Wind Drift 102S by ALBVR - Beautiful Upgraded Beachfront Condo near Flora Bama

The perfect setting for a quiet, family getaway. This condo has a perfect view that makes you feel like you are floating just above the Gulf. Plus the location is isolated enough that you can feel like you are getting away from it all, but still be in the heart of Orange Beach. The infamous Florabama Lounge is right down the road and world class restaurants surround you. This is truly a fantastic setting in a great complex.

You will love the views in this two bedroom condo in Orange Beach. This 2 bedroom, 2 bath condo sits on 1st floor, just above the dunes, with a clear view of the Gulf of Mexico and boasts more than 1,000 square feet of space.

The unit sleeps up to 7 with a king in the master bedroom, a full and a twin bed in the second bedroom, plus a sleeper sofa in the living room. Interior appointments include washer and dryer, 3 televisions, a stereo, plus high-end cotton linens.

Complex Amenities: Two outdoor pools and three lighted tennis courts.

Wind Drift offers first come, first served docking and boat and trailer storage across the street from the beach, at the condo's own dock. This is a very convenient amenity as most complexes don't allow you to store your boat or trailer. At Wind Drift it's welcomed, allowed, and convenient for a fee of $50/per day and a $50 transaction fee paid directly to them*. *This fee can change at anytime, without notice. Please note that you must register in advance with Waves Property Management. During prime season it's best to make arrangements as early as possible, in advance of your stay. They have limited space so it's available on a first-come, first-served basis. The boat slips are located across the street on Old River, the waterway between the condo and Ono Island.

*Parking is limited to two (2) cars per unit. You will be required to purchase your parking pass(es) in advance directly from Wind Drift (we will email you instructions 10-days prior to arrival). Wind Drift is charging $50* per parking pass, plus tax & fees. *This price can change at any time, without notice.

**Please note that this is a non-smoking complex. No smoking allowed inside or on balconies, nor any common area at Wind Drift.**

This is your home-away-from-home with warmer weather and better views. So, stop searching and book your vacation today.

Fun Times at Wind Drift

We enjoyed our Spring Break at this property and loved the location. The condo was well appointed with comfy beds, well-stocked kitchen and just a walk to the beach. We were aware of the work being done although they did start early every morning before 7. The workers were friendly and tried to be as unobtrusive as possible. We will be back.

Loved everything about it!

This is a great condo! Clean and well equipped. My friend who goes to the beach often said it's now on her list instead of some of the others she has always used. I prefer the smaller buildings. Easier beach access. We loved it! Will definitely stay again.

Spring Break getaway

Great location, quite, right on the beach. Rooms very spacious. Well kept and clean. Only draw back was shortage on necessary supplies. Only one trash bag, and one roll of t-paper per bathroom. Wifi wasn't working first night and unable to contact management until after weekend. Overall great place.

Family fishing trip at the beach

We planned a family fishing trip at Orange Beach. This condo location was great and close to everywhere we wanted to be. Will book again. Only draw back was no code for the gate when we arrived. However, our booking manager was able to work it and we received a code soon afterwards. Our 10 yr old son loved it! The beach was not flooded with people and so close to the room.

Love that is NOT overcrowded

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My family and I enjoyed our stay at Wind Drift. We went the week of July 4th and the beach was not overcrowded nor were the elevators. It is very convenient to restaurants and stores. When sitting on the balcony, it feels like you are sitting on the beach. Room was equipped with everything we needed including an ice maker.

The location was very good. However, the condo was not clean. There was mold in the bathroom. Mold is the bathroom fan and light. And the toilet seat in guest bathroom was broken. Lights and fans were dirty. And furniture was not dusted

Evacuation

During our stay the condo was clean and easy check in process. During our stay they were drilling on the concrete underneath us. Management failed to inform us and it was also unpermited work being done. Drilling and vibrating such an unbearable noise waking up my 1 year old. They told me they would give me a credit of $125 and i've not seen confirmation of that. As a result of the drilling the building was evacuated due to potentional collapse. While they set up another place to stay. My family and i were too shook up to stay and we drove home that night. I see now they have deemed the building safe after saying potential collapse. Due to circumstances I wouldn't feel safe to stay again.

Bad Experience

The property was under construction. You had to use opposite doors and go around often. The trash room to throw trash was disgusting. We called the property manager had to leave messages. Parking was horrible you paid $60 per pass and had to park across the street. Just so poor. Pool was dirty. Our condo stayed hot we were miserable at night. Did get a small credit but for the price I paid should have been more. The garbage disposal didn’t work. Was very disappointing!!!

Clean, Updated, Convenient, Great View Property!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I'll just go ahead and say I like things to be real nice. I have been going to Gulf Shores/Orange Beach for years. Sometimes condos can be old and in need of updating or repair. I can tell that THIS condo, however, has been maintained as well as updated. Kitchen is very nice--looks to be new granite countertops, nice clean appliances -- everything worked perfectly. Three coffee pots in case you're an addict. We felt right at home. This condo is on the first floor (ground floor is very bottom then first floor is one up). I'm unsure why the view is getting a bad report--we had a fantastic view of the beach. I stood on the beach and waved at my husband standing behind the kitchen counter and he waved back. The view is clear and beautiful. In addition, you'll only have one flight of stairs to climb if you decide not to take the elevator--which is doable for most everyone and quicker in most instances. Pool and beach access (across the wooden bridge thing) is approximately 30 seconds walking from the door of the condo (including the stairs). Pool was clean and clear, well maintained. It was nice to have a public men's & women's restroom down at the pool so we didn't have to come back to the room. Nice shaded area with picnic tables at the pool. We went last week of August, first week of September -- we had the beach to ourselves, weather was hot but not miserable like the hot Alabama heat can get. We will go back next next, hopefully to this same condo.
