Island Winds East 308 – Beautiful Beachfront Condo Steps from The Hangout!

Summary:

Beautiful renovation. Nicest condo at Island Winds East! Great views!



The Space:

Wait until you see this beautiful renovation!!!



Third floor condo at Island Winds East. Unit 308 has recently gone through a beautiful makeover with new paint, flooring, furniture, bedding and fixtures. This gorgeous condo is now even better, so come check it out. If this unit is booked on the dates you are looking for, the owner also owns Unit 202, which is an almost identical unit in the same building.



Renovated by an extremely detail-oriented owner and real estate developer, this 2/2 condo offers 821 square feet, a direct gulf view, and is on the 2nd floor of this low density building (87 total units).  This unit is situated right in the heart of Gulf Shores.  Located next to the new boardwalk and right behind the main stage at Hang Out Fest, you are only a 5 minute walk to the Hangout, the Pink Pony Pub, several surf shops and at least a dozen restaurants that are in the center of Gulf Shores. This is the absolute best location in town and the beachfront views are second to none.  This condo has floor-to-ceiling, high-performance windows, and sliding glass balcony doors for you to enjoy those stunning beach views.



The condo sleeps up to 8 with a king bed in the master bedroom, two full beds in the guest bedroom, and a queen-sized sleeper sofa in the living room.  



If you’re tired of outdated beach condos, this is the place for you.  This unit was completely renovated and is not only immaculate on the inside, but is also one of the nicest units in the entire complex. The following amenities were added during the renovation: 32x32 Volakas Polished Porcelain floor tiles throughout the entire unit, crown moulding, white shaker cabinets, granite countertops, a glass tile kitchen backsplash, stainless steel appliances, tiled bathroom tub surrounds (with a walk-in shower in the primary bathroom), new electronics, new kitchen and bath fixtures.  This unit is absolutely stunning. You'll love Island Winds East 308 and will want to return next year. 



Features include: Gulf front views, fully equipped kitchen, a convenient central location, gulf front pool, walk to restaurants and shops, Hang Out and Shrimp Festival favorite, stackable washer and dryer, Smart TV, and high-end cotton linens.



Complex Amenities:  Outdoor pool (heated seasonally in the spring and fall) and charcoal grilling area.



Be sure to book this unit early for the Shrimp Festival and Hangout Music Festival because it is in high demand. **4-night minimum required for Hangout Music Festival and Shrimp Festival.**

Communication was great! We got emails letting us know they were looking forward to seeing us. The emails kept us informed as of what to do and when to do it. The condo was very nice and had everything we needed for our stay. Property management kept a good eye on everything. Great view of the ocean to look at while we had our morning coffee. We felt right at home. The pool a nice size with plenty of lounge chairs. Clean and inviting! There were several different restaurants, ice cream options and shopping within walking distance. We will definitely book again!

Great location. Great communication. Wonderful gulf facing view. Clean pool with convenient clean bathrooms.Condo was updated very nicely but furniture in living room needs replaced. Cleanliness and support of the sofa and chair has long since gone. I only slept on the king mattress and support there was on the lower scale but it didn’t cause sleep issues with me.

Great place to stay

Very nice location, great neighborhood. The unit was nicely remodeled. Nice swimming pool area and direct beach access. The only issues were some mold on the shower ceiling in the master bathroom and the freezer had ice in the bottom apparently from the ice maker. Overall this is a great place to stay we enjoyed our stay!

Weekend trip

The location is excellent; located on the beach with a short walk to the hangout, shops and restaurants. The building is older but the unit is newly renovated and very clean. The one car limit is a little difficult and took some shuffling. Given that the room says it sleeps 8, one car for everyone and their stuff is impossible. Overall, it was a great stay and we would stay here again.

Double red flags

We enjoyed our stay even with double red flags preventing us from getting into the gulf for 2 days. Condo is in an excellent location. Tons of other things to do in the area. Beautiful views. Tip for future travelers: if you’re staying for more than 2 days with more than 2 people, go and buy an umbrella, and chairs. It’s way more cost effective than renting from Ike’s. If you’re driving in bring your own with you.
