Wonderful trip

Came down with sisters/friend. The condo was beautifully decorated and clean. The location was perfect! No high rise on one side of the condo, so we had beautiful views from our windows. Also beautiful places to take pictures and the pier is just a short walk where you can get pictures under it. Definitely will stay here again.

About the host

Host profile image
We have been owning Gulf Coast properties since 2000 and love helping others visit a little slice of paradise! Our family has grown to love Royal Palms. We have eight precious grands and love spending time together at The Gulf State Park area. Let us help make your family beach trip memorable and special! 🌴

Why they chose this property

We probably have the absolute best view in Gulf Shores! We are located on the fourth floor at Royal Palms next to the Gulf State Park Fishing Pier on the east corner! The gulf views are absolutely incredible! What’s special is you also have amazing views of Lake Shelby from each room of our condo facing East. Imagine watching the sunrise from your bedroom each morning! 🌅 Book with us and experience a slice of paradise! 🌴☀️🐬🦀🌴🏖️🏝️

What makes this property unique

We are next to the undeveloped state park land and fishing pier with unobstructed views of the ocean and Lake SHELBY. You can watch the sunrise from any of the rooms and also from the balcony! So peaceful, calm and relaxing. Enjoy un-crowded beaches yet walk to Sea n Suds, The Pancake House, Omelet Shoppe or to one of The three restaurants next door at The Lodge!
