My family has stayed at Island Winds East for the last 8 years and we have mostly stayed in Unit 308, a 2BR unit. The condo is located next to the city park and is within walking distance to the Hangout, Bahama Bob’s, and shopping in Gulf Shores. This is an older building, but is well maintained and the staff is very friendly. The unit is nicely decorated and is always very clean. We just got back from a long weekend and the unit has new tile flooring and flat screen TV’s in every room. This is a family oriented building and many of the people I talked to are repeat guest. A tip for getting lower prices is to look for special deals on the website.
