About this property

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

**Please note that exterior construction work is taking place during normal business hours through 4/10/25.**

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.

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.

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.

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.

Beautiful Condo and Perfect location

This was our first time to Orange Beach, we always go to Florida so we weren't sure what to expect. This condo is beautiful, the ice maker is a huge game changer, the short walk to the beach and the pool made it so nice! It is home away from home and we loved every minute! If you can go catch the sunrise it is breathtaking. Thank you for sharing your condo and we will be back!!

VRBO - great place, but the property needed wor

This isn’t the first time we’ve rented from VRBO, but this unit and previous rentals always need a lot of work. I feel that this place and previous rentals are treated like red-headed step children. In my experience the properties are treated like rental income/investments for the owner. Below is a list of things we experienced. If I owned a beach property, I know I would take a lot more pride in my home. - Washer/dryer door off the tracks-we put the door in the front closet so it wouldn’t fall on anyone walking in the door - Garbage disposal not working-had to call 3 times-when maintenance came previous renters had put glass in it and clogged it up - No wine glasses/enough ware-need a run of dishwater-glasses-measuring spoons etc -?Light bulbs not working(we’re working-people had untwisted…but cleaning people didn’t bother to turn back on) - There was hair left in bathtubs - Main clock not working - Corner lamp not barely working - All comforters are stained and could use washing - Could really use 2 double beds in front room Monday: - Never called us/returned call about garbage disposal… - Bar stool support leg is broken off chair (on at least 2 bar stools) - Lock box outside is rusted open and keys available etc (we would want to know) - Dish network tv not working-need better instructions for which tv remote to use eyc -Main bedroom dresser handle is off The location of the condo and access to the beach is great. I fill that either the support staff that manage this property are more worried about turnover in the summer and not willing to fix the little things because it might take the condo off the market for a day or two. I enjoy the convenience of VRBO, but the property owners and whomever else is managing them aren’t doing you guys a favor by keeping the property updated.

Perfect unit!

We loved the ease of access to the beach and pool! Having an infant with us, we could not have asked for a more conveniently located unit. The complex itself seemed to be undergoing construction/had damage from a storm or something, and the second bedroom in the unit looked like it was having some work done to it, but it did not bother us in the least, and the elevators did work (had read a few reviews prior to our stay that said they did not). The kitchen was well stocked with supplies. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and definitely plan to return!

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!!!

Decent condo for the price

We enjoyed our stay in this condo. The kitchen is nicely updated. We loved that there is an ice maker in the kitchen so we didn’t have to buy ice for our cooler the whole time we stayed here. The walk to the beach is short and mostly boardwalk, which is so helpful when you’re toting a wagon and a baby. A couple of negatives: there is mold in the master bathroom on the shower curtain, the shower head, and the walls. The water pressure is great, but it actually kind of hurts. My kids didn’t love taking showers (they preferred a bath) because the pressure from the shower heads was so high and stung a little. I would recommend updated shower heads to regulate the pressure. The cleaning staff did not bother to vacuum the rug underneath the coffee table so we had to do that when we got there so that our baby could play in the floor. Also, the internet is awful. I work from home and so when I am on “vacation” I still have to send out some emails and it was very difficult to do so in this condo. I had to use the hot spot on my phone most of the time. If you’re traveling with an infant, the master closet is the perfect size for a pack n play or play pen. We put our baby to sleep in there with the door cracked and it worked perfectly. Overall we enjoyed the condo, and I would give it 5 stars with a few tweaks.

Great location and amenities. Well-appointed kitchen.

This is a lovely unit in a perfect location. The kitchen has everything you need and the washer/dryer is tucked away near the entry. There is an issue in the master bathroom. The bathtub drain is stopped up and water stands above your ankles causing a dangerous, slippery surface. The poor drainage has caused mildew along the bottom 6 inches of shower curtain liner as well as up the folds of the liner. Not wanting to interrupt our stay waiting for someone to address this issue, we used bathroom cleaners and were able to remove the mildew. The standing water persists. This building has suffered water damage which is evident from the missing sheetrock in the entry and some units. However, everything was open, dried-out and didn't interfere with our stay. There is construction in the parking lot which causes many to use the overflow parking at the Windrift Building across the highway. There is no walkway, so one must walk down the highway to a crossover (which didn't work sometimes) to get past the heavy traffic. All that being said, we would stay here again.

Nice Condo

The condo in general was nice. There is some renovations going on but did not interfere with our stay. The location was amazing. The only negative thing is the property has very limited parking. The overflow lot is across a 4 lane highway which is not very convenient. Other than that we were very pleased with the property.

Highly Recommend!

Very clean condo right on the beach. Everything was included except for our food and drinks. Very high water pressure in the showers, it actually hurt, kids didn’t like that part. Super location to great dining, the Wharf, and only 15 minutes from Gulf Shores and about 5 minutes from Flora-Bama. Nice bbq grills next to the pool. My only gripe is parking...had to park across the street a couple times, not a major deal, but it may be for some people. Could watch dolphins and rays right from the beach!! Overall I would definitely stay here again.

Great Location!

The condo was right on the beach and had amazing view. It was stocked with everything we needed and the furniture was comfortable. With 3 kids, we appreciated not having a lot of trinkets and things that they might break! The only concern we had was that there was an obvious issue with mold and by the end of the week our allergies were definitely feeling it. Overall, we had a fantastic week that was very relaxing and enjoyable.
