Within Walking Distance

I’m not really a big fan of driving. I don’t like dealing with other cars and drivers, using up gas (and paying for more), and hunting for parking spots. The worse is when you’ve just spent hours in the car driving to your vacation destination and then have to drive all over the place to do anything outside of the hotel/condo.

That’s one of the reasons why vacationing with Brett/Robinson is so great: some of the properties are so close to downtown Gulf Shores that if you do have to drive, you don’t have to drive far. Island Winds East and West in particular are within walking distance of shopping and restaurants—which is convenient when you feel like having a drink (or two or three) with dinner, or if you conveniently forgot to bring last year’s bathing suit and need to run out really quick for a replacement.

Island Winds is also a favorite location for the Shrimp Festival coming up on October 7th – 10th. Hurry up and make a reservation!
