SOUTH WINDS Unit #8

Our condo is in the middle of everything. It is 2 blocks from the "T" (the intersection of Hwy. 59 and Beach Blvd, at the Hangout). Park your car and never have to leave. Walk to The Hangout, The Pink Pony, Bahama Bobs, The Shrimp Basket and The Steamer just to name a few. There are also lots of souvenir shops also within walking distance. You can eat, drink and shop without ever getting in your car. How great is that!!

You get a great view of the white sand beaches of Gulf Shores right from the large front deck with no high rises to block your view. This is a small and quiet complex with only 12 units. Great for families and kids.

You can enjoy the large front deck with the beach views or sit back with a cold drink and watch the beautiful sunsets. You can also enjoy our small private balcony just off the living room with views of the beach also. This is a GREAT place for nice evening dinners.

It is an easy 1 minute walk to the beach with easy beach access. We have a cross walk and light just in front of the condo for your convenience. Just cross the street and your toes are in the sand.

To make is easy to tote the 6 beach chairs, beach mats, 6 beach towels and the beach umbrella that we provide we also have a beach cart. Did I mention we have a hard cooler and a couple of small soft coolers? No dragging all that stuff from home or having to buy it when you get here. WE HAVE IT FOR U!!

If you'd rather stay in and chill after a long day at the beach we do have a charcoal grill.
We have a few small appliances for easy meals also.

The kitchen is FULLY stocked with probably anything you would need. There are 2 great bedrooms with queen beds, HDTV's, and each with a roll a way bed for overflow. You have views of the beach from both bedrooms. There is a full bath with tub/shower combo upstairs and a full bath with shower downstairs.

If you like the colors of the sand and the ocean you will love this condo. It has soothing beach colors and is light, bright and airy. There is free WIFI and FREE covered parking for 2 cars directly under the unit. The condo is approximately 1150 sq. feet. There is a full-size laundry room with full size W/D. We do have a pool on site and also a shower beneath the unit to shower off after that long day at the beach. We have board games and cards for those unexpected rainy days.

The HANGOUT FESTIVAL is directly in the front of our condo. Streets are blocked off for walking to and from the festival with no traffic to fight. No driving, no parking fees and no hassle. Or if you prefer you can just sit on either deck with a cold one and listen to the live music and watch the people go by. It's GREAT!!

I know you'll enjoy it as much as we do..

Thank you for checking us out and we hope you find your perfect vacation spot..

Gulf Shores

We were in Gulf Shores for the Shrimp Festival. This property was in the perfect location, walking distance to anything we wanted to do. The shrimp festival was right across the road, we could hear the live music from the balcony, several restaurants close by, and the beach access was perfect! The condo was very clean, nicely decorated, exactly like the pictures. Neighbors were friendly, and offered great recommendations for anything we wanted to do. Highly recommend this property! Five stars all the way!

2024 Gulf Shores Juniors & NCAA Championship

Great location for our needs and I'm sure for anyone else's. Hard to get any closer to the beach and the Gulf Shores entertainment. Unfortunately, the NCAA Beach Volleyball Championship will be moving to California for a couple years. Hope that Gulf Shores can get it back after that and we would definitely try to reserve this condo for our next trip to Gulf Shores!

Short, but great trip!

This condo is fabulous! Booking, check-in, and check-out were simple and stress free. Sonjie and Danny are very responsive to any questions or concerns, and made the process simple with the information they provide. The location is excellent, as it is close to so much, especially the beach. The decor in the condo is absolutely perfect, fitting, and so relaxing! The kitchen has all the amenities needed, there are two full baths, and even a cot in each of the large bedroom closets. The pool is nice too, though we didnt utilize it during our stay. The extras that were provided like the beach buggy, chairs, and umbrella made our visit to the beach so much more enjoyable as well. The restaurants in the area were great and all within walking distance. Our favorite breakfast place is the Sunliner Diner! There is a Dollar General nearby too (next to the diner) for quick first-aid items or other last minute items. We sat on the front deck our last evening here just to enjoy the beach waves and the breeze before calling it a night. There are so many great things about this condo that my sister and I have already decided that we have to come back and book it again. I highly recommend this condo! It will not disappoint.
