Great place!

We enjoyed our stay! Owner was very responsive for all needs. We had our code in advance to arrival, which eased my nerves of the possibility of not receiving one. Indoor hot tub is nice as well as pool. We loved the condo's patio furniture. It's nicely decorated and stocked with all items needed.

We had a great stay. Close to LOTS of restaurants, shopping, etc. You can walk to The Hangout. Would definitely stay here again. Only drawback was pool was under renovations due to hurricane Sandy but the beach was fabulous and literally steps away.

Perfect stay

This condo was perfect for our family of four! It was well maintained and eye pleasing. It was great having direct beach access, and there was a lot less people by this condo beach which sits near the fishing pier! Great fishing right off the beach or off the pier. Will definitely be staying here again!

Perfect stay!

Amazing location—being on the end of the row of condos down the beach created a nice, spacious beach location for us to enjoy! My teens appreciated the decorations and said they weren’t too cliche. Also, balcony furniture was comfy for watching the ocean.

Wonderful accommodations!

We had a wonderful time staying right on the beach! This is the last condo building on the beach, far enough away from the nightlife in town which makes for a quieter beach. Mostly families on the beach. Easy access. Very clean condo decorated so cute! Kitchen is furnished with cookware and easy to find. Great communication!

Anniversary Trip

We had a very relaxed vacation in large part to the fact the condo was perfect! We spent much of our time on the balcony listening to the waves & reading books. The location is awesome because it's at the end of the row of condos. The beach was never crowded. Everything was exactly as advertised & Rick was great to work with. We will definitely return!

Excellent location!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in 1003 Royal Palms in Gulf Shores. The location is great for families who want to avoid the larger condos with crowded beaches. We literally had our choice in beach location each day. It butts right next to the state park, so there is tons of beach available. The condo is terrific. The owners do an excellent job cleaning and maintaining it and we had everything we needed for the entire week. I would definitely stay in this condo again and will do business with the owners in the future, for sure!

Perfect stay at the beach ⛱️

Everything about working with Richard was extremely easy. His commitment to ensuring your stay at his property is seamless. His description of the property and location is spot on. The condo is absolutely beautiful and the beach view from the balcony is breath taking.. Richard is a very easy to communicate with and his knowledge of the area is very helpful and is more than willing to share it with you. We have stayed in several VRBO and this one I would rate a solid 10.

Clean and updated condo. 10th floor view on the beach! All of the restaurants were within 2-3 minutes away. Kitchen was loaded with anything you need to do your own cooking. We used the grill several times down by the pool. They have security that walks around and checks on everything too. Overall this place is a 10 out of 10.

Excellent value

This condo was very affordable for the area and season, compared to similar properties. Communication was easy with Rick. We had no reason to contact him during our stay, as his communication in advance was thorough. Our only regret was booking 4 nights and not longer! Just a matter of seconds from your room to the beach. Shopping, entertainment, food, grocery.. you’re close to it all. Can walk the beach to the gulf state pier. Great view, saw dolphins every morning.

Beautiful space!

This condo was perfect for my family of 4. I've been coming to Gulf Shores since I was a kid with my family, and I was excited to share this experience with my own kids. It did not disappoint. This unit was clean, updated, and accurately depicted. The owner is very quick to respond to any concerns, and made sure to get in touch to make sure we got checked in ok. The building itself is right next to the public beach, so there was plenty of space to set up camp on the beach without it being too crowded, and my kid's loved the indoor pool, especially when it was raining! We will definitely stay here again!
