Great stay at a great place

We had a great stay at this Royal Palms unit. The views from the 12th floor were amazing! The unit was just a described. Having two full bathrooms was extremely nice as well. Located at three east end of Gulf Shores made it easy to enjoy everything from Dauphin Island to Perdido Key. If we return, we will definitely look to see if this unit is avaliable and we would recommend it to others.

Lovely Spot

The condo was clean and comfortable. The weather on the other hand was cold, windy and rainy. Not a good week to be at the beach. The restaurant were great and we took a couple your suggestions. I would stay here again.

Amazing!

Beautiful property right on the beach and everything as described. We loved how private the beach was since this condo is by the state park, so it isn’t as crowded. The owners were very helpful giving us suggestions on things to do in the area and places to eat. They also left us and the kids welcoming gifts which was super sweet! We will definitely be booking with them again!

Perfect

My wife and I booked this room for our 20th wedding anniversary and it was perfect. It was just the two of us, but we were thinking we could book it another time with our two kids. There was plenty of room, it was clean, and there were plenty of towels. Loved the balcony view, especially in the winter months with the sun being in the southern hemisphere. This is a great location, right next to the state part and just down the road from some great restaurants and easy to find grocery stores. Definitely would book it again!

Quieter stretch of beach

Having stayed in 4 different condos in the Gulf Shores, this was our favorite. With the state park on one side & a two-story building on the other side, the beach was not as populated as other areas. This unit was very cozy & perfect for a couple. If traveling with young children it would be a nice size. If traveling with middle grade students or older you might wish for a little more room. Jason was friendly, accommodating, and communicated well. We would return to this rental if it was open on our next trip. One final note: the sauna heats up fast! That was a definite plus on a rainy evening!

Disliked: Cleanliness
We recently stayed at this Royal Palms property. The location was excellent— conveniently situated on the beach, making it ideal for a relaxing getaway. Communication with the owners was adequate and timely when needed.However, we were disappointed with the cleanliness of the unit. It was clear the condo had not been thoroughly cleaned. There was visible dirt throughout, and the floors and surfaces were covered in hair and debris. The sheets had hair on them, there was a packaging wrapper and dice (?) on the bedroom floor (no way could the room have been swept), there was what appeared to either be vomit or feces on the shower curtain, stains on quilts provided, and paint coming off the walls and baseboards. We wiped down the bunk bed ladder for our little ones and the wipe was black. We ended up putting them in the king bed with us all week once we saw whatever was smeared along the bunk wall as well. Rugs need replaced. Toilet seats didn’t seem to fit correctly. You sat on part seat/part bowl. Shower pressure was nonexistent, we ended up washing our hair in the kitchen sink to remove shampoo. While we appreciated the setting and ease of communication, the lack of cleanliness significantly impacted our overall experience. We hope these issues are addressed moving forward, as the property has great potential with better maintenance.

Anniversary

Amazing views, 12th floor so little wait for the elevator but worth it, clean room. Cookware and kitchen could use some updates and the dishwasher was crooked but worked great. Quick response from owners of anything was needed. Sauna, hot tub and steam room were an added luxury on our cold, windy rainy day!

Great location, beautiful view

You can't beat this location. The views are out of this world, and we love being so close to the State Park as well. It's also close to many restaurants and other activities. Jason was an excellent host. The check-in instructions were clear, and he was also so quick to respond to any questions we had. As with most rentals in this area, you are only provided with a starter supply of basic necessities (as noted in the property description), so plan accordingly. This condo is perfect for a couple or small family.

Last minute winter visit

Had an excellent stay. We decided last minute and reached out to Jason the morning we wanted to book. He was very kind and incredibly quick to respond. The unit is well maintained and excellent views of the pier, sunrise, and sunset. Always a less crowded feel as royal palms is the last commercial tower before the land break between gulf shores and Orange beach. Highly recommended.
