Other things to note:
1. Guests will receive an email after the reservation is made to esign the rental agreement and provide a guest list. When completing the rental agreement a copy of the primary renters drivers license must be uploaded to the rental agreement. Check in instructions and door codes will not be provided until this has been completed. Reservations may be canceled, at our discretion, if this is not completed within 24 hours.

2. Guests will receive another email after the reservation is made for guests to provide a credit card to put on file so we can place a security deposit hold, in the amount of $500, on 3 days prior to the check in date. We are an API integrated owner so we collect our security deposit hold through our booking software, not through the Airbnb or VRBO site. Check in instructions and door codes will not be provided until a security deposit hold is successfully placed.

3. We offer a contactless check in. The door code and check in instructions will be emailed to you 3 days before arrival as long as all required information has been provided.

5. Guests will receive a link before their arrival date to register their vehicle and to purchase their parking pass. Upon arrival guests will pick up their parking pass at the onsite office. The price of the parking pass is not included with your reservation with me. The office is open 7am-11pm daily. If you arrive after the onsite office has closed for the day you can pick up your parking pass the next day when the office is open. Guests that pre register their vehicles and purchase their parking passes through the link provided are charged a lower price than guests that purchase the parking pass from the onsite staff upon arrival. Island Winds West only allows guests to purchase two parking pass.

6.There is a souvenir shop across the street, Island Outfitters, that does offer paid parking there as well if you need parking for more than one vehicle. For more information on availability and price you can contact them directly. Unfortunately this platform will not allow me to share the phone number so google Island Outfitters near Island Winds in Gulf Shores Alabama and it will come up.

This is intended to get you by until you get to the store to buy the supplies you need.

I have one unit in the Island Winds East building and another in the Island Winds West building right next door so if you have a need for more than one unit feel free to reach out and we will see if we can get the dates to work out to accommodate your needs.

Perfect location to relax and get to know Gulf Shores, Al.!
We had a wonderful time during our stay at this lovely condo. The location is so handy and the views priceless!! Wanted a vacation to get away and “unplug” and couldn’t have been happier. We really had no issues for which we had to contact Terry. His communications were thorough, easy to follow and very timely! Our son and family came for visit and the two bedrooms worked out very well! Thank you for allowing us time in your lovely condo. Jim & Terri Glenn

Property was very much as advertised, perhaps even better. Views of the gulf were incredible, access to beach and pool a breeze. Unit conveniently close to elevator and well furnished. Master Bed was super comfortable and has two great windows to look at the gulf while laying in the bed. We will definitely be back in this unit in the future!

Fantastic condo at a fabulous location
We enjoyed our stay at Sit & Sea. This was one of the cleanest VRBOs that we have stayed in. The pictures are great but this place looks even better in person. We had everything we needed to have a good time. The walk to the beach was short. We drank our coffee on the balcony every morning and saw dolphins. We walked the beach each evening and enjoyed the lovely sunsets. We will rent this condo again when we return to Gulf Shores.

We loved our stay here! The location is perfect, steps from the beach where we spent most of our days. It is also within walking distance to so many stores and restaurants.
