Photos and Description of the Gulf Shores vacation condo rental
2 Bedrooms, 2 Bathrooms, Convertible bed(s), Sleeps 6

Welcome to where home and beach meet. This 2 bedroom 2 bath gulf view condo is a vacationer’s dream. Tradewinds is in the heart of Orange Beach, and my unit #106 is conveniently only one floor above ground level !!

We want you to relax and enjoy our home-away-from-home. Our condo has the comforts of home but on the beach. The bedrooms and bathrooms have been professionally designed and decorated by an interior decorator. Granite countertops and updated kitchen cabinets, give the kitchen a modern look. Crown molding throughout the unit adds a touch of class to the condo. Relax, kick your shoes off, and watch your favorite movie or TV program on a 42 inch flat panel in the living room. Use the free wi-fi network to keep up with friends and family. We have done our best to make you feel at home. Our unit has a digital entry front door with private code, all new linens, and black-out drapes in the living area. Flat panel TV's and DVD players are in both bedrooms.

The beautiful Tradewinds complex sits directly on the gorgeous white sands of the Gulf of Mexico in the heart of Orange Beach, Alabama. Since our unit is located on the first floor, you do not have to hassle with elevators; just take one flight of stairs up from the ground floor. Two large bed rooms (one king & one queen), two large bathrooms and sofa bed comfortably sleep 6 people.

The complex features indoor and outdoor pools; the indoor pool is heated for the cooler winter months. The pool is a big wrap around pool which has a section that is covered for rainy days, and it is heated.

The location of the Tradewinds is perfect. We are in close proximity to scores of restaurants, shops, and amusement areas. You are in the heart of Orange beach, minutes from everything. The kids will love it because just across the street is 'Adventure Island.' Golf, water parks, zoo is just a short drive. You are only 10 minutes from the Warf.

Also, worth noting is Tradewinds has only 107 condominium units thus the beach is much less crowded than mega-condominium buildings. This is a 'gulf view' condo as opposed to 'gulf front' (which usually cost more). Gulf front condos actually face the beach while 'gulf view' condos usually involve having to go on the balcony to be able to see the beach from a side view.

My rates 'include' an 11% lodging tax, so the only additional charges are for cleaning and parking.

We want prospective guests to know that a portion of our proceeds goes to our foundation which supports missions and mission endeavors around the world.

This condo is 'ideal' - for one or two couples, or a family with 2 to 4 children. The condo is 'comfortable' with a maximum of six(6) people.

Such a great, convenient, beautiful condo! Very clean, so close to the beach. My two boys had a blast during the day at the beach and the pool. Having TVs in the bedrooms provided entertainment for the kids at night so the adults could have quiet time in the main room. Will definitely rent again next year!

We had a great time last week. Tropical Storm Debby gave us a scare the first couple of days there but then she moved out and we had a wonderful week. Larry's instructions were perfect. Five of us stayed in the condo comfortably. It was much nicer there when we left than it is here in Tennessee now. Hope we can rent the condo again in a year or two. Thanks Larry!!!!
Owner's Response: I am so glad the weather cleared up and you enjoyed your time at the beach. Do come again.

Perfect Week at the Beach

Our week was exceptional thanks to the ammenities! The condo is in excellent condition and we felt very at home. We cooked a lot during the week and I found the kitchen to have all my needs available. We had space to move around and not feel crowded. The condo was very clean as well. We played at the pool but were able to go back and forth to our tent on the bench easily. There were always chairs available at the pool no matter what time of the day.
We played putt putt across the street and had a great time.
We will be back!!!

~Perfect for your stay at the Beach~

5 of 5
Submitted: June 7, 2012 Stayed: May 2012
We looked at numerous condos and beach houses before booking with Larry (Tradewinds 106). Without talking to the owners or reading heavy reviews, we really didn't know what we could be getting.

We booked this condo for 2 adults & 3 children (8,11,& 14)-it was perfect!
Location was the biggest plus simply because the whole reason for going to the Beach IS the Beach and it is literally in your "backyard"...1 min walk and the pool is fantastic (beach chair accomodations & rarely crowded).

Parking is plenty @ Tradewinds & getting around is by far a hassle-the most we traveled was 20mins to get anywhere & that was by choice to eat-shopping all around within 5 mile radius, as well as, food.

Everything one could need for cooking & eating is provided in the condo (minus the food).

Larry's checklist of items needed is very helpful & should be followed-we took it to the store with us when we arrived.

The condo was very well maintained, as well as, Tradewinds property in general.
If there are any problems, the owner WILL respond & fix problems-only had trouble with the phone & he quickly fixed this.

Our life saver- WiFi in Larry's condo-awesome for down time & generous of Larry to provide it.
Bonus-property is on 1st floor and since the elevator does get occupied, the stairs are handy and accesible

Favorites:
Food-LuLu's (excellent food, fair prices & family friendly)-Hwy 56
Shopping- The Happy Shak =) Hwy 56
Souvenirs- Surf Style (best fudge)

Just sayin' tips-
*Use carts by elevator to transport luggage, groceries etc (property of TW)
*If it storms, beach can get a tad yucky-seaweed, dead fish

Going to the Beach is going to the BEACH-don't get wrapped up in a million activities because most of them are overrated & over priced.

IF you choose to do things & want ideas, the info center is left out of the condo & not far down on the right hand side.

I WOULD reccomend this condo & Larry's hospitatility!

Enjoy your stay @ the Beach & remember, you can never have too much sunscreen =)
Owner's Response: Thanks so much for taking good care of my condo. I am so pleased that your time at the beach was enjoyable.

We have been vacationing in Orange Beach for Spring Break the last 10 years. We always stay at the Tradewinds and try different condos. This year we rented unit 106 and was very pleased. It was nice to be one floor above the ground, we could just run up the stairs and not have to wait for the elevator. The keyless entry was a plus, never had to worry who had the key. The unit was very clean and nicely decorated. King size bed is master bedroom was so comfortable. Tradewinds is located close to everything. We would walk to Walmart or Plubix each morning and grab a bag of groceries. Adventure Island is just accross the street, so kids can easily go there. I highly recommend renting unit 106. Larry was great to work with and supplied us with all sort of information about Orange Beach.
