Great Stay!!
We came down to Gulf Shores with our baseball team and had a great experience. The room was very clean and had a great view of the beach. Our family had a great time and we'd certainly book again in our next visit to Gulf Shores.

Great Comfortable Condo on the Beach
We have been going to Gulf Shores for over 30 years. This condo was the most comfortable (as far as furnishings) we have ever stayed in. Will rebook future trips at this exact condo, if available.

Great stay!
Great location and easy access in and out of parking lot. The beach was not crowded and made for a relaxing time. Room was as described and clean with a great view of the water. Elevator was easy access and not too busy so we didn’t have to wait long.

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!

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.

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.
