About this property

Living The High Life! Penthouse Unit With Amazing View, Extra Large Balcony!

Welcome to Island Royale, penthouse unit #P402. This gorgeous unit sits high up with an unbeatable view of the Gulf of Mexico. This 2/2 unit will provide the perfect venue for a fantastic family getaway. This is the Crow’s Nest!

FEATURES:
Island Royale is located on the main beach road and sits on right on the beach. Take a quick walk down the boardwalk path and find yourself on the white sandy shores. Parking for up to 2 vehicles is included in the rental, and there is a reserved parking spot for the unit. The pool is an indoor/outdoor swim-through pool. There is a hot tub and a kids splash pad and wading pool right by the pool as well. The exercise room is free to use and features a sauna. The unit has a washer and dryer that are free to use, located in a separate room so you can close the door to lower the noise.

MASTER BEDROOM:
The master bedroom has a King size bed and direct access to the balcony. Sliding glass doors allow beautiful views of the ocean while you lay in the bed. Enjoy the TV with cable through Dish. A closet stocked with hangars provides a great place to hang up all of your clothes and keep your luggage out of sight. A dresser provides extra storage for clothes if you like to pack heavily. A wall mirror will let you know if your outfit is fitting just right! Reading lamps are stationed by the bed for some late night lighting. Enjoy a private bathroom connected directly to the bedroom.

MASTER BATH:
Enjoy the vanity area with a large mirror. Plenty of cabinet space for storing all of your bathroom essentials. The bathroom features a shower/tub combo.

GUEST BEDROOM:
The guest bedroom features a Queen bed and private TV with cable through Dish. A private closet allows you to hang up your clothes and store your luggage away safely. A dresser provides additional storage for clothes. Enjoy access to the guest bathroom directly from the bedroom.

GUEST BATH:
This bath features a shower/tub combo unit. The large mirror and vanity space allow for easy getting ready in the morning and winding down at night and features an electrical outlet so you can plug in any electrical devices.

LIVING AREA:
The living room offers Queen sized sleeper sofa and 2 recliners. There is sitting for 4 at the dining table and 2 more at the bar counter. Ceiling to floor glass door and windows allow you to always have an eye on the beautiful scenery. A Smart TV with cable provides an excellent distraction if the weather isn't cooperating in the moment. For when the weather is nice, enjoy the large balcony with great views of the Gulf. You’ll be coming back just for the balcony alone! With enough seating for 8 people, you can have guests over and still have plenty of room to maneuver around the balcony.

KITCHEN:
The kitchen is fully stocked for all your cooking needs. A large stainless steel fridge has plenty of storage for food and drinks, and the freezer is large enough to stay stocked up on what you need to stay cold. An ice maker is located in the freezer, and there is a spot to get water and ice directly on the large French style doors of the fridge. Stainless steel microwave, dishwasher, and oven with a glass stovetop allow you to get your chef on. Both a Keurig and a regular drip coffee machine is available for you to use. I attempt to keep disposable filters in stock for you to use. You will need to bring your own coffee. Also available for your use is a toaster, blender, can opener, pots and pans galore, baking sheets, and a full set of utensils and drinkware.

SURROUNDING AREA:
Located right by the heart of Gulf Shores, this condo is within a short distance of so many enjoyable stops that you’ll need to come back to see them all. Plenty of great restaurants are located all along the main beach road, highlighted by none other than the Hangout: great food meeting great live music. Plenty of mini golf courses are located in the area, and there’s plenty of beach shops in case you forget any of your beach essentials. Head over to Orange Beach for some great brunch spots and the Wharf which features plenty of shops and restaurants. The Wharf Amphitheater hosts many top notch concerts, so check to see if any line up with your dates! Families looking for some fun nearby can look into going to The Track, which features multiple courses.

For anyone up for a little bit of a drive, you can head up to Foley. Foley, AL, has great destinations to spend your entire day enjoying including the Tanger Outlet mall, featuring dozens of premiere shops and restaurants, and OWA - an all inclusive destination featuring shopping, dining, and entertainment. Entertainment includes a large arcade (often featuring gaming tournaments), a stage often featuring comedy shows and concerts, an amusement park featuring a full size roller coaster, and an indoor waterpark!

Great stay

We had a wonderful stay! The location to the beach was extremely easy to access and convenient for coming and going. The pool area was another great addition as well as the spacious balcony. The host was very responsive when needed and quickly worked to help. Overall, I highly recommend staying here and we look forward to returning.

Great Family Vacation

This was exactly what we needed for our family. The view was great! The proximity to groceries and restaurants was perfect. It was a kid friendly space for my two kids (both under 5). The kitchen was well stocked with what you needed. We would stay again!

Beach Getaway

The property location was great. The property was as advertised, the balcony was especially great. The property was clean all but the ceiling fans was dusty. The property could use a couple of non-slip shower mats to prevent guests from slipping in the shower. Overall we enjoyed our stay and will consider this property again.

Fabulous!

Despite Hurricane Francine we had a wonderful time! Celebrating my 65th birthday with my husband in this beautiful condo for 8 days - in our favorite place was perfection! Everything was as described and we could not have been more pleased. There was nothing missing and the balcony is icing on the cake! Would we stay here again? Absolutely!

Family Vacation

Great location and beautiful condo! Loved the full size washer and dryer that could keep up with all of our laundry. One item we wish could have been different was the setting on the air conditioner as we couldn’t put the temp below 68 degrees. Would have loved to been able to set it at 65 degrees for night time sleeping and while getting ready for the evening.

Beautiful and Peaceful

This was my firs time using VRBO or any other sort of non-hotel location, and it was a wonderful experience. Great communication from start to finish, well-kept living space, walking access to a number of restaurants and stores, and most importantly - a magnificent and peaceful view of the beach and gulf.

Great place to stay

I would highly recommend this condo. The views of the beach are amazing. It is in really good shape and the website description was accurate. It is close enough to everything you need. Just pack your beach towels and you're ready for the first day at least. This condo has everything you need. Jodi was very easy to work with and answered all questions quickly. I would stay here again if I find myself going back to Gulf Shores

Trip for Firsts

We come to Gulf Shores often and this was definitely a great one. We had a great condo and an outstanding view from the spacious balcony. We tried only restaurants we hadn't been before. Well, except for Lulu's....had to pay tribute to her brother, Jimmy Buffet! and we went parasailing! Ike's was set up right beside our condo and it was very convenient! It was a blast! We will definitely stay here again. Thanks for the memories!

Great trip with our grandson and friend.

Everything was great except the night the fire alarms went off at 12midnight and 4am. Going down 13 flights of stairs twice was not pleasant since we are in our 70s and I have both knees replaced.
