Island Winds East 111 Your Gulf Shores Escape by Prickett Properties
Location, location, location! A favorite comment about this condo is that it is located on the first floor above beach level, right beside the open steps with only one neighbor's door close by. No reason to walk and wait for the elevator! There is no better location on the beach than being right next door to the Festival and Beach District of Gulf Shores, AL. It is just a short walk from your 111 Island Winds East condo to the Hang Out, restaurants, shopping, entertainment, and the various seasonal festivals.

This spacious (1,000-square-feet plus) 3 bedroom, 2 bath condo has all new mattresses/box springs and bed linens, new flooring in all bedrooms, new smart HD TV's in each bedroom. There a king size bed in the master, two fulls in bedroom #2 and a queen in bedroom #3. Both updated tiled baths with granite counters have shower/tub combos. Kick back on the balcony and enjoy the Gulf breeze and view-all new comfy seating including pub table and chairs. Island Winds has an inviting Gulf-side pool that is heated seasonally from fall through spring and charcoal grills with outside seating. When relaxing from sun and surf, the spacious family room with walls of windows and a large screen TV is open to the newly painted kitchen with granite countertops -- perfect for family and friends gatherings.

Convenient location and no problems other than the dryer would not work. They did send a repairman out but it was unreliable.

Location was great, clean, pool was good!Wifi was out 1/2 the visit-in future you should have maintenance put a sign on door-scared the crap out of me when I was putting the door code in. Nice guy, but some sort of communication that he was there would have been beneficial.When windy the glass sliding door when closed whistles loudly, very disturbing to sleep!The bedroom next to utility room was loud when furnace kicked on, not sure a suggestion.

This spot is a great location to the beach a few steps away and also walking to restaurants. We loved the little pink spot across the street in the morning. You can get to go drinks! We also walked to the shops, the hang out, ice cream shops, etc. most things are within 5 to 10 min walk. Beds were comfy too!

Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear you loved the location and all the nearby attractions. It sounds like you had a great time exploring the beach, shops, and enjoying those morning drinks at the pink spot! We're also happy to know the beds were comfy for a restful stay. We’d love to welcome you back anytime—hope to see you again soon!
Great location- easy quick walk to the beach, walking distance to restaurants and shopping. The building is clean and seems to be well kept. Need to able to purchase two parking permits not one, if the room sleeps up to 8. The rooms are clean, spacious and have comfortable beds. The bathrooms need to be updated not only for cosmetic but for cleanliness. The overall stay was good and we enjoyed being close to the beach, walking distance to restaurants and shopping.
Easy booking process and great to work with. Our family definitely enjoyed our time here and would not hesitate to stay here again.

HI Jamelia, thank you for your review! We're so happy to hear that your family enjoyed vacationing at Island Winds East, and we hope you return sometime soon!
Proximity was AWESOME! Loved how close it was to everything! Super easy check-in online with the app. Bedrooms were nice and spacious. Wish it would’ve been a DIRECT view of the water, but not complaining at all, could see it all from the balcony. 2 families, 3 adults and 2 teens total and had plenty of room. Super quick up a flight of stairs so no fuss with the elevator. Down the stairs and right to the beach! We took a VERY short walk to restaurants so was great not having to take the car everywhere. Only downside is only having 1 parking pass allotted for this unit (but worked out ok for us as we all rode in 1 large vehicle). Never had an issue finding a parking spot. AC worked great! Would definitely book again!
Fabulous location, extremely clean and comfortable, quiet too! The only negative I could mention is the complex is slightly dated and the bathrooms could use updating but nothing that made a big difference to us We had a great stay- would definitely book again

Grandparents, son, and granddaughter stayed over July 4 week. Island Winds East is an older property that is well maintained. The biggest asset is LOCATION! Right on the beach and with easy access. With regard to this specific property, we loved that it was a 3 bedroom with 2 full size beds in one of the bedrooms. The pictures do not do this justice. This condo is spacious! There was plenty of seating, both inside and outside. The property management team was easily accessible. If we decide to come back to Gulf Shores again next year, we will definitely try to book this unit! Thank you for a great stay!
