Overall, the stay was good. The unit is just dated. It's been a long time since we stayed somewhere that didn't have USB ports throughout the unit for charging electronics. Also, the 4 chairs on the balcony were awful. Two were cracked and could not be used, and the other two were so rusted, you couldn't sit in them without using something to cover the rust. We feel, for the money paid, the amenities would be better. For less than 200-300, a few lamps with USB's and some new outdoor chairs/table could be purchased for this unit and it would be great. We asked the front desk if any charging blocks were available to purchase in their little shop and was told no....Dollar General would have them. Being the EMA Director for our county, it required us to leave the condo shortly after arrival and go to 3 different locations to locate the proper charging blocks. It was just a little aggravating and had we known up front, we could have made sure to bring charging blocks. As for the chairs on the balcony.....it was just a little disheartening not being able to sit on the balcony early morning or evenings and enjoy sunrises and sunsets together.

The room was ok. It was a little dated but comfortable. There was mold on the bathroom ceiling. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. The washer & dryer worked well. The location & view were fantastic. I did leave one thing & tried to contact the office. They did give us the number for the office but unfortunately the number would never connect. Overall it was good for a long weekend.

Property was OK

While Gulf Shores is a great family vacation destination, our stay in this unit was just 'ok', good location-good view. However, the unit felt a little dingy. It's a non-smoking unit and we are not smokers so not a problem, but upon entering the unit it smelled and felt as if smokers had been there. The renters next to us frequently smoked on their balcony, this may have been part of it. Everything was in working order but as mentioned felt and looked dated and dirty. Bathroom and Kitchen were small and dark and kind of dirty/old. A good cleaning with attention to detail would help freshen the place up. Other than that it served it's purpose. You get what you pay for, and this was a last minute booking on a budget- so not complaining, just sayin'. Our stay was booked through Brett Robinson Vacations, they were helpful and great to work with. Would consider staying at another BR location, just not Island Winds East.

We were very excited to stay at the beach! The unit was clean and we loved having a washer/dryer. The newly remodeled kitchen and bathroom were beautiful. The bedroom “area” was awful and really took away from our vacation. Old spring mattress and thin bedding destroyed many a night’s sleep for my husband and me. A super easy fix and will hopefully be heeded by the owners. There was a nice variety of pillows. The view and location were GREAT! The balcony furniture belonged in a landfill…unacceptable. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking and eating in but you do have to bring in everything to cook including the salt & pepper so be prepared. Great view of the fireworks on the pier and close to a bunch of great restaurants. Beach was beautiful and it was easy to get on and off. Pool at Island Wind East was great and we were able to enjoy it after July 4th. Lots of families, good vibes! Be aware that this unit is at the elevators and the bedroom wall with the window is right there…super noisy July 3-5. I wish we had known this before booking. If the owners take care of the bedroom situation and the balcony furniture (and provide ear plugs!) this is a 5 star rental. In the current state giving it a 3. Location of the condo in the area is great…walkable to everything. We only took the car to get groceries!

This condo needs to be updated! The cabinets and bathroom is old! The property itself was okay.

Renting it was easy and convenient but needs some work on the condo itself. Very old and outdated!

The view was spectacular but I’m not sure who takes care of the cleaning because the place was not clean when we arrived. There was standing water in the dishwasher, the was spit from toothpaste in the bathroom on the mirror and the refrigerator handles. It is such a cute place and I’m sorry for having to write this review. The cabinets smell so musty that you can smell it on the dishes provided.

Just ok...

Most important... view was amazing and good location to some restaurants within walking distance. That's where the pluses stop. Condo was musty, bathroom was small, no vanity space at all. No length mirror. Bed was next to the exterior hall by the elevator that had a very bright light. Had to get up and hang the shower curtain over the flimsey blind to get some sleep. Come on guys... a $20 blackout curtain is not a big expense. Furniture, kitchen cabinets, appliances and bathroom in dire need of updating. Overall not, not terrible, but probably would not stay here's again without some updating.

Perfect Get-a-way!

At the last minute we decided to go to Gulf Shores for the 45th Annual Shrimp Festival. After numerous hours of unsuccessful searching for accommodations within walking distance to the festival, we opted to rent something close to the shuttle pick-up area. The morning I finally decided to “settle” for something, I ran across HomeAway and found this condo. It was everything we wanted! I loved the tasteful and comfortable décor, the view from the 7th floor and the balcony seating, the new sliding glass doors, the comfy king-size bed and the quaint floor plan. The location could not have been better, even the location of the unit within the property is convenient. The kitchen is well supplied and featured a Crock pot! This was my first time to visit the beach in October and the weather, the accommodations…the whole TRIP was perfect!
