(Previously listing #755173)

Unbeatable location at the center of Gulf Shores beach life! Once you unpack your car, put your keys away till its time to go home! NO MORE SAND IN YOUR CAR! Our Condo is only 2 blocks from the end of Highway 59 (the “T”). Take a right on west Beach Blvd and the second right you will arrive at your "Gem at the Beach". The new Gulf Place is our front yard.

Southwinds is a VERY low-density complex with only 12 units. Most are privately owned or personally rented out by the owners. It is a wonderful and warm group of people that have become part of our extended family. The location is ideal because the beach is right across the street, and once you are done for the day walking to everything else is so easy too! It is the perfect place to bring your family & friends!

Walk to over 10 restaurants/bars like The Hangout, Pink Pony, Shrimp Basket, Bahama Bobs, Papa Rocco’s, (less than 5 minute walk). We are also directly across the street from the new Burro Azul.

Shopping is also with in walking distance!

Enjoy stunning views of the beautiful white sandy beaches and the Gulf of Mexico from the front and back decks. The large front deck with a table, chairs and umbrella is perfect to enjoy the gulf views and salt air while you enjoy your meal with your family, and friends! The back deck is wonderful for a quiet retreat with an amazing view.

If you have ever been to the Hangout Music Festival, our condo is directly across from the main stage! Sit on the front deck and enjoy the music for free. We are one of the only condos INSIDE THE VENUE! *NO SHUTTLE PASSES TO PURCHASE, NO BIKES TO LOCK, NO LONG WALKS!*

Shrimp festival in October- simply sit on the back deck to enjoy the music or take a short walk to the stages and festivities. *NO WORRIES ABOUT PARKING OR TRAFFIC!*.
The unit sleeps 4 in beds but can hold up to 6 if you utilize the couch and twin cot mattress. You can also bring an air mattress, if you choose.

Great place!
This is a great place to stay. It’s close to the beach and the center of everything. We walked most of the time. The only negative is the pool depth was only 4 feet, which would be great for kids.

Loved it!!
The property is outstanding, close to everything and very accommodating, clean with friendly neighbors. we have stayed there in the past and that is why we went back. Unfortunately, for the entire time we were there, 18 days there was heavy construction right nexr door, every day from 0630 until 1830. With that being said, we would still go back,

Summer Vacation
Overall me and my girls loved this property. It was nice, neat, and fully equipped. Absolutely loved the location. It was around everything.The beach was practically at the front doorstep. Just a few steps across the street and there lays the beach. Just a quick walk down the street is The Hangout and more. Me and more girls really enjoyed scenery that we walked everywhere until it was time to go to the water park. The next time we visit the beach we will definitely look into this property again.

Great Location/Cleanest Place Ever
I don’t ever leave reviews but this place deserves one. We have never stayed “across the street from the beach” and I was leary but this was Wonderful. Beach access was much closer and easier than staying in a condo on the beach. No elevators was the best part. Close to everything, could walk everywhere. We’ve stayed in some nice places but this was the cleanest condo I have ever been in. Whoever does the cleaning deserves a bonus 😊. The owners were very kind and easy to work with.

Loved the Location!
We were all very pleased with this rental! We loved the location and how close it is to the beach, shops, and fun activities. The property was very nice inside and on the deck! The kitchen was perfect and we appreciated all of the extras (plenty of extra bedding, nice washer and dryer, quiet dishwasher, fabulous shower on top floor, use of beach items, etc.). The only things I would change inside the house would be the king bed mattress in the master bedroom and the addition of a couch-bed downstairs. The king mattress was extremely soft, but sunk in when you laid down. We are also hopeful that the landscaping around the property will improve, but we did notice that some renovations and work were being done. Overall, my family and I were extremely pleased and my son even said this was his favorite place! We hope to stay here again soon!

Great Location
The inside of the unit was amazing. It was completely updated beautifully. The unit was well equipped and the beds were extremely comfortable. It was right across from the beach entrance in downtown Gulf Shores. A little noisy sitting outside at night but right in the middle of everything- walking distance to a shopping, ice cream, restaurants and bars-The Hangout real close. The outside of the building still showed damage from Sally. Nice breeze from the ocean on the deck. I am picky and this place exceeded my expectations.

Perfect beach condo!
This was my second year staying in one of the owner's properties. Both units are in the same area. This place was exactly what me and my boys needed. Great location - close to the beach, restaurants, fishing, swimming, etc. The location is amazing - right across the street from beach access and has its own private pool. Thank you for allowing us to stay with you again!

Excellent location!!
This is a terrific location at Gulf Shores. Just a short walk across from the public beach where you can rent an umbrella and chairs for the day or week. This townhome was super clean and worked perfectly for me and my college aged children. There were 5 of us total. We were able to put a queen size blow up mattress downstairs and everyone was super comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked with appliances and having washer/dryer at the beach is just a must!! Several restaurants etc. within waking distance. We would stay here again without question!!

The best place ever!
I absolutely loved staying here! Everything from the decor to the location was great. We were in walking distance to everything that we did other than the grocery store and the zoo. Very nice condo and owners. Hopefully, in the near future, my husband and I will get a place just like theirs down at the beach!

We recently purchased our second unit at Southwinds. We love it and love sharing it with others. We expect you to love it as much as we do!

Why they chose this property

After looking all over Gulf Shores, we found Southwinds. All I can say is Location, Location, Location.
We are close to everything. We can walk to numerous restaurants. It is nice watching the sunrise and sunset from our deck!
