This was a fabulous place on the beach, very clean and up to date on everything. The owners were great with any communication before and during our stay. We loved having a condo with recliners just like at home. It is within walking distance to several restaurants and shops, bags of ice available and a food truck onsite. This definitely a repeat place to stay for us!

This condo on the beach was absolutely perfect for me and my 2 sons. It sits on the beach and right in the heart of everything. I loved that we could walk to restaurants and souvenir shops. The hosts provided everything you would need to make your getaway pleasant, from all types of games, local guidebooks, all the kitchen essentials, beach chairs, sewing kit...which came in handy when I needed a safety pin. You can tell the owners actually took the time to think about what travelers need and they provided it. It was Extra Awesome that there were 3 beds/rooms 2 kings, 1 queen for adults who each had our own space. The condo was beautifully decorated and I thoroughly enjoyed lounging on the balcony watching the sunset over the beach. Communication was A both timely and friendly. I've already told others about this stay and will be booking with them again on my next visit to Gulf Shores. Thanks for making our mini-recharge Wonderful! Great Condo. Great Hosts!

Beautiful

We loved staying in your condo. It was so beautiful and the perfect fit for our family and the view was so amazing. Having the elevator right out the door was so convenient as well! We did find several items from the people that were possibly there before us under furniture and the floor had noticeably not been swept or mopped but the rest of the place was clean and beautiful.

Nice condo on the beach

The property was as expected based on the listing. It was a little dated but comfortable and mostly had what we needed. The elevators can be a challenge as there are only 2 for the property and the condo is on the 11th floor.

Elevators, tight parking.

Everything was as described. The biggest complaint was the elevators. They were working on them one day of our stay but it still took 20 to 30 minutes on days they weren't working on them at peak usage in the morning for the beach and dinner time. Parking is very limited and very tight.

Heck in was my absolute favorite. All you did was punch in your code and you were in the condo. No waiting to check in or out. Location was right off the elevator which was convenient. Accommodations were very nice while still making you feel at home. We had great weather even though the water was a little rough at the first of the week. Only let down was the size of the pool. It does have a great kiddie pool area but for my kids(14-11) the other pool was small. Still not anything to keep us from returning.

Great location!

We loved the condo and location. We saw dolphins off our balcony most mornings and got some good video of a small shark cruising by one morning. I love that Blue Sky jet ski and parasailing is right at condo, very convenient. My older kids saw a sea turtle on their parasail adventure. Our condo was very clean, spacious, and in a great location in the heart of Gulf Shores. Also, Sea N Suds restaurant is right on the beach by condo, which was the perfect dinner spot after unloading luggage on check in day. We know from past experiences, going to Walmart or the grocery store on check in day is brutal…..😆 We had a great vacation/Softball USSSA Nationals trip, and our 18U team ended up placing 3rd out of 21 teams, bringing home some hardware to Illinois!

Beautiful Oceanfront Condo with Thoughtful Touches

We loved our stay at this oceanfront condo! The middle unit offers stunning sunrise and sunset views, making it the perfect place to relax. Our mornings started with a peaceful four-mile walk or run through the nearby park and along the white sand beach—just perfect.The condo is well-stocked with quality dishes, glassware, silverware, and cooking essentials, including plenty of spices, olive oil, and salt and pepper. There’s comfortable furniture for four adults, and the kitchen table was great for meals and games. Speaking of games, we really enjoyed the selection of puzzles, books, and entertainment options. The décor was also very nice, making the space feel inviting.The patio was another highlight—plenty of comfortable seating and reclining options, perfect for enjoying the ocean view.Warren and Cathy were incredibly responsive and clearly take pride in their property. Our only minor complaint was that one of the beds was extremely soft, but thankfully, the third bedroom had a firmer option.A few extra photos of amenities like lawn chairs, a cooler, and the umbrella would really showcase all the thoughtful extras provided. One small tip for future guests—since it’s a VRBO, be sure to bring extra toilet paper, kitchen garbage bags, laundry detergent, shampoo, and conditioner, as only minimal supplies are provided.The TV and WiFi in all rooms worked well, which was great since our parents spent most of their time

Wonderful location!

We had a great stay in this condo; the location truly cannot be beat - walking distance to many restaurants and shops. Elevator quickness was not an issue for us at all; we rarely waited. This condo is located on the 11th floor, right beside the elevators and we never heard any noise outside our windows. It was nice jumping right off and being at your condo door. The condo was fully stocked and clean upon arrival. The owners were easy to communicate with and very responsive, always getting right back to me with any questions. We enjoyed the covered parking, but please note that the spots are TIGHT. My only complaint is that the heated pool did not work during our stay; this was a major disappointment for my kids since it was pretty cold outside. Understand this had nothing to do with the owners, so I am not taking away from my five star review; Warren was very apologetic, even though this was out of his hands. We very overall very pleased with our stay and will be staying at this property again!

Great for families

Great condo on the main strip in GS. The condo itself is just like the pictures, clean, and well stocked. There are ample seating options inside and on the balcony. The elevators are fast, and only upon arrival at check-in time did we have to wait for a long time. The worst part about the place was the tiny parking spots in the parking deck, but it was doable and there are outside options available for larger vehicles or people who don’t like to squeeze. It is walking distance to multiple restaurants and shops. The pools were perfect. We loved that there were multiple options for the adult pool with an indoor pool option and outdoor hot tub. The younger kids LOVED the kids pool and gave my toddler the confidence and fun stress free space he needed that he was able to start swimming! There were great little food trucks parked near the pools too. We love the beach any time/place but this was a cool spot with immediate access to banana boat and jet ski rides, parasailing if you are into those types of activities- and although they were super close, I didn’t feel like it impeded or affected the swimming space or safety for our family.

Perfect for 4th of July

Great condo with lots of amenities. Condo had beach equipment we could use as well as a “share box” on the ground floor of the building with beach toys etc. for the kids. Nice splash pool for kids on the property. The condo had nice pots/pans/utensils for cooking and comfortable beds and living room furniture. Nice washer/dryer. We watched the fireworks from the comfort of the balcony and did not have to fight the crowds. Great place!

Granddaughter trip

The place was clean and just as the VRBO described it. Close in walking distance to shops and restaurants. The view is awesome of the ocean we seen alot of Dolphins swimming out and back in. Everything you need to go on the beach they have available for you to use except a wagon. So just a little FYI pack a wagon it makes it alot easier getting items up and dwn to the beach. Cooking supplies and utensils are in pretty good shape also. I personally think this is a great place to stay. We would definitely come back.

The property was great. The location was right on the beach. The owner kept us informed of a water main break that might have affected us. Also, repairs to the parking garage. They had provided in the unit anything we might need! (i.e. nightlights in the bathrooms, scissors, sewing kit, post-it notes, etc) They were great.

Nice condo

Nice condo on the beach. We really enjoyed the view and the comfortable seating. The recliners indoors and the nice lounge chairs outdoors were much appreciated. I would have given it a five but there was a fire above us so we had some moisture problems from the sprinklers that lead to loud fans and dehumidifiers running in our condo for part of our stay. It couldn’t be helped but it was annoying. The owner checked in on us and kept us informed which was appreciated. The condo was nice and clean and kitchen well stocked. We would definitely stay here again.

We were there from 1/5/25 thru 2/8/25 unfortunately we were there through the snow storm. But our condo was perfect we couldn’t have ask for anything more. It was clean, well furnished, beautifully decorated, beautiful view, excellent location, management kept us informed of all issues on a timely bases. We just rent a house in Jacksonville and it is nice but the little extras provide d by our manager were non comparable. They thought of everything from games to books to pencils and paper to salt and pepper. We were truly happy.

Excellent unit

We vacation to the beach every summer, and this condo is by far the cleanest condo we have stayed in. Everything is just as it shows, no pictures are misleading. Seawind is perfectly located, as most anything is within walking distance. Owners sent all the information needed well ahead of time, which ensured we could promptly check-in at 3:00pm. Again, the unit was excellent, however, there are only 2 elevators and it's super hot inside them, once you are finally able to catch one. Sometimes it was a 15min+ wait. The pool is also very, very small for the amount of units this facility has. Those are the only negatives (and it's not absolutely horrible) which have nothing to do with the unit or owners.

About the host

Hosted by Cathy and Warren McLaughlin

Host profile image
Cathy and Warren live in Irving, TX and have three grown children and 2 granddaughters. Our daughter and family live in Ft Worth, TX; one son and family live in Princeton, TX; and one son lives in Austin, TX

Why they chose this property

Cathy and I always loved vacationing at the beach when growing up, and have taken our kids to the beach many times as they were growing up. We wanted our three grown kids to have a place where they could begin making their family vacation memories, and maybe invite us along once-in-a-while. When our family is not enjoying the beautiful beach, we want to share and provide the opportunity for others to create their own family memories in our home away from home. The Seawind property and amenities are unmatched and provide everything we hoped for on the beach. It was a perfect fit for the memories we hope to make with our children and grandchildren.
