Once again we had an awesome vacation at your beautiful condo! We enjoyed the conveniences of the ocean only a few steps away and the cleanliness of the condo.The clean-up crew made a special visit to make sure everything was in order. Excellent service and friendliness of the owners themselves, rather than a management company. All the comforts we needed.... More

To us this place is ideal. The condos are very nice and well equipped. We have stayed here several times and love it. One of the best things is you can walk to almost anything you Need to in Gulf Shores. Close to eating and shopping and right on the beach! Come here if you come to Gulf Shores!

Walk to the Hangout from the closest condo available. Views are spectacular, and units are updated. Great value. We rented a 2 bedroom 2 bath condo from an owner and found it more like an attached house than like a hotel room. The end units have windows to look east as well as windows looking over the balcony to the... More

This was our 6th or 7th trip in 7 years to stay at this complex. The unit we had this year was the best of all; but, all have been "good" or even better. Brett/Robinson Vacations is very good to work with and always responsive to any questions or maintenance issues. Highly recommend Brett/Robinson Vacations and Island Winds West. The... More

Tropical storm Debby brought about perfect beach weather and perfect water conditions to enjoy while staying at Island Winds West which we rented through Brett Robinson in Gulf Shores. On one note, I have used Brett Robinson many times and have always been given excellent service. This was our first time staying on the West side of Gulf Shores and... More

We stayed in unit 870, a three bedroom, 2 bath unit. Very large and we had plenty of space for our family of eight. The kitchen was a bit dated and could use some upgrades. Could have been just a bit cleaner. Building was well maintained with friendly staff. The only real complaint is no public pool restrooms. Therefore while... More

Stayed on the top/8th floor in a 2 bedroom 2 bath unit for one week. Great location and views overlooking the beach and pools. The unit was decent sized and seemed to be in good condition. Nice kitchen, very brightly colored bedrooms, and a nice modern living area. The air conditioning worked great and kept the entire unit comfortable. TV's... More
