About this property

Beachy & Fun ^ Close to Everything ^ Perfect for Couples & Young Families

Thank you for spending a few moments looking at our condo. We hope to give you something to look forward to. We want you to know that we are vacationers too. We recently finished completely painting with new colors and furnishings. What we look for is a place that is affordable and is kept absolutely clean and has up to date furnishings. Our condo fits this description. You have a place that leaves you more money to spend on the rest of your vacation. You are using the same beach, same restaurants, same stores, same recreation places and other amenities that are used by the high priced condos. We also want to know what others have to say about our condo after they leave. We have many guest reviews for you to read. You don’t have to just take our word in the advertising.

Our condo is located in the heart of Gulf Shores. You can walk to a number of restaurants on wide sidewalks or walk to the many local flavor stores. Our condo is located directly across the street from the beach. We are on a corner and have a safe crossing light to our deeded access onto the beach. When you walk out the front door you will be standing on the beach in 3 minutes. You will be parking directly under our condo so your car stays safely covered for your stay at our Gentle Winds East A1.

3 Things to be Happy
Someone to Love
Something to Do
Something to Look Forward to

Why do people keep coming back to Gulf Shores? Still has the small town beach feel. Still a family oriented city. Still the best Seafood restaurants anywhere. The incredibly white beaches that are so wide simply are beyond description until you see it yourself. Plenty of unique shopping places in Gulf Shores. All the familiar chain restaurants and stores are bordering Gulf Shores in Foley. Night time fun for families. Going to The Hangout during the day or night is a blast. Long walks down nearly secluded beaches in early mornings or before dark is a must.

Not long ago a fun renovation was completed. The latest changes are major. We now have a King Bed in the bed instead of the former queen beds. We had a wall built for the bedroom with a barn door. We created built-in bunk beds in the previous closet. These are child size bunks: 24" x 59". We have new flooring throughout the condo. Ceiling as been redone along with crown molding. Bathroom has been remodeled as well. We wanted a more intimate feeling but not leaving out the small families that need and want an affordable condo.

Our condo has nearly every convenience you have at home. The kitchen is fully stocked so you don’t have to bring home to here. We even put in new granite countertops. Plenty of linens and towels too. We have free Wifi so bring your laptop too. You will be working with us directly and you always have our phone number if you need us. We pride ourselves in responding every step of the way quickly and politely during the process of deciding and ultimately coming to our condo. We actively manage the condo and do all the cleaning and maintaining so we know what you want when you get here. Clean, Clean, Clean and comfortable!

In April 2023 a wonderful couple Matthew and Courtney Fallin and their family purchased the condo from Lisa and me. A deep friendship developed over the past year leading to their interest in our condo. I will continue to oversee the day to day operation of the condo and continue what we started many years ago. Matthew and Courtney also have properties in Pigeon Forge TN and this will be their first beach property. It is my privilege and honor to be able to stay on at Gentle Winds and now be a part of Matthew & Courtney's success.

If you have read this far: I am Randy Moris and am an unashamed follower and believer on Jesus Christ. My Savior and Lord. When my wife Lisa and I were in some of the darkest times of our lives we began a humble business at the beach with condos. Through the thousands of guests, just like you, we were able to do something other than to worry 24/7 about difficult situations within our family. What a blessing it is to serve you and others. Thank you for taking a look at this condo. You are the blessing.

Above All Else
Consider Christ
He Is Still The Answer

Perfect!
The location of this place is perfect! The beach access is literally right across the street and there are both restaurants and a small convenient market (so you don't have to drive to Walmart) within walking distance. My husband and I have both agreed that this would be a location that we would be happy to stay at again.

Overall satisfied
The place was great! Very clean and convenient. It was nice to have all cooking utensils, pots & pans, and dishes. Stayed so cool inside even though it was very hot outside. Access to beach was easy to get to. Favorite thing was the book left for renters. It gave so much information about what all is around, from shopping, entertainment, food, down to taxi services. This is one thing my family loves when we are not familiar with an area. A guess sign in book would be a nice touch. We have stayed places where guest can sign it and say your likes or dislikes of restaurants, entertainment, best time to go to beach, what's crowded, what wasn't, favorite over all experiences etc. Overall a WONDERFUL, CLEAN, AND COZY place to stay!

Great 1st Girls Trip
We so enjoyed our stay. The property was clean with, of course, beach theme. Owner was super easy to work with. I worried a little about being across street, but it was easy to cross. You could still see ocean from balcony , and we enjoyed people walking around. It is close to everything, and being next to Surf and Style store/market was great too. I cannot say enough about this condo, and we got it for a great price. Highly recommend!

About the host

Hosted by Randy Moris

Host profile image
Purchased Gentle Winds East unit A1 on March 31, 2023 by
Matthew & Courtney Fallin - Oneonta, AL
Their story:
We are a family of 6 that enjoy serving our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, traveling and watching our children play sports. We have uniquely named our vacation properties after our children. It's a great blessing for us to be able to share our condo with you

Why they chose this property

We chose Gentle Winds for its excellent location and easy beach access. Gulf Shores is such a quaint small town with a big beach

What makes this property unique

It's not unique to come on vacation to the beach unless there is no beach where you live. The number 1 reason we always vacationed at Gulf Shores was to get on the beach. Of course there is always plenty of other activities to fill in your days and evenings but the beach was, is, and always be our first love (along with the mountains). Oh, and saving money by staying at our condos.
