WIND DRIFT AMENITIES Wind Drift isn't your typical Orange Beach property. This complex occupies one of the most coveted stretches on the Alabama coast—nestled between the Gulf of Mexico and Old River, bordered by a state park to the west. Translation: unobstructed sunset views, uncrowded beaches, and a location you can't replicate. The dual-waterfront setup means you're not choosing between beach life and boating access—you're getting both. First-come boat slips with direct river access across the street on Old River. A fishing pier where the catches are as good as the views. Trailer and watercraft storage for serious boaters. Two outdoor community pools with sundecks—one Gulf-front, one bayside. Tennis and pickleball courts for active guests.
ORANGE BEACH DINING & ATTRACTIONS Orange Beach offers an exceptional dining scene within walking distance or a short drive. Local favorites include Flora-Bama Lounge for live music and legendary Bushwackers, The Gulf for waterfront dining in repurposed shipping containers, Zeke's Restaurant for fresh seafood, Doc's Seafood Shack for fried Gulf catches, Louisiana Lagniappe for upscale Creole cuisine, Cosmo's Restaurant for diverse menu options, GTs On The Bay for bayfront views, LuLu's for family-friendly atmosphere with entertainment, and The Hangout for beachfront casual dining. Orange Beach has earned impressive national recognition. Condé Nast Traveler named it a top 10 beach in the United States for 2026. The Orange Beach Festival of Art won USA Today's #1 Best Arts Festival in the nation for 2025. The Hugh S. Branyon Backcountry Trail earned the #1 Best Recreational Trail in the U.S. for three consecutive years (2023-2025). USA Today also recognized Orange Beach with #7 Best Small Town Food Scene in 2024.

The condo was perfect. The elevators worked great. The location couldn’t be beat along with the view from the 7th floor. The beach was not crowded and really enjoyed the chair and umbrellas being reserved with our names every morning and not allowing personal tents and chairs to be placed in front of ours. Have been trying new places since Destin got so crowded. I think we’ve found out new favorite place.
I liked the notes about the condo the owner had in the kitchen.

Needs attention
Not wanting to trash this unit at all. It has such great potential to be a great place to stay except it needs some major attention. It needs to be cleaned out of personal owners stuff. A complete major cleaning from top to bottom. De-cluttering. Right now in the condition it's in I would not have this on my list as a place to stay again.
We absolutely loved the location! It was so quiet and peaceful! Very few people on the beach. We loved the nearness of the condo building to the gulf!- a very short walk! The condo was as described by owner. We found the unit to be very clean. The master bed is past due for replacement.
Would stay here again.
Enjoyed spending time with family love location of condo. Only issue was only one elevator working and one tv not working was but was fixed after contacting service person first time carrying my mom to beach she had great time and enjoyed herself condo could use a few upgrades but would stay there again
The condo was exactly as listed, very homey, spacious and well appointed. The only issues we had with the unit was that we could not get the satellite tv in the master bedroom to work, and there was no shower liner in the front bathtub.
This is our second stay at Wind Drift, and both times the elevators had issues. Not sure if this is an ongoing issue or if we just got lucky. Lol However the beach and pool areas were well kept, clean and not overly crowded. Overall this was a great getaway for us, and we will definitely be back!
Place was well decorated and very close to the beach. Great views.
The building is old and it shows in several areas. The master bathroom felt super small and dingy. There is peeling of paint in the master bedroom, kitchen. The cabinets in the kitchen have peeling as well.
Overall it was a great place for a few days. Loved the decor and approximity to the beach.
