This condo is extremely well kept, clean and has everything you need for a beach vacation. The view from the patio is very nice and this has a great beach and pool area. We have stayed at various locations and numerous condo's in the past and this is one of the nicest we have encountered. Dottie was so very helpful in answering all my questions and working with on on our arrival time. I definitely recommend this property.

My husband and I just returned from spending a wonderful month at Tradewinds. The unit is just as described and even better. Nice, comfortable furniture and clean condo. The views are just fabulous and the location of Tradewinds is perfect. Dottie was great to work with and we hope this is just the first of many visits to Tradewinds.

Dottie's condo was awesome. She was very helpful answering my questions and even called us the first day we were there to make sure everything was okay in the condo. That was very nice of her to do that. We had a great time there. The condo had a beautiful view of the beach. Had everything we needed just like the comfort of our own home. We had two 14 year old girls with us, they loved the indoor outdoor pool area. Walking distance to Adventure Island and alot of restuarants. I highly recommend this condo to anyone. We will for sure go back to this condo. Thanks so much for sharing your little piece of heaven with us.

This absolutely gorgeous condo was just perfect for my family!!!!. We stayed June 8-14th 2011. This condo has the most gorgeous DIRECT GULF FRONT view!!! We ate breakfast on the large balcony every day and looked out onto the beautiful water and stunning white sand beach and saw dolphins almost every day!. This condo is beautifully decorated and has everything you need for your vacation. Tradewinds is a fabulous complex--perfectly located and close to everything, small so the beach is not crowded, the pool is fantastic and the elevators are super fast! Dottie was just wonderful to work with and we had an amazing vacation! You will not be disappointed with this condo. We cant wait to go back!!!!! Thanks again!!!!

We stayed in Tradewinds 702 over a long weekend in May. Dottie was wonderful to work with, very helpful answering questions about activites, etc., and the check-in/check-out process was easy to follow. The condo is in great shape, was more well-equipped than we had imagined, good-sized balcony, direct beach access and fabulous view! Our 5-year-old granddaughter loved the bunk beds and the pool. We found the complex to be well maintained and liked the family atmosphere. We plan to be back and will certainly recommend to others.

Dottie, Thank you so much for making your beautiful place available! My daughters and I absolutely loved your condo. Having not been to the beach in about 10 years, when I stepped out on the balcony and saw the awesome view of the beach, I could barely hold back the tears. It was just stunning! The kitchen was so well equipped, I felt I was at home. Everything was so clean and neat and I just felt really good about staying there. Your condo allowed for some wonderful memories that my daughters and I will recall for years to come. I hope to get back to the beach again soon and I will definitely make a stay at your condo a priority.

We stayed 3 nights in Jan 2010. The condo was in excellent condition and just as described. It was perfect for our family of four. My kids loved the bunk beds and the video library...what a great idea! I loved that Mrs. Dottie made it so easy to book the rental and she made sure we were taken care of. We definitely recommend this condo!

Mr & Mrs. Clarke, thank you so much for sharing your little piece of heaven with us. This was the second time we rented from you and cant wait for the next time. The view is beautiful, condo was very clean and comfy, my kids loved the indoor/outdoor pool. Location is convenient to dining and shopping. Let me suggest 'Sea and Suds' in Gulf Shores. Great place for casual seafood. Thanks again, it was great

8/10/09 Tradewinds condo 702 is a perfect place to stay. I will definitely stay in this unit again when I make it back to Orange Beach. The condo was very clean and decorated nicely. It provided everything you would need for a home away from home. The view is perfect. The area was very family oriented. The Clarkes were so easy to work with. I highly recommend this unit.

Three ladies just spent May 13-18 at Allen/Dottie's condo. It was perfect for us; very convenient. It was so clean and pretty and the view was amazing. The weather was not the best this time but we plan to go back. Dottie was so easy to work with and made us feel at home. Very gracious.

This past week was our second visit to Tradewinds #702 and we wouldn't consider staying anywhere else in Orange Beach. The view of the ocean and beach from this unit is absolutely breathtaking and renting from Allen & Dottie was a very positive experience. You won't regret any part of the trip if you stay in this unit.

Wow!! We really loved this condo and Tradewinds. The Condo complex, the pool and the beach was not very crowded. Tradewinds is very well kept. This particular room had an awesome front view of the ocean from the balcony it also overlooked the pool so you can see others in your party swimming. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS CONDO and Tradewinds.

We stayed at Allen and Dottie's place from April 8-13, 2007 and had an absolutely wonderful time! It was so clean and the view was breathtaking! I would highly recommend this condo to others. We were hindered by some cold weather, but were easily able to fill our time by going to the awesome zoo in Gulf Shores and to the Naval Air Station/Naval Aviation museum in Pensacola, FL, only 25 minutes away! Our three little girls loved the ocean and sand, but especially loved the swim through indoor/outdoor pool that is kept nice and warm! We swam when it was only 50 degrees out! Thanks so much for a great vacation destination!

My family of four stayed at Trade Winds #702 the week of June 17, 2006. The condo is decorated very nice. It is cozy and comfortable. The view is great from the balcony and the beach was perfect. The pool is great with the swim through indoor/outdoor option. The owners were easy to work with. We would stay here again in the future.

Wow - what a wonderful week we had in your condo! We found it to be very clean and well furnished. We loved the balcony and it's view, and spent many memorable hours there. We're going to tell all of our Sho-Me State friends about it, and hope to make it a yearly tradition!

We needed a break before the upcoming holiday madness. Only spent three nights, but we will definitely return. The unit was extremely clean, well decorated and had beautiful views. We could see the sunrise from the balcony. The complex itself still has on-going repairs, but Unit 702 is complete.

What a wonderful condo! It was extremely clean, comfortable, and beautifully decorated. Everything was in great shape. I felt like I was in someone's home! I will definitely visit this condo in the near future! I highly recommend it for a couple or for a family with young children. The owners are wonderful to work with as well. I highly recommend this unit! I can't wait for my next trip down...
