Place is nice. Furniture could use some updating. The fact that you are on the beach makes up for it all. We go every year.

We stayed in 204 in the East bldg. The place was clean and in good order. We did text about the lack of some supplies (coffee filters, dish soap, hand soap for the bathroom), and they came by with soap. I was surprised that there was no salt, pepper, etc. Anyway after seeing the place, we went back out and got the rest of what we needed. The bed was too firm for my wife's liking, and she did her best on it, and the couch.

Had an issue with one of the TV connections to dish tv. Asked for help - was told to call Dish. I feel, this is the owner/mgmt responsibility. Also, $45 for an extra parking pass??? And, very few condos are renting by the month. The owners make more money, now that the majority of them are renting only by the week. Gulf Shores is getting too big for its own good. "BIG town, SMALLer beach"!!!

The name is actually " Island Wind west" We weren't able to book a 1 bedroom unit, so took a 2 bedroom, it was beautiful and we loved having the extra space and bath. The view of the ocean was wonderful. The only down side is it's on the 1st floor. The view of the ocean is better a little higher up.

Right on the beach! Close to a lot of restaurants. If you need to go grocery shopping, don't go to Walmart, not a good experience!. On hwy 59 their is a Rouses grocery store. Man they have the best selection of food and great prices. The ice was $4.99 for a 15 lb bag!
