Vacation Rentals by Owner

WONDERFUL place, great time

We went this past week (4/21-4/28) and had an absolute wonderful time. The condo was very conveniently located. The condo itself was fabulous. More than enough room for myself, my husband, my two kids and my mom. The kitchen was great, love the double fridge-most places only had a freezer on top which didn't work for us. We actually used the kitched for most of the meals and it was fully stocked with cooking essentials. The only drawback to the condo unit was the parking, I can imagine the parking garage being a nightmare during summer months. However, we went during a quiet time so it wasn't as much of an issue. (the garage has very tight spaces and a lot of people parked over the lines) The pool(s) were great!! Loved the kiddie pool and the indoor/outdoor pool combo. Only took us a couple of minutes to get to the beach. The owner was very friendly, even called us to see how our trip was going. I asked for a couple of recommendations for places to eat and she was spot on!! We loved this place and are looking to return to the same condo next year!! We've been to numerous condos and this by far was the best. (even my mom who is a gulf shores condo searching pro raved about it!)

We stayed in Seawinds 805 over Spring Break week 2012. We had great weather and a great time and definitely enjoyed the condo and its' accommodations. It was very clean, the beds were all comfortable and all of the appliances (including washer/dryer) were very new or in great condition. We also enjoyed the parking garage (parking can be iffy sometimes) and the easy access to the beach. Once we rode the elevators downstairs, we were literally a few steps from the beach. Our family included my wife, 2 teen age daughters and my 10 year old son. We highly recommend not only this condo, but the Gulf Shores area as well for a great week of fun and relaxation.

Quiet winter escape to the beach

We spent the week between Christmas and New Year's holiday at the beach and enjoyed our time in this condo. It had plenty of room for 4 adults and 1 teen. We watched both the sunrises and sunsets from the balcony. We also watched dolphins from the balcony. The condo was well equipped with everything from a sand toys to wineglasses. We didnot cook any meals in the kitchen and actually found many of the restaurants closed during the week, so we went to restaurants further away and had fun finding them. Our favorite restaurant was Big Fish in Orange Beach. All in all, we enoyed the trip and we will definitely return again to this condo.

We had a wonderful time enjoying your beautiful condo. Even though the ever present "Trpopical Depression Lee" was at our door we found fun things to do. This is my third time staying at this beautiful condo and it is just perfect every time!!! Thank you for sharing your home with us. We absolutely love it!

The property was as described. Clean environment and furniture. Could not have asked for better location and view of the beach. We enjoyed our stay we called owner and booked another night. Owner was very accommodating and informative. Next to a restaurant for those who don't want to cook. Would recommend and will stay again!

Hi from Houston. Thanks for the condo rental. It is a lovely place and very nicely decorated.We liked the amenities in the complex and the weather was good. The only thing that I can say needs improvement would be the mattress on the sofa sleeper...but that was not shocking ,as that is the case with most of that kind. I will definitely call on you again for accommodations ! Thanks again, M.S. Houston, Tx.

Condo was a nice place to vacation

Date of Stay: 06/04/11 Review Submitted: 06/20/11

We are a family of 6 and we had enough room for us all without a problem. The condo was very nicely decorated, it had all the amenities that we wanted plus beach towels and chairs. It was also nice that toilet paper, paper towels, hand soap and dish soap was provided, most condos don't provide this and that's the last thing you want to go buy on your vacation. We had a great time, the beach was nice, we loved to sit on the balcony and there was lots of things to do. The owner answered all my questions and was very nice.

We had an excellent trip to Gulf Shores and it all started with the condo. Susan was super to work with and everything was exactly as advertised! We will hopefully be back in the fall. Especially loved the convenience of Sea and Suds!

We have never stayed in this area with as much kindness and concerned shown by the owners as we were treated on our recent vacation. I would recomend the Stickler's to anyone visiting the Gulf Shores area.

February was a great month to be away from cold, snowy Ohio. Gulf Shores and Seawind 805 was a good place to be. The condo is so nicely appointed and so well located. Everything we needed to feel "at home" is available. We are looking forward to coming back again and again. Thank you, Susan, for being so easy to work with.

Absolutely beautiful condo on the 8th floor with a breath taking view of the ocean. Close to all the eateries and fun things to do - but far enough away for alone time. Will definitely return!

This was our first time to the Alabama Gulf shore. We booked this condo over the internet but we were not disappointed. The condo is tastefully decorated, it is well equipped and the beds were very comfortable. The location was perfect, close to everything we wanted to do. The view from the 8th floor was beautiful. Easy access to the beach, pools, etc. We would highly recommend this condo.

Seawind #805. Very Nice! Clean, close to everything, Sea&Suds is always a plus to be by! Condo was perfect, everything you could need to have an enjoyable stay. There were about 8 Dolphins playing just off the beach. View was great, and the sound of the Ocean was very calming while sleeping with patio doors open. Dealing with Owner was very easy and communications were great. Owner checked with us by email several times with information. Beds and Furniture were very comfortable. Have no fears when thinking of staying in this Unit.

Great Place. We were a little aprehensive at first from the description, we have some bad experiences in the past. . it was a pleasant surprise. . more than we expected. The view is simply phenomenal and the condo itself is one class above what you normally expect in a beachfront property. Just the fact that I was able to plug in my laptop to the Internet and work in the mornings while my family slept in.. was an added bonus for me. Thank you, we all had a great time!

We have stayed at several condo's but this one was by far the "BEST". If was very well stocked with anything you needed. The kiddie pool was great for our 2 year old, she loved it. We enjoyed the indoor/outdoor pool. The only words to say is we had a "BLAST" and we will stay again in the future.

I took my daughter with her friend, for Spring Break. The condo was wonderful. It was really a perfect location, and right outside the elevator. The decor was very tasteful and Updated. Open the doors and listen to the ocean, or watch the dolphins from the balcony as we did. It was really a relaxing time, because it was a great place to stay. We will come back, and have already recommended it to others. Sabrina Walpole

What a way to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. The condo was fabulous and the view of the beach and the gulf from the balcony was breathtaking. The beds were so comfortable, we felt like we were at home. The fitness room, sauna and hot tub were the best we have ever experienced. We can't wait to come back. Thanks again for making our first trip to Gulf Shores and our anniversary so special.

We spent the New Year's holiday at Seawind which was also our anniversary. The condo is absolutely beatiful! The furnishings and decor were right out of "House Beautiful". The view from the balcony was breathtaking - the sunrises and sunsets. What a picture! We will certainly stay again at Seawind #805.

My family and I stayed in this condo over the Spring Break Holidays. We had a fantastic time! The condo is beautiful! The kitchen is fully equipped with all you need - just like the comforts of home and the mattresses are so comfortable - the perfect end to a perfect day! Seawind Condominiums are convenient to all the attractions and eating establishments. Our kids loved the ocean, pool, workout facilities and the hot tub. There is a great zero entry pool for the younger kids with fountains, palm trees, etc.-very cute! We'll definitely be coming back to Seawinds #805
