This was the perfect place! The condo was cozy & the location could not have been better! The beach access was perfect, & it was not crowded at all in comparison to other places we’ve stayed! We cannot wait to come back!!
The condo was very clean and looked just like the pictures displayed. The oceanfront view was immaculate. Convenient location and great host. Our family had a blast.
Our room had a great beach view and adorable decorations. We loved that there was an indoor pool, especially when the rain started and after spending the day in the sun. We would definitely love to come back.

Thank you for your comments. I have also put together fun things to do on a rainy day at Gulf Shores that I send out with future bookings as we realize it's no fun watching the rain at the beach.
This condo was a perfect place for a relaxing trip to Gulf Shores. There is an excellent view of the beach with a great balcony to enjoy it with breakfast. The host was very responsive, even bringing a new keurig to us when we found out the one there was broken. It was also located perfectly on the beach since it’s the last condo before the state park. Far enough from the majority of people on the beach and close enough for easy access to restaurants.
Excellent location and great views! Great communication throughout! Loved having the option of indoor pool as the temperature was a little chilly several days while we were visiting. Will definitely look at staying here again

Thank you for staying with us and the comments about the pool. People come to the ocean but swim in the pools as the water doesn't get warm until summer.
Had the best time staying here! Place had everything we needed and location was fantastic. Everything was clean and so comfortable. Probably the best pillows I've ever had at a rental. Kitchen was perfectly stocked with everything we needed and best part is their cookware was great quality to cook with - usually a big pain using others stuff when traveling. Our host, Rick, was in close contact for every little question we had and was incredibly accommodating when we wanted to check on extended our stay. 10 stars, if I could give it. Will definitely keep their locations on easy access for our future stays!
This was a perfect stay for my husband, myself and our 13 year-old daughter! The unobstructed view of the ocean was just amazing. We were blessed to see dolphins almost every day of our 7 day trip. Rick was very responsive and was very accommodating. Would definitely stay here again!
Wonderful stay at Royal Palms 1003! Our new favorite unit at Royal Palms! Rick was quick to respond and very accommodating to our needs! Would definitely stay again in the future!

Thank you for your kind words, you are always welcome back, Rick
It was a beautiful location, when we had questions, we were able to contact Rick directly and get answers right away. It was a relaxing apartment, clean and comfortable. We spent most of our time on the deck watching the ocean where my wife knitted and listened to audio books. Both of us enjoyed our stay very much.
View of the ocean was beautiful! Beach uncrowded due to location of condo next to undeveloped State Park, but still near shops and restaurants. Spent a lot of time on the balcony enjoying the awesome view. Would stay here again!
The condo was great. I love the location as it sets beside the park and pier which makes it open to a great sunrise view. It also is a very quiet location.

Thank you for staying with us, we look forward to your return.
The unit was very nice and just as described online. Each area was excellent and so comfortable. The outdoor pool was very nice, too. Steps away from the ocean and near to many good restaurants, shopping, etc. We'll definitely return.
We loved this condo! It was clean and inviting. The beach was perfect and not crowded. The owner was very quick to answer questions. Would definitely stay here again!
The space was just what we were looking for! The decor was spot on. The beach is second to none and we had a great time on the sand. Beach access is quick and easy and the pool is shaded in the afternoon for a nice break from the sun. 10/10 we will be back.
A great place to stay in Gulf Shores! The hosts were great! I would highly recommend this place!!
