Gulf Winds Resort
Gulf Winds pool and surrounding area are excellent. Everything within walking distance. The room we rented was on the second floor, would not recommend for anyone that has joint problems. Had to call to get the refrigerator to work, it needs to be replaced. Light flickering in the kitchen. Biggest disappointment was no tv in the bedroom. Parking was easy.

Excellent location close to the beach
Overall satisfied with our stay. Comfortable beds, new indoor A/C unit, kitchen had everything we needed. Bathroom ceiling showed signs of a water leak from the unit above. The only negative was the bathtub calking around the edge where it meets the tile - moldy and should be recalked.

Quiet stay close to the beach
Clean 2 bedroom condo around the corner from the beach. The building was incredibly quiet (very few people staying in January?). Kitchen was well stocked with cooking tools. Great restaurants and coffee up the street. Perfect for a quiet retreat.

Patty is the owner she was amazing answered all my questions immediately. Her condo was just perfect. It is such a great location. The pool was nice and clean. My brother came up from Nokomis for 3 days and then our friends came from Davenport the end of the week. It was a perfect vacation. We walked to a lot of restaurants and did a little sightseeing also. Would definitely recommend this condo😊

FABULOUS location!
The location couldn’t have been better! The property was fine for what we needed. We struggled a bit with the lack of shade by the pool, mostly because other people “claimed” the umbrella tables - one of them leaving the pool area, but keeping her things on the table so no one else could use it - but that’s not a reflection of the property.
The only suggestion I would have would be to have area rugs by the bed.
Will definitely consider this property when vacationing here in the future!

Not what I expected
We didn’t have air conditioning for 3 days, 5 towels, 1 hand towels for 3 persons and a week stay. No view whatsoever, except for rooftop and air conditioning units. No balcony which we thought we were having. Pool was nice but no restroom facilities. I don’t want to be mean but I wouldn’t stay again.

Excellent choice in perfect location
Have nothing buy great things to say. We have stayed at the Gulf Winds many times because we love the location right across the street from the beach. This room was clean and well stocked and perfect for our needs. Communication with the owner was quick and seamless. The binder or instructions for the TV and Internet were perfect and we had no issues. We had a lovely and relaxing week. We wouldn’t hesitate to rent this condo again. Thank you for the wonderful stay!

Everything worked great. Would have booked for next year but was already booked, much to my dismay. Thought that current renters get first shot at unit for next year like when you go thru Theresa management agency. Very comfortable beds.

Great location. Walking distance to the beach and many bars and restaurants. Pictures and description were accurate. Very comfortable beds and soft sheets. If you prefer to eat in, the kitchen had no mixing bowls or casserole dishes with lids so I had to buy my own.

Disappointing
The facility and grounds as a whole were very good!! Our unit was lacking in many areas. The kitchen was not complete by a long shot and the internet was ridiculous. I reset it repeatedly and continued to get bumped off. Communication was fine but didn't resolve much.
