Serving as your gateway to the glorious Gulf of Mexico, the Island Winds East complex catches the semi-tropical gulf breezes that blow through and complement the naturally beautiful backdrop of pristine sugar-white beaches. Easy to get to from the highways yet tucked away in tranquility, Island Winds East is full of comforts and conveniences.

A true Southern playground fit to host an amazing Alabama beach vacation, Island Winds East sports the Gulf of Mexico and the City of Gulf Shores as a source of beach fun, water activities and plentiful entertainment and attractions.  

Choose to stay in, kick off your shoes and build sand castles with your family on the beautiful beaches, or sunbathe poolside at our onsite community Gulf-front swimming pool. Or, take just a few steps out the door and enjoy Gulf Shores’ countless shops, restaurants and perhaps even the annual Shrimp Festival.

While here, be sure to take advantage of Island Winds East’s ample amenities such as barbecue areas, free wireless internet and private balconies from which to watch the seagulls soar and the dolphins surf.
