Why the Owner Chose Island Royale
We love the indoor pool for those in between seasons like March, April, October and November when it may be just a bit too cold to go in an outside pool. Of course December-February the indoor pool is a must. We also love the ability to walk to stores and restaurants. Gulf Shores is also great for biking with many dedicated bike lanes and sidewalks, we find it to be much more bike and pedestrian friendly than any other beach location I can think of. But my favorite thing about Gulf Shores is meeting people from all over the USA: Kansas, Texas, Iowa, Minnesota, Illinois, and on and on. We love meeting people and talking with them about why they chose Gulf Shores, how the enjoy it, etc.
The Unique Benefits at this Condo
Our property gives you the beach front experience: Sit on the balcony and listen to the waves. That is #1. Open the screen door in the master bedroom and sleep listening to the waves. That is #2, or maybe a tie for #1. We are also one of the rare units that shares our beach gear. We leave the balcony storage open so guests may use our beach chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards and beach toys. This is a big advantage when it comes to packing for the beach. We also stock our unit with playing cards, puzzles and other games and items for those rare rainy days.

We just returned from vacation in Gulf Shores and had a wonderful stay at your families condo. We enjoyed the well decorated condo. We had lots of room for our family of four. The kitchen is very well equipped and the laundry room is large. We had a beautiful view from the large balcony and enjoyed eating out there and watching the beach come to life every morning. We had great beach access and the water was wonderful. We would highly recommend this condo to other familes!

Our stay at this Island Royale property was wonderful. The condo is well appointed and beautifully decorated with the owner's original artwork. The kitchen is well supplied with everything we needed, which was great because we ate in for breakfast and lunch every day. We spent most of our time on the beach, but because we had young children with us we also took in a couple of rounds of mini golf (Pirate's Cove was our top pick; Zooland ... not so much) and our dolphin cruise (Cetacean Cruises) was great. We have high praise for the service and food at Bahama Bob's. The Hangout was a fun experience, but the service wasn't so great (the kids loved it). The Pink Pony is right on the beach, which was good, but the service was really poor. We had both good food and good service at Lulu's; we stayed there for hours because the kids were enjoying themselves and the live music was great. If you pick just one restaurant to go to, we highly recommend DeSoto's, where we had the best food and great service. The owners of this unit are great to work with -- providing lots of helpful information and allowing guests to use their beach toys (which we really appreciated). Best of all -- they're very prompt in their responses and accommodating.

Our stay at the unit was absolutely wonderful. The size and furnishings of the unit were great and inviting. Well stocked kitchen. The unit was very clean. The balcony was prefect for eating and beach/ocean viewing. Parking and elevators were conveniently located. The location on Beach Blvd was very easy to find off of 59. Access to the beach was easy and the public areas were maintained. The beach area was clean and easy walk to eating establishments.

We recently stayed here, and thoroughly enjoyed our week long visit. Prior to arrival, the owner was extremely prompt and detailed in answering all questions and concerns. He was a true pleasure to deal with. The condo is well taken care of, and the on-site amenities are great. Most anything you need for your stay, is already included. Breath taking view from the balcony. The beach was absolutely gorgeous. We were fortunate to only have rain for one day during our stay, and the indoor pool and indoor hot tub came in quite handy. Would definitely recommend staying here, as we will be doing so ourselves in the future. Thanks.

Jim, We really enjoyed our time in your condo. The views where great and the location in the middle of everything was excellent. This was the first condo we have rented that had a real full size washer and dryer. Thanks again
