We truly enjoyed our stay at this condo. It was the perfect fit for our couples trip. Each couple had their own bedroom and bathroom. The unit was very clean and well decorated. The view from balcony was amazing and big enough for us all to enjoy our cocktails. We definitely book here again 😊

Beautiful Stay!
We stayed Memorial Day weekend with our older children and our 10 year old. Beautifully decorated, every amenity she thought of you can find. Beautiful views through the whole condo. If you are cooking for a big family, the kitchen won’t disappoint (cookware, spices, etc). I’m an authentic Cajun cook like my MawMaw and when I saw that Magnalite pot in the cabinet I had to giggle. Everything within walking distance, restaurants, The Hangout, Pier 33 Market across the street if you need some grocery items you forgot (drinks, ice, snacks etc). But everything was absolutely beautiful and we will definitely be returning. Thank you Rebekah for a wonderful stay and great communication and helpful info!

Lots of firsts. Lots of memories.
This condo was amazing. Very clean and easily accessible. Everyone had room and tvs to themselves when they had too much Sun and needed a minute to themselves. My family truly enjoyed their first beach vacation. The littles were thrilled by the beach and I was thrilled to have a space of our own. Thank you for the great accommodations!

About the host

Hosted by Rebekah McGee

Host profile image
My name is Rebekah McGee and my husband is Sean. We reside in New Iberia, Louisiana (Cajun Country) with our 2 children Gabi and Nick. All of our lives we have vacationed in the Gulf Shores area because of it’s close proximity to Louisiana and the beautiful white sandy beaches. I own and operate a Real Estate Brokerage in Louisiana and my husband is a General Contractor. We have accumulated several rental homes over the years and thought it would be fun to venture out to Vacation Rentals. We have always taken pride in our rent homes, going above and beyond to assure they are maintained and in pristine condition. Unit 1101 is our third vacation rental at Island Royale and we will continue to offer the same level of quality and Southern hospitality to our guests! Any questions or issues during your stay can be directed to us at the number or email provided in the rental agreement. Our top priority for our guests is to provide a clean, comfortable, and updated condo to make your stay enjoyable. We hope you will return year after year. Send us an email or text if you have any questions. We will respond quickly to your questions.

Why they chose this property

We absolutely love the location of Island Royale. So much that we purchased 3 condos in this building! When our neighbor offered to sell this unit to us it was a no brainer! We have a large family and love being able to accommodate everyone especially now that we have 2 condos next door to each other and a 3rd on the 7th floor. The City of Gulf Shores has so much to offer. Not only the amazing beaches, the parks and recreation areas are top notch! The sidewalks are wide for walking and riding bikes. There are so many wonderful restaurants and having Pier 33 grocery store across the street is so convenient.
The complex here at Island Royale is smaller with less condo units in the building, but it still offers the same amenities as the larger complexes. Indoor and outdoor pools, a splash pad, fitness room, steam room and sauna, and an outdoor grilling area. The maintenance department does a really good job of keeping things looking and smelling nice! The spacious curved balcony offers panoramic views just in time for the sunset! Still my favorite place to end the day!!!

What makes this property unique

Because there are less condos in this complex it means you will have less people to share the beach with! It's also a very short walk to the water's edge. That means you have less walking through the sand with you beach chairs and umbrellas to start your relaxation! We provide 2 beach chairs you can use on the beach and Ike's Beach Service provides beach service rentals in front of the condo during the season March-October.
