Map & Owner's Profile
Proud New Owners! Have Just Re-Decorated 9th-Floor Beachfront!
Year Purchased: 2011
Why the Owner Chose Island Royale
We have been vacationing in Gulf Shores for more than 20 years. When an opportunity came up to buy a unit in Island Royale, we were thrilled. The building suits our family perfectly with its location, amenities and nearby attractions.
The Unique Benefits at this Condo
We love that we can be on the beach or in the pool within a minute. We've travelled to Florida, California and much of North America and we've found that the quality of the sand on Gulf Shores' beaches is the best we have ever experienced.

That's us, enjoying an evening walk on the beach in June, 2011. (From right: Sheryl, Brody and Randy) We are very proud to now be part of the Gulf Shores family.
We would be honored to have you stay in our newly-redecorated condo, so that you may also enjoy a wonderful Gulf Coast experience.

We have been coming to Gulf Shores since 1990 and this is one of the nicest condos we have stayed in. Shops, stores and restaurants are all within walking distance. The condo is directly on the beach. You wake up in the morning and see the ocean from your pillow. Families with babies/children were staying next door and we never heard any noise from either side. Would definitely recommend. Thanks for sharing your condo with us.

My family of four, with two kids ages 5 and 10, stayed in this unit for a week and it was awesome. Very clean and well equipped, this place had everything we needed. The furnishings were newer and nicer than I expected to find in a beach rental, everything was top notch. The pools and beach were great. The location of the condo is also a plus, very close to the center of town but not overcrowded. If we decide to go back next year (which we probably will) we will definetly try to stay here again.

My best friend and I went for a girls' weekend and we couldn't have had a better time. The new decor was lovely. We spent hours sitting on the balcony watching the waves crash. We rented lounge chairs and an umbrella from the beach for $25/day which was great. And Pier 33 is right across the street so getting groceries, beach accessories, etc was a breeze. The kitchen was well stocked with wine glasses and dishes and everything. We will definitely be back soon.
