WIND DRIFT AMENITIES
Wind Drift isn't your typical Orange Beach property. This complex occupies one of the most coveted stretches on the Alabama coast—nestled between the Gulf of Mexico and Old River, bordered by a state park to the west. Translation: unobstructed sunset views, uncrowded beaches, and a location you can't replicate.
The dual-waterfront setup means you're not choosing between beach life and boating access—you're getting both. First-come boat slips with direct river access across the street on Old River. A fishing pier where the catches are as good as the views. Trailer and watercraft storage for serious boaters. Two outdoor community pools with sundecks—one Gulf-front, one bayside. Tennis and pickleball courts for active guests.

ORANGE BEACH DINING & ATTRACTIONS
Orange Beach offers an exceptional dining scene within walking distance or a short drive. Local favorites include Flora-Bama Lounge for live music and legendary Bushwackers, The Gulf for waterfront dining in repurposed shipping containers, Zeke's Restaurant for fresh seafood, Doc's Seafood Shack for fried Gulf catches, Louisiana Lagniappe for upscale Creole cuisine, Cosmo's Restaurant for diverse menu options, GTs On The Bay for bayfront views, LuLu's for family-friendly atmosphere with entertainment, and The Hangout for beachfront casual dining.
Orange Beach has earned impressive national recognition. Condé Nast Traveler named it a top 10 beach in the United States for 2026. The Orange Beach Festival of Art won USA Today's #1 Best Arts Festival in the nation for 2025. The Hugh S. Branyon Backcountry Trail earned the #1 Best Recreational Trail in the U.S. for three consecutive years (2023-2025). USA Today also recognized Orange Beach with #7 Best Small Town Food Scene in 2024.

We have stayed at several condos in this area before, however this one was the best by far. Great floor plan and it never seemed crowded. The condo was fully stocked with everything you needed. Beach views were amazing and the owner was great to work with. Highly recommend.

Everything was nice and clean. All the amenities were accounted for and there was a lot of space to lounge around and relax. This one probably one of the best stays we have had in the area for a great price as well. Would stay again and recommend to others.

Awesome location, dated unit.

Overall, the stay was wonderful, location cannot be beat. My only complaints are the old appliances and the lack of a bathroom fan in the hall bathroom. I was told there is an ice machine, but there is not. AC worked great. Beds were comfortable. The oven takes 20 minutes to preheat. The toaster is a joke. As I said, all of the appliances are in need of replacement in my opinion. I brought a boat and kept it across the street in the boat yard facility. It is fabulous with the only negative being the smell of sewage coming from the Ono island Pumpstation. Total buzz kill. I cannot believe this is allowed!!!! It’s disgusting! All things considered I would stay there again since I am the fisherman and this location 100% caters to that. If the place was for sale I would consider buying it.
