Size –
1 Bedroom • 2 Bathrooms 2 Baths • Sleeps 5-8Welcome to your perfect beach escape at the Tradewinds Condominiums in beautiful Orange Beach, Alabama — a place where the rhythm of the waves, the glow of the Gulf, and the gentle salt air invite you to slow down and truly relax. Perched on the 12th floor of this well-loved 13-story beachfront building, this charming one-bedroom, two-bath condo offers a rare combination of comfort, convenience, and stunning scenery that keeps guests returning year after year.
From the moment you step inside, you’ll feel at ease. The open and airy layout welcomes you with soft coastal tones and thoughtful touches designed to make your stay as pleasant as possible. Large windows frame sweeping views of the Gulf of Mexico, and the private balcony offers a front-row seat to the ever-changing seascape. Start your morning with a cup of coffee as the sun rises over the water, or unwind in the evening while the sky turns shades of pink and gold. With ample space on the balcony for a table and several chairs, it’s the perfect spot for a leisurely breakfast, a family game night, or simply listening to the calming sounds of the surf.
This condo comfortably sleeps up to 8 guests: 6 adults and 2 children. The condo features; 1 King bed, 2 queen-size beds; 1 Murphy bed and sofa sleeper in the living area, Hall bunk bed for children, 2 full bathrooms.
This condo is ideal for families, couples, or small groups. The spacious bedroom provides a cozy retreat after a long day in the sun, while the two full bathrooms offer added convenience — a feature that is relatively rare in a one-bedroom beachfront unit and especially appreciated by families with children. A new coat of paint, new furniture throughout, and recently updated major appliances, including the in-unit washer and dryer, ensure that your stay feels effortless, whether you’re visiting for a long weekend or settling in for an extended winter escape.
Step outside the building and you’ll find direct access to the sugar-white sands of Orange Beach via a secure, locked gated walkway. In just moments, your feet can be in the warm sand and your worries carried away by the gentle Gulf breeze. When you’re not enjoying the shoreline, take advantage of the resort-style amenities offered at Tradewinds. Two swimming pools await — one outdoors for sunny afternoons and a convenient pass-through to a heated indoor pool for cooler days or evening dips. There’s also a welcoming picnic area with tables and large grills, perfect for family cookouts and casual gatherings after a day of seaside fun.
Location is everything, and this condo places you close to some of the area’s most popular attractions and dining options. Within just 1.6 miles, you’ll find Adventure Island, Alvin’s Island, Doc’s Seafood and Steaks, Wolf Bay at Orange Beach Restaurant, Starbucks, The Ruby Slipper, Ristorante Carmelo, Cactus Cantina, China Dragon, and even a Waffle House for those classic beach breakfasts. For seasonal events, Shrimp Fest is only six miles away — and local shuttles make getting there easy and stress-free.
Just a short 12-minute drive brings you to The Wharf, where you can enjoy a vibrant mix of shops, restaurants, live entertainment, dolphin tours, a Ferris wheel, and a 15-screen AMC movie theater. The Orange Beach SportsPlex is equally close for those attending tournaments or sporting events, while the exciting new OWA Theme Park and Resort is just over 20 minutes away, offering thrills for visitors of all ages.
This beachfront retreat is especially appealing to families seeking a memorable vacation filled with laughter, sunshine, and togetherness. It also provides an inviting haven for snowbirds looking to trade icy sidewalks for sandy shores and mild Gulf breezes. Whether you’re planning a few restful days or a peaceful multi-month stay, this condo offers the perfect blend of relaxation and adventure.
Imagine the soothing sound of waves as your daily soundtrack, the scent of fresh sea air drifting through the balcony doors, and the simple joy of building sandcastles with loved ones under endless blue skies. Here, every day feels like a gentle reminder to slow down, soak it in, and make memories that will last long after the tide rolls out.
