Welcome to 6608 Plantation Palms. Plantation Palms is the newest and nicest building at Gulf Shores Plantation Beach Resort, a gated vacation community. The Palms offers the largest condominiums and balconies at all of the Plantation!
Warning--this is not your ordinary rental! **2011 Updates--Granite in the kitchen and bath, and new bedroom furniture!!** Don't spend your vacation in an outdated condo!
This beachfront condo features a huge, corner balcony offering spectacular Gulf Front and Coastline views. Unlike many condos, you have an incredible view of the ocean from the kitchen, living room, and balcony. Our condo offers a view unmatched by others. If you want a view, this is THE unit!
You would be hard pressed to find a nicer unit with a better view ANYWHERE on the gulf coast at these owner-direct rates!
In addition to the private bedroom overlooking Kiva Dunes golf course, this condo also features hallway bunk beds making it ideal for both couples and families with children. There is a TV and DVD/VCR player in the living room, and a flat screen TV and DVD player in the bedroom.
This resort offers 7 pools (one indoor); seven tennis courts; putting green; nationally ranked Kiva Dunes golf course; poolside pottery painting--everything you could possibly want on your beach vacation EXCEPT crowds, concrete and billboards! You are close enough to enjoy the restaurants, shopping and entertainment of Gulf Shores, but are away from the overdeveloped, high density complexes of Gulf Shores and Orange Beach. If you want to relax, this is the place!
Our goal is to provide an exceptional vacation experience with unbeatable value. Our guests return year after year. I hope you'll be one of them.

Map & Owner's Profile
Superior Condo + Best View + Corner Balcony = Perfect!
Year Purchased: 2002
Why the Owner Chose Plantation Palms
My husband and I bought this unit in 2002 when our daughters were 1 and 2 years old. We wanted to have a place where we could create a lifetime of vacation memories. We love Gulf Shores Plantation because of its serenity. We spend most of our lives in a whirlwind of activity. When we go to the beach, we just want to relax and get away from it all. Gulf Shores Plantation is a wonderful family resort that appeals to both parents and children.
The Unique Benefits at this Condo
We love the large balcony and fantastic view offered by our condo. When comparing units, be sure to request views from INSIDE the unit. Our condo offers a fantastic gulf front view from the moment you enter the condo! Other units may only offer views from the patio or balcony. My girls love swimming in the many different pools by day and hunting for sand crabs by flashlight at night.

We had a wonderful time staying in your condo at the Plantation Palms. It was our first family vacation and we came home with wonderful memories! The only thing I would have done differently is stayed longer. We are now in the process of trying to plan a fall vacation and plan on staying in your room again.
Owner response:I'm so glad you had a great time. You were our first guests to enjoy the new bedroom furniture, and we're planning even more updates by fall! We look forward to having you again.

We have rented this condo from kellie so many times I have lost count. I am thinking a frequent renters card, 10 rentals and 11th is free! My family loves this place. This place is perfect for quiet beach family times. Grab the kids, stop by Walmart or Brunos get all your groceries head to the Palms and enjoy the 7 pools, the view and all the beach space. This place is not crowded, everyone here is just like you, honest families. This unit is more spacious than other 1br condos on the beach. My kidss love the bunk beds. Kellie is always sooooo nice and accomadating. NEVER had a problem. Its always clean. I have been to 42 countries, 46 states including Hawaii and Alaska, 5 cruises all over the place. And this is my favorite place in the world. My only negative is I should have bought one when I had the money!
Owner response:Steve, thank you so much for the glowing review! Our goal is for every one of our guests to feel the same way you do! We hope you will continue your beach tradition with us for many years to come.

This condo is the perfect place. The location and view are outstanding. My wife and I enjoyed 7 wonderful days the middle of October. We were able to bike ride out of the condo every morning on route 180 and enjoy the pleasures of the beach each afternoon. The view during coffee and cocktails was memorable. We will certainly be back in the future.
Owner response:Thank you for your kind comments. October is such a wonderful month to visit the beach. Highway 180 is great for bike rides, especially the part of 180 with the bike path. It is nice and flat--just the way I like it. :-) We look forward to having you as our guest again.

My Wife and I stayed at Kellie's condo May 1-8. we had a great time. The beaches were empty along with the pools. May is a great time to come to Ft Morgan. We only had 1 real bad weather day. Went over to Daulhin Island on the ferry and into Mobile to see the Alabama. Ft morgan is very quiet and laid back we loved it. we are planning on coming back someday with the grandkids. The condo was good and well maintained. Thanks for everything Kellie
Owner response:Thank you for your feedback. May is a wonderful time to visit the Gulf coast. The ferry excursion to Dauphin Island and/or Mobile is a treat.

My husband and I went to this condo for our anniversary. We had a great time. I was too cold to be by the gulf, but the view was great and the condo was very nice. We will go again. Terri and Jeff Dothan, AL

Nina and I stayed at your very nice condo from Wednesday, Nov 25 until Sunday, Nov. 29. The condo is very comfortable with all of the kitchen items needed for a very nice stay. The porch is really nice for a beautiful sunset. We actually prefer this condo ver the Beach Club Condos in Doral, where we have stayed many times. We will move our next stay back here. Thank you for your Hospitality and friendship while we were planning and stying at your condo. Chuck & Nina(Jeirenne) McCraney

We stayed in 6608 in May 2008 and LOVED it! The condo was imaculately clean, from the linens to the dishes. The view was exceptional, as were the ammenities that the Palms had to offer. The grills were very well maintained, and the groundskeepers did a fantastic job of keeping up the property. The pools were spotless, and the area is convienient to everything. We cannot wait to rent from Kellie and her family again. (we also got a great Christmas card from her too!) Definately give this condo a chance. You won't be disappointed!
