The condo was clean. The host is very responsive to texts. The ocean view is perfect. The pool is nice. The kitchen has plenty of dishes and utensils. The condo itself needs some attention. The dishwasher didn't work. The furnishings are shabby and need replaced.. The drain in the master bath shower needs opened up as do all of the bathroom sinks. Very slow drainage . The host called and ask if a realtor could show the condo while we were there and we declined although, we believe they did come in because the hall bathroom door that we kept shut and locked during our stay was open when we returned that day. I would not reserve this condo again.

Great location right on the beach. The condo is large and comfortable for a family of 6. Close to restaurants and shopping, but on a quieter part of the beach which makes it nice. We will return.

Great Stay

The property was as described, good location, quiet, beach was not overly busy. The space was good and clean, bathrooms are a little dated and could be updated. View from the balcony was great for watching the ocean and beach.

Good for a quick trip-close to Florabama

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was perfect for our group of 8 for Mullet Toss weekend. Only 1 mile from Florabama. Dishwasher kept falling out from under the counter though.

Beach Trip 2025

We loved the location and distance to get to the beach. We liked the set up of the condo and the view from the balcony. The breaker blowing every night around 10:56 and off and on during the day was a slight problem. Not being able to wash clothes and towels was an inconvenience. The staff was very good about getting issues looked at and bringing us clean towels to use. We did appreciate that. Looking forward to coming back next summer. Thanks for everything!

Love Winddrift

This is my 4th time to rent from wind drift. It is a smaller complex which we like. The condo was a bit dated but they had just added brand new living room furniture which was great. It was a good value for the money and we would stay at the condo again. The chair rental people are great. They put them up at 7 and down at 6. We were very thankful to been able to go to the beach at this time. It was great!

Rough around the edges

This property was clean. The beds were moderately comfortable. The couches were comfortable. However, there was mold on the shower curtain, mold growing on the ceiling, missing baseboards, peeling paint, poor paint jobs, and shoddy work all around-closet doors off the rails, upside down drawers and missing stick pulls on the door blinds. Not a horrible place to stay, but if you’re looking for “super nice” keep looking.

I love the location

I love the location, just over bridge away from most of the beach traffic. Parking lot is very limited and difficult to have room for my truck to park at times. Kitchen was roomy and well stocked. Mattresses and couches are in need of replacing but not totally worn out. Twin beds did not have flat sheets, just comforter. Each bedroom (3) had direct access to a bathroom, that was great for all of us. I would stay here again! It was clean and communication was easy.

The only down side was we were excited this complex had access to boat ramp across street. We brought our boat but we’re unable to use this facility had to store in another location which was a inconvenience. But we definitely will stay at Win Drift again.

Beautiful!

Plenty of room for our extended family group! The view was beautiful and this area of the beach is not crowded. State park right next door. The property managers at Wind Drift were extra helpful! Would recommend!!! The only issue was a leaky shower in the master bathroom. Liquid Life informed us they would send someone to fix on the first day and it was never resolved. Other than that, wonderful place!
