Condo 1207 was booked along with another for our family vacation. This condo was 3 bed 2 bath.Its in great location beach front and close to the hangout, surf style and plenty of places to eat. The mattresses in both bedrooms were not soft at all, they were like sleeping on plywood., we got very little rest . The towels were worn and also stiff. The place itself is nice , the decor is simple but has everything you need for a good stay except a kurig coffee maker . Parking during our stay was a nightmare, we had to pay 55 for two extra passes only to not have parking because of deck construction. We were there a week and it was still happening as we left. The pool was hot because the hot tub leaking into it and with 102 degrees weather no one likes a toasty pool. There is two elevators and one was not working so we had to walk down 12 flights of stairs or stay in all day and lose a beach day. .. Overall the condo was good and building good but Both could use some work.

“Great place, but the elevators will keep me from going back…”

The condos at Seawind are great (at least ours was anyway… I know each unit is independently owned & furnished). We stayed on the 5th floor which I thought had a perfect view of the beach.

The condos at Seawind are great (at least ours was anyway… I know each unit is independently owned & furnished). We stayed on the 5th floor which I thought had a perfect view of the beach. Our condo was very clean, well maintained and nicely decorated. We did have to get some extra toilet paper, trash bags, toilet paper, laundry pods & hand soap for our 5 day stay at the store, as what they provide to guests is minimal. But if you’ve ever stayed in a beach condo that is pretty common. We really had no complaints at all about the condo itself but I don’t think we will ever stay at Seawind simply because of the elevator situation. There are only 2 elevators for the entire building, and I’m not sure if 1 even worked the whole time we were there. It was hard finding an elevator to get us up to our room with all of our stuff when we first arrived, and it was nearly impossible when we left. We literally waited 30 minutes for an elevator that could fit our party of 4 and all of our luggage. Trying to haul all our stuff to the beach each day was no different. We ended up just taking the stairs each day going down and then waiting 10 minutes or so to be picked up from the ground level floor each day. This may seem like not a big deal to some people but from reading the other reviews I'm not the only one who sees this as a problem. I will also say that the pool area is pretty run down, but we came to Gulf Shores for the beach anyway.
