Not terrible.

Overall we were pretty happy with the spot. My biggest gripes would be communication with Vacasa. I sent at least 2 messages and never got a response. Location is great and close to lots of awesome restaurants and fun places like The Hangout. Maybe a 6-7 minute walk.

DO NOT STAY HERE!!!!!!

These pictures look NOTHING like the property itself. It was rundown, no blankets provided (no comforter either), kitchen severly lacked basics ( I had to purchase my own skillet and roasting pan), horrible lighting, rusted vents, upainted patches in almost every room, hole in wall, obvious water leak down the walls of one bedroom, TV did not work in one bedroom, chunk of ceiling in shower fell on someone in my party, ceilings peeling off, stained couches, the information for WiFi was wrong and took days to recitfy. The owenr should be ashamed to charge $300 per night for this rental.

Good for last minute trip

The condo is average and is in need of interior maintenance (Sheetrock, tile, pictures off the wall, kitchen not well stocked). Couldn’t find an extra blanket in the unit and it was cool outside 50-60 degrees. Building is under roof renovation and VERY noisy from early in the morning and most of the day. The building management staff was snarky because I rented through Vacasa and not them; however, they were $200 more for same stay. The rental doesn’t include parking, an extra $58 for 2 cars. Beach and heated pool very close and not a long walk! Super nice and convenient! No bathroom downstairs, you must go wet and sandy back to your room. Location is perfect for walking to all amenities. Price is fair and would stay again.

Disappointing

There was extensive water damage in 2 of the bedrooms prior to our stay. The damage had not been repaired. There was no router in the unit therefore the wifi did not work. I had to spend part of my vacation calling about the internet and meeting a tech person so it could be fixed. The kitchen is poorly stocked and is missing very basic cooking tools like a baking sheet.

RENTERS BEWARE

From the pictures on the website this would appear to be a very nice property. What you will step I to is not like the pictures. The house is very poorly maintained and the cleaning staff was not the best. There is black mold in the closet in the bedroom with the en suite. That is an extreme hazard and this unit should not be allowed to be rented out until that is taken care of. There are plenty of wonderful accommodations in the area stay away from this unit !!!!!

Nice space!

Access to the beach was easy and a Walmart was close for little things we forgot. We could see beach and bay from the balcony. Plenty of seating, towels and pillows, and the kitchen was fairly well stocked. But lighting in the living room and bedrooms was terrible and whole unit needed painting to cover up previous water damage and wall repairs.

Terrible experience.

Was assured by Vrbo parking for 2 vehicles was included with this rental, only one vehicle was allowed when we arrived. Had to park 2nd vehicle 3 blocks away. Had no internet or Wi-Fi entire time we were there. Water leak in the ceiling burned up the router. Internet company wouldn’t fix it until the water leak was repaired. Internet tech lied to me, told me he would get us password for adjacent units Wi-Fi but never heard from him again. Water damage repair man had 5 fans and a dehumidifier going in the unit. You ever tried watching tv with that much racket going? Impossible! Couldn’t use the pool last morning we were there. Sign says it opens at 7:00 am but it was locked. Complained about it, they sent someone to unlock it and he said we couldn’t use it until he cleaned it. We pointed to the sign, he just shrugged his shoulders and said wasn’t nothing he could do about it. This is the typical attitude of everyone associated with this place. They just don’t give a damn! I will not use Vrbo or Vacasa again and I will never stay at Island Winds East/West again. Just an overall terrible place to stay and terrible people to deal with.

My beach trip

It's walking distance to the Hangout, Souvenir City, and several other popular places in Gulf Shores. I will definitely stay here again.

Location is why 3 stars

Location is about all there is to like about this condo. Everything else needs some work. Walls are scraped ,carpets ripped,tiles chipped, Patio furniture unraveling and very outdated.
