14th-floor family-friendly Gulf-front condo with balcony, hot tub, pool, & AC

Island Royale P 305

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Less than a mile west of the main Gulf Shores Public Beach entrance and rising high above the Gulf of Mexico is Island Royale.

Featuring a swim-through indoor/outdoor pool, indoor and outdoor hot tubs, steam room and expansive beachfront, Island Royale is a place that encourages you to stay outdoors and take full advantage of the beautiful coastal sunshine.

Once in your condo, be sure to spend time lounging on your private balcony watching the sun rise and set peacefully over the Gulf. Rest and relax in comfort and style in your living area as you reconnect with family and friends. Your kitchen is fully equipped to prepare every meal.

Thanks to the condo's proximity to numerous restaurants (seafood, burgers, steaks, spicy Cajun cuisine and more!), save time in the kitchen and go out to eat! After dinner, head up Hwy. 59 to Pirate's Island or The Track for an evening of miniature golf, thrilling amusement park rides and arcade fun. Or, check out some of the beach boutiques just north of the beach. Shop for that swimsuit you've been wanting at one of the giant beach stores nearby.

Live entertainment can be found any time of year at places like the iconic Hangout Restaurant of Hangout Music Festival fame. Head out to the courtyard for a bubble party or to play silly games.

Your condo a few minutes' drive from Gulf State Park, where you'll find a variety of fun activities such as a nature center, a beach pavilion, a giant fishing pier that juts 1,500+ feet out into the Gulf, backcountry trails and so much more.

When you want a relaxing beach vacation that puts you near the fun of Gulf Shores' beach entertainment district, choose Island Royale. You'll be glad you did.

Crazy thermostat crazy alarm went off Dirty pots and pans. No screen on window. No one even cared.

Kid stuck hand in window when I was dressing. An Alarm from the TV box went off at 7:00 am. Sounded like police raid. The owner turned air on while we were out and we were all asking each other who did it 3 times!!!Not relaxing at all. Pam’s in cubbord were filthy!!! I talked to the people we were told to nothing done

Awesome location

The property was as described in listing. The views were amazing. Joe with security greets everyone with a smile and fist bump. My only complaint is with the sofa bed. Impossible to sleep on. I will most definitely be back.

Stay at Royal Island

Great view & parking. Pool was relaxing. Overall a nice stay. We'd rent again. A few things that would be nice to be upgraded. Towels were old, thin and scratchy. Mattress cover was stained, sheets kept slipping off corners of bed, perimeter of floors looked like it needed cleaning.

Not great.

The building and pools were nice. Directly on the beach. The condo itself needs updating and it needs a deep cleaning. Had a musty smell. Carpets are old as well as the furniture. Plus the AC unit was out for 2 days/ 1 night.

Nice, but needs to be updated

This room is nice, but needs lots of updating. The sink has big chips in it. The coffee maker is badly stained, the bathtub had several large chips in it. The door to the microwave has a large stain on the door. You can just tell it's an old room and has not been updated. However, the furniture was all good, Fridge was nice and clean. We did have to call VACASA upon our arrival because the door wouldn't open after putting in the passcode. The rep. was very nice and helped us right away.

Great location, ok room

This was the 2nd time I stayed at the Island Royale. First time the room was amazing. This room did its job but was kinda disappointing. Like others have said, the furniture in the bedrooms is way oversized. Lots of bumps happened. The room smelled of weed when we first entered. The floors were ok, around the baseboard areas were gross. Basic cleaning had been done for a while here. Shower curtains were too short and had blank mold all over them. Toilet seats were very old. Sofa and chair were very used. Room needs updating badly. Probably won't go back to this room but the condos themselves are great. Quiet and amazing view and balcony. Saw dolphins and watched the parasailers every morning. Pool is fun, got a little nasty by the 3rd day. Hair chunks and food in it.

Outdated and dirty

Upon arrival there was a bottle of windex sitting on the chair in the den. In the guest bathroom, one of the cabinet doors was off the hinge. I contacted the property manager and notified her of the hinge and her response was “the property owner hasn’t fixed that yet?” I also let her know about the windex being left out and asked her to send a blanket because there was not a blanket for the pullout sofa. Speaking of the pullout sofa, the mattress was so thing and worn, the springs pushed through and made it uncomfortable for my daughter to sleep on. There was dust gathered at the ac vent. The curtains in the den had water mark stains on them. Baseboards were dirty and dusty. The carpet in both rooms was stained and so disgusting that we wore shoes. The sofa and chairs were brown stained. The bedroom furniture was sticky to touch. All appliances were outdated. The dishwasher sounded like a freight train. There was a 1” exposed metal area on the tub where the epoxy was missing. The towels provided were paper thin and bottom of the barrel. The cheapest toilet paper on the market. I’m still trying to wrap my head around the 10ft ceilings with the 9ft door that had a towel rack attached. You needed to be about 8.5ft tall in order to hang your towel. The thermostat was digital but auto set to stay at 72. When I would bump down to cool the place, within the hour it would automatically go back to 72. I took many photos for documentation. But the view was great.

Quick last minute trip for a soccer tournament.

This condo was very clean! Beds were very comfortable and the sand is just steps away (it’s not a long boardwalk like some). Elevator traffic was not a problem at all. The pool was abnormally cold - we liked it - just curious what made it so cold! There is also a small kiddie pool/fountain area that is nice. Would definitely stay here again.

Rented for a short weekend trip. Nice to find a unit that has two adult sized beds and not just the singles found in most units.
