Wonderful stay

We’ve been staying in this building for the last 6years. We love the location. Being next to the state park gives everyone space to spread out so the beach doesn’t seem as crowded. This is the best condo we have stayed in in the building. It was so clean and had everything we could need. We will definately be staying here again.

Stunning Property

This Penthouse condo unit at the Royal Palms is top notch. Everything is exactly as described and the property management company was great and easy to work with. There isn't a better view from any where else in Gulf Shores. So happy to have stayed here and will book again.

Absolutely amazing on all aspects. Location was a 10 plus - the wrap around terraces made the view of the white sands and national park incredible. The furnishings were all new and spotless. Extremely happy with our stay and all the details of the unit.

Best view in Gulf Shores

We loved Royal Palms 1403! The living room, dining room, and kitchen area was bigger than other units we have stayed in. Both bedrooms were large with plenty of room as well. The balcony was our favorite part. The views are wonderful and the furniture was very comfortable. We plan to stay here again!

Best view in Gulf Shores

We have stayed in several units at Royal Palms (all of which have been wonderful) but this unit was the best of all! Everything is just as described and pictured, and the views of the beach from the beach facing balcony to the side wrap around were the greatest. The unit itself was spacious and well organized. We felt right at home the minute we walked down the long hallway to the living room. Absolutely wonderful!!!

Family Vacation

We had a fabulous time! The weather wasn’t the best but there’s so much to see and do down here, that we stayed busy every day. So many restaurants to chose from and within walking distance. Having the indoor heated pool was an added plus for our grandkids. The condo was very clean, comfortable, and the million dollar views from the balcony can’t be beat!! We will for sure be back!!

Great location, balcony desperately needs furniture

The selling point of this condo over others in the building was the enormous balcony. We had fantastic views. However, the available furniture was either broken or unusable, with the exception of two Adirondack chairs. The owners need to take advantage of the balcony because it's really the only advantage to this unit. Location was great. We had a quiet beach right next to the state park, so it was not crowded at any time during our stay. We didn't care about being able to walk to other locations in GS.

Great place to stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We were very happy with our condo, it was very clean, nicely furnished and beautiful views from the balconies. We were there for my daughters beach wedding and her condo down the hall was definitely not what I had hoped for their wedding trip...the balcony furniture was broken, dirty and moldy. The inside furniture in desperate need of updating and just a very weird layout with a wall of full length in the narrow hallway. She was quite disappointed especially when she saw that ours was so much nicer.
