About this property
Direct Beachfront • Massive Balcony • Pool & Spa
Summary:
🌊 Enjoy sweeping Gulf views from our 3rd-floor Royal Palms retreat, where dolphins are often spotted right from the balcony. The spacious, covered balcony is perfect for morning coffee, ocean breezes, and relaxed seaside meals. With a private boardwalk to the beach and an easy walk along the sand to Sea-N-Suds and The Hangout, this is a peaceful beachfront stay with everything close by. 🌴
The Space:
Our beachfront condo at Royal Palms sits beside Gulf State Park, offering a quieter stretch of beach with wide-open Gulf views. The space includes 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, with a king bedroom featuring direct Gulf views and balcony access, a queen bedroom, and a queen sofa sleeper that also opens to the balcony, sleeping up to 6 guests comfortably. The real standout is the spacious balcony and peaceful setting — designed for slow mornings, uncrowded beach days, and evenings listening to the waves.

This is the best place we have stayed at this resort. We love it here. I couldn’t open my emails through Vrbo with arrival instructions from the owners, but I don’t think this was their fault. I think there was an issue that was email related, but I was able to message him and he replied within minutes.
Amazing property right on the beach. Unit was clean, stocked, and the check in process was very easy. The hosts kept excellent communication and made sure we were taken care of. Highly recommend!

Thank you, Kevin! We're thrilled you enjoyed your stay and found the property clean and welcoming. Your kind words about our communication mean a lot to us. We can't wait to welcome you back for another amazing experience!
Outstanding experience, from first contact to checkout. Communication with Scott was excellent. Condo was great, clean, prefect view and level. Everything we needed was provided. We are already looking at booking another trip!
Amazing location and view of the gulf from a huge balcony! Exceptional communication from hosts. Would definitely stay at this property again in the future.
Loved the location right beside Gulf State Park. It is also the last condo so it isn’t as congested. Plenty of space - pools could use and update but they were adequate. Both beds slept great!
Overall great experience. Everything was clean and we loved that huge balcony with the patio set. Definitely would stay here again.

About the host
Hosted by Scott
My wife and I raise our 3 beautiful kids in Nashville, TN. My wife introduced me to the Smokies years ago, where our hosting journey began when we bought a cabin to share with our wonderful guests. Next we took our hosting to the beautiful sugar sand beach of Gulf Shores, a place we've visited since we first met in college, and our favorite beach and food escape. Then our family of Disney fans expanded to the most magical place on Earth, right next to Walt Disney World in Kissimmee, FL. We now co-host properties for owners like us, as we love providing great moments and memories to families and friends.
We are blessed to be on this journey and called to serve others in this way. We know these areas well so let us know if you ever have any questions, and we hope to have the privilege of hosting you!
