  This was our first experience as snowbirds.......What a complete dream vacation.....owners were dreams to work with, condo was a dream.....very clean on our arrival and perfectly as described with everything you could imagine in the kitchen to boot! Sunsets were breath-taking. Was a very pleasurable experience....some of the nicest people live and work in this area. Experienced our first Mardi Gras parade, too. Shopping, movie theaters and eateries were wonderful. We hope to be back to Alabama again and again!

  Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, girls getaway, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

  Owner response: Dear Susan, We are so glad you had a great time. Keep us in mind for any future travel plans to the Gulf Coast. Regards, John & Tina

  This was our first trip to the Orange Beach area. Our family had a really great time staying in this condo. The unit was as described in the listing, very clean and comfortable for 2 adults and 2 small children. The balcony views were amazing and we loved the very short walk to the beach. The smaller complex was exactly what we were looking for, and would definitely consider staying here again. The owners were a pleasure to work with, too. Thanks for sharing your vacation home with us!!

  Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, romantic getaway.

  We enjoyed your condo so much! The Adults & Kids had a wonderful time. We are sure to remember this for a lifetime. The oil spill was not so horrible but I wish the beach could have been better. All in all, we had a great time. Hope to come back again next year. Our Stay: July 1 - July 5, 2010 The Taylors, Nellie, Alene, Lynn, Ada, Hudson & Bella

  Good evening, We wanted to let you know that we had a great vacation. Your place was so nice. We loved it! The oil arrived Friday night, but the boys got to swim on Thursday and Friday. We loved sitting on the balcony. We hope to stay there once again. Thanks for all you did to accomodate our family. Have a blessed evening. Donna

  John and Tina, My family and I just returned from our mini vacation at your condo. We had a great time. Your condo was very comfortable. We loved that it was one of the end units and that the complex is small. Cute the way it is snuggled between two high-rise complexes. We never heard any of the neighbors or outside noise. Location was great for getting groceries and lots of restarurants to choose from. Only problem we experienced was that the remote control for the TV in the living room did not work. Looks like it was dropped at one time and has been taped up, but now the batteries really don't stay in properly, so it wouldn't work. That was somewhat of an inconvience. We hope to get away again in the beginning of August. Depending on the horrible oil spill situtation, we may be contacting you again for another stay at your place. Thanks. Tammy

  Dear John and Tina, Thank you so much for making our short visit stress free. The entire process was very simple and you always replied to my emails promptly. Again, my husband is in the military,and out of town. I took my son for a short visit to get his mind off "dad" being gone. We went with another mom and her son. We were all thrilled with the condo!! It was perfect, clean and well stocked with everything we needed. The pictures do not do it justice. Location was great and the beach was just steps away. Wouldn't want to stay any where else! Thanks again! God Bless! Renee and Zane Allison and Will

  John and Tina, Well, I'm finally getting a chance to write you back after returning from out vacation and wanted to let you know we had a great time on our vacation in your condo. I was very impressed at how well stocked the kitchen was. It had enough pots, pans, and dishes that I could prepare meals all day and not have to wash dishes after each meal. I could wait to run the dishwasher just once a day. We also had fun working on one of the puzzles we discovered in the drawer of the entertainment console. We had a wonderful time at the beach. The water was great, no jellyfish!! Someone told us about the Navel Aviation Museum and we thoroughly enjoyed that visit. Unfortunately, I couldn't get my crew up in time to see the Blue Angels practicing. Maybe next time! We will certainly keep your condo in mind if and when we take another vacation to Orange Beach again. Thanks, Sheryl Taylor and Family

  Hey Tina - Just wanted to let you know that we really enjoyed staying at your condo at the Four Winds. It was so clean and so very comfortable! The beds were awesome! And the Four Winds was convenient to everything, just like I remembered from a previous stay there in a different unit. My mother did end up going with us and she had a great time - she was very comfortable in the twin bed, also. We all had a wonderful time - thank you so much for sharing your condo with us!

  I discovered FourWinds several years ago when I took my two daughters and three grandchildren there. Everyone absolutely loved it. At your complex we did not have to wait on the elevators, the pool area was not crowded, and the beach was pristine. I will be happy to forward your condo information to anyone who asks or I should say... only to those whom we know would be respectful of your property.
