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.

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.

We love hearing this! So glad you and your friends had a great post-divorce girls’ weekend — sounds like the perfect way to recharge! We're happy everyone was comfortable and enjoyed the location. Thanks so much for the recommendation, and we’d love to have you back anytime!
The kitchen was well stocked, but some dishes were not completely clean. The overall cleanliness of the condo could have been better.

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!
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.

The condo was great for our family! We had a wonderful time! It was in a great location that was not very crowded!
Great condo right on the beach! It was very clean and had everything we needed. The only negative comment I have is that the toilet paper holder was broken and the closet door to the washer and dryer was broken but still
usable
This is a great condo! Clean and well equipped. My friend who goes to the beach often said it's now on her list instead of some of the others she has always used. I prefer the smaller buildings. Easier beach access. We loved it! Will definitely stay again.

Great location, quite, right on the beach. Rooms very spacious. Well kept and clean. Only draw back was shortage on necessary supplies. Only one trash bag, and one roll of t-paper per bathroom. Wifi wasn't working first night and unable to contact management until after weekend. Overall great place.

Thank you for choosing Wind Drift 102SE for your Spring Break Getaway. We supply each guest with a starter kit that includes one roll of toilet paper per bathroom, a small bar of soap for every sink and shower, one trash bag liner per trash can, one roll of paper towels in the kitchen, two dish tabs for dishwasher, dish soap, and sponge. This information is also included in our rental agreement. We will investigate why you cannot reach anyone, as our team is available 24 hours daily. Thank you again for reviewing your stay.

Everything was excellent with just one issue. Balcony door in living room locked but would not unlock. We used the balcony entrance in MBed room. Will be staying again

Hi Ronnie,
Thank you for taking the time to review your stay at Wind Drift 102SE. We wish you would have notified us about the balcony door as our team would have addressed it during your stay. However, thank you for this information, we will repair it and hope to have the opportunity to host your next beach vacation.
Everything was great except their was no extra toilet paper or no extra trash bags except what it came with. Very nice place otherwise!

Hi Amber! It states in the check-in information that the condo includes a starter pack kit, including one roll of toilet paper for each bathroom, one garbage bag, and one paper towel roll to get you started for your vacation. We are delighted you enjoyed the place and hope to host you again!
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.

My family and I enjoyed our stay at Wind Drift. We went the week of July 4th and the beach was not overcrowded nor were the elevators. 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.

The location was very good. However, the condo was not clean. There was mold in the bathroom. Mold is the bathroom fan and light. And the toilet seat in guest bathroom was broken. Lights and fans were dirty. And furniture was not dusted

Thank you again for your patience and loyalty and have a great day.
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!!!
