About this property

Peaceful, Beach-front Escape in Orange Beach! 3/3 with pool and more!

If you are looking for a great place to escape, this unit is a perfect spot to enjoy the beauty of the Gulf’s white sand, sunrises & sunsets, dolphin sightings, surf and more! A one-mile strip of nature preserve neighboring WindDrift means the beach will never be congested and makes it a continually sought-after place to stay. Feel free to call me at 205-807-1449.

Inside the 3 bedroom, 3 bath corner unit, you’ll find a spacious layout with a great ocean view from the 5th floor balcony as well as views of the bay from other windows. Freshly painted and updated, this unit sleeps 8 comfortably and is well outfitted for guests. There is a fully equipped kitchen, dining table as well as breakfast bar with stools, wet bar and living room in one open area. The living room has a new sleeper sofa as well as new upholstered chairs, large mounted TV and a fireplace for our winter guests.

Bedrooms are the perfect place to unwind. The master bedroom has a king-sized bed with new mattress and linens, walk-in closet, attached bathroom with single vanity sink and a tub/shower combo. The second bedroom has a queen bed with new mattress and linens and a large closet. It is connected to a guest bathroom that can be entered through the room itself or through the main area. This full bath features a single vanity sink and tub/shower combo. The third bedroom features two twin beds and an attached bathroom with a shower. View of water from all windows/sliding glass doors in condo.

There is a full washer and dryer utility closet and a storage closet outside the front entrance where beach gear can be stored. There are several TVs and high speed Internet access keeps you connected (if you want to be)!

Amenities include a large outdoor pool. Guests can enjoy boating and fishing on Ole River, across the street, as well as two lighted tennis courts. Boat/jet ski slips are available.

Located between the Perdido Pass Bridge and the Florida-Alabama state line (where you’ll find famed “FloraBama”), across from Ono Island, WindDrift allows you to enjoy the closeness of restaurants, shopping, etc. while also enjoying the peacefulness of the open beach. It is also a low-density building (7 floors), which means less congestion for you. It’s simply a great place for families and friends to enjoy time together in a great location!
There are several great restaurants and grocery stores within a few miles from the unit, as well as marinas to take fishing trips or simply watch the boats come in each day. The Wharf, located on the intercoastal, features shopping restaurants, a 15-screen movie complex, 10,000-seat Amphitheater and the tallest ferris wheel in the Southeast. There are also several other family entertainment options with Waterville USA, putt-putt golf, go-carts, etc. In Foley, you’ll find Tanger Center Outlet where great deals can be found on clothing and other household items.

The pictures don’t do this place justice!

Before our stay I spoke with the owner and he was beyond friendly. He also checked in on us the day of arrival to make sure we did not need any assistance! We arrived late at night due to work then vehicle issues (around midnight was arrival). The directions were specific on the building, code, the air was already on, etc. In the listing it also states it is a short distance to the beach and it is a SHORT DISTANCE. One of my children can not walk far due to medical reasons and was able to walk independently down the ramp to our spot! For a parent with a child with medical needs this place really was a dream! The stand up shower was perfect for her as well! We are already looking for summer 2024 dates to stay again!

Comfortable and Cozy

This is a fantastic property! The building is definitely a little past its prime, but it delivers on everything advertised with notable hidden fees. When you purchase, there are hidden (not prohibitive) fees. You must buy $60 insurance or be prepared to put down a $15000 deposit. Parking also does not come with the unit and must be purchased for an extra $60/car. Everything else about the property was wonderful! Will look to stay here again.

Great, quiet, beach front property!

3 minute walk to the beach! Watch the dolphins every morning and evening from the balcony! Safe location. Parking lot is "gated" yet big enough for the visitors. Close enough to touristy activities yet still a relatively private beach. We are already planning more trips in the future!

Great beach condo

We had a great stay at this condo. The beach is fantastic, especially being next to an open space/natural area so there were fewer people. The condo had everything we needed, was very clean and comfortable. My kids loved the pool. The host was very responsive with the few questions I had. Highly recommend.

About the host

Hosted by Fletcher Brown

Host profile image
We purchased our first two bedroom, two bath Winddrift condo in 2007. We decided to invest in a bigger unit for our growing family this year! This is our "happy place"!!

Our original unit was also a rental property. Of the 25 reviews on VRBO, it had an overall rating of 4.8/5.

Why they chose this property

We love the fact that WindDrift is next to the nature preserve. It just seems like a more private part of the beach! We had a great experience with our first unit at WindDrift. Decided to stay in the building and upgrade units!

What makes this property unique

A few detailed reviews of our former Winddrift unit:

All around great condo!
This condo is the perfect location. It isn't very crowded and it has the shortest walk to beach ever! It's very spacious and has a beautiful view. I would highly recommend this condo to rent. Fletcher is very kind and it was a pleasure to book with him. My family and I will certainly be booking this condo in the future.

Fantastic Experience
I can't say enough about how accomodating Fletcher was through our booking process and stay in this condo. The condo is very nice and stocked with all you would need for an extended visit. The Wind Drift property as a whole is very well maintained (pool, boardwalk, etc). We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to book with Fletcher in the future.

Fantastic
We enjoyed Fletcher's condo! It was well kept and stocked with about anything you could need. Fletcher was friendly and helpful. Easy to reach with any questions. The photo's were a good representation of the property. I would recommend this unit and when we go back we will be looking to rent from Fletcher again!

Family Vacay
The condo was wonderful with a perfection location right on the beach. We are a family of 6 and our young children enjoyed the condo's balcony along with their own room. It was our home away from home and we didn't want to leave. The owner Fletcher Brown is awesome to work with. We are already looking to book the condo for our next vacation.

Wonderful second visit!
Once again, our family had a fabulous, relaxing vacation! Thank you so much for sharing your lovely, clean and well-appointed condo with us, Fletcher. As always, you make renting the condo a simple process. The kids have already asked which week we will be back next year!
