Overall great

Overall, this was a great place to stay at an even better location. The only downside was the tub drain was a little slow/clogged but otherwise it was awesome and well worth the money!

Always a perfect location

We have been staying in the Island wind east and west for 15 years now, perfect location and clean. Still in the process of updating the buildings, but overall, always a great time and experience.

Gulf Shores Getaway

Great location and just the right size for us. Easy, easy access to the beach and within walking distance of many restaurants. Wasn’t fond of the comforter/sheets, but that’s a minor issue. We will definitely look to book again!

Wonderful place

My husband and I really liked this property. The condo was exactly what we saw online. Check in process was super easy (I did not like that it was an actual key, wish it was a passcode). This property was also in walking distance to the Hangout and several other fun things, which is a plus for us! We are coming back in July for sure! Thanks for a great couple days!

Awesome trip to Gulf Shores!!! 🌴🌊☀️😎

We loved this condo! It was just the right size for the 2 of us! View is amazing from our top floor balcony!!! Easy to get to beach! Everyone was so nice! It was so close to shopping, eating and much more that we could walk. We will definitely stay here again! No complaints! The shower wouldn’t drain good at all. But my husband got it unclogged. No biggie! He also tightened up the door knob for you. That’s just him! Lol! 😊

Gulf Shores Spring Break

In my mind a one bedroom is a separate room with a door but you walk into the bedroom which has no door but leads straight into the hallway to the bathroom kitchen—I prefer a bedroom to have a door so that is my only complaint is misunderstanding the description—to me this is more of a studio with a door to the bathroom and exits only. It has a beautiful view of the ocean and ample beach front with a chair/umbrella service. It was very close within walking distance to the Pier, Hangout, shopping and other restaurants. It also had lots of parking which was nice—we never had a problem getting a place.

Just to let you know

The dishwasher was clogged and smelled outrageous. The cleaning people left dried food on stove knobs and sand left on sides of microwave and the dryer vent was so clogged we couldn't even clean it out. Dishes were dirty. You need new cleaning people

Will not stay here again

Booked this about 2 weeks prior. Read the reviews for 877. The view was the best thing about this place. Some issues stated in the reviews were, loud elevator. This is an UNDERSTATEMENT. Lack of linens and soap, no broom….at the beach!! We had 4 days of construction noise. Drilling, busting out pipe from 9 to 3 every day. Mgmt told us they could do ZERO to compensate us. ALL other properties they owned (look it up) were full and they would not offer a partial refund. FYI, this construction had been going on for 4 weeks PRIOR to our arrival. We were never notified. Its costs you $50 to park your car. Seriously!?! Bring all your necessities for coffee. Bring detergent if you plan on having clean towels and dryer sheets. They do offer 1 detergent pkg but you must use it when you wash their towels upon leaving. READ THE REVIEWS. Don’t book this!!!!

First Vacation In Years

My wife and I hadn't had a vacation for just us for many years and this was great. We had never been to Gulf Shores before and I was a little concerned about finding our way around. Everything worked out well. The only problem was that we had to leave.

Great quick trip to Gulf Shores

Great unit! Small, but clean. I would probably advertise it as a studio. Perfect for myself and my teenage daughter and her friend. I would stay here again in a heartbeat! Great location!

Almost perfect

This was not a large unit but it was perfect for us. It had a beautiful view. There was a nice clean kitchen, bathroom and washer and dryer. We didn’t need much more. My only complaint was the noise. You could hear the road noise pretty well and I was awoken by a very loud garbage truck at 3 am. I’m a light sleeper and don’t fall asleep fast so this was an inconvenience for me but may not be able issue for others. I would still consider staying again.

Loud and interrupted

We were scheduled to stay in Perdido but the location cancelled due to hurricane Sally. We were able to secure a stay in Island Winds West but after two days, we were placed under a mandatory evacuation. The front window of the condo was broken and would not close so we heard all the construction/ recovery workers EVERY time they walked by and waited for the elevator, which was often. We heard everything, traffic, guests/ kids, and workers. Two times we were visited by construction people asking to come inside and turn off our air conditioning to do work on the roof. They were supposed to come back and tell us when we could turn our air back on but NEVER returned. We did however have maintenance come to look at the window but we were asked to leave so it didn't matter anyway. We understand you cannot control the weather but we did not know there would be such busy noise and interruptions and we should have been told prior to booking, that this condo/ unit was still under repair.

Fair

We enjoyed our stay and it was perfect for 2 people. However, the dishes had food stuck to them in the cabinet, the AC filter was horrible and looked like it had not been changed in years, and the bedroom is next to the outside wall by the walk way. It would be nice to have darkening curtains, since that is the bedroom. We had to hang a bleach towel to make it darker to be able to sleep. Overall it was a wonder stay and we would good back.

Filthy

The floor was covered in sand and the toilet had a light pink/orange mold ring growing in it. I got out bleach wipes and washed all the knobs, surfaces, and cleaned the bathroom, swept the floor and ended up with 3 piles of sand following our arrival. The bathroom ceiling has a spot that the texture is coming off due to a leak and the toilet paper holder is not secure and falls off. The kitchen is updated and furnishings are nice. Overall, I have stayed in many places on the beach and have never experienced the lack of cleaning.....ESPECIALLY when we are in the middle of the COVID 19. I have pictures to confirm my complaints. They resolution was 50% back for the cleaning fee, which I said was not sufficient.
