My family has been going to Gulf Shores for about 10 years. The last several trips we have stayed at Island Winds East and have settled in on staying at Unit 308. The condo is located right on the beach and is walking distance to The Hangout, shops and places to eat in Gulf Shores. The building is not a... More

My wife and I researched quite a few hotel spots before vacationing to Gulf Shores and we both decided that renting Island Winds East through Brett/Robinson Vacations would be the right one for us. Overall I have to say we have been very pleased with every aspect of our stay. The room itself is very nice and well set up... More

We have been coming to Gulf Shores since1995. We started our vacation in another rental-which is another story. In 1998 we began going thru Brett Robinson & staying at Island Winds East which turned out to be really great. Over the years we have stayed in different condos at IWE, according to the size of our family at the time.... More

IWE is the first condo from "the" redlight & is the perfect location for getting around quickly. Walking to attractions like The Hangout, Souviner City, & Pink Pony Pub is done very easily. We (5) stayed in room 209, & were very comfortable. Rooms have plenty of room for a family, & bathrooms are adequate. Kitchen is compact, but is... More

Before booking this trip I had my travel agent call to make sure we had a beachfront view, we were assured we did. Our balcony overlooked the parking lot. When we called about this we were blown off by the lady at the front desk, basically being told that it was not her problem. We then went down to the... More

Beautiful view, great location, great price. The bedroom had no door. If you have kids this is a big negative. The hot water runs out very quick. The bath drain is slow. There was a little too much night noise. Would be ok for a honeymoon or empty nest couple. Unit #206

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... More
