    We loved the location of the smaller complex and the fact that the beaches were much less crowded than some others we saw while walking the beach. The room itself was well decorated and stocked with most things that we needed for our stay. We...

This one bedroom, one bath condo in Island Winds East boasts everything you need for your perfect beach spot. Located right next to Gulf Park, you are in heart of Gulf Shores! Walk to your favorite Gulf Shores restaurants, shopping and live music venues. (June and July reservations are 7 days ONLY and from Saturday to Saturday)
For over 20 years we have called the Gulf Shores area our happy place. Our first vacation here was over 20 years ago. We rented several places that were all unique in their own way. The area offered everything we wanted in a beach getaway. White sandy beaches, great golf courses nearby, plenty of fun restaurants, but most importantly, a quiet place to enjoy and relax with our family. What's a trip to Gulf Shores without a trip to LuLu's or the Tanger Outlets for great shopping. The area has it all. A beautiful white sandy beach just steps away from our front door. Then, you add in the outstanding amenities of our resort. When you rent from us, you deal directly with us. Not some big property management company who treats you as nothing but a number. We personally answer your emails and when you call you speak and deal directly with us. We personally manage the property and hire the concierge service and a turnover/cleaning person who will take the necessary time to prepare the property for your special visit.
Our restaurants offer the freshest of Gulf of Mexico seafood and provide ample variety. Whether you're looking for a low-key night out with pizza or homestyle southern food, or an upscale evening at a white tablecloth restaurant, Gulf Shores and Orange Beach have you covered. The region boasts great fishing all year round, and some of the best golfing of any town its size. Gulf Shores plays host to exciting events throughout the year, including the Hangout Music Festival, the Mullet Toss, and the Shrimp Festival. Stay any time of year and enjoy the temperate climate of the Gulf and unlimited beach relaxation.
