Gulf Winds East 42 has new ownership since 7/2011 and it has been entirely renovated.
Our visit to Deston was very enjoyable. We did make it there the week before the oil spill hit the shore. The beach and everything was beautiful. The condo was very nice. We had problems with the TV, but the manager came over and worked on it the first day. Nice place right across the street form the ocean, but you have to walk, you can not park over at the beach. Gulf Winds East is very friendly and comfortable place to visit.
I was in town on buisness and brought my family with me because my 3 yr old had never been to the ocean. When I inquired about this unit it was my understanding that it was "beach front" - we couldn't even see the beach from this unit. When I called Crye Leike about the unit they said their was nothing they could do and then called me back a couple of times offering to move us to another unit but it would cost us another $600. You've got to be kidding me! My in laws own a time share in Tennessee so we know how this works. The unit was not cleaned very well and the carpet was nasty, you couldn't even go to the bathroom barefooted without your feet being black and one of the toilets was stopped up when we got there! We arrived on Sunday and got our papers from the lock box and had to call to find out where the unit was - there was no map of the units to guide you to yours, had to call and get the code for the gate to the beach and no one knew what I was talking about and even said that I must be at the wrong place because I had rented unit 43 and Gulf Winds didn't have a unit 43, which was not the case I rented unit 42 through Crye Leike. So they finally got on the same page as me and got the beach code, that didn't work so we had to try another, finally we got through the gate and they sent the maintenance man over after we found a plunger in the unit and got the toilet to flush. The office at gulf Winds is closed on Sunday and Monday, the Crye Leike office didn't realize that becasue they kept telling me someone was at the office and I could go talk to them. When I checked out I expressed my concerns to the Gulf Winds Office and the lady just said well I wish you would have told us earlier and I told her the office was closed when we checked in and then I was working on Tuesday and Wednesday and would be checking out on Friday so we just tried to make the best of it. Over all a bad experience with the Gulf Winds and Crye Leike - will not rent with them again!!!
We again we apologize for any inconvenience. Your reservation was booked online and we do not market the Gulf Winds as a Gulf front property (beach front). We did not have a lot available during the time you were here but did offer to upgrade you. After you had expressed your concerns on your check out day the manager onsite personally went to the unit to check the carpet and the floors. She wiped the floors with a white cloth and nothing black came off. The carpet even though it is not new is clean. We apologize for the miscommunication on the beach code however the beach code was written on your check in package. If the issues had been brought to our attention during your stay it would have allowed us the opportunity to accommodate you. We asked upon your check out if everything was to his satisfaction you stated yes thank you and we wished him well on his vacation.
This condo unit match's pretty much what you would expect to pay for it. It seemed clean but a little dingy. Nothing fancy, but everything worked. All the units are within very close walking distance to the beach. My only disappointment with our stay was, we were told over the phone when making the reservation that our room overlooked the pool and we did not. Our room was not even close to overlooking the pool.
We found Unit 42 suffiently furnished to make our stay very comfortable. The management was very accomodating and helpful. The location is convenient to the beach and some great places to eat. We will return when time affords us that luxury.
