Property was right next door to the hangout festival was the only good thing. Well, that and the pool on the East building. Condo was extremely dated, like 50 years dated. For the high nightly rental rate, you would think the owner could afford to have the floors fixed, new furniture, new cabinets, better wifi, bathrooms updated or anything really.

Liked that it was on the beach & had a balcony. I liked that it had a washer and dryer. Had problem with toilet & TV they were quick to come & fix these. The place looked clean, but if you walked from the front door the soles of your feet were black by the time you got to the balcony. If you like to cook this is NOT the place for you. Hand mixer with no beaters. No cookie sheet. Didn’t even have large drinking glasses just juice size & 1 cup size. There were dirty dishes & silverware in the cabinets. It says sleeps 4, but the only room with privacy is the bathroom. I would not stay here with more than 2. There is a barn door in the bedroom, but it won’t stay closed. Condo is located by the elevator and the front door opens into the bedroom. This means you are trying to sleep near the elevator. I had to get ear plugs to sleep. I didn’t like that you had to pay a $45 parking fee.

Was not aware that the office is actually located at Island Winds East. A security guard had to show me where to go. That should be included in the check-in information. The ceiling fan in the bedroom did not work, so I called about it. I did get a call back, but the problem was not resolved before we left. I was told a new ceiling fan would need to be installed, but it had not been done when we left. I appreciated the call back and the update once maintenance had been in to check on what was needed. We did actually meet the owners of the unit and they were nice enough to bring a fan, a new fan at that, for us to use. We left that fan there with the box that it came in. Loved having the icemaker in the freezer... we like our drinks ice cold! The balcony was our favorite place to be! We did have to buy salt and pepper, which we left on the stove when we left. The first day, our eggs were bland without salt and pepper. I found it odd there was not at least salt and pepper there for us to use. Wonderful trip, great place to stay! No complaints.

Condo from hell!!!!!
Condo #271. I have stayed in condos several times in the gulf shores/orange beach area and this particular one has to be the filthiest one I have ever stayed in. Unfortunately this trip was a last minute emergency trip for a family member’s funeral therefore we had to book this one due to our budget and being the only one available for the days needed for our visit. I’m really not sure where to start but I did take a video upon check in and noticed mold in both bathrooms all along the showers and pulled the toilet tank lids off and discovered something that I have never seen in my life so bad!!!! Housekeeping here is awful. The accumulation of mold had to take place over months of neglect. Dirty dishes were put away with clean dishes. Light fixtures did not work. All the door and drawer handles were broken. There was so much lint in the laundry room closet that would start a fire with just a spark. The master bed frame was broken. Air filters has so much dirt in them they haven’t been cleaned for months.
