The Host kept in constant contact with me letting me know things that I needed. He also answered any questions I had. The condo was enough space for my guest and myself to move around freely. It was clean and had extra kitchen appliances. The view from the balcony was amazing.

The condo was the best we've ever stayed in. The balcony was the best feature it was HUGE!! A little outdated but it was well worth it for the view and beach access. Couldn't check in early which was a little inconvenient but we knew that ahead of time. The air conditioning worked great and trust me we needed it. Close to everything would definitely stay here again. One piece of advice dont leave beach chairs down by the pool where there are shelves for them one of ours were stolen.

This place was absolutely wonderful! My family and I had a great time at the beach and the place was clean and functional which is helpful! Two things I wish we had that we didn’t was smart tv’s in all rooms and a detachable shower head in atleast one bathroom. We have small girls with lots of hair! and trying to wash their hair in the shower was nearly impossible to do with a standard shower head was not happening. Note to self I will bring my own next time! I would absolutely book here again and probably will for next year! This is our new favorite destination for summer!

Always a Delight

I have stayed at this property several times and it has always been a delight. The unit is clean and pleasant. I appreciate how well-appointed it is — just the right amount of furniture and all of it comfortable, and every room has tasteful decor. The owner is responsive to questions and concerns and lives in the area (and I was so happy to meet him in person this time when he brought us some new hangars!). Island Royale itself is a lovely place to stay, with a good amount of covered parking, convenient elevators and carts, and a spectacular view from every unit. Strongly recommend!! (Note to those who are elderly or infirm: bring along portable safety bars for the shower/tub combinations — you can find them online.)

We love the beaches of Gulf shores and try to come here as much as possible. We have been coming to Gulf Shores now since 2000 and it has been one of the best places to spend great quality family time.

Why they chose this property

We love the location and that it is not oversized with lots of crowded beaches. Love having the convenient store located across the street. The condos have oversized balconies that makes it great for having meals while watching the dolphins.

What makes this property unique

Sauna, Steam Room, Large Oversized Balcony, Not overcrowded, Pool, Hot Tubs, Great Location with lots of wonderful restaurants located near by.
