jalex,

Alot depends on when you are going. We went in April and while it can get hot during the day, sitting under the palm trees is very comfortable. The sea breeze is so soothing!

We had a villa with only a wall unit in the bedroom and found that instead of leaving the door open for the breezes during the day, it was better to close up the villa and let the A/C keep the humidity low. Then, it was comfortable enough for sleeping at night.

If you can handle Orange Beach/Gulf Shores, you'll be fine. Sunscreen is a must...a hat and light cover up wouldn't hurt either. I also ease into a "base tan" before I go to prevent burns. If you go snorkeling, bring an old t-shirt to put over your swimsuit. Your back and shoulders can burn quickly in one 1/2 day trip in these clear reflective waters!

Relax, with good preparation,you are gonna love it.
