Cindy Lou's Beachfront 3BR/3BA 10th Floor East Corner Condo in Island Royale

1. Beach/Gulf Front! Nothing separates you from the Gulf of Mexico other than a short walk on sugar white sand!

2. Balcony and Views! The private and spacious (311 square ft.) balcony is on the 10th floor and on the east corner of the building. The unobstructed views of the Gulf’s emerald green water and white sand beaches are to die for!! The sunrises and sunsets are will take your breath away! (Please view my photos!)

3. Location! The condo is located 0.8 miles from downtown Gulf Shores, making it an easy walk (along the street or beach) to restaurants like The Hangout , Bahama Bob’s, and The Pink Pony Pub. Pier 33 (a small carryout/grocery store) is just across the street.

4. Beach! Our beach is huge, clean and sugar white! Unlike other larger condo complexes where guests crowd the beach, Island Royale is a smaller but newer building which allows for a comfortable beach population! Set up your beach camp and have plenty of room to play!

5. Condo Layout! My family friendly, 3 bedroom, 3 bath condo sleeps 8 and has plenty of room for everyone to spread out and have their own space. Each bedroom has an attached bath for each guest’s privacy. There is a flat screen/smart TV in each bedroom and the living room. The dining area seats 9. If you have an extended family and you need more space, check out my penthouse unit that’s just 5 floors above this unit (VRBO 838652). It will sleep 8 people too, so that gives a total of 16 family and friends all located in the same building and on the same beach!!

6. Convenient Beach Gear Storage: No need to lug your beach gear for miles after your day in the sun. Unit 1001 has parking near the entrance to the beach. Simply walk off the beach and drop your heavy beach gear in the back of your vehicle. Done!

7. Clean! How many units have you had to clean when you arrived to begin your vacation? Not here!! My unit is cleaned by a wonderful cleaning company who treat my unit as if it were their own home. They do not cut corners, they clean ‘em!!

8. Updated! Bathrooms remodeled in 2021. New kitchen cabinets and a new water heater were installed in early 2019, new washer and dishwasher installed in 2021!!

9. Extra Features! There is a fabulous indoor/outdoor swim through heated pool and indoor and outdoor hot tubs. In 2022, a kiddie pool/splash pad was installed. The Island Royale building has 4 outdoor charcoal grills, a fitness center, and sauna and steam room and upgraded Wi-Fi!

10. Owner Operated! I own my unit and I manage it. I do not use a hard to reach Management Company. You may call me 24/7 and I will either pick up my phone or return your call within minutes. If you have any issues, I will address them immediately!! Your vacation is very important to me and I want to make it the best ever! My goal, for my guests is to have such a positive experience they want to make my condo and Gulf Shores part of their family tradition year after year!

Spring Break 2024

The overall property is nice. Views are great. Easy parking, (spaces are a bit on the skinny side). Hot tubs were cold two of the days we were there. (Not a building problem but wish parents would not let their small children use them as swimming pools). The unit was nice. Liked that the kitchen had plastic storage containers for leftovers. Also nice selection of card/board games/movies. A few more hand towels for the three bathrooms would be nice (one each provided) we use a clean one every other day, however with laundry to do in the unit, wasn’t a big deal. We had an issue that Cindy was quick to respond to even though it was out of her control and liked that she was very responsive. The worst part of spring break this year was the weather for half the week but I would recommend her units!

A beautiful, well-appointed vacation getaway!

I highly recommend starting here! From the beginning, Cindy (and Dave) were a joy to communicate with. The property is beautiful inside and out. Their balcony and view is breathtaking! The decor was just right — beachy, yet elegant. The mattress in the master suite was so comfortable that we contacted Cindy to see what brand. This condo is within walking and short driving distance to tasty restaurants and grocery stores. We would definitely stay here again! Thank you, Cindy, for a great vacation experience :)

Loved The Balcony!

We loved this condo! The balcony was very spacious and had great furniture that was accommodating to our whole family of 5 with room to spare. The condo was very clean and well organized. It was well stocked with everything we needed for the week. We particularly appreciated the games, the the charging stations, and kitchen supplies. We loved Cindy's personal notes that were left for us to assist us in our stay. She was a very pleasant hostess who was very easy to communicate with. We would definitely consider staying with her again and recommend that others do as well.
