About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire condo to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Time to get… 🎶 Knee deep in the water somewhere! 🎶 on island time!

Discover the unparalleled beauty of an East corner unit, offering unobstructed views spanning miles of unspoiled State Park dunes from the balcony, bedroom, and living room windows. Feast your eyes on the Gulf waters right below, extending towards miles of pristine beaches to the East, and charming views to the North of lush Gulf Shores State Park. With two pools and proximity to fine dining, golf, water parks, amusement parks, mini-golf, hiking trails, a fishing pier, shopping, and more, this is the ideal place to be. Covered parking adds to the convenience of your stay.

This condo has undergone recent renovations and is meticulously maintained, ensuring cleanliness, comfort, and spaciousness. Brand new TVs, new comforters in bedrooms, and enhanced cable service! The furnishings, décor, and A/C have been thoughtfully tended to. Enveloped by the sound of waves, the fully stocked kitchen invites you to prepare a meal, while the 42" flat-screen TV and stereo provide relaxation. TV entertainment is available in the den or in both bedrooms. The master bedroom features a BRAND NEW 2024 king-size bed, and the second bedroom hosts a queen bed, both offering views of the Gulf. A new addition of built-in bunk beds enhances the condo's capacity to accommodate a total of 6 guests. The bedrooms are fully carpeted, with tiled flooring throughout the rest of the condo. Peaceful and serene, the only sound you'll hear at night is the calming rhythm of the ocean. Revel in the amazing panoramic views!

UPDATE: As of October 2024 there is a new Flat Screen Smart TV and new Lazy Boy Recliner in the living room and the carpeting in all bedrooms was replaced with LVP. In November the condo also went through a professional semi annual deep cleaning

Perfect location away from the craziness of Gulf Shores. Perfect for families with close beach access. 2 bed/2 bath with bunkbed alcove. Convenient location to both Orange Beach and Gulf Shores. Park pass thru close to condo to avoid traffic.

The location is great! Unit could use some updates. The carpet in the bedrooms is very worn and dirty. It needs to be replaced asap. Beds were comfortable. Other than the carpet needing replacing, dates it was as described. I always take air fresheners, sheets to cover furniture and my own bedding when I stay at any rental units.

Great location and view

We have stayed at the Royal Palms for several years. The location near the state park is excellent. Each year they seem to keep making improvements to the faucilty. This VRBO had an excellent view, clean and beautiful. You can walk for miles on the beach in each direction and the residents of the Gulf Shores area are always friendly and helpful. Really enjoyed it. Jill and Mike

It was nice that it had a washer/dryer in the unit. We liked that the condo building was the last one before the Gulf Shores State Park. We were able to social distance from others. It was very congested further up the beach, and very little social distancing.

We love Gulf Shores! I do have to say, it was the busiest we’ve ever seen it. Our condo had several issues. Missing batteries in remotes, light bulbs that need replacing, radio didn’t work, beds not comfortable. Actual wire out the side of a bed. Really time for owner to invest in new mattresses. Weather was as expected. Lovely!

Peffect getaway

We came to vist our kids for xmas and decided to do a few days at the beach. This condo fit our price and what needed for #sleeping. Furniture a bit large for family living area.I would say dated appliances and kitchen. But worked fine. Loved the corner unit and views outstanding. The beds were wonderful. THE VIEWS are what made it. And location easy. We would stay again.

Overall, very nice. (Repair the recliner)

One thing that caught my eye in the photo when selecting the condo. The recliner. It was a must since my husband has had two knee surgeries this year. First thing before unpacking, the recliner became stuck in the reclining position for the entire week. Also, there was a red stain on the sheet in the guest bedroom. Otherwise, it was a very nice condo. Lots of kitchen items, ice maker was awesome, lots of towels & bath cloths, the washer and dryer were very quiet. Fix the recliner, I will certainly rent again.

Office did not know pool security code. Asked again at checkout, still did not know. I had to tell them what it was. Unit 901 water pipes extremely noisy with renters washing clothes every night from 10 pm to 2 am. Inconsiderate! Hall bath drain stopped up. Property located perfectly at the end right before State Park. Why no restroom at pool area?? Very unusual.

Small space and layout

Neither Vrbo, Poole and associates or royal palms has any representation of th actual size or layout of this or any other spaces at royal palms. Poole and associates scams customers that require a second vehicle out of Moore money and aren’t up front in this manner. The condo had space take up in master sink cabinet with several gallons of paint and boxes. The master ceiling fan globe was broken with several pieces hanging from the fan.

Terrible to say the least

Below is the review I left the property….. I’m normally not one to negatively comment. I try to only post the positive and ignore bad reviews, but Lord. We have tried contacting you since the first day of the trip and get resolutions to our issues and literally not one thing to show you care about our issues has happened. We arrive with groceries and a note telling us the fridge isn’t cooling was an unpleasant surprise. I understand the storm from last year could have caused some issues but all it seemed the contractors only added a little tile and paint. The pool being closed was bad but it seemed you corrected that by letting us go across the street where you “owned other condos” but the second day we were there, we were told to leave and not come back. I felt like a criminal in front of my family. Evidently, we were put in the middle of some feud between each building going by the way the security guards explained. Lawsuits being threatened between each property because of beach access isn’t my issue. I just wanted what I paid for with the condo and pool. Once the pool was “ready”, we went down and it was full of paint chips and trash including a cigarette butt. I have 3 kids 13 and younger and none wanted to go in the pool. I really hope future guests aren’t so inconvenienced because this was easily the worst beach trip I’ve been on.
