The location was perfect for the volleyball tournament. We had a great time and would come back to visit for sure! Besides having to bring our own beach towels, all of the accommodations were perfect!
Condo was clean and well kept. View of the Gulf was awesome from the large balcony. Walking distance to main attractions.
Only negative was there was a $50 parking fee for renters and guest.

Thank you for the great review, Matt. We're so glad you had a wonderful time. Island Winds has one of the best locations on the beach-so close to everything. Parking is a common sticking point around here-it's scarce and the HOAs charge $50 or more per pass. We hope that didn't put too much of a damper on your trip. We can't wait to welcome you back again soon!
The Condo itself is great. The parking sucked. $50 per parking pass and maximum of 2. I have stayed at many condos/hotels and NEVER had to pay for parking after already paying for the room itself. My father in law had to park next door in a paid parking lot as well because they refused to give us 3 passes for our lot and his was cheaper than ours!!!! I doubt we will be back.
