Condo was very nice! Awesome view!! We like to sleep with the fan on but the one in the master kept clicking, so we bought a standup fan. We left it so, hopefully it's there for future vacationers!!

Cute condo

The indoor pool, being on the beach and being next to the state park was fantastic. Curtains in bedroom would be nice, the outdoor hall lighting came through the blinds and illuminated the room. Perfect size for our family of 3, 4 would be just as comfortable.

It was just as described!

Everything was great! The only thing I would say to add/change is the bunk beds need a ladder or something to get on the top bunk and the outlet on the under the countertop in kitchen won't hold your charger very well. Other than that everything was great and I would stay again

The property was clean, beautiful and quiet

We had such a such a wonderful stay at the Royal palms 1306. The view was awesome ! The room was very clean and so was the facility. We will definitely come back ! The staff at gulf sands was so friendly and helpful, especially the blonde girl at the desk. I'm sorry I can't remember her name. Thank you !
