Spring break week

The beach was great, the condo is at the end of the strip so it’s much quieter than further west. Condo unit itself was kinda grimy, I changed the air filter on the HVAC because it looked awful, the grout needs a really good scrub too. But we were there for beach time and a balcony to sit on, so that part was nice. For the price it was good.

Perfect Family Friendly Stay

Our stay at Royal Palms was absolutely phenomenal. The condo is the last one before the state park, making it less crowded, there is a new condo being built to the west so there was some construction noise during the day at the beach, however it wasn’t terrible and provided extra entertainment for our son! The condo was very well kept, very soft bed, and comfy couch. Debbie was easy to get ahold of, we had no issues but wanted to make her aware of some chipped paint we saw upon arrival. We will absolutely be back next year! All of the condo guests were polite, excellent family atmosphere.

We enjoyed Royal Palms. It’s a very short walk to the beach. There’s an indoor pool and hot tub as well as an outdoor pool. The view was perfect, especially sunset because no other condos are blocking.

About the host

Hosted by Debbie

Host profile image
I am a retired Professor of Nursing. My husband is retired from Shell Chemical. We have owned beach front properties in Gulf Shores for over 40 years. Our two kids grew up spending every summer at the beach and we can now do the same with our 5 grand kids. This unit has offered our family countless years of pleasure and we are happy to share it so that you can make your own lasting memories.

Why they chose this property

We really love the family-friendly atmosphere of the Royal Palms complex. It offers so many amenities - beachside shower, 2 pools, a sauna, a steam room and a fitness center. It is right next to the State Park so there is lots of room to spread out on the beach. The new fishing pier is just a short stroll to the East. There is a beach chair/umbrella rental service directly in front of complex.

What makes this property unique

We are on a lower floor so you can take the stairs if you don't want to wait for 1 of the 2 elevators. Parking is plentiful. The unit is directly gulf-front with beautiful views. So don't hesitate to book early - our dates fill up quickly!
