Gorgeous 3rd Floor Direct Gulf Front 1 Bedroom Condo

Our unit 304 at Royal Palms has been recently updated with a king size bed, 32in TV in the master bedroom, new 42in TV in the living room, queen sleeper sofa, fresh paint, new plank tile and carpet along with new granite in the fully stocked kitchen. Both TVs are smart TVs that provides access to Hulu, Netflix and other streaming services is in the living room. So, if you have accounts for these services, you will enjoy the same entertainment options as you do at home! A washer, dryer and WIFI Internet are provided as well.

Another very nice feature are the hallway bunk beds for children - they love them! You will enjoy spectacular views to the east and west for beautiful sunrises and sunsets that are picture perfect.

We impeccably maintain our condo to ensure that your experience is memorable.

Royal Palms is a direct gulf front low density condo building. It is located next to the state pier for wonderful fishing and enjoyment. While your here make sure to go to the famous Hangout for great food and live bands located on the beach only 1 mile from Royal Palms. We love the location being within walking distance to several main attractions and it's almost like having the beach to ourselves.

Another great place to go is Waterville water park only 2 miles from the condo and the amusement park is excellent. Go carts, bungee rides, putt putt golf, everything imaginable.

We hope to have the pleasure of hosting you as our guest and see you on the beautiful Alabama beaches soon!

Only 1 hour from the USS Alabama and the Nature park is just down the road.If you like to walk to areas it is 1.2 miles from all the nightlife you could want!

Perfect view

I love the location, being beside the state park means the beach is not as crowded and you can get to restaurants and activities in Gulf Shores and Orange Beach easily. The condo was nice and the owners were readily available for questions and concerns.

Gulf shores

Overall acceptable but the couch needs to be replaced. Very uncomfortable for sitting. Did not use the pullout bed in the couch so not sure how it laid. Fine for two but wouldn’t try to put 6 in there unless 4 were kids.

Beach trip before knee surgery

This property was nasty when we got there had to clean the showers the counter top take out the trash and clean the toilets the front balcony was nasty and there was dog hair in the living room the balcony chairs were cheap and we're definitely too low so you had to look through the bars to see the ocean I will say the condo had good water pressure and a good coffee machine the bed was old and too hard and the sheets were something that my grandmother might have put on this condo has so much better possibilities than what we experienced

Review

Stay was very good. Had everything you would expect in the room. Only negatives were minor. Smoke alarm went off several times in the middle of the night for no reason. Facility gym only had two treadmills and not a gym. Wifi was not good and made it very difficult to communicate with our baseball team for updates or look things up while in the room. Some of these things may not apply to everyone. Overall it was good but feel the price point is a bit high compared to other that stayed closer to the main part of the strip.

Great location

This condo is in a great location. Beach is not crazy packed and you have plenty of room. Everything is close and easily accessible. The only thing I had a problem with is the supposed “beach storage” that the complex has. DO NOT use it. People allegedly believe it’s a lost and found or communal beach equipment. All of our beach stuff we stored there on the first day was gone when we came to get set up on the beach. My kids were devastated. I was able to get our beach chairs back and a couple of sand toys but lost multiple scoops, shovels, nets and water toys. Other than that experience, we enjoyed the condo.

May Vacay / first time in Gulf Shores

First time in Gulf Shores. Usually go to Destin. First I want to say, we’ve stayed in enough condos to honestly say they are almost all the same. A condo is a condo. That being said, Unit 304 at Royal Palms was perfect for my wife and I. It says it’ll sleep 6 with the bunks and sofa sleeper but honestly, any more than 2 adults and maybe 2 younger kids and you’d be pushin it. Perfect for a couple and maybe put a more comfortable couch in living room. I could say this about other condos we’ve stayed in so I digress. Ice maker didn’t work and owners were aware but didn’t say so up front. We managed with some ice trays we found. Had a little snafu with parking pass. The cleaning staff didn’t leave on counter and we had a little run in with little big man at gate. Found parking pass buried deep in guest book. My wife felt the condo, especially the kitchen area could have been cleaner. Crumbs and grease in places that were pretty obvious. The swimming pool is tiny and I mean tiny. All that being said, we really enjoyed staying at the Palms. I’m not complaining but if nobody says anything, these things are not going to be addressed by the owners who live in another state and Michael & Michele were super nice!! (Get that Ice maker fixed ;-) The location of the Palms was a big thing that we both really liked. It did feel a lot more private and not over crowded. Beach access was awesome and we really did enjoy the feel of Gulf Shores all in all…

What a great spot!

This was a very clean rental! And the location was perfect for us, on the quieter end of the beach by the state park. It was still pretty easy to walk to dinner each evening. The indoor and outdoor pools were great when we needed a break from the beach. Comfortable bed, and we really appreciated the nightlights in the bathrooms.

Perfect Quiet Location

We just enjoyed Spring Break here and we had the best time! The location of this place is perfect- it’s right next to the state park which gave us plenty of room on the beach as it filled up. We were also located a bit away (but still walkable for us) from the busier part of Gulf Shores so it was quiet and felt very safe. The hot tub at this place is the hottest one I’ve ever been in which was nice coming out of the cooler ocean. We enjoyed the layout of the condo as well. One thing to consider is the bunk beds are shorter than regular beds so our 14 year old was not the right size but simply slept on the pull out couch. Communication was excellent with the owner, very prompt and friendly. The supplies on site were nice. Very nice bath towels and some nice beach towels available too. They really had everything. If you go for a longer stay, you may also want to consider bringing some extra dishwasher soap. I would definitely stay here again. Thanks!

Overall good

Nice overall. Good location. We did find a pair of socks in the sleeper couch so that was a little off putting. Shower rods were rusty along with the drain stopper in one shower. Refrigerator needed to be wiped out. Balcony furniture and balcony decor is rusty and definitely needs to be replaced. Lastly, I think it would be helpful to advertise that you’re going to make people leave the temperature at 72. Some people are hot natured and this isn’t a comfortable temperature for everyone. Other than these few things, we enjoyed the condo and the area.

About the host

Hosted by Mike and Michele

Host profile image
We purchased our vacation home at Royal Palms in 2016 because we love the area and the friendly people, not to mention the best food around.The views are spectacular and the beaches will make you never to want to leave. A vacationer's paradise.

Why they chose this property

We decided to purchase a slice of paradise to enjoy with family and friends. Having Gulf State Park immediately to the east provides about 3 miles of nearly private undeveloped beach and a wonderful fishing pier. The fact that Royal Palms is a low density building us an addition plus, keeping the area uncrowded

What makes this property unique

Our unit is in the center of the building with a curved oversized balcony with great views to the east and west.The 3rd floor is a great floor. The ocean is at your back door.
