We were very pleased that there was a manager on the premises 24 hours a day. Elizabeth, in particular, was especially helpful and attentive. They responded to our needs promptly. Check-in was a breeze, and baggage carts are available at no charge for moving all of your belongings in one trip. On-site security is provided. We were immediately impressed with our condo, especially the view. We ate breakfast on the balcony every morning. The furnishings were modern and comfortable, there was plenty of closet and drawer space, and more than enough of full-size bath towels. The bathroom, although small, was clean, and the shower was good and strong. Although there is a cover for one (and a hole in the wall for one), there is no exhaust fan. We mentioned this to management. One light fixture did not work, and maintenance was unable to repair it during our stay. But there was plenty of other light, so it was not missed. Top-notch TVs in the living room and the bedroom. The living room featured a DVD player with a number of DVDs, and there were several books on the shelf. The kitchen was fully-stocked with glassware, flatware, and dishes, along with a coffeemaker, toaster, and microwave, along with stainless appliances. Tucked away in a closet were an ironing board and iron. The bedroom, although not especially spacious, was comfortable. Island Winds East could not be more centrally located. There were shops and restaurants within walking distance. (We strongly recommend The Steamer Baked Oyster Bar, Fisher's (for fine dining), and the Original Oyster House.) And there were a number of attractions within driving distance that we took advantage of, including the Pensacola Naval Air Station Museum of Aviation, the Gulf Coast Zoo, and the USS Alabama. The private beach was terrific. A swimming pool and two barbeque grills were also on site.
