CONSTRUCTION NOTICE – PLEASE READ BEFORE BOOKING
All amenities, including pools and beach access, remain open. The building is undergoing upgrades through March 2026. Guests should expect noise from jackhammering, column repairs, dust, odors, scaffolding, and general construction activity. Rates are discounted for the inconvenience.

Experience Orange Beach at Wind Drift 708 SW, a 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom Gulf-front condo that sleeps 6 guests. This top-floor (7th floor) beachfront vacation rental features uninterrupted ocean views from an oversized balcony, beautiful white interior with calm coastal décor, separate jetted tub in the primary bathroom (in addition to tub/shower combination), Keurig coffee maker, breakfast bar seating, dining table for 6, and direct Gulf-front positioning. The top-floor location provides the best views in the building with no noise from above.

SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS

Guest Bedroom: Queen bed, shared full bathroom with tub/shower combination (accessible from hallway)
Living Room: Queen sofa sleeper
Total Sleeping Capacity: 6 guests (King + Queen + Queen sleeper)

BATHROOMS
Primary Bathroom (Ensuite): Tub/shower combination PLUS separate jetted tub—perfect for soaking after beach days. Attached to primary bedroom with king bed.
Guest Bathroom (Shared/Hallway): Full bathroom with tub/shower combination, accessible from hallway adjacent to guest bedroom with queen bed.
The separate jetted tub in the primary bathroom is a standout luxury feature—unwind in the spa-like tub after a day exploring Orange Beach.

LIVING SPACES
The bright, open living area features a beautiful white interior with calm, clean coastal décor. Floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors frame direct Gulf views and provide access to the oversized balcony. Comfortable seating includes a queen sofa sleeper and additional seating—plenty of room for families to gather.
The top-floor (7th floor) location means uninterrupted ocean views with no noise from above. You're at the highest point in the building with panoramic Gulf vistas.

DINING AREA

KITCHEN
The fully equipped kitchen features white cabinetry, modern appliances, complete cookware and dishes for 6+ guests, Keurig coffee maker (bring your favorite K-cups), and a breakfast bar with seating. The open layout keeps cooks connected to family in the living and dining areas.

OVERSIZED BALCONY
Your oversized Gulf-front balcony offers direct beachfront views from the top floor. Watch dolphins play, enjoy morning coffee with sunrise views, and gather for evening cocktails as the sun sets over the Gulf.

WIND DRIFT AMENITIES
Wind Drift isn't your typical Orange Beach property. This complex occupies one of the most coveted stretches on the Alabama coast—nestled between the Gulf of Mexico and Old River, bordered by a state park to the west. Translation: unobstructed sunset views, uncrowded beaches, and a location you can't replicate.
The dual-waterfront setup means you're not choosing between beach life and boating access—you're getting both. First-come boat slips with direct river access across the street on Old River. A fishing pier where the catches are as good as the views. Trailer and watercraft storage for serious boaters. Two outdoor community pools with sundecks—one Gulf-front, one bayside. Tennis and pickleball courts for active guests.

ORANGE BEACH DINING & ATTRACTIONS
Orange Beach offers an exceptional dining scene within walking distance or a short drive. Local favorites include Flora-Bama Lounge for live music and legendary Bushwackers, The Gulf for waterfront dining in repurposed shipping containers, Zeke's Restaurant for fresh seafood, Doc's Seafood Shack for fried Gulf catches, Louisiana Lagniappe for upscale Creole cuisine, Cosmo's Restaurant for diverse menu options, GTs On The Bay for bayfront views, LuLu's for family-friendly atmosphere with entertainment, and The Hangout for beachfront casual dining.
Orange Beach has earned impressive national recognition. Condé Nast Traveler named it a top 10 beach in the United States for 2026. The Orange Beach Festival of Art won USA Today's #1 Best Arts Festival in the nation for 2025. The Hugh S. Branyon Backcountry Trail earned the #1 Best Recreational Trail in the U.S. for three consecutive years (2023-2025). USA Today also recognized Orange Beach with #7 Best Small Town Food Scene in 2024.

Place was spotless and beautiful. Grounds were great and pool & beach access were perfect. We stayed in West this time and East a few months back. We are already figuring out when to come back to either one of these units next year. I can not recommend highly enough.

We just took a short trip to the beach from the Birmingham AL area. The condo was perfect. A beautiful gulf front view, close to everything but just far enough away for peace and quiet!

Spring Break Mother Daughter Trip

I loved that there was no check-in process. We just went to our room and used the code to get in. NO HASSLES! The parking passes were ready to put in our car and we were ready to relax. The condo was just as pictured and the décor was clean and tranquil. Another plus is that you are right on the beach; no long boardwalk to get down to the beach. We had a very relaxing trip with beach time, shopping, and great eating. Make sure you eat at the Original Oyster House and I suggest the peanut butter pie for dessert. The condo is the perfect distance to grocery stores, restaurants, and shopping outlets.

Great condo and location

We love Wind Drift and have stayed in several units there. This one was very clean, unlike others we’ve stayed in. It was well-appointed with linens, dishes, and lots of comfortable seating in the living room. The reason for only three stars is that both beds are horrible. If I rent a place to sleep, I expect nice beds that are comfortable. We had to get a memory foam mattress pad to be able to sleep there. The only other complaint is that the TVs aren’t on the condo WiFi so we couldn’t cast our devices or get to a menu to log into Netflix or Hulu. When I inquired about this, I was told to contact the cable company. It’s not my account so I didn’t waste an hour on hold to see if they could do anything.

Perfect

My daughter and I reserved Wind Drift #708 for our annual mother/daughter weekend getaway. Upon arrival, I was impressed with the cleanliness. The view is welcoming. The condo is spacious and well stocked. Our only disappointment was that we could not stay longer. My daughter and I are already discussing reserving the same condo for out getaway next year.
