Beautifully renovated beachfront condo & steps away from Hangout & more! IWE308

Wait until you see these beautiful updates!!!

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 in December 2022 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If you're tired of outdated beach condos, this is the place for you.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, Samsung 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.

The parking “one” pass is ridiculous with 6 guest. The office personnel were rude! Location was great, but condo is not in the condition it states in the summary.

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.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
The unit was nice and clean. The shower curtain fell down and the drain was kind of broken in the second bathroom. Everything else was fine. Great beach view. Glad there was no one next door as it was not a complete wall.

Right on the beach
Nothing fancy but has the basics. Only issue was TV remotes not having all batteries. Enough space for a family of four and can’t get any better access just steps away from the beach.

This property is a perfect location for a great view of beach and pool. Easy access to beach, pool, and grills. Easy short walk to stores, and The Hangout. Bring your cleaning products. The floors and bathrooms weren’t clean. Overall, it’s a great rental.

Overall Experience
Cleanliness of the property was good. Overall experience with the front desk staff was poor. Was informed upon arrival to not come to them for any issues because we didn’t not rent through them. Parking was poor, unable to park more than 1 vehicle on property with a 2 bedroom condo that slept up to 8 individuals.

Not as pictured
My mom, sister and I booked a four day trip. I wanted to mention a few things regarding our experience at this property. I was really disappointed when we entered. It is grossly misrepresented in the description. The pictures are accurate but are obviously old. It states it is totally remodeled but it was done some time ago. The furniture and bedding is EXTREMELY worn. The unit was not very clean. Baseboards were dirty and due to the overall condition of the furniture and bedding it just felt dirty. The double beds were extremely uncomfortable. The front bedroom window has a nearby light outside. Even with the blinds closed, the room stays bright at night. A curtain would help. A fan was provided and was broken. Absolutely horrible nights sleep. The master bedroom and living room have a wonderful view of the beach. Great beach access. Centrally located. Overall, would not recommend.

Excellent description of this 2 bedroom 2 bath. Perfect for our family of 6. . Mattresses seemed a little worn and so did the couch. It was clean and the views and location was excellent. We would totally go back and stay it a few days longer!
