Location was great. Communication was good. Only suggest starter dish soap because only dishwasher detergent was included. Our balcony view was wonderful.

Location is great. However in this condo, you do not have much privacy. There is no privacy on the balcony. The room next door pretty much shares the balcony. Each room’s window has adjacent balconies looking in. Therefore you have to keep windows closed. It has a strange layout and doesn’t have much lighting inside. This property only allows one parking pass although it says you may can get two. Over all, we would stay at the Islands West but would not stay in the East property again.

Broken & Dirty

We did not have a great experience. Upon checking in, we realized that 3 of the 4 balcony chairs were broken. A lamp in the living room was broken. The ceiling fan in the secondary bedroom was broken. The towel rod in the master bathroom was hanging out of the wall. All of the surfaces were so dusty. On our first morning, we realized our coffee maker was broken. The mattresses are so hard, no one slept well. Overall, we were just extremely disappointed with how tired and un-maintained the property was. Would definitely never stay here again.

Honestly I was just disappointed.

Our family has been coming to the gulf for years. This condo was the first time everyone in our family had poor comments about. We arrived an hour early and weren’t able to check-in which was understandable. The problem was the condo wasn’t ready at check-in time either. It was an hour after check-in we were able to get in our condo. I run a cleaning business myself and the cleaning is terrible. Dirty dishes put up in cabinets. Dust over everything. Baseboards, light fixtures and walls dirty. The master bed is so uncomfortable. This is the first time I can’t wait to sleep in my bed. The second bathroom shower was clogged and wouldn’t drain. The air works in the living area but you sweat at night in rooms. The cabinets are all falling apart. The fans barely work. Some chairs on the balcony are broken. The oven door about takes the cabinet door off when you open it. The kitchen’s layout is off. Can’t open drawers bc of other drawers etc. As far as the building itself…. Employees are very friendly and it was kept up. Easy walk to beach.

Enjoyed our stay

The location was fabulous and the condo served its purpose. The only complaint would be the parking. We were only allowed 1 space but had two cars. But the overflow parking was appreciated but still an annoyance to go back and forth. Overall experience was excellent!

Not the best experience

If you rent a 2 bedroom condo for 2 families to stay, only 1 family gets a parking pass to stay on grounds while the other has to find local parking (which is hard to find during holidays & events). The condo itself was very disappointing. It was not the cleanest I’ve been in & honestly did not compare to photo’s on the internet. Perks: it was on the beach with easy access & had a nice beach front view from the balcony.

Our 2016 Spring Break Vacation

We had a wonderful vacation at Island Winds East in Gulf Shores, Alabama...First time we had ever been! The condo was nice and it was just like the pictures on the website. It was clean and had plenty of room for us. The only thing I could say that would have made it any better would have been softer mattresses. The mattress on the King Size bed was a little to hard/stiff for my taste. I would recommend a soft mattress topper. Other than that we have no complaints!! This condo is within walking distance to a lot of the attractions (The Hang Out)
