An oversized beach front private balcony with a panoramic view of emerald green water and white sandy beaches can be accessed from both the living room and master bedroom.

Great condo and stay
2nd year at this condo! Again, super clean, comfortable and fantastic view. Jason always makes the checkin process super easy and can be reached any time needed. First year at Shrimp Festival. Super busy and luckily condo far enough away from the festival that it was easy to get back to condo. Super clean beach and great indoor/outdoor pool/hot tubs! Note during Shrimp festival long waits at restaurants and lots of detours. Go early. Enjoyed our stay so much and will always book with Jason & Sonya for future stays!

Wonderful Family Vacay
We had 6 of us in the Condo comfortably. Felt plenty spacious and we loved the size of condo facility itself and the easy access to the beach! The balcony was perfect for breakfast and mimosas watching the sun come up. In addition to all of this the Host was incredibly personable and even called to check on us and make sure that we had everything we needed and that our trip would be the best! They really went above and beyond! Will be booking with them again.

Great place to stay!
This is the third time we have booked one of Jason’s condos. All three were in a different unit and all have been excellent. Jason goes above and beyond to make sure you have a clean and comfortable stay. The beds we’re comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed. Jason will be my first choice for future vacations.

Fabulous view!
Fabulous view, convenient location, clean and comfortable property. Easy to communicate with the owner. (Heads-up for the elderly or infirm: there are no safety bars in the shower/tubs.) I’ve stayed in a couple of other units at Island Royale — it’s an excellent property overall, and this unit is no exception. I’d planned to share with my sister-in-law, but my brother decided to come down too and bring the dog, so they opted for a pet-friendly hotel off the beach — so I had the place all to myself and it was delightful. Would definitely recommend.

Bathrooms were not as clean as should be mainly the tubs. Water wouldn’t drain properly in sinks or tubs. Pretty place but I would suggest you put up new towel and toilet paper rods. Would make bathrooms look much nicer.

Perfect Beach Vacation Base
This was the perfect base for our family's beach vacation. Close to restaurants, activities, and shopping- but the best part is walking out the building door straight onto the beach for fun in the waves and sand. Our kids loved the pool and kiddie pools for after beach time. We also enjoyed coffee on the balcony while watching dolphins play, and falling asleep to the gentle lapping of waves. Jason and Sonya were great hosts- friendly, exceptional communication, and a wealth of information for ideas on what to do. I would highly recommend and hope we are able to come back soon!

Relax on the Beach
The unit we rent met our needs. The view from the deck was breathtaking as we watched the dolphins swim. The walk to the beach was very short which made setting up for the day very easy and quick. We had such a relaxing time and enjoyed ourselves so much. The Island Royals was making repairs due to the hurricane and they were painting, none of which impeded our fun. There was two days without one of the elevators but we needed the exercise using the stairs. I would highly recommend unit 503 for anyone needing a two bedroom unit.

About the host

Hosted by Jason Willis

Host profile image
My family and I have vacationed in Gulf Shores since 2000 and absolutely love the area and the great family feel. There are a lot of things to do from Waterville, The Track, Deep Sea Fishing, Pairasailing, Dolphin Cruises and Horseback riding. So many wonderful places to eat also. We would love to share our new condo with you and also help you with any questions you have about the area or main attractions. We hope you enjoy your stay!!!

Why they chose this property

Island Royale is one of our favorite places to stay. We enjoy the features the building has from its outdoor/indoor pool, sauna, steamroom and workout area. The condo is also located directly across from a convenience store which is great if you need snacks or for those early morning krispy kreme doughnuts.

What makes this property unique

The unit is beautifully decorated with a soothing beach theme. It really has a calm and relaxing feel inside. The unit is very clean and well maintained. The 5th floor balcony is high enough to have a really good view, but low enough that you have a good beach view. This unit is also located next door to one of our other condos which is great with large groups or multiple family gatherings.
