    Beautiful view from the balcony, very comfortable bed, and clean. We really enjoyed our stay. We could see Gulf Shores State Park Pier from the balcony, and it was a short walk down the beach. We loved watching the dolphins.

    A perfect place for our family. Loved being close to pier and not being in a super crowded area. Will definitely rent again. Host was attentive and the home was clean and had all that we needed. Will rent again.

    We recently stayed at this Royal Palms property. The location was excellent— conveniently situated on the beach, making it ideal for a relaxing getaway. Communication with the owners was adequate and timely when needed.However, we were disappointed with the cleanliness of the unit. It was clear the condo had not been thoroughly cleaned. There was visible dirt throughout, and the floors and surfaces were covered in hair and debris. The sheets had hair on them, there was a packaging wrapper and dice (?) on the bedroom floor (no way could the room have been swept), there was what appeared to either be vomit or feces on the shower curtain, stains on quilts provided, and paint coming off the walls and baseboards. We wiped down the bunk bed ladder for our little ones and the wipe was black. We ended up putting them in the king bed with us all week once we saw whatever was smeared along the bunk wall as well. Rugs need replaced. Toilet seats didn’t seem to fit correctly. You sat on part seat/part bowl. Shower pressure was nonexistent, we ended up washing our hair in the kitchen sink to remove shampoo. While we appreciated the setting and ease of communication, the lack of cleanliness significantly impacted our overall experience. We hope these issues are addressed moving forward, as the property has great potential with better maintenance.

    We had a great stay at this Royal Palms unit. The views from the 12th floor were amazing! The unit was just a described. Having two full bathrooms was extremely nice as well. Located at three east end of Gulf Shores made it easy to enjoy everything from Dauphin Island to Perdido Key. If we return, we will definitely look to see if this unit is avaliable and we would recommend it to others.

    Amazing views, 12th floor so little wait for the elevator but worth it, clean room. Cookware and kitchen could use some updates and the dishwasher was crooked but worked great. Quick response from owners of anything was needed. Sauna, hot tub and steam room were an added luxury on our cold, windy rainy day!

    You can't beat this location. The views are out of this world, and we love being so close to the State Park as well. It's also close to many restaurants and other activities. Jason was an excellent host. The check-in instructions were clear, and he was also so quick to respond to any questions we had. As with most rentals in this area, you are only provided with a starter supply of basic necessities (as noted in the property description), so plan accordingly. This condo is perfect for a couple or small family.

    Had an excellent stay. We decided last minute and reached out to Jason the morning we wanted to book. He was very kind and incredibly quick to respond. The unit is well maintained and excellent views of the pier, sunrise, and sunset. Always a less crowded feel as royal palms is the last commercial tower before the land break between gulf shores and Orange beach. Highly recommended.

    We came down to Gulf Shores with our baseball team and had a great experience. The room was very clean and had a great view of the beach. Our family had a great time and we'd certainly book again in our next visit to Gulf Shores.
