Unlike many other condo buildings in Orange Beach, Wind Drift is on a stretch of quite private beach. Neighboring a nature preserve, this beach will never be overcrowded, providing a safe and unspoiled beach for families and children. Wind Drift is a low density building with only seven floors, allowing elevators to travel fast and your wait time to be short. Our amenities include a large outdoor pool, pickleball, boat/jet ski parking, and a pier with boat/jet ski slips available to guests at a small fee. The setting of this condo is perfect, located just across from Perdido Pass on Perdido Key and Ono Island Bridge. You will enjoy all the wide open space you can imagine. Enjoy boating and fishing on Ole River, with boating slips at your disposal. Championship golf courses, great deep sea fishing, and fabulous dining are just a few of the things that await you.

Our two bedroom/two bath, top floor, Gulf front condo is a perfect spot for your family vacation. This is an extra spacious, top floor unit is furnished with top of the line furniture and professionally decorated. Our larger than average private balcony is a great spot to hang out and enjoy the gorgeous views of the Gulf of Mexico. This unit sleeps six. This newly renovated condo has a fully equipped kitchen, a gorgeous dining room, wet bar, and den. The kitchen is well stocked and very spacious. We have a comfortable dining table and eat-in-bar with comfortable stools. Our beautifully custom furnished bedrooms are spacious with inviting comfortable beds. We have a great King bed in the master, two twin beds in the guest bedroom. For your convenience, we also offer a pack-n-play, high chair, and booster seat. We provide TVs in all bedrooms and high speed Internet access so you can stay connected!!

Rest at the WindDrift
We had a great stay. The weather was great and so was the condo. It was clean and nicely decorated. The only problem we had was limited parking due to construction at the condo next door. We love staying at the Wind Drift and hope to visit again.

Great Location
Postives: The location makes the beach less crowded than other spots in the area. Check-in was easy. Unit is updated well. Negatives: Furniture appears to be outdoor furniture which is typically done to ease cleaning and increase durability, however, it's very uncomfortable. No place to put up your feet in the unit or on the patio. Bed pillows were flat and hard and scarce. Extra pillows were worse and only had zip on covers.

We had a beautiful view of the water. The condo was perfect for the 2 of us. Kitchen was perfectly stocked. It was a very short boardwalk to the beach and easy to navigate for my elderly mother. Lots of nearby restaurants. 10/10 recommendation.

Fall break
Property and condo are exactly as pictured. Both very clean and well maintained. Our third time staying at Wind drift and second at this exact unit. We love this location. Very quiet and relaxing. The only improvement-and it’s a stretch to find one-the sofa and chairs are not comfortable. But we spend so little time indoors it has almost no significance.

Too much trouble
The room was clean and the beach access was easy. It would have been just fine, but I received no less than 12 emails from the property group the day before I left and the on the day I was driving. While driving, I received alerts that they were going to cancel my reservation if I didn’t stop and send a picture of my drivers license. I got another notice with the same threat about something else. Once we checked in and drove to the condo I had to go online and pay for a parking pass as I sat at the entrance with cars behind me waiting to get in. The link didn’t work so I had to call and get help to get buzzed in. Property management for the condo said if I didn’t get it figured out within 30 minutes I’d not receive a code to get back in if I left again. It seemed rude and aggressive, especially since when I checked in they handed me my paperwork and said I was all set. I clearly was not. I think that the communication was excessive, could have been done in one or two emails and was utterly frustrating. The room itself was clean and smelled faintly of bleach when I got there. It was a nice condo and I have no criticism of the room whatsoever, but it’s not like it was the finest condo on the beach and I’ll not be back because I felt like I had to jump through hoops to get there. I also booked through the VRBO website because I was under the misunderstanding I was renting directly from the owners-not a rental company that couldn’t get their act together.

Great Vacation Spot
We had a very relaxing, quiet get away. It was spring break, but we didn’t even notice. The beach is private and was never crowded. Sliding door off of the master bedroom onto the balcony was my favorite feature. Highly recommend

condo owner "bumped" us from our stay.
6 days before we were to arrive for our vacation, the owner of the condo "bumped" us from our stay. we were told the condo was in perfect shape, the owner just chose to cancel our stay. Sad to say that I hear this happens a lot when the owner wants to stay or can make more money. Thankfully, we were able to make other arrangements and got to be on the beach.

Beautiful condo with glorious views of the ocean! Condo was spacious and comfortable with everything we could possibly need for our week long stay. We had 2 fairly major maintenance issues upon check in late Friday afternoon. Called property manager and they sent someone out within 30 mins, and both issues were resolved within the hour. A+ service!! Awesome location, quiet beach next to a state park. Great beach service every day with chairs and umbrella up by 7am! Will definitely stay here again! We loved it!

Amazing view, very responsive owner, and can't get closer to the beach
Condo was great for our 4 person family. It is kinda off the major area so the beach was never crowded. Balcony view is amazing and beach is steps away. It was clean but our toddler finds everything and there were some dusty spots under furniture, etc. The only small issues we had were the check-in/check-out and the parking lot. The ladies at the check-in office were great and actually waited a bit for us to get there, it just seems strange to have to out of the way to pick up keys when you are just ready to get to your condo. We go to the beach every year and have never had to do that. The parking was fine just really tight spaces and seems like they could use 5-6 more spots. Overall we had an amazing time!

Overall impression was good and we enjoyed our stay. Construction noises were bothersome. We rented umbrellas and chairs every day it didn't rain and it was very irritating for groups to come and set up directly in front of us, between us and the beach.
