About this property

Wind Drift 102SE

Summary:

Come and relax at our beautiful beachfront condo at Wind Drift in Orange Beach, Alabama.



The Space:

The perfect setting for a quiet, family getaway. This condo has a perfect view that makes you feel like you are floating just above the Gulf. Plus the location is isolated enough that you can feel like you are getting away from it all, but still be in the heart of Orange Beach. The infamous Florabama Lounge is right down the road and world class restaurants surround you. This is truly a fantastic setting in a great complex.



You will love the views in this two bedroom condo in Orange Beach. This 2 bedroom, 2 bath condo sits on 1st floor, just above the dunes, with a clear view of the Gulf of Mexico and boasts more than 1,000 square feet of space.



The unit sleeps up to 7 with a king in the master bedroom, a full and a twin bed in the second bedroom, plus a sleeper sofa in the living room. Interior appointments include washer and dryer, 3 televisions, a stereo, plus high-end cotton linens.



Complex Amenities: Two outdoor pools and three lighted tennis courts.



Wind Drift offers first come, first served docking and boat and trailer storage across the street from the beach, at the condo's own dock. This is a very convenient amenity as most complexes don't allow you to store your boat or trailer. At Wind Drift it's welcomed, allowed, and convenient for a fee of $50/per day and a $50 transaction fee paid directly to them*. *This fee can change at anytime, without notice. Please note that you must register in advance with Waves Property Management. During prime season it's best to make arrangements as early as possible, in advance of your stay. They have limited space so it's available on a first-come, first-served basis. The boat slips are located across the street on Old River, the waterway between the condo and Ono Island.



*Parking is limited to two (2) cars per unit. You will be required to purchase your parking pass(es) in advance directly from Wind Drift (we will email you instructions 10-days prior to arrival). As of 4/1/26 Wind Drift is charging:

• 10-day rate: $62.36

• 10-14 day rate: $112

• 31-day rate: $120

*This price can change at any time, without notice. 



**Please note that this is a non-smoking complex. No smoking allowed inside or on balconies, nor any common area at Wind Drift.**



This is your home-away-from-home with warmer weather and better views. So, stop searching and book your vacation today.



**Please note that exterior construction work will be taking place at Wind Drift from 8am – dusk through end of March 2026* (*weather permitting). Rent rates have already been discounted to reflect the construction and noise.**

Perfect location, the beach wasn’t busy and was easy to access. Kudos to the cleaning crew! It was a very clean unit, linens and towels smelled fresh and everything was in place. The owners provided boogie boards which the kids loved. We didn’t utilize them this time but they also provided games in the living room. The lack of a deadbolt on the front door was quite alarming. We had to check it from the outside once we realized it doesn’t automatically lock upon closing. Overall, the condo buildings seem pretty well kept for being dated.I would return but would choose a different unit that not everyone with the code could access.

Thank you for your detailed review! We’re glad you enjoyed the perfect location, easy beach access, and appreciated the cleanliness, fresh linens, and extras like boogie boards and games. Regarding the front door, the unit does have a deadbolt, but the bypass had been turned in the wrong direction, which prevented the door from locking properly. We wish you had notified us during your stay so we could have assisted and ensured it was secure. We appreciate your feedback and hope to host you again in the future!

Fun Times at Wind Drift

We enjoyed our Spring Break at this property and loved the location. The condo was well appointed with comfy beds, well-stocked kitchen and just a walk to the beach. We were aware of the work being done although they did start early every morning before 7. The workers were friendly and tried to be as unobtrusive as possible. We will be back.

Family fishing trip at the beach

We planned a family fishing trip at Orange Beach. This condo location was great and close to everywhere we wanted to be. Will book again. Only draw back was no code for the gate when we arrived. However, our booking manager was able to work it and we received a code soon afterwards. Our 10 yr old son loved it! The beach was not flooded with people and so close to the room.

It is very convenient to restaurants and stores. When sitting on the balcony, it feels like you are sitting on the beach. Room was equipped with everything we needed including an ice maker.

Evacuation

During our stay the condo was clean and easy check in process. During our stay they were drilling on the concrete underneath us. Management failed to inform us and it was also unpermited work being done. Drilling and vibrating such an unbearable noise waking up my 1 year old. They told me they would give me a credit of $125 and i've not seen confirmation of that. As a result of the drilling the building was evacuated due to potentional collapse. While they set up another place to stay. My family and i were too shook up to stay and we drove home that night. I see now they have deemed the building safe after saying potential collapse. Due to circumstances I wouldn't feel safe to stay again.

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us regarding your recent vacation. As per our conversation, we want to apologize for the experience you had. We understand that it was a very frightening situation, and it's not something we want our guests to encounter while staying with us. We would like to mention that we manage only one condo in the building, and we were not aware of the work being done until you informed us. The building was evacuated as a safety measure because the company doing the work had an issue with the permit. However, we want to assure you that the problem has now been resolved. We understand your frustration, and our management team's goal was to make things right with you by issuing the refund you requested.

Bad Experience

The property was under construction. You had to use opposite doors and go around often. The trash room to throw trash was disgusting. We called the property manager had to leave messages. Parking was horrible you paid $60 per pass and had to park across the street. Just so poor. Pool was dirty. Our condo stayed hot we were miserable at night. Did get a small credit but for the price I paid should have been more. The garbage disposal didn’t work. Was very disappointing!!!
