We loved our stay!

Guest: WomanAboutTown (Jackson, Miss.)
Date of Stay: 05/17/08 Review Submitted: 05/29/08

This is a wonderful condo! It's on the top floor of the property, which makes for wonderful views from the seaside balcony. Also, because Royal Palms abuts a state park, you will enjoy a beautifully uncrowded beach during your stay. The extra bathroom is wonderfully handy, and we found the entire place clean and comfortable upon our arrival. The location is impossible to beat. You are within minutes of most of the area's dining and shopping, with the beach only a short boardwalk away.

The best condo and vacation we have ever had. My family and I stayed for a week and did not want to leave. This condo and location is perfect. The beach is not crowded like it is at other locations. If this is the size condo you need, you need to rent it now and don't bother looking at other ones. I just can't wait until next year. I don't have to bother looking for a condo. I have found it and will rent from you every time we come to the beach. The owner ( David ), is fantastic. Whether it is e-mail or phone, he get's back to you and answers any questions you have. Perfect owner to rent from. Thank you for a great vacation and maybe next year my family and I can stay a little longer.

Perfect Get-Away

Guest: beachbum2 (Mount Olive, Alabama)
Date of Stay: 05/12/11 Review Submitted: 05/24/11

We enjoyed our peaceful vacation. We watched the dolphin play in the gulf, walked the beach, and enjoyed local restaurants. Many food choices from seafood, steaks, mexican, and fastfood. This condo is quiet, but close enough to any activities you are looking for. (dolphin cruises, parasailing, deep sea fishing, a quick trip to Biloxi 2 hrs away, or the Blue Angels Naval Aviation Museum in Pensacola, a short distance away.) There is plenty to do, or just do nothing and relax. Our favorite restaurants are: Desoto's, The Shrimp Basket that have daily specials, Tequila's Mexican Restaurant by Winn Dixie, and of course Lambert's the home of the throwed rolls! You will not be disappointed. We look forward to staying here again in a couple of months.

Week vacation

Guest: Horne Family (Athens, AL)
Date of Stay: 03/30/11 Review Submitted: 04/05/11

David, **** This email is lengthy, but wanted you to know how we loooooved the condo and our trip! Thank you.. We didn't wanna go home..... we loved it sooooo much! Thank you for your hospitality! I took bunches and bunches of pictures! I'll email you some grrrrreat photos! Nursing student by day / amateur photographer by daydreams. The condo was so beautiful and everything accomodating at our fingertips; from Kitchen to bed, baths and living room, patio; so so nice! The view was awesome! We enjoyed the indoor pool very much! Of course the beach play time was daily! Alexandria's first beach experience was great! She squealed loudly when she ran up to the ocean edge! She was in amazement and in LOVE! She is showing to be a "beach gal"! Every Early Morning- we walked the beach and picked up sea shells! DVD was wonderful! Four year old Alexandria---HAD to WATCH CareBears, SpongeBob and her favorite DVD;s while inside the condo.... We enjoyed the cable, when Alex would allow us to watch TV!!!! LOL. The WiFi - Internet connection was great! I have an online class and I also had to study and research while on vacation. I reluctantly studied, ha.ha. ; but was able to easily surf and study online in the condo! loooooved it! We cooked every day, but went out to eat two of our vacation days. The Original Oyster House was wonderful where we dined by their lagoon window seating and took fun pictures in their front funny face gator & shrimp picture prompts; and our last night we were advised to go to Bahama Bobs; it was good, but the OOHouse was the best! We did venture for some stout coffee at the donut/chicken cafe at Sawgrass Landing on Hwy 59; where Alexandria gazed at a live Alligator named "Sammie". The manager called Sammie over to the fence and fed him up close. Alexandria was amazed! We did buy a small stuffed rolling-laughing -Alligator from the OOHouse gift shop; that of course Alexaandria named = "Sammie"! Oh, almost forgot to mention, we did bring our "captian"; mini-schnauzer -Mr.Frosty. (Alexandria couldn't bear to leave him at home boarding...) He was boarded at the Coastal Pet Resort. It is a pet boarding -located --off Hwy59 after passing Old Time Pottery . Retired Veterinarian Dr.Ron Hayles owns and manages his pet resort. They are open 7 days a week ; Dr.Ron and his staff were awesome! Thanks so much David! We appreciate you! Scott wants to stay there again sometime sooooon!!!!! Sincerely, The Horne Family; Athens,AL

Picked a Real Bad Time to Go...

Guest: vabbey (Smyrna, TN)
Date of Stay: 06/25/10 Review Submitted: 12/02/10

I had to wait awhile before I wrote in a review here...because we picked the worse time ever to go, the oil had just started coming to shore the week before we went down, got to its worst while we were there. Words cant describe what kind of scene that was, it was really sad how bad the beach looked. I was really disappointed that we werent able to use the beach. On the flip side, I can not complain about the condo, its location, and its amenities. The best part about being there when we were, there were only maybe 10 families staying in the condo building the same time we were, so we had the pool to ourselves pretty much everytime we went to swim. The pools were both nice and kept clean. The security was always around and very friendly, and would spend time talking to us. The condo was clean, and was ready for us before check in time. The kitchen had everything we needed and had just been remodeled, and the bathrooms too. My only complaint is that the master bedroom light is hooked to the fan in the bathroom, which was loud and was annoying when getting up to go to the bathroom at night. We really enjoyed sitting on the balcony the most, we pretty much had the beach to ourselves...one day we were standing on the beach and realized there were only 5 more people on the beach for as far as we could see. Hopefully its all clean now and business is booming...becuase we want to come back to this same place next year...you cannot beat the price!!

A perfect trip

Guest: The Monkeys' Mama (Prattville, AL)
Date of Stay: 11/20/10 Review Submitted: 11/30/10

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The weather was perfect and the condo was delightful. It was very clean and comfy and had all the creature comforts we needed. We had such a great stay right before Thanksgiving. The weather was wonderful and the seafood was superb. BP was cleaning the beaches during our trip, but were very helpful in navigating the equipment. We couldn't have asked for a smoother transition. The owner was awesome! The whole process was seamless.

First Family Vacation

Guest: Mississippi Family (Southaven)
Date of Stay: 06/16/10 Review Submitted: 06/24/10

This condo was just as pictured. The area was great, easy to find, convenient to water park and restaurants. There's an empty lot on one side and Gulf State Park on the other side so the beach was not crowded. The owner was pleasant to work with.
