private bath, flat screen TV with DVD player, and a great view of the Gulf. The second bedroom features a queen size bed, private bath, flat screen TV and DVD player. The queen-size sleeper sofa in the Living Room extends total sleeping capacity to 6.

The updated kitchen is fully equipped so you can let the chef in you emerge. There’s a large breakfast bar as well as separate pub table and stools, microwave, and apartment size washer and dryer right off the kitchen.

Building amenities include an exercise room located on the first floor, a large swimming pool and deck chair area, a separate kiddy pool for the little folks, and an ocean front gazebo with a barbeque grilling area, and a shaded picnic area under the building next to the pool. Umbrella and beach chair rentals are available on the beach in the summer months.

Vacationers to Gulf Shores are blessed with limitless possibilities when it comes to things to do and see.
If golf is your passion, be sure to take advantage of one or all of the nine incredibly beautiful area courses. Deep sea fishing charters are available year round. Many choose to fish from the beach or local pier, as well as many backwater areas where the fish are always biting. If you enjoy biking, Gulf Shores is a rider’s paradise. Bring your own or rent one from a local shop.
If shopping is your thing, you are only a short drive up Hwy 59 to the Tanger Outlet Mall, the largest shopping outlet in the area, as well as numerous great small boutiques and shops.
If you are a history buff and have your children with you, there are several wonderful possibilities. Less than 90 minutes away on Mobile Bay off Interstate 10 is the historic Battleship USS Alabama and Submarine USS Drum. In Pensacola, the National Naval Aviation Museum at the Naval Air Station is well worth the trip. Even closer is historic Fort Morgan less than 30 minutes away on Fort Morgan Road (Hwy 182). One thing is for sure: Visitors to Gulf Shores are never without something exciting to do!

Parking pass are purchased directly upon arrival. Passes are good for entire stay. Complex limits purchase to 1 pass per rental during peak rental periods.

Ok

It was a great area to stay. Unit could use some maintenance. Staying for a month it needed some new pans and skillet for cooking. The living room chair looks good but felt like I was sitting on ground, hard to get up and down for a 70 year old with bad knees.

Uncomfortable seating in the living room / bed noise

The accommodations were very nice and enjoyable for 2 adults. My issue or warning is the couch and chair are very hard to get out of. We are older and the low profile makes your exit up and out of them challenging.We had issues getting the local TV stations as well. It was a challenge to figure out which of the 3 remotes to operate for the free service in the room.The master bedroom king bed makes allot of noise when you get out of the bed on the edges. The side support seems to be worn out on the bed. I had to fix the leaky toilet in the master bath to stop the constant water fill. Those are the issues we had to deal with upon our arrival.The actual rooms and stay went well and very much enjoyed the view and sounds of the surf. If the living room issues were corrected, I would consider returning next year.We really liked the close location to Hwy 59 and the surrounding accommodations for shopping and food.I would recommend this area for those seeking a very nice beach and easy location with less traffic.

1st trip to Gulf Shores

We will definitely be back but for more than a week. My cleanliness rating is only based on the cleaner hasn’t cleaned base boards on a regular basis. Bathrooms really noticeable. We had a great week’s sleep nice & quiet. Nice new pillows. Beautiful weather

Great Getaway.

The condo was described perfectly to a T. The area has several restaurants and little stores in walking distance. Condo was clean and very well taken care of. Only one downfall was the mattress in the king bed was alittle sung in but nothing that would make me not stay there again. Looking forward to the next trip.

Summer Trip

The location of our stay was excellent. Islands West was a nice older building. Friendly atmosphere and easy check in. In need of some mild maintenance. Pool tiles falling off and in need of some paint. Our unit could stand a few bathroom updates otherwise clean and enjoyable.

Great location

The location was absolutely perfect. The view was amazing as we watched the Dolphins from our balcony each morning. Only negative was the tub would not drain in the front bathroom and the fan would not work. There was a lot of dirty clothes left in the dresser from a previous guest and no batteries in the tv remote. Overall these were minor issues. I would def. stay again.

Perfect for the Family

This was such a great condo. Perfect location and perfect beach access. (The beach is RIGHT there!) You could tell it was a little older property but it was well maintained and cleanliness was great. Easy check in and communication. We had three adults and two kids - perfectly fit us. Beautiful view of the beach. First time for my family at Gulf Shores and it was fantastic. Close to everything. Good thing we had the pool because it was double red flags for the week so - no beach swimming! Pool was a little small but water was kept at a good temp and it was clean. Kids had a good time in the pool. I even made a seafood boil and steamed crab legs one evening for dinner - well-equipped kitchen! The two grandkids gave the condo two thumbs up.

Central Gulf Shores location, wonderful views

My husband and I spent a wonderful, relaxing week at this top floor condo in early October. The unit was clean and decently equipped. The views from the balcony were great and we spent a lot of time out there. We were able to walk to several restaurants for dinners and running to the grocery was convenient enough with several options. We would stay here again in the future.

We have stayed at Island Winds West many times, but this was our first stay at this particular condo. The communication from management was excellent. We received everything we needed prior to our stay. The condo location is very convenient and close walking distance to many restaurants. The ocean view was beautiful.
