FAQ’s
• DO YOU REQUIRE A DEPOSIT?
No, we do not require a deposit. We have each guest agree to the online rental agreement when payment is made. The rental agreement is an agreement between the condo owner and guest that simply states that if the rental guest or one of his guest damages the condo that they will pay all damages in full. We do require $100.00 of your rent upfront to confirm your date. This is not a deposit and will not be returned. This amount is subtracted from your total rent due. Your remaining balance due must be paid in full 15 days prior to your arrival. Of course you always have the option of paying in full at the time of booking your reservation. Just let me know what you prefer.

• WHAT IF I NEED TO BRING TWO CARS?
As of June 2012, Gulf Shores Rentals (COA for Westwind) set a limit to the number of cars a guest can park in Westwind’s parking lot. One pass for a 1 bedroom unit, 2 passes maximum for a 2 bedroom unit and 3 maximum for a 3 bedroom unit. All cars without a Westwind parking pass could possibly be towed.

                    My husband and I had a wonderful time while in Gulf Shores. The condo we rented was just perfect for us, and met all of our needs. I truly miss mornings getting up and listening to the beach, and having my coffee. The beach access was just perfect. We will definitely try to come back again. The only problems we encountered was the lock box on the door. Probably needs to be replaced, as we could not get it to work before we left, which meant leaving the key on the table inside. Contacted the cleaning staff before leaving to let them know, other than that, everything was just great. Shiela & Randy Evansville, IN

                    Thank you so much for accomodating us on short notice. Most of all thank you for being up front about the fees. Stayed at 3 other properties on this trip with hidden fees until after you pay for your reservation. That is something I hate about traveling, but you were very informative about the fees before I completed my reservation. I would definitely recommend your property to others. And it was close to great restaurants and bars.

                    Recommended for: Tourists without a car, families with young children, families with teenagers.

                    Owner response: Thank you for your review. Honesty is always the best policy. That is why I always list my rates on the website so no one is ever surprised when invoiced. Please come back again when you have time to stay longer. Kristy

                    What a wonderful place to stay. The description and pictures do not do this condo justice -clean, accommodating, and breath taking view. We spent a great deal of time sitting on balcony and relaxing. I have already recommended to several friends . We will be booking again for next year very soon. Thanks Kristi for being so friendly.

                    Owner response: Thank you so much for the great review. I love the view from the balcony! So relaxing. I would love for you to share our website with all of your friends so they can come enoy some beach time for themselves. Thanks again! Kristy

                    Great place for a beach getaway! The condo was very clean and right on the beach. Great view from the balcony. One suggestion would be to relabel the knobs on the stove or to put a note saying which way to turn the knob for desired temperature. We do a lot of cooking on beach vacations and the knobs are bare. First night we almost burned dinner! Other than that we really enjoyed our stay here and would stay here again!!

                    Owner response: Thank you for the suggestion. I can honestly say I have not ever cooked anything at the beach so I have not paid attention to the knobs. I will get that handled. I too love the view from the balcony. Completely unobstructed. Thank you so much for coming down. Please come back again soon! Kristy

                    We had a great time in Gulf Shores! West beach is always our location of choice but this is the first time we stay beach side in a very long time. With small children, the condo was great. Just as described! The bunk beds worked out great for the kids. The elevator was right near us making the trips back and forth to the beach super easy! We loved the washer and dryer, definitely put that to good use. The pool was never crowed, even though it was a holiday weekend. So nice of you guys to keep a storage box of "beach gear" for guests to use! Easy access to restaurants and shops...our favorite is the Shrimp Basket! We would definitely stay here again. Thank you!!

                    Owner response: Thank you! I really enjoy Gulf Shores also. I think Westwind is perfect for families. The location is great and the view is even better! I too love the storage box. It is like a treasure chest. Always has something different everytime I look in it. I try to keep a few chairs, an umbrella and toys in there. Glad to hear thatothers enjoy that also. We replace the chairs in there a couple of times a year. Hope they were still in good shape when you were there. Daily use on the beach will rust them out very fast. Shrimp Basket is one of my favorite restaurants there also. All you can eat shrimp on Sundays. Cant beat that! Glad you had a great trip. Come back soon! Kristy

                    We were very satified with the property. It was in a good location, the beaches weren't too crowded and better than staying at a high rise because the beach was so close. It was very clean and looked just like the pictures on vrbo. I would like to stay here again and would recommend to anyone. I was also impressed with the owners on how polite and easy it was to book their condo.

                    Thanks Kristy and Randy for letting me and my family stay in your condo. Everything was good but I do wish I would've been told three of my five days staying there that the pool was going to be closed.

                    Owner response: Hi Tracey. The pool was closed? Why? I did not know about it or I could have called the Condo Owners Association to find out about it. Had I known I would have warned you. I always like to split my time between the beach and pool so I would have been disappointed too. Very sorry! Kristy

                    This condo was absolutely perfect for my girlfriends and I to have a nice getaway for several days! Pictures are exactly as it is in person and the balcony view is definitely oceanfront. We loved waking up in the mornings and being right where we intended to be. Condo location is perfect to needs of vacationers and a few short steps away from the beach to make a quick dash back for lunch each day. We had an awesome time and would definitely rent from Kristy again. Thank you for sharing your home away from home with us!

                    I would recommend this property for its loation, ease of parking, and elevator availability....but I would really like this to be "my little secret" so that it is always available when I need to to to Gulf Shores! The condo was just as the owners had described. Everything was there and available. The owners were concerned that everything was up to par. An important issue upon arrival was immediately handled. February is a quiet month if you are looking for respite. Restaurants are not busy and you can move about the area with ease. The view from the balcony was beautiful and do leave the patio door open so you hear the ocean when you are going to sleep and when you are waking up. I am missing it already!

                  Year Purchased: 2009

                  About the owner: Hello. Randy and I both love the beach and love to travel. We both had grown up traveling to the beach for family vacations. In the past few years, we found that coming down to Gulf Shores once or twice a year just wasn't enough. In April 2009, we were contacted about purchasing a second condo in Westwind. My husband told me on a Wednesday night that a unit had became available to purchase. Thursday morning we let the realtor know we would love to purchase this unit. By Friday we were proud owners of 2 beautiful gulf front condos. We welcome each of our new guests/friends to enjoy our love for the beach here at Westwind in beautiful Gulf Shores, Alabama. Can't wait to hear from you!
