Beachfront Getaway. Relax On A Budget! 2 Bed Condo In The Heart Of Gulf Shores

Located on the 8th floor of the Island Winds West, this condo has everything you need for a fun and relaxing vacation. Enjoy your morning coffee from your balcony while taking in the glistening waters of the Gulf below.

FEATURES:
This 2 bedroom/ 2 bath unit at the Island Winds West is on the 8th floor. Enjoy the magnificent views from your private balcony. Located directly on the beach with direct beach access from the condo, you will be able to enjoy the amazing beaches this area is famous for. Located right by The Hangout, this condo has you located right in the center of Gulf Shores and huge events like music festivals, the NCAA Women’s Sand Volleyball tournament, and so much more! Our condo features free Wi-Fi, free cable TV, a fully stocked kitchen, and a full-size washer and dryer - free for you to use during your stay. A laundry packet is provided to do a load of laundry while you're here. Free private Wi-Fi ensures you have a great connection during your stay.

MASTER BEDROOM:
The master bedroom offers a King-sized bed and its own private ensuite bathroom. A TV with free cable provides comfortable viewing entertainment while you drift off to sleep. A private window lets you look out at the ocean while you relax and sleep in the bed. Bedside lamps provide reading light for late night readers. A closet and dressers provide plenty of storage place for your clothes and luggage. The private bathroom features a shower/tub combo and an electrical outlet by the vanity for your electric devices.

GUEST BEDROOM:
The Guest Bedroom includes a Queen-sized bed with a TV with cable, perfect for late night shows. A dresser offers storage for clothing. A bedside lamp offers reading light if you prefer a good read before going to bed. A private ensuite bathroom provides guests their own bathroom space featuring a shower/tub combo and vanity space.

LIVING AREA:
There is a Full-sized sleeper sofa in the living room for additional sleeping accommodations. A recliner sits next to the couch. Both are in great view of either the TV or the beautiful ocean. The dining table comfortably sits 2 people while a couple of additional people can dine at the bar top counter.

KITCHEN:
The kitchen is fully stocked with everything to satisfy your cooking needs. Plenty of pots and pans, baking sheets, appliances, dishes, cups, and utensils. The double sink allows easy dish washing while you're looking at a great view of the city. A standard drip coffee machine and a Keurig are in the unit. You will have to bring your own coffee.

SURROUNDING AREA:
Located in the heart of Gulf Shores, you're within walking distance to many attractions and restaurants. The very popular Hangout is located just down the beach making it an easy walk to get dinner and some live music. You're located right on the beach, so it's just a short trip to get yourself soaking in the sun. It's also right where the Gulf Shores Public Beach is located that offers additional beach space if the one by the condo is too crowded as well as some nice grassy areas to relax and have a picnic. There are lots of volleyball nets and a great walking path along the beach if you just want a nice walk. There are other good restaurants that are within walking distance of the condo.

We hope you're ready for a great vacation. Feel free to ask us any questions and we'll gladly get back to you!

Ok

It was a great area to stay. Unit could use some maintenance. Staying for a month it needed some new pans and skillet for cooking. The living room chair looks good but felt like I was sitting on ground, hard to get up and down for a 70 year old with bad knees.

Great Getaway.

The condo was described perfectly to a T. The area has several restaurants and little stores in walking distance. Condo was clean and very well taken care of. Only one downfall was the mattress in the king bed was alittle sung in but nothing that would make me not stay there again. Looking forward to the next trip.
