Beautiful Oceanfront Condo with Thoughtful Touches

We loved our stay at this oceanfront condo! The middle unit offers stunning sunrise and sunset views, making it the perfect place to relax. Our mornings started with a peaceful four-mile walk or run through the nearby park and along the white sand beach—just perfect.The condo is well-stocked with quality dishes, glassware, silverware, and cooking essentials, including plenty of spices, olive oil, and salt and pepper. There’s comfortable furniture for four adults, and the kitchen table was great for meals and games. Speaking of games, we really enjoyed the selection of puzzles, books, and entertainment options. The décor was also very nice, making the space feel inviting.The patio was another highlight—plenty of comfortable seating and reclining options, perfect for enjoying the ocean view.Warren and Cathy were incredibly responsive and clearly take pride in their property. Our only minor complaint was that one of the beds was extremely soft, but thankfully, the third bedroom had a firmer option.A few extra photos of amenities like lawn chairs, a cooler, and the umbrella would really showcase all the thoughtful extras provided. One small tip for future guests—since it’s a VRBO, be sure to bring extra toilet paper, kitchen garbage bags, laundry detergent, shampoo, and conditioner, as only minimal supplies are provided.The TV and WiFi in all rooms worked well, which was great since our parents spent most of their time

The property was great. The location was right on the beach. The owner kept us informed of a water main break that might have affected us. Also, repairs to the parking garage. They had provided in the unit anything we might need! (i.e. nightlights in the bathrooms, scissors, sewing kit, post-it notes, etc) They were great.

Nice condo

Nice condo on the beach. We really enjoyed the view and the comfortable seating. The recliners indoors and the nice lounge chairs outdoors were much appreciated. I would have given it a five but there was a fire above us so we had some moisture problems from the sprinklers that lead to loud fans and dehumidifiers running in our condo for part of our stay. It couldn’t be helped but it was annoying. The owner checked in on us and kept us informed which was appreciated. The condo was nice and clean and kitchen well stocked. We would definitely stay here again.

We were there from 1/5/25 thru 2/8/25 unfortunately we were there through the snow storm. But our condo was perfect we couldn’t have ask for anything more. It was clean, well furnished, beautifully decorated, beautiful view, excellent location, management kept us informed of all issues on a timely bases. We just rent a house in Jacksonville and it is nice but the little extras provide d by our manager were non comparable. They thought of everything from games to books to pencils and paper to salt and pepper. We were truly happy.

Excellent unit

We vacation to the beach every summer, and this condo is by far the cleanest condo we have stayed in. Everything is just as it shows, no pictures are misleading. Seawind is perfectly located, as most anything is within walking distance. Owners sent all the information needed well ahead of time, which ensured we could promptly check-in at 3:00pm. Again, the unit was excellent, however, there are only 2 elevators and it's super hot inside them, once you are finally able to catch one. Sometimes it was a 15min+ wait. The pool is also very, very small for the amount of units this facility has. Those are the only negatives (and it's not absolutely horrible) which have nothing to do with the unit or owners.

Elevators were horrible and pool was way to small

We stayed for 8 days and the whole time was a night mare trying to get back up to the condo and down to the car to go anywhere due to only one set of elevators. On our last day there only one of them were working and we had to wait over 30mins to get down to our car to go eat. When we arrived back from eating we couldn’t even get in the door of the lobby for the elevators and we had to take the stairs to the 11th floor. Which was really hard with someone with health issues. The only other thing I will say is the pool is super small and was over full every time we wanted to get in it.

Seawind 1106

We had a great vacation , the property was stocked well with dishes and games and we enjoyed the 2 recliners, however the floors were dirty and turned our feet black everyday which is just something that needs to get addressed to housekeeping, there is also no tv in the 3rd bedroom with a queen bed which was manageable but we had our 2 teen daughters in that room and they had their phones but little ones might like a tv and on the last night about 1am all of the smoke detectors faulted and went off , got in touch with the owner super quick and it was resolved but other than that we had a nice stay! We’ve stayed at Seawind for the past 15 years and this was one of the better condos

Great condo in a perfect location!

Our family stayed here in October 2023. We came down for our fall break from northern Kentucky. The condo was clean on arrival and had everything we needed to get our week started. Our kids (6 & 3) shared a room, my wife and I had another, and my parents had the third. It was roomy, well kept, and had a private walkway from the ground floor to the beach. The splash pad was perfect for our kiddos (especially the 3y old). Being close to route 59, we were within about 10 minutes of literally everything to do in gulf shores and orange beach! We loved being able to wake up and sit on the balcony each morning and view the ocean. The owners made communication, booking, and check in, super easy and we’re very quick to respond to any questions we had. This room is right by the elevator which was perfect for my parents, so they didn’t have to walk to far to the room. Overall, we had a great stay and would highly recommend this condo and owners!

We loved staying in your condo. It was so beautiful and the perfect fit for our family and the view was so amazing. Having the elevator right out the door was so convenient as well! We did find several items from the people that were possibly there before us under furniture and the floor had noticeably not been swept or mopped but the rest of the place was clean and beautiful.

Great location!

We loved the condo and location. We saw dolphins off our balcony most mornings and got some good video of a small shark cruising by one morning. I love that Blue Sky jet ski and parasailing is right at condo, very convenient. My older kids saw a sea turtle on their parasail adventure. Our condo was very clean, spacious, and in a great location in the heart of Gulf Shores. Also, Sea N Suds restaurant is right on the beach by condo, which was the perfect dinner spot after unloading luggage on check in day. We know from past experiences, going to Walmart or the grocery store on check in day is brutal…..😆 We had a great vacation/Softball USSSA Nationals trip, and our 18U team ended up placing 3rd out of 21 teams, bringing home some hardware to Illinois!

Heck in was my absolute favorite. All you did was punch in your code and you were in the condo. No waiting to check in or out. Location was right off the elevator which was convenient. Accommodations were very nice while still making you feel at home. We had great weather even though the water was a little rough at the first of the week. Only let down was the size of the pool. It does have a great kiddie pool area but for my kids(14-11) the other pool was small. Still not anything to keep us from returning.

Spring Break 2023

The condo and the location are both perfect. We have traveled to other beach spots and this condo was the best furnished condo we have stayed at. The location was fantastic. So much to do within walking distance. There were 4 families of teens traveling together and we were very comfortable with giving them some freedom to stay out in the evening. It all felt very safe.

About the host

Host profile image
Cathy and Warren live in Irving, TX and have three grown children and 2 granddaughters. Our daughter and family live in Ft Worth, TX; one son and family live in Princeton, TX; and one son lives in Austin, TX

Why they chose this property

Cathy and I always loved vacationing at the beach when growing up, and have taken our kids to the beach many times as they were growing up. We wanted our three grown kids to have a place where they could begin making their family vacation memories, and maybe invite us along once-in-a-while. When our family is not enjoying the beautiful beach, we want to share and provide the opportunity for others to create their own family memories in our home away from home. The Seawind property and amenities are unmatched and provide everything we hoped for on the beach. It was a perfect fit for the memories we hope to make with our children and grandchildren.
