Island Royale 703

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 two- or three-bedroom 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.

Wonderful View!

The view was wonderful, and the place was clean and organized. We did receive a text saying that early check in could possibly be available, but we never received a text saying the room was ready early. At 4pm for check in we were able to get in, but a suggested don't put the # and then a space because we didn't think the number sign was part of the passcode.

Location great

Location great but needs updating. Additional living room seating would be nice. Updated patio furniture to enjoy the view. Plastic chairs and rusted table was a bummer. Used my hair clip to keep the bedroom curtain closed. Check in was complicated never got a text to check in when it was ready and parking passes were missing.

Great Vacation

The location, condo amenities, and room size were great. The only reason I didn’t do 5 stars was because there were no blankets. There was a thin sheet and that was it. I usually take an extra blanket from home but the first time I forgot, there were no extras.

Great location

Property was in great location. Very clean but the carpet smelled musty. Only had two wash clothes and two towels per bathroom for a 4 night stay and no dish rag in kitchen. We had to go buy blankets for beds because a sheet like covers. Also needs update on rusted outside table. One more chair in den would have been nice.

Nice Condo

This condo was nice and clean. The balcony and the view were wonderful. The beds were comfortable and it had adequate space for our group. The front door was a little hard to open at times, but overall it was a great experience.

This place is a health hazard

The front bedroom is unsafe to stay in due to a strong mold/mildew smell. The smell was nauseating and led to a migraine after about 20 minutes of breathing in the odor. Had to leave after one night (both me and my room-mate slept on the living room floor) because management was unwilling to assist in any way. Other reviews have mentioned this issue but management refuses to acknowledge it. Public health hazard.

Good size condo and excellent beach access

This condo was a good size and the access to the beach and pool was super convenient. The patio was a great size and overlooked the ocean which was nice. The condo itself was very run down and needed TLC. The carpet was pretty gross and smelled strongly of mold and mildew. The front bedroom with twin beds was the worst smelling room and I almost didn't want to use it. I reported it to the management and they said they'd take a look at it. The furniture was rusted, peeling and falling apart. The linens were threadbare and the sink had chips in it. The condo was what I would describe as "sparse". No bells and whistles. No extra thought put in for the guest. It didn't seem like anyone took ownership or cared about the condition of the space. However, if the mold/mildew smell was corrected and the carpet was replaced we would rent this again based off the size, location and price. However, we would come way better prepared with our own pillows, blankets, bath towels, etc now that we know there aren't many comforts included. All in all we had wonderful weather and the kids enjoyed the beach and pool!

Front Door and Bathroom Issues

Front door look like it had been kicked in. I took pictures of it send it to the office and someone text me back and said someone’s gonna come out and look at it. No one never did come out and look at it so I’m very upset about that. also, the bathroom shower curtains kept falling down on Rod and everything master bedroom bathroom one of the cabinet doors was missing, so no, my stay was not pleasant because I had to put a chair behind the door cause I had my kids with me. I report that the door was damaged sent pictures showing like a door had been kicked in but nothing was done about and I feel that I should get compensated with some kind of monetary on this stay. Because I have use your all before but I’m highly upset about The conditions of the front door and it was very unsafe and nobody was ever sent out that I was told and I do have text messages saying that someone was gonna come out and check it out and do something about it but nothing was never did.

Outdated condo

Very outdated condo. Furniture very sparse and broken or damaged. Hole in bathroom ceiling. Peeling paint on cabinets. With only one loveseat and chair hard for a family of 4 to sit comfortably together. Could use a sofa, coffee table, and end tables. Master bedroom could use bedside tables on each side of bed.

Condo stay April 2022

Our stay at the Island Royale unit 703 was a pleasant experience. The condo was clean upon arrival and we had no issues with parking. The unit had everything we needed for our stay. Great view of the gulf.

703 at Island Royale is a DUMP!!!

Nothing!!! 1) First thing when we get there is no number on door. it could have been maintenance room or other guest room but our combination worked. 2) Carpet was filthy. 3) Toaster didn't work. 3) Balcony light burnt out. 4) Two light bulbs in bathroom burnt out. 5)When you sat on couch you thought you were going all the way to the floor. 6) No stoppers in either tub if you wanted to take bath.7) No rubber mats in either tub if you wanted to take shower for safety. 8) Roku TV in living room needs roadmap to operate. had to have technician come and show us how to operate and no MLB or FOX 1 to watch baseball playoffs. 9) All appliances were old. Calrod units on stove were not level, automatic ice maker in refrigerator consisted of 3 ice cube trays. 10) Leak in ceiling above both tubs from floor above with black mold. The building also wasn't the best. 1) Had two elevators to serve a 14 floor bldg and both were in service only two days during two week stay. So basically one elevator for whole bldg. One night on return from dinner, neither worked. The fire dept came to rescue 6 people trapped inside. I'm 79 and my wife is 83 and we had to climb seven flights of stairs. There were two other couples, one on 13th and one on 14th floor as old as us or older who had to use the stairs! They had two treadmills in fitness room so my wife and I would work out together until one stopped working. There were no batteries in tv remote until I wrote a note ant taped it to office window. Then the only channel available was Fraiser reruns. Also in fitness room, the disinfect wipe dispenser did not work so you couldn't wipe equipment before or after workout. the only people who deserve to stay at this place are the owners and I doubt that they do! The one thing that surprises me is why would Meyers associate there name with this DUMP!!! Steve H.
