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.

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 Very old and outdated!

Great view, unclean room

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.

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.

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!

Very clean with all the amenities you need for a stay at the beach. The king bed was comfortable.

Very neat place and really comfortable for 2. Kitchen well stocked. The king bed was a plus and there was plenty of closet space.
