Never disappoints. The staff are very helpful and friendly. The condo is our home away from home. Easy walking distance to several restaurants. Can't wait until we come back again next year.

My family had a wonderful time! The condo was very clean! Very easy access to the beach and the pool! We really enjoyed having a kiddy pool for our toddler. Walking distance to places to eat and grab coffee. 10/10 we will definitely be back!

What a great stay! Condo was clean & as listed! Location was nice & parking was never an issue. Never had to wait long for an Elevator either. Communication was great as well. The patio furniture is way too big for as small of a balcony & could use an update! But overall we would absolutely stay here again. Thank you!

The condo itself was fantastic-the views can't be beat. We were excited to be able to park and walk everywhere we needed to go. The sidewalks along Gulf Place were perfect for taking strolls in the evening and restaurants and shops were just a few steps away. The condo was clean, Beach Getaways communicated everything I needed to know throughout my stay and check in and out were easy. We'll definitely be back!

Seamless Beach Stay!
by Barbara
5/5
We came into town to spend time with our grandkids, and staying at this condo was a real treat—especially getting a break from the cold weather back home. Beach Getaways was fantastic to work with from the start. The communication we received before arrival was clear, detailed, and genuinely helpful. They even checked in after we got settled to make sure everything was in good shape, which we really appreciated.
The condo itself had everything we needed, and the beds were comfortable—something you don't take for granted after a full day with energetic grandkids. The views from the unit were outstanding. There's nothing quite like sipping your morning coffee while looking out over the Gulf.
We enjoy staying active, and the beachfront sidewalks made our daily walks easy and enjoyable. The stretch along the water is clean and well-kept, with benches placed along the way so you can stop, rest, and take in the ocean breeze. It's the kind of simple pleasure we always look forward to.
All in all, this was a wonderful stay—peaceful, convenient, and handled with care. We wouldn't hesitate to come back-and book with Beach Getaways.

I would definitely recommend staying here 10/10. View is amazing from the living room area and master bedroom. Very spacious rooms. Master shower is amazing. Beds are comfortable. It has recently been updated. Never heard anyone above us or beside us which is a plus for me. Location is a 10/10. Walking distance for shopping and dining. You are literally steps away from the beach. We will definitely be staying here again!!

We have stayed at Island Winds West multiple times. This is in the top 3 convenient. Property management contacted us after check in to make sure the property was as expected . There was one minor maintenance issue with a door (which was not urgent, we were just making them aware of it) but someone came right away to fix it so the door would operate correctly. I appreciated that.

by Sandi

The condo was very clean and in a great location. The beds and furniture were very comfortable. We have 3 children so we wanted to stay right on the beach. It is steps to the beach which made it easy. We walked to the Hangout, Bahama Bobs, souvenir shop, and for ice cream on different nights. We will be back!

The view was beautiful. We have stayed at Island Winds West multiple times and like the property. I appreciated that Beach Getaways contacted us after check in to ask if the property was as expected. There was one minor maintenance issue with the primary bedroom door not closing. ( We were just making them aware) but they sent someone right away to fix it. We also appreciated the two beds in the guest room because we were traveling with our 2 grandsons and it was nice for them to not share a bed.
Great Unit for the Price
by Melissa

This was a clean, cute, and comfortable unit. It was just my son and I, but it could easily house the other two members of our family. I will definitely keep this unit in mind for our next visit to Gulf Shores.

by Van

Obviously located directly on the beach however even better as it was an extremely minimal walking distance to the beach from the condo. It was so convenient while carrying all of our beach necessities as well as to and/from the pool. It was a great family atmosphere for children. We enjoyed interacting with other families and children.
Perfect vacation and condo!
by Kim

I wouldn't change anything about our stay! The condo was clean and perfect for our family of four. The master bedroom was comfortable and had a beautiful view of the beach. The extra bedroom was nice because of the two full beds and our kids had their own bathroom. The condo is in a perfect location- easy to get to the beach and we walked everywhere in the evenings for shopping and restaurants. Would definitely book this condo again!

by Robyn

Calm, peaceful, on the beach. Loved going to sleep with the sound of the waves, and waking up to drink coffee on the balcony, watching the sun rise over the ocean. Everything was clean and tidy, exactly as advertised. We went in March and hit the cold snap. Beach Getaways quickly sent a Maintenance Tech to put the code into the digital thermostat so we could have heat. Enjoyed our stay.

Loved this location and all the new renovations. My 3 year old did well with such a short walk to the beach and pool. We were able to walk to shrimp fest and several places to eat dinner, which allowed my husband and I have some adult beverages. Overall amazing stay.

Beach Trip

5/5
Friends of mine traveled down here to stay for a few days. I surprised them with a condo on the beach, and we had a great time! The condo had plenty of room for the three of us and a toddler. I’m always a little nervous to book places I’ve never stayed in before. Sometimes the pictures look great online, but when you get there it doesn’t look the same. But this place was perfect! Everything was very clean and up to date. The check in/check out process was so easy. The condo is in a great location. There’s lots of restaurants and souvenir shops close by. Beach access as soon as you walk out of the complex. If you don’t want to go to the beach, there’s two pools-one for toddlers and another for older kids and adults. I will definitely stay here again!
Great Location!
