Windward Pointe is located directly on Perdido Beach Boulevard, the main east–west coastal road

Most restaurants, shops, marinas, and attractions are within 5–15 minutes

Grocery stores and convenience shops are nearby

Parking is widely available at attractions and dining spots

Tip: During peak season (spring break, summer, holidays), traffic is heaviest from 10am–6pm. Early mornings and evenings are the easiest times to travel.

Many roads have wide shoulders suitable for biking

Best for early morning or late afternoon rides

Ideal for casual trips to nearby shops or coffee spots

Note: Helmets are recommended, and biking is not ideal for long distances during midday heat.

Expect longer wait times in summer

Tip: If relying on ride share for dinner reservations, request early.

❄️ Refrigerator Tip

Your check-in day is often a same-day turnover. The refrigerator may need time to fully cool and may not handle large amounts of warm food immediately. Please leave non-perishable items on the counter or in coolers and avoid overfilling. The refrigerator may take up to 12 hours to reach optimal temperature.



🌬️ Air Conditioning Guidelines

On very hot days (90°+), the A/C system may not cool more than 20 degrees below the outside temperature. Please do not set the thermostat excessively low, as this may cause the unit to freeze and shut down. For best performance:

Use ceiling fans

Close blinds during peak sun hours

Keep doors and windows closed

Do not run the A/C with the balcony door open
