Fantastic unit, and building. The indoor pool was amazing since it tained our first two days. My only thing to note, is that the bed that is sort of in the wall is very short. If you are over 5'2 its likely going to be uncomfortable.

The condo was clean and so cute. The location of the condo on the beach was perfect due to the park next store. The beach was very crowded to one side so it was nice to have no buildings on the other to spread out from all the people.

Thanks, Michelle, the location is ideal and what makes it even better is that empty lot to enjoy more beach for you & your family! It can feel like your own private slice, especially in the off season. Come back and visit again soon!

There was obviously some issue as the condo smelled very musty as you entered and they had a dehumidifier running that was full when we got there. Both shower heads dripped so we had to keep bathroom door shut at night to sleep. Would also recommend the single cup coffee maker be upgraded as it is a very old model and coffee was lukewarm. Otherwise condo was very clean and we loved the location.

Thank you for your feedback, and we’re sorry to hear you had a 3-star experience. We do wish we had heard from you during your stay so we could have addressed any concerns right away. This beachfront 1-bedroom condo offers incredible value, and we’re glad you found it very clean and enjoyed the location. The bathroom is connected to the bedroom, and a dehumidifier is provided to help keep things comfortable in our humid climate. For best results, we recommend using the bathroom fan and emptying the dehumidifier as needed - this is also noted in the check-in information. We’ll check the shower heads and appreciate your note about the coffee maker. The condo is equipped with both a single-serve and a 12-cup option for guest convenience. We hope to welcome you back in the future.

Great location on the beach!

We had a wonderful week long stay at the Royal Palms! You can walk on the beach to Sea n Suds for lunch or dinner, walk on the beach to the pier, or to Waffle House for breakfast. Fantastic beach front view, we spent a lot of time on the balcony overlooking the Gulf. The condo is small but works well for a couple, or with one or two small children. Easy drive to restaurants and souvenirs. Indoor and outdoor pools available. Go have a good time!
