The view was fantastic! The rooms were really nice, the beds were a little hard but it wasn’t bad. It was a safe location surrounded by places you could walk to get dinner, drinks and a fun night! We loved staying here!
Appliance need updating, comfortable beds, gorgeous view, great pool, saw dolphins everyday, enjoyed using the condos beach items, enjoyed the area and it was easy to get into the condo parking lot and close to activties and restaurants.
this was a beautiful place to stay, the condo was clean, well maintained and easily accessible. the kitchen had all the dishes and cooking implements we could need
Really cute condo. Great location! Our only complaint was the sofas were worn out. Middle sank down to sit or lay on. Also there wasn’t a can opener in the condo. We really enjoyed our stay!
The property was as expected,in the perfect location. Lots of places to walk to nearby The beach was beautiful. From the patio we watched dolphins play. Will stay again in the future.
Place was nice. Had washer problems & fridge problems. Ruined some things we had brought from grocery.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We appreciated staying in touch during your visit and are glad the appliance vendor was able to promptly repair the refrigerator. We also appreciate your cooperation in reaching a resolution and accepting compensation for the inconvenience experienced. Your comments have been shared with our property care team as we continue ensuring the home meets the standards our guests expect. We’d love the opportunity to welcome you back for another stay—this time without any hiccups.
Our first trip to the Gulf Shores and Island Winds West was just what we needed for the five of us! Having the ocean front view and direct beach access was key. The maintenance was on spot cleaning around the facility regularly and responded timely when we had laundry machine issues. We would definitely stay here again and recommend!
A little smaller than it appeared but handled all eight of us perfectly fine. Usually there are umbrellas and chairs already in condo for guest use so we had to buy those, we left them for the next guests to enjoy. The wagon that was there was an awesome touch, made it easy to bring stuff back and forth to the beach. Overall it was a wonderful place and a very short walk to Hangout and Pink Pony. We highly recommend for a family.
This was a great vacation for my family. We had 10 people, plenty of space and everything was great. We brought an air bed, knowing that all pull out couches suck, and everyone was happy. So easy to come and go from the condo to the beach to the pool. The beach was very nice, white sand, clear water, no problems at all. I would book it again.

Thank you for the amazing review of our condo! We are glad to hear your family enjoyed the spacious condo and the views! We wanted to let future guests know that this sleeper sofa has been specially chosen by the owners to be a great addition to the living room as their family uses it when they come down! For additional comfort, the sleeper sofa even has an additional mattress topper. It is the perfect spot to host a movie night in the living room! We are pleased that you enjoyed your stay at our condo and thank you for choosing Beach Getaways!
