It was a nice stay although a little over priced. It would have been nice to have a little more extra soap for dishes and such. Also ran out of toilet paper and there wasn't any extra in the condo. The view was great!

At first, it was great then.....roaches!
We were happy and excited when we saw our room, view and the hotel amenities and the pools. It was plenty of room for 2 adults and 2 kids, ages 8 & 13. You could tell that the hotel wasn't 5 Star quality based on the towels and accessories, but it was definitely nice. The first bug experience was when we first walked into the master bathroom late Friday evening and there was a "silver fish" by the tub. We didn't fret too much, we just squished the thing and moved on. We had a great Saturday and Sunday morning, in which we used the kitchen more. We came in about 9 p.m. on Sunday, turned on the kitchen lights.....there were roaches every where! We immediately freaked and called the hotel after-hours line. The lady on the other end didn't seem too concerned, but she said she would contact someone. By about 11:30, the maintenance man had called and said he would use his "Home Depot Remedy." The roaches didn't go away. By the time the maintenance guy had left, it was near 12:30-1:00 a.m. I managed to calm down, lay down for a few after packing and we left within the next few hours. To top it all off, the fire alarm started sounding in our condo at 4:30, 5, and 5:30 for no good reason. The worst disappointment was the Kaiser, Wyndham staff who is handling the complaint. Poor, defensive attitudes. We weren't even offered a full refund, although we left almost 2 days early on a 4 day trip. The manager argued over refunding "resort" fees that the resort charged, not Expedia.

Big rooms.
I rented a two bedroom condo, but we had 3 rooms. It was clean and had all we needed. The wifi was easy to connect, so I watched movies after a day out. Nice place!

Mini vacation
We had a good time. It was decorated nice and clean. Loved the space of the condo! Kids had there own room, Grandma had hers. View was good. Good location! Suds n Sea Restaurant was right below us and very easy access to the beach and not pricy, good food. We will go back! Only downfalls, the room kept dialing 911 and it wasn't the kids. Happened at 3 am and 5:30 am. But when I called the front desk where we checked in they sent someone right away to fix the phone. It was just very odd to have the police show up 3 times! One of the elevators kept getting stuck on floor 9, which wasn't very comforting!The ice machine on fridge was frozen up but no big deal. It did spoil us into wanting a condo from now on rather than a hotel, because it is just more convenient having the full kitchen, so you don't eat out a lot and it was more comfy! It is very big, but you still feel homey once you get into your room, because the condo is pretty big. We had a three bedroom with two king beds, and the kids had bunk beds.

Great Spring Break
The condo was clean and well maintained. The only thing I did not like was being on the 18th floors. It is in an excellent location in Gulf Shores with very easy and close access to the beach. The pool is small and the jacuzzi is not hot, so if you are planning to spend your time at the pool, this is not the place for you!

Rude service, great location!!!
This condominuim is in a very good location. Tons of great restaurants and attractions nearby. Beach front and easy access to the beach. The only problems I have with this condo is that there are only two elevators for the entire condo. The elevator waits are forever long. We stayed Sunday-Thursday and Wednesday around lunch one of the elevators shut down because people held the door open too long. When we left Thursday at ten o'clock it still wasn't fixed. Therefore there was ONE elevator for the entire condo! Awful!!!! There's almost 400 rooms and two elevators! Not to mention you can't use the hot tub because people from the hotel across the street stay in it all the time! We asked the security guard to ask them to leve nd he didn't care. Horrible service! If ur just looking for somewhere to lay your head it's good. If u want leisure and accessibility it's awful!

Perfect Location!
This was the perfect condo for our family.  On the days when we just wanted to hang out at the beach, all we had to do was go down the elevator and step outside of our condo.  For the days when we wanted to go on an excursion we were centrally located to several attractions.  All we had to do was drive a few miles one way to the dolphin cruises, or a few miles the other way to visit the alligator farm.  We were also within walking distance or even a few minutes drive to a wide variety of restaurants that were all family friendly. The amenities inside the condo were great as well.  We went grocery shopping our first day and stocked our kitchen with breakfast and lunch items.  We had all of the dishes & utensils that we needed.  Between playing at the beach, we would go up to the condo and eat out on the terrace and watch the waves roll in. I also loved how the laundry room was roomy and separate from everything else.  It was the perfect dumping ground for all of our beach items so that we did not track sand all over the condo. The only reason I held back on giving all 5 stars is because our last night of our trip was a very different experience from the rest of the week.  There was a big music festival that was beginning our last day in town.  The amount of people partying, drinking and littering the property and beach was astounding.  Our condo was right next to the elevator, which hadn't posed a problem all week.  But all of the drunks waiting for the elevator at midnight woke up our 4 yr old because it was right outside her bedroom window.  We ended up having to put her on the sleeper sofa in the living room to get her as far away from the noise as possible.  I don't blame the condo for this, as I'm sure the situation was the same for pretty much every condo in town.  I would just recommend checking out the local events before you book your trip if you're looking for a quiet relaxing vacation with young children.

Great Place to Stay
My family enjoyed our stay at Seawind. The condo was nicely furnished with comfortable beds and up to date granite and stainless steel appliances. It was walking distance from several restaurants and shops, including one restaurant on site that was very reasonably priced. The beach access was great, and lifeguards and police patrols were visible on the beach several times a day to ensure guest safety. Plenty of amenities available for guests including volleyball courts, exercise rooms, indoor and outdoor pools, spa, etc...We had a great time; the only downside we found was the complex only has two elevators to service numerous guests. Certain times of the day required a wait for the elevator; however, we didn't find that enough of an annoyance not to stay there again. We will definitely stay there when we go back.

Perfect for our needs
We found this to be a good place to stay. It was convenient, our room was perfect for us and we had a great time. Didn't find parking to be an issue, we have a suburban & we simply parked in lot out of small garage. Elevators were a slow process at check-out but an employee was watching the cameras and came out to help which was great. I did think our room should have been spotless for the amount of the cleaning fee they charge. We d stay here again.

Great location! Great restaurants nearby!
I was charged a 154$ housekeeping fee when I arrived to check into my hotel. I think this is outrageous. It should be included in your payment of staying at the hotel. We also were not given the code to use the exercise room when we checked in so we couldn't utilize it while we were there. There wasn't any lights in the kids room, only a window and bunk beds and the tv didn't work.

Only two complaints
I wasn't thrilled that we had to check in and out at a different location. Not sure if that was indicated in my reservation or not but I totally missed it and drove to the condo's to only have to back track. Then we walked in to find out that even though my reservation said 4 adults and requested 3 bedrooms the third bedroom was a rinky and shaky bunkbed. Other than that the room was great and clean and the elevators weren't an issue as previous reviews stated. I wouldn't go during the summer though because the pools are small.

Great views but not so great parking
Thank goodness the condo was nice because there were several downfalls to the complex. The first being parking. The guests have the options of either parking in the outside parking lot or the parking garage. The parking garage is three levels, however, the third level is for condo owners only. And the parking spots were almost too small for SUVs. The second downfall are the elevators. The condominium has twenty floors, but there are only two elevators. If staying at this complex on either Saturday and/or Sunday, be prepared to wait for the elevators! My husband & two sons got tired of waiting so they brought our luggage up by using the stairs. (We were on the tenth floor!) This being said, the view was wonderful. We watched dolphins swim along the shore every morning! Plus, we were right next to a terrific restaurant.

We were NOT made aware of the "cleaning fee" we were charged upon arrival. I am NOT at ALL happy about budgeting for this vacation and having this hidden fee added by the condo rental after booking and paying for my reservation with hotels.com. The accomodations were fine. The amount of towels was not adequate though for an 8 person condo. There was one set of elevators and sometimes the wait was quite long.

My Family's Worse Vacation EVER!
The day of my arrival I was informed that the room that I booked was not available and they had another room for me to stay in, however I had to move rooms on the 4th of July. I couldn't believe that after paying 1500.00 for my vacation and expecting to relax I couldn't even unpack my things and get comfortable. The first room they put us in was nice but the second room had an odor of urine, before i got to my second room, I was informed that on the morning of the 4th that someone would be at my room at 10:00am with the keys to the new room,after waiting on thier arrival around 10:30 I called her and asked what time they would be there i was then informed that she was on her way, again after waiting about 15 minutes she called and said the District Manager was on his way to bring us the keys and that it would be about another 30 to 40 minutes before he got there. While we wasted our morning packing up our stuff and waiting on them the cleaning lady showed up, with her kids. She didn't speak english so it was hard to communicate. Then finally another lady showed up with keys to let us in the new room until the DM got there with my set of keys. Finally around 12:30 the DM arrived and asked how things were. I pointed out the smell of urine and he said "I don't smell anything". They only offered to refund my cleaning fees for my inconvience. Could someone explain to me how that helps? This by far was the worse vacation ever. Thanks for taking a week of my vacation time away.

Condo was very nice, close to everything, nice beach, small pool but nice (most pools that we saw were small). Elevators a little slow and overcrowded. Would definitely return to this condo however, very nice. Beach is wonderful and this is where we spent most of our time. Room had nice master bedroom, kids bedroom and very small bedroom with 2 bunk beds. 2 main bedrooms and family room all had balcony outside of them... huge balcony (8' x 40'). Granite countertops and tile kitchen. Property is on beach.
