About this property

Seawind 506 Beach Front Condo - Amazing Views from 5th floor

Seawinds is a family-friendly beachfront vacation condo Gulf Shores, Alabama (located directly next to Sea N Suds).

Several recent updates to the unit and the complex. New tiled walk-in shower in the master bathroom, new toilet and tile. New furniture in the living room including sleeper couch and chair. Replaced dishwasher, washer & dryer, refrigerator (with ice maker that works), microwave & hot water heater in 2024. Fabulous deck furniture for morning coffee and sunsets.

You'll find the famous beaches of Alabama's Gulf Coast mere steps from your condo door. The condo faces the Gulf of Mexico, so you will enjoy captivating panoramic views of the Gulf of Mexico, miles and miles of sugar white sand, spectacular sunsets and dolphins playing from your private balcony. On several occasions, I have been able to watch the Blue Angels fly by.

The condo is located on the 5th floor with the first three floors of the building being a parking ramp. If the elevators are crowded, park on the 3rd floor and it's only 2 flights of stairs to the unit. The unit is located directly across from the elevators.

The condo offers everything you need to feel at home including a washer and dryer, cable television, free WiFi, linens and well-appointed bathrooms.
The kitchen has granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, a dishwasher and a breakfast bar with stools. Dinnerware, pots, pans, towels, washcloths are all included. Just bring your groceries, beach towels, and you are all set!

The building has a heated indoor/outdoor beachfront swimming pool, heated outdoor splash pool with fun water features for children, a beach view hot tub, a state of the art fitness center with a sauna, and covered parking.

We're centrally located near local attractions such as restaurants, Gulf state park trails, deep sea fishing, parasailing, wave running, shopping, golfing, and a zoo, The Amphitheater at the Wharf, Waterworld USA and the Gulf Island National Seashore. Several local shops, restaurants and bars, including popular destinations such as The Hangout & Pink Pony are within walking distance. Sea N Suds is right next door. There is a convenience store across the street and a Wafflehouse.

Wonderful Family Vacation

My family of 6 including myself stayed April 2025 and had the best time. The condo exceeded our expectations, the view of the Ocean was incredible. Paracelling, jet skis, banana boat were all available directly in front of us. Restaurants, family outings close by, and you have to try City donuts. Most definitely recommend, and in the future if available would most definitely stay again. Matt was great and quickly to answer any questions that I had. Thanks!!!

University of Kentucky Roomies 2024 Summer Vaca

We have stayed at this property several times. I have never stayed in this unit. 506 was very clean I loved the balcony furniture. The beds were a comfy as any bed that is not my own is. There was plenty of start up supplies and community items like salt/pepper/oil/spray/spices. The only negative was the ice maker wasn't working and there was only 2 ice trays. We use a lot of ice so we bought some. Also, I think you need more than 4 washrags in each bath. I can reuse a towel but not a washrag. The washer is old style that I like..but it took forever for water to fill in and run a load. Not the owners fault but there are only 2 elevators for such a large building and they are slow. On a positive note they were in working order the whole week! I wish we could order our weather but we ended up with purple/ red and double red flags the whole week. I was ok with that..I can sit on that balcony and listen to the ocean all week! We had a great time and got lots of rest.

Room with a view

I have to say that our favorite part of this condo was the balcony. With the condo only being 5 floors up, you get a great view of the beach and can clearly hear the waves. The rest of the condo was very nice (including a great shower in master bath and a well equipped kitchen). Matt, the owner, was great to work with. I recommend this condo!

Toilet problem

Matt Boyle was very nice but he didn’t get the toilet problem solved. We stayed for 2 months and never got the toilet problem solved so I would highly recommend you check and make sure this is taken care of before you rent this unit it backs up and sprays water in the air not very pleasant when you are sitting on it!!

Family vacation

The condo was just as described in the listing. It had everything we needed to make our week comfortable. It was nicely decorated throughout and stocked nicely in the kitchen. We only eat breakfast & lunch in the condo, so I don’t know if the kitchen is stocked for cooking dinners. There were pots & pans, baking dishes and cookie sheets to use. The furniture on the patio area was great. There is plenty of room for the family to sit & enjoy the view. In fact my 4 year old granddaughter insisted on eating her breakfast out there each morning. My daughter’s only complaint was the queen bed was hard but it didn’t keep her from enjoying her stay. Great location to restaurants, water activities & vacation shopping. Beautiful view. My only complaint and I don’t hold this against the condo owner is the parking is horrible. Be careful in the garage. Plan for wait times with the elevators. They have hired two retirees to manage them during the busy times & it helps but you still need to plan for wait time even with this condo on the 5th floor. Honestly I have a feeling this is something most high rise condos deal with in this area. Thank you for allowing us to stay in your home. It was a wonderful time.

Enjoyed our stay!

We enjoyed our stay! 1st time visit to Gulf Shores, found the location pleasant, close to shopping and restaurants. We were there the week of Memorial Day, Saturday and Sunday of Memorial Day weekend was (as to be expected) pretty packed, but crowds eased up on Monday. Parking is TIGHT, especially when crowded. The accommodations were good for our group of 6- the unit was clean and kitchen had all the gadgets. Check in (and out) was a breeze. Owner was very responsive to any questions beforehand.

Wonderful trip!

We loved this location, condo, and accomodations. The staff was very friendly, the condo was clean and stocked very well. Being able to walk to the beach is the best part! Although the balcony view of the ocean was a close second. Patio furniture was great. The condo comes stocked with all the essentials, like paper towels, a dishwashing pod, trash bags, and one roll of toilet paper. We did have to go get more tp since we stayed 4 days. My husband loved the beds, because he prefers a firm bed. I have back pain on firm beds, but a quick trip to Walmart for a cheap mattress pad did the trick. We ate at a few restaurants while there, but Cactus Cantina was my favorite. My husband loved Ginny Lanes by the Wharf. We did the Sunny Lady dolphin tour and the captain and crew were very nice and fun, definitely recommend doing that with your kids. The beach was clean, well kept, and never super crowded. Especially in the later part of the day it early mornings. Definitely recommend staying at this location and we hopefully can come back in the future.

Spring Break Stay

Our stay at this condo went smoothly. Check-in was easy and the condo fit our needs. Beautiful view from the balcony, kitchen was well-stocked with dishes, and having the laundry room was great. One elevator was down one day but we took the stairs so wasn't an issue. Parking spots are tight but we never had a problem finding one. Plenty for the kids to do. Heated pool was great on the chilly days. We would definitely recommend staying here.

About the host

Hosted by Matt Boyle

Host profile image
I purchased this condo back in 2019 because I love the beach and Gulf Shores. Unfortunately, I still have that work thing so I am not able to enjoy it full time. Being able to rent it and also use it was a huge draw. Since I have owned it, the unit has been completely repainted, all new linens, and furniture continues to get upgraded.

Why they chose this property

I picked this property because I wanted something on the beach and a floor location (it's on the 5th floor) that would allow me the opportunity to watch my family and friends on the beach from the porch as well as inside. I love being able to walk to several places and not need to drive or find a place to park.

What makes this property unique

Being able to walk through the front door, set your groceries on the counter, and see that amazing view over and over again is remarkable.
