Family get away for baseball tournament

The view was amazing. The condo was clean with plenty of room for the three of us. My only negative is it’s time for a total refurbish. The furniture is old and the bathrooms could use updating on the showers. The kitchen could use new counter tops and cabinets. The location is also great.

Exceeded expectations

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: First time to Gulf Shores, and it was fantastic... quiet, relaxing... windy. The unit was exactly what we wanted, LOVED the huge balcony, nice furniture. We'll be coming back! (only down side, not the unit's fault: smoking allowed on balconies. NOT pleasant, but not often)

Great location. Needs updated

The view from the balcony was amazing. The chairs and tables on the balcony were rusted and need to be replaced. There was alot of space. Large fridge with ice maker was a plus. A cooking pan was rusted. The master shower head needs to be replaced, it wouldnt stay on the swivel. The furniture was outdated. Needed hangers in the closets. A dresser in the guest bedroom. Needs a key pad instead of a key. The master bed was comfortable.

Condo is in sub standard condition

I have stayed at the Royal Palms in Gulf Shores for the past 15 plus years and in different units over that time. This condo was in a state of disrepair and very outdated. I never give bad reviews but this one had to be done. Lamps were all rickety and wouldn't stay screwed together for use. Shower head in main bath faced the wall and couldn't be adjusted to a proper use level. Headboard was unattached in second bedroom and banged against the wall all night when you turned over in bed, couldn't be moved or tightened. There were dirty utensils in the kitchen drawers. The balcony furniture was rusted and chairs had holes. The couch was lumpy, the springs were not sufficient. The additional furniture and furnishings frankly looked like the seconds taken from other condos when renovated and/or yard sale finds. There were keys, no key pad, so when we left, we had to leave the unit unlocked and keys on counter. Anyone could have come and taken anything out of the condo and we would have been held responsible. We will NOT stay with this rental company and in this unit again. Way too much was paid for what we received. Very bad experience for our ten day stay.

Great location, terrible cleaning

We love the Royal palms and this condo was nice. However, it was NOT clean whatsoever! There was a half eaten corn dog on the floor when we arrived, sand in the beds under the comforters, dirty dishes in the cabinets, and the floors made other bottom of our feet turn black in minutes with bare feet. Everything felt like it needed a good wiping down. Very dissatisfied in the cleanliness of the condo.

There are much nicer condos in this building. Needs updates!

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This place could use some updates. First of all, like many other reviews, our feet turned black from walking barefoot in the condo. It is not because they did not clean it. It is because of the type of flooring they have in the condo. It is vynal planking with a wood grain so the sand and dirt from the beach just sits in the cracks. Next is the beds are uncomfortable and the sheets do not fit. We were constantly putting them on throughout the night. The also need to upgrade to a keyless door handle so you do not have to carry a key with you to the beach which is $50 if you lose it. Last, the best part about staying here is the balcony but the rusted chairs and no patio table makes it hard to eat or just relax out there overlooking the beach.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The condo was nice. The furniture needs updating the chairs were wicker type so they weren't really comfortable. The sofa and sofa bed needs replacing. Several of the springs on the sofa bed were missing. The TV in the living/common area you only got streaming services (no live/normal tv) like the bedrooms. But the location of the property and the cleanliness of the condo were really nice. I would stay there again.

Family trip

Property was just as listed. Could have been a little cleaner as far as dust on walls, doors, etc. and some updating of furniture and appliances, lights etc would help. But overall, just as listed, had everything we needed. Big balcony, beach wasn’t very packed like some of the bigger resorts.
