Beautiful granite countertops and gorgeous backsplash and tons of cookware are a chefs dream. For those who prefer to eat out, several restaurants are within walking distance. Enjoy both morning coffee and afternoon wine as you watch breathtaking sunrises and sunsets on your private Gulf front balcony. Delight in thrilling resort amenities including a beachfront pool with a large, surrounding sundeck and an onsite fitness facility with a view of the Gulf of Mexico. The kids will love splashing and playing in the shallow water of the kiddie pool. When you are not dining at one of the many incredible restaurants in Gulf Shores, Alabama, enjoy a family cookout around the community barbecue grills and outdoor picnic area. Stroll down the private beach boardwalk at Island Winds West in Gulf Shores and sink your toes into the sand. Soak up the warmth of the Alabama sunshine while you wade in the mild, salty waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Rinse off under the outdoor showers on the boardwalk before heading back to your vacation condo. Book beautiful Island Winds West 480 today and make memories that will last a lifetime!

What makes this property unique
Corner unit is so nice! Complex is in a popular area but beach is not crowded because no high rises are around this complex.
