The condo was perfect. Next door to my work conference at the State Lodge. The indoor pool was under construction/repair and didn’t have chance to soak in the hot tub. The condo was exceptionally clean and stocked with anything you may need to cook with. Except for a ninja smoothie blender. I was aware and brought my own travel size. The Keurig was perfect. Ice maker was nice. We never had to purchase ice for our beach coolers. Was there for a 5 night stay. Three adult women, my mom, myself and my daughter. The balcony is so roomy. We would sit out there at night after returning from exploring every day until we went to bed. Never had the television on the entire trip. We loved it. The owners were great when we needed assistance when booking. Everything is exactly as advertised.

I love the location, being beside the state park means the beach is not as crowded and you can get to restaurants and activities in Gulf Shores and Orange Beach easily. The condo was nice and the owners were readily available for questions and concerns.

About the host

Hosted by Mike and Michele

Host profile image
We purchased our vacation home at Royal Palms in 2016 because we love the area and the friendly people, not to mention the best food around.The views are spectacular and the beaches will make you never to want to leave. A vacationer's paradise.

Why they chose this property

We decided to purchase a slice of paradise to enjoy with family and friends. Having Gulf State Park immediately to the east provides about 3 miles of nearly private undeveloped beach and a wonderful fishing pier. The fact that Royal Palms is a low density building us an addition plus, keeping the area uncrowded

What makes this property unique

Our unit is in the center of the building with a curved oversized balcony with great views to the east and west.The 3rd floor is a great floor. The ocean is at your back door.
