Accommodations: Condo, 1 Bedroom + Convertible bed(s), 1 Bath (Sleeps 4-6)
Keywords: Condominium
We own and manage our own condo. You will be working directly with us and not a rental agency.
We are so glad you found our place. Gulf Shores is a great place to come for a vacation. Our beaches are beautiful again and the water is sparkling. I think everyone loves coming to the beach and we have tried to provide a condo at a great price throughout the year . Our goal was to make our condo just the way we would like it to be when we are on vacation. Of course you want your vacation home away from home to be fun but you also want it to comfortable like home. We have accomplished that by using up to date furnishings and completely furnishing it so you don’t have to bring your whole house with you.
Lisa and I are almost fanatic when it comes to cleanliness. We make sure that everyone who comes to our condo are happy the moment they walk inside to see how clean everything is. Since we do our own cleaning we try not to miss a thing. I think everyone has stayed somewhere before when it wasn’t as clean as it should be so we are absolutely determined that you will never say that about our condo.
We are located only 3/8th of a mile from the main intersection at the end of Hwy 59 where the public beach is. That puts us in a super convenient area for walking to restaurants, shopping and other forms of entertainment. If you have heard of The Hangout then we are just down the street a little over ¼ mile away. The popular Sea-n-Suds on a pier is right across the street from our complex. Wide walking, running or biking lanes along Beach Blvd make it safe to go where you want by foot. That’s why we love our location.
Gulf Shores is just south of Foley, AL about 6 miles and if you like to shop there is the Tanger Outlet with about 150 stores. All the chain restaurants are in Foley. Gulf Shores has the local flavored restaurants like Lulu’s, The Original Oyster House, Tacky Jack’s, Bahama Bob’s, The Shrimp Basket, Ribs & Reds, The Islander. The bottom line is that we have the most beautiful, blindingly white beaches in the world. We hope you will want to consider our condo for your next visit.

Why the Owner Chose Gentle Winds East
Gulf Shores has always been our favorite place to go to. For many years we would come here on vacation and wished we could own a place here. Then we moved to Mobile and made the big move to buy a condo. Then one year later we couldn't resist it and bought a second one in the same complex. We must be crazy but we love it. A third is not far behind in another complex. Stay tuned.
The Unique Benefits at this Condo
Our condos are close to everything. You can walk to many things. Of course we hope you are coming for the beach. Our beaches are the prettiest beaches anywhere in the United States. Uniquely, we are hoping you have saved enough money on rent that you will have money left over for fun, eating and shopping. The beach is free. Walking and running are free. Everything else costs. Have fun in Gulf Shores!

Great Condo, Great Location, Great Price!!!

What a great place to stay! After finding out that my husband was going to be unable to take a last minute vacation, I ventured to the beach with just my two children. What a perfect location we found in this condo! The condo is in a great location...right across from the beach (with a street light that allows crossing the main boulevard very easy and safe). It is very clean and I felt completely safe staying there alone with my two small children. In fact, we walked the short distance to The Hangout rather than driving. Being an owner of a cabin rental business in the Ozarks, I am quite particular with the places I stay. I love to stay in places off the beaten path; however, I tend to be quite picky with my expectations of places I stay. But, I can say without reserve that Randy and his family have a great place that is well-maintained and managed! We had everything we needed and more! We got the beach without having to pay an astronomical price! We plan to return in the fall and will definitely stay here again...if available! :) Thanks for the memories!
Owner response:We appreciate this family for coming so far to spend time at our place. For other property owners to give such a nice review it is very gratifying.
Recommended for:Romantic getaway, tourists without a car, girls getaway, age 55+, families with young children.
Our favorite!

We've stayed in Randy & Lisa's condo twice in the last three years! It just doesn't get better. We always end up back here. You can't beat it! The condo is in a great, central location in Gulf Shores. The traffic light in front of the condo makes crossing the street to the beach so easy. Feels very clean and safe. Comes stocked with everything you would need: pots, pans, linens, towels, etc. We recommend Cosmos Restaurant in Orange Beach! Hope to be back soon!

Randy and Lisa provide a very welcoming, comfortable vacation home. Everything was spotless and well-maintained. The week of October 22-29 is a very good week to spend in Gulf Shores as there are very few vacationers. Restaurants that we recommend are : Steamers, Oyster House and Bubba's. Thanks again to Randy and Lisa for the nice accomodations.

We had a wonderful anniversary trip to Gulf Shores Oct 16-22, 2011. This condo was nicely furnished, clean, and had everything we needed for our stay. The bed was comfortable and the sheets, towels, etc., were very nice also. Everything is clean and the kitchen has all the items needed to prepare a meal. There are several excellent restaurants within walking distance and many, many more a short drive away. Our favorite is Mikey's. The walk to the beach takes maybe 5 minutes. There is a traffic light at the condo that allows easy crossing of the street, but the traffic is not a problem anyway. The beach access is paved and well lighted at night. The owner was quick to respond and gave us all info needed to contact him if needed. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this condo rental.
Owner response:Our condo is directly across the street from the beach and we have timed it at 3 minutes from the front door to standing on the beach.

Good location and very well taken care of!

I was a little worried that the walk to the beach would be a hassle but it wasn't bad at all, even carrying beach chairs, bags, an umbrella, and a 10 month old, it was super easy! The condo was very clean and well-decorated, and they had everything you would need to be comfortable. The beds were really comfy too. They are so helpful and nice, and respond quickly if you have a question. Great people to rent from!
Owner response:We are located directly across the street from the beach. We even have a traffic light right there to walk across normally.

For our first trip to Gulf Shores we wanted a clean, nice, inexpensive condo close to the beach, the fishing pier, and plenty of seafood restaurants..we found it in this condo. From my first contact with Randy to the day we got home Randy was always extremely nice, friendly, and quick with information. My husband's main goal was to fish and eat seafood, Randy was able to tell us how close the pier was and give us great insight on some of the many seafood restaurants in the area. We loved it!!! The only bad thing...and it was due to the season, was that some of the souvenir stores were closed...but there is one right beside the condo that was open part of the time and we were able to get some thngs there. We love the area and the condo..if all goes well we'll be back next fall.
Recommended for:Romantic getaway, girls getaway.

Great place to stay, very clean and comfortable. The location was amazing, a short walk right across to the beach without being right in the middle of everything. Its perfect for a small family or just a couples getaway. The price was great and the owners where really nice. Everything went smoothly and our vacation was lots of fun. We will absolutely be coming back for another stay.

My wife and I stayed at the Gentle Winds for about a week, and we were very satisfied with our stay. The property was spotless and very well maintained. It had a great location; directly across the street from the beach and about 5 -10 minutes from all the local restaurants (can't go wrong with the Original Oyster House). Randy was extremely helpful; he was very easy to contact if needed and made sure we were taken care of, giving us directions to the local stores and attractions. He also suggested visiting the visitor's center and picking up some coupons, which was a great idea. Overall, we would recommend this condo to anyone on a budget that wants good, clean, quality accomodations. Great vacation!
Owner response:We have 6 or 7 restaurants that can be walked to within minutes. Many of the local flavor restaurants only take a couple of minutes by car to get to. Everything in Gulf Shores is close by.

I had the pleasure of visiting Gulf Shores and had a great experience! The condo sits across from sea n suds restaurant on East Beach blvd and the beach is in walking distance. I loved that our group was able to walk to most places especially the nights we decided to go out. The condo was extremely clean and well stocked! The furniture and decor was very comfortable, contemporary, and stylish. The things I disliked about our condo was that the bedroom had both beds in it, was the first room when you enter the condo, and had no door. It had a studio feel to it. The balcony faces north so you can't see the ocean however, there are two large high rise condo buildings across the street that would block the view regardless. My group still enjoyed the condo though! The owner was extremely helpful with any questions I had in booking the condo and prior to our arrival, we were supplied with a very useful information packet. He makes himself available and is very prompt with any replies or information requests. I appreciate that he handled everything very professionally while still ensuring a personal feel was maintained. The price of our stay was reasonable and fair. My group is from the Saint Louis area and the average expenses (gas, groceries, etc.) were average. I highly recommend the Oyster House, Cosmos, and Cafe Graze to eat. Our favorite place to go out to at night was the Pink Pony and The Hangout. Please do yourself a favor and take a walk on the beach on a clear night however, don't forget a flashlight. Seeing a jellyfish in the water or on the beach is a likely occurrence so beware. Overall, I truly enjoyed my experience and I believe my group did as well. I would recommend this condo to any family or to a group of friends. Groups of couples may want to evaluate the sleeping situation and decide what's best for them. In our situation, it didn't affect us much and we would definintely rent from the owners again.
Owner response:We appreciate this family for coming. A great review from her. Our condo is 1BR/1BA. She mentioned a studio feel but our bedroom has a 10' long hallway between it and the living room allowing privacy. Having 2 beds in the bedroom along with a sleeper sofa has allowed families of 4-6 to find an affordable condo for their vacation.
