Hidden Gem

This was our first trip to Alabama and we were torn between Orange beach and gulf shores…we are SO happy we picked this location! It was so much quieter than gulf shores. You get the best of both worlds being on the river and having access to the beach. The beach side was windy and it was great that we could go home and tuck away from the wind by the river. We saw dolphins, manatee, and all sorts of sea life from our balcony! The walk to the beach is a simple crosswalk. You have access to the pool at this building (north) and across the street at the other windrift buildings. Where this condo is located—gives you great quiet beach access! We had the beach to ourselves all week! Great shell hunting at this location. The condo is clean and comfy. Easily got ahold of the host when we had questions. We even added an extra day to our stay! Would 100% stay here again!

Dolphins Galore

A wonderful stay with a great view of the dolphins daily. Very easy to find and a lot of local restaurants in the area. Plus the kitchen is fully stocked if you just want to stay in and relax.

Guys golf trip

This was our semi-annual guys golf trip. Everything was perfect. Very nice condo, Good communication before, during and after our stay with condo owner. Nightly rate and fees was better than most places. Condo was very nicely decorated and provided all the necessary furnishings for our stay. We did have to pay extra for parking but the condo owner did not have any control over that. Would definitely recommend this condo and will stay here again.

Family vacation

We had 7 guests and there was plenty of room for everyone. The condo was nice, but it was outdated and needs some repairs and updates. The fixtures in the master bath were loose and the master bedroom didn’t have a lock on the door because it was broken. The elevator also was down for a day while we were there and we had to walk 6 flights of stairs. Overall we had a good trip.

Great place to stay!

We didnt have any problems at all. The pool was great. Short distance to the beach. The view from the balcony was amazing. Short drive to everything. If you fish youll catch as many catfish as your heart desires and some others i dont know the names. I forgot something in leaving and they are being amazing and mailing it to me. I couldnt of had a better vacation here!

Would definitely stay here again. Beautifully decorated and comfy. Loved being so close to everything and really loved having a washer and dryer. The beaches were not crowded here and we can’t wait to come back. Do bring your own toilet paper though!

Overall it was very clean, quiet and great view. One complaint. (Fixable)

The master bathroom tub faucet was detached from the wall and not stable at all. Also the water was warm but not hot in this bathroom. But overall clean and ice trip.

Our Stay was Ok but not the best

I was upset when I realized there was more than 1 condo location. I thought ours was on beach due to the website photos, it wasn’t. It was ok w the view of the boats going by. I didn’t like that they had the clean towels under bathroom sink next to plunger. There were also roaches in kitchen and the sink was leaking. The master shower was a bit too small.

Boat Parade!

We had a amazing time. We had so much fun watching the boats pass on the bay. Some of them even stopped on the sand bar. The location was perfect. Close enough to everything but still quite. Beach access was accross the street but crosswalk changed as soon as you hit the button. The beach was quite and the water was beautiful. A great girls trip!!

"Old River" has the action!

Wasn't for sure about the pick of this property and not having an ocean view as we typically seek out, but this was the best decision we made. So you know....there are ocean views out the front door! With this property, it was the best of both situations. A short walk across Perdido Beach Blvd and through the other Windrift properties allows for an un- populated area of the beach with beach service chairs and umbrellas as well as enjoying the views and activity of the Old River. The activity on the Old River was the unexpected find! Everyday starting in the am we were able to see the fishing and pleasure boats cruising bye...late afternoon into evening it was more of a boat parade and show. Anyway...we found this entertaining and fun to sit on the deck and watch. Awesome deck furniture by the way! The beds and furniture are all super comfortable and the condo clean and tastefully decorated for a bright beach scene vibe. The kitchen is more than stocked for creating meals if that is your preference. We do both! This condo had plenty of room for our family of five, three mostly grown children. Two full size bathrooms makes all the difference. Suggestions for an improved stay would be to install a curved shower rod to allow more room in the showers. I'm not one that likes the the vinyl shower curtain to touch me! The biggest complaint was the front door situation. It had its issues with not fitting flush with the doorjamb and a zero tension door knob which I feel caused an issue with the self locking door code entry system. We experienced several times where we could not get the door to lock upon leaving or unlocking when trying to get in. It would eventually work, though frustrating. This was communicated to the owners. Speaking of the owners, they always communicated in a timely manner....most times in just a few minutes especially after we took possession of the property. This is a property that I would recommend and stay in again.

Perfect!

The place is just as you see in pictures! Clean and very inviting. The beds were very comfortable. Plenty of room on the balcony for us all to enjoy watching the boats go by. Easy access to the beach. We even took advantage of using the grill for burgers one night. We had a wonderful visit and hope to be back.
