Host was the best! Property is well worth it! Beach views from balcony are amazing!! Loved my stay and the host made it so easy to check in and out!!! 10/10 will recommend!!
This was our first time visiting Gulf shores . We came with several families who all rented a condo at this location. It was very convenient to restaurants and stores. We enjoyed the indoor pool and hot tub. We will definitely be back.

Thank you Mandi! We are so happy to hear you had a perfect beach getaway. Edgewater is fantastic resort and the location can't be beat. We look forward to your next stay!
My best friend and I had a week's vacation and our stay at this beautiful condo was wonderful! The cleanliness was spot on. We went grocery shopping instead of eating out and we don't regret it! The kitchen was fully stocked to cook anything to everything! The large balcony was awesome as well.
Sliding door would not lock, two balcony chairs broken, vertical blinds were missing several slats, king mattress needs replacing, front bathroom towel bar broken, it appeared that someone had tried to break into locked door inside laundry room. However, place was clean, plenty of towels, good ice maker, tv worked well. Had everything we needed.

Thank you for the helpful and honest feedback! Sounds like you made the best of things and still had a good stay, which we’re glad to hear. We’ve shared your notes with our property care team so they can take care of those maintenance items you mentioned. And as for that locked door in the laundry room—believe it or not, some guests just can’t resist trying to see what’s behind an owner’s closet! We appreciate you pointing everything out (and leaving it as you found it). Thanks again for staying with us!
The condo was perfect. The only thing bad I could say is that we rented this place bc it had an inside pool for when it stormed. However, you can not be in the inside pool when it’s storming the pipes are connected. So they kick you out and lock it up. The condo and beach were perfect. We would definitely stay here again. We could never get the tv in the guest room to work but it was fine.

Thank you so much for your kind words about the condo and beach! We're glad you enjoyed your stay overall. The indoor pool closure is a safety measure during storms to protect our guests—unfortunately, Mother Nature calls the shots on that one. We hope your next visit comes with sunnier skies and plenty of pool time. As for the guest room TV, we’ll be sure to have that checked so it's ready to go for your return!
The out door pool had only sun till 1 pmShould have warned to wear shoes on board walk Gate person is very lazy they don't move or wave

Thank you for your feedback. We have to admit, it gave us a bit of a chuckle — the sun most definitely shines on the pool past 1 p.m.; it just depends on the time of year and the position of the earth. The good news? The sand here is made of quartz crystal, which is why it stays cool under your feet even in the hottest sun. The boardwalk, on the other hand, can splinter, so yes — shoes are a smart move. And as for the security guard, he’s there to keep the property safe, not to perform a comedy show or dance a jig. If these were the biggest hurdles of your stay, we’d say you did pretty well. We hope the rest of your time by the Gulf was filled with sunshine, relaxation, and great memories, and we’d love to welcome y’all back anytime.
We enjoyed Royal Palms. The weather was nice and the location is great. The unit could use more kitchen towels (there was only one) and trash bags (we only had one). And there were no pot holders at all. The floors were not very clean but the beds in the condo was comfortable and had all the room we needed.

Jay, thank you for the review! We are glad you enjoyed the beds in the condo! The supplies provided in the condo are listed multiple times on our website and throughout the booking process. It states that we provide one of everything, i.e dishwashing tab, laundry detergent, trash bags, etc. and that after these run out you will need to provide your own! You also receive that information in your guestbook upon booking and 7 days before you arrive, so you have ample time to plan what you'll need for your vacation. We wish you would've called us about the potholders and kitchen towels while you were here as we could have delivered some to you! We have added these into the condo for any future guests, hopefully including you next year! Thank you for choosing Beach Getaways!
The room has a great view and location is great! The condo is the last one so there isn't a lot traffic on the beach. The condo itself wasn't as great as I thought with a water leak before I got there, dishes in the cabinets were still dirty so we had to hand wash what we were going to use. The beds were really hard and uncomfortable to where my body would ache in the morning. Overall not bad.

Eric, thank you for sharing your experience at our condo! We are glad that you enjoyed the location and views this condo has to offer! We wanted to let future guests know that the leak at this condo has been repaired and no drying equipment is in use. We are sorry this happened during your stay! We wish you would've called us about the dishes as we have cleaners available to come back to fix any overlooked areas while you explore the town! We have shared your comments on the bed with the property care manager, though we'd like to remind everyone that mattresses are a matter of personal preference, and one size does not fit all! Thank you for choosing Beach Getaways!
The location of this property was great, right on the beach. There were only two of us so the size was perfect. We slept with the bedroom window open every night so we could hear the ocean. Between the sound and the comfortable bed, we slept really well.
There are a few things that need attention - the wireless connection was horrible! We had to use our phone hotspots to get on the internet. Blinds need to be replaced as some are missing. The microwave door handle is broken and overall very yellowish. In the master bedroom there was only one bedside table and it didn’t work. Some general updates are needed.

Be sure to give us a call next time, so that we can address these things more quickly for you. Thanks, again, for the review and thank you for choosing Beach Getaways.
Location is everything right?!? This condo is perfectly located next to the state park making it perfect for walks and less traffic while you’re sitting enjoying the water. But let’s go inside the condo.
First of all, the condo was decorated in the early 2000s and is sorely in need of an update: palm trees, wicker furniture, wallpaper border that’s literally falling off the wall. The floors were not clean as our feet were black within an hour. Clorox cleanup would do wonders on the dirty grout. There was not enough towels. I had to wash several times during our stay. But the very worst part was the beds. THEY ARE HARD! On a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being a hard floor, those beds were an 8. We tossed and turned all night and took ibuprofen with our coffee. I know to each his own on beds, but be forewarned that these mattresses are FIRM. We will not stay in this condo again.

Dena, thank you for taking the time to review your stay. We wish we had known of these concerns during your stay so that we could address them more quickly. Our Property Care hotline is available 24/7 for emergencies. Next time, please call. While the condo was supplied with more towels than the maximum occupancy allowed in the condo, there is a full-sized washer and dryer in each condo to refresh any laundry! We hope you were able to enjoy your stay.
We had a great time. Every single thing worked in the condo. That really matters when you have a big family. View was beautiful. Very private. Furniture was outdated but that didn’t effect Our stay. We will come back!

Oh and let’s don’t forget the painter told my friend she had to get off the balcony!!!! REALLY????? The elevator smelled so bad!!!! I will never stay there again!! I expect a parcial refund!!! Also had to leave 2 days early because of hurricane!

I appreciate you taking the time to provide feedback following your recent stay with us. While a member of our maintenance team was able to take care of a couple of the issues you've mentioned, some of these items would be addressed by the facilities mgmt. I have shared your feedback with them and they are working to finish the balcony painting and elevator. Thank you, again, for the feedback and we hope that you were still able to enjoy your stay with us.
The condo was very nice, had all utensils needed if someone wanted to cook, had coffee pot, etc. It was overall clean— I know it’s difficult thing to get rid of, but sand was on the floor and in the beds. I feel as if housekeeping was cleaning them properly, there certainly would not have been sand in the beds… I can be a bit more understanding about the floors. The place is also pretty outdated; not a big deal for us, but could be for someone reading this review. Nonetheless, nice condo, great views, had all we needed. I would suggest though driving down to Orange Beach for food. Many places had terrible service(due to pandemic) and food came out cold.
We enjoyed our stay. The 12th floor had me a little worried but the view was a big plus. Everything was as advertised and we had alot of fun. We would do it again. Thanks to all. The Jordan Family
The location of Royal Palms can't be beat! It's right in the heart of things so very close to shops, restaurants, etc. but the State Park is directly to the east, so that really helped cut down on crowding at the beach by having that east side open and without another big condo complex next to you on one side. The specific 1205 unit is a great layout, but could use some attention. Decor is a little dated, like it hasn't seen many updates in the past 15-20 years. Owners could stand do to a walk through and see what needs repair & replacing. Easy, not that expensive things would make a difference, such as replace broken plastic balcony furniture, a new toaster, making sure there are things like measuring cups still have the full set, etc. It wouldn't take much to take it from good to great! We enjoyed our stay there and would definitely go back to the Royal Palms complex! The specific unit could use a little TLC, but it still more than met our needs for a wonderful week at the beach!

Great location. Only a few steps from the beach. Comfortable beds. Kitchen was well stocked and worked. Very loud air conditioning and shades need fixing up.

Thank you, Joel, for taking the time to leave a review. We are happy to hear that y'all enjoyed your stay with us and appreciate the feedback, the pros & cons. We do apologize for the housekeeping issues you experienced when you first arrived and were glad that you called us so that we might come back to address anything that was missed before. That is certainly not how we wanted your vacation to begin. Fortunately, we were able to bring more towels, treat you and your family to a nice dinner out at one of our local favorites and have been able to fix the door latch. Thank you for the opportunity to help you and your family enjoy their beach getaway. We are hopeful that you and your family will be back very soon.
When we walked in, it reeked of cigarette odor. Had to go buy sprays to try and reduce the Oder. The patio door wouldn’t lock, so had to buy a pole to secure it. Half the plug-in outlets don’t work.
The closest in the master bedroom had a huge mirror, ironing board, piles of cover on the floor, a broken good size lamp and a vaccine cleaner in it. I had to move most of it out, so we could hang our clothes up. I wouldn’t touch the covers piled up.
The living room furniture still had food crumbs and the burners on the stove had food under them. The glass on all the tables needed cleaning.
First condo we have ever stayed in, where you didn’t have a broom!
Non-smoking and brand new is just false advertisement! The unit needs a good cleaning and maintenance done.

Richard, thank you for your feedback and taking the time to leave a review. I am very sorry to hear that you had this experience. We always strive to provide an excellent guest experience for our guests including housekeeping and maintenance of the property. Once you called, the housekeeper came right back to the condo to re-clean and bring fresh linens. We apologize for missing this before your arrival and appreciate your patience as we worked to make it right. We hope that y’all were able to create some memorable moments in spite of the rocky start. We are hopeful that you will give us a future opportunity to impress you.
Great view and location. Comfortable furniture and beds. Was disappointed the pool was closed however enjoyed the beach. Have stayed in this building on several occasions before and always find it perfect. It has all you need and is not a large complex so your beach is not crowded. We will return. 12th floor view is fabulous.
We loved this unit and we want to rent again. You might want to address the following details with the owner:
Refrigerator filter light is on because needs replacing
Vent fan in bathroom doesn’t work
Did not have tv for two days all TVs had to be reprogrammed by the cable company. Cable man said master bedroom tv would not work and needs replacing. Other TVs have to turn on and change channels with two different remotes because of age of tv
Wallpaper borders coming loose
Plastic chaise lounge on balcony is brittle and someone could get cut
Floors were dirty when we arrived and there was not a broom or a mop available for me to use, only vacuum cleaners which did not do the job
Air conditioner made a loud funny noise when running
We loved the layout and the location and we definitely want to rent again but these things need attention

The balcony was wonderful and the location was very convenient. The unit was very clean and communication with management was easy and efficient. We would rent this unit again when in the area.
Perfection!! Great location and the beach was never crowded. The only issues were a broken DVD player and an incorrect WIFI password was provided. These issues were quickly handled. The AC unit knocks when it’s running, but it’s not too loud. The view from the balcony and master bedroom were always stunning. We never got bored with the view! The furniture is comfortable, master bedroom mattress a bit hard. Bathrooms are great and the kitchen and the amenities provided were perfect. We plan to come back!
