Went to gulf shores for spring break and stayed at Sea Wind for the first time. Rented unit 604 on VRBO.com. Loved every minute of our stay. The parking deck is under the hotel so there is no long walk carrying luggage to get to your room. The room was beautifully decorated. The kitchen had everything you would need to... More

We were in unit 1902. We were worried because all we had read about waiting for the elevators, but really didn't wait longer than 5-10 min, but I don't think that there were very full. Check in was very quick and convenient. We were enjoying oysters on the half shell ar sea and suds right on the beach in front... More

We stayed the last week in March. It was pretty busy with Spring Break. The area is very high traffic outside so lots of cars going by. We normally stay in the West End area so it seemed pretty busy to us. Out unit was very nice and large with 3 bedrooms (including the bonus room). It was professionally decorated... More

We got a week over spring break for around $1,350. The units here are individually owned so they can vary pretty widely in terms of decor and maintenance. Some things are pretty standard like granite and stainless in kitchen and regular sized bath tubs. The views here vary in that units ending in 1 - 3 face kind of gulf... More

Great location & great views! If you don't want to see the roof of Sea-n-Suds, look out past it. Its too cool to have a beach front restaurant right there to complain about the view. Very good pools especiall for the kids. Good & plenty parking. Very good cleaning/service staff. Stayed in a 12th floor 2br unit & it was... More

Wow. I should have read the reviews before booking here. I thought the elevators were bad bec of Tropical Storm Lee. I'll be brief then: 1. Some poor schmuck always had to volunteer to get OUT of the elevator to physically shut the doors to get the elevator to go up. 2. If you drive anything bigger than a Honda... More

elevator issue as everyone is writing about is a major reason I wouldnt stay here again. The pool issue? I really dont get that I mean 2 things. 1 there is the gulf of mexico just yards away. And 2 it seems like to me the folks complaining didnt notice the indoor pool just steps away from the small pool... More

Condo was nice with beautiful view of the gulf. However, we were on the18th floor with only one working non-vented elevator , which is unacceptable traveling with luggage, beach supplies & children. The kiddy pool was very small and the indoor/outdoor pool was dirty. As a local, I've learned my lesson & will spend my $$$ elsewhere in the future.

CONS, We paid about $1k for 3 nights (Thur afternoon check in and Sun AM check out). Holy mack - those elevators are ridiculous! I made a mental note that when I get rich and buy a condo, to find out how many elevators they put in my complex. 2 elevators and 20 floors, probably 20 units floor at least?... More
