A Wave From It All @ Seawind 802

It was simply the best stay after this pandemic, ever...Everything we needed was there, like home...With no contact from staff to worry about...There was an elevator attendant...Eateries were in walking distance, if we had wanted to & entertainment...We had the most relaxing & fun time!!!

We had a great time staying at A Wave from it All. Cute place, nice kitchen, loved having a washer and dryer in the condo. Being right on the beach and super central to Gulf Shores was so convenient. The pool was great, the kids had a blast using it when the ocean was too rough to play in. The only downside was the fact that one of the two elevators seemed to always be broken. This isn’t the condo owner’s fault, of course, but it does impact the stay and the convenience factor.

This condo was super clean and spacious. All the amenities were available with washer and dryer in the condo a 24 hour self serve ice machine available in the garage. My family if 6 stayed comfortably with 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms. It was centrally located on the strip. The Hanout and other popular eateries were in walking distance. We would highly recommend this condo.

The ease of booking and checkin were amazing. The staff at Aqua was quick to reply anytime I had questions. The condo was in a good location and the decor was nice and updated. The only reason problem we had was with the elevators. One elevator was down but they got it fixed during our stay.

Place is very nice. Prob is a checked in advance that all amenities would be open. They said yes. Upon arrival they say pool is closed and they are roofing the building next door and painting ours. So no.pool, to windy to go in the gulf, double red flag. so we get no water. Workers started at 745am every morning of our stay. Have paint on my car. right now from the painters. Parking is terrible here. Spots are small and not enough.Other than that is seemed to be a nice facility. Condo was really nice

My family and I were extremely pleased with our stay here at Seawind # 802. The condo was just as beautiful as described. Very clean and close to all activities. We loved being close to our favorite restaurant, Sea-n-suds. Communication with the property owners and management was excellent! We hope to definitely stay here again one day!

There are 20 floors and one operational elevator. Had to take the stairs the entire stay even when hauling luggage and groceries. The condo wasn't fully clean... Fan blades had thick dust, blankets had hair all over them, etc. The light in the master bathroom didn't work. We called the property mgmt company about it after arrival and they said a work order had already been submitted but no one ever came to fix it. The common areas (pool and splash pad) have a lot of deferred maintenance that requires TLC.

The unit was nice, the cleaning service may need to be checked in on though. There were several dirty dishes put away in the kitchen, there was sand in one of the beds like the sheets hadn't been washed. Also, the elevators in this building are terrible. 20 flights of condos and only 2 elevators is pretty rough. One day we waited 45 minutes for an elevator. We would have just taken the stairs but we were on the way to the beach with a wagon full of stuff and 3 kids so it was impossible for us to take the stairs. We had a great vacation, despite the few hiccups, overall.
