Great Stay

Choose the wrong week

Love the location and the 3 bathrooms, but couches are dirty, unit needs some repainting and repair of doors, baseboards, and dryer could stand to be replaced. Worst was that construction was going on and our view was of plastic wrapped balcony railings. Had to stand up to see the ocean! For that I put the blame on the listing company not the owners. The company should know what is going on with the properties they handle. Availability should have been blocked. We did receive a two night refund, but would have been happier with the offer of another condo that was not being worked on.

College reunion

4 of us gathered for a college reunion. Windrift 501 is in a great location right on the water. It could use a little updating but everything was functional. We would rent this condo again.

Good for a quick trip-close to Florabama

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was perfect for our group of 8 for Mullet Toss weekend. Only 1 mile from Florabama. Dishwasher kept falling out from under the counter though.

Very relaxing

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our family stays at Wind Drift every year. The beach is quiet, and there is plenty of room to spread out. This unit was fully furnished with everything we needed for a nice, relaxing vacation. It was clean and spacious. The Liquid Life team was easy to reach by text, and check-in/check-out was super easy.

Love Winddrift

This is my 4th time to rent from wind drift. It is a smaller complex which we like. The condo was a bit dated but they had just added brand new living room furniture which was great. It was a good value for the money and we would stay at the condo again. The chair rental people are great. They put them up at 7 and down at 6. We were very thankful to been able to go to the beach at this time. It was great!

Rough around the edges

This property was clean. The beds were moderately comfortable. The couches were comfortable. However, there was mold on the shower curtain, mold growing on the ceiling, missing baseboards, peeling paint, poor paint jobs, and shoddy work all around-closet doors off the rails, upside down drawers and missing stick pulls on the door blinds. Not a horrible place to stay, but if you’re looking for “super nice” keep looking.

Family Vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Perfect condo on quite side of beach. Will go back again to Wind Drift 501. The only down side was we were excited this complex had access to boat ramp across street. We brought our boat but we’re unable to use this facility had to store in another location which was a inconvenience. But we definitely will stay at Win Drift again.

Older condo with a good location

Our overall stay was very nice. The view of the beach from the LR/kitchen is beautiful! It was spacious enough for our family of 7. It is an older condo is definitely in need of some repairs. Most issues could be overlooked for a short stay IF you are not fussy. However, something that needs to be corrected ASAP is that in two of the three showers, it was extremely difficult to turn off the water and to control the water temperature. The condo was generally clean with the exception of the shower liners which were covered in mildew and should have been replaced prior to our arrival.

Great view and location needs work

The condo was OK. The layout was nice the view and location was great. However, the place really needs some work. Faucets leaked, and didn’t work well. Especially in the master bath. Main bath tub doesn’t drain well. You’re ankle deep in water by the time the shower is over. Kitchen sink faucet need work. It’s hard to turn off. It’s mostly old and tired looking and needs to reinvestment. Also having to go buy my own toilet paper is really a turn off. One spare roll in each bathroom would be nice.

Not a good trip

Condo smelled very musty. Master Bathroom was not cleaned. Exterior entrance dood was looked like it hat been broken in to once and was not secure. Then the hurricane. And there was no emergency lights in stairs or Inside of condo. No back up generators. The retaining wall around the perimeter only keep water inside of the parking lot.

Dated condo

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Rented Wind Drift unit 501 for three nights. Pros: good location, nice size dining table, well stocked kitchen, great water pressure, nice living room furniture, fast elevators. Cons: musty smelling, poor dated small bathrooms, mattresses not great, no tv in one bedroom, no instructions on how to operate tv’s. Overall it was only ok. I expected more for the amount of money we paid. We would not go back there unless some of these things are addressed.

Could have been cleaner

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The unit needs a refresher and a deep cleaning. Living room furniture is dingy. The pull out couch had a cover that smelled of urine, we were missing sheets and a blanket for that couch as well. Bunk room was described as having bunk beds but there were two twins, making the room very tight. Floors were very dirty, some mildew in the master bath shower and ceiling, appliances worked but with issues - coffee maker had a spring loose in the top, fridge had a missing and a broken shelf in the door, oven light didn't work, can opener didn't work. No major tragedies except the urine smell. We still enjoyed our time despite the frustrations but the unit definitely needs some deep cleaning.
