Perfect for Spring Break

It was the kids spring break, and it was a perfect location to walk to several things such as the public volleyball courts for the kids, The Hangout, and our FAVORITE Bahama Bobs! The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars was due to the master sheets…they were a bit rough feeling. Otherwise, everything was perfect!

Great location/Terrible Parking

Parking is less than adequate. Anyone needing handicapped parking would be out of luck. We were told at the office that we would have to go find public parking and walk back. We ended up with a giant door ding. There were some private garages that looked like they were opened for guests the 2nd night of our stay, but that was never offered to us. The condo was good, but the parking issue is enough to make us look for a different location next time.

Winds West 278

Property was accurately described. Great location, close to a lot of stuff. The staff was friendly and helpful. I would leave a 5 star review except for 2 issues. Parking is in short supply and you may be required to park in the public parking lot a block away. The internet is dial-up slow. Although when I checked out I was told I could have had the password to my units WiFi, this May have fixed the problem. Since I wasn’t given a password at check in I assumed it was off limits, I connected to one of the many open connections available in the building. All I all a great experience and I will recommend this place to my friends visiting Gulfshores.
