ABOUT THIS RESIDENCE

The Stay Experience

Experience Orange Beach paradise at Wind Drift 115N, a recently renovated 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom (plus sleeper sofa) bayside condominium that sleeps 8 guests. Located in 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, this retreat offers unobstructed sunset views, uncrowded beaches, and the kind of location you can't replicate. Your Orange Beach waterfront escape includes Gulf beach access, Old River access with boat slips, two outdoor pools, tennis and pickleball courts, and everything you need for an unforgettable Alabama Gulf Coast vacation.

Wind Drift occupies a unique dual-waterfront position that sets it apart from typical Orange Beach properties. You're not choosing between beach life and boating access—you're getting both.

Verified Reviews

★★★★★

“Staying at Wind Drift was the highlight of our summer! Having the boat slips on Old River and the sugar-white beach right across the street gave us the best of both worlds. Spotless condo and Coastal Link was so responsive.”

Emily & David H.Verified Guest · Summer Stay
★★★★★

“As someone who brings a 24ft boat down every year, you cannot beat the bayside launch and slip access. Booking directly through Coastal Link saved us hundreds in VRBO platform fees with zero hassle.”

Jason M.Verified Guest · Boating & Inshore
★★★★★

“Unobstructed views across Old River from the balcony, peaceful mornings, and Caroline Jordan made check-in seamless. The direct booking process was quick, transparent, and easy.”
