Can’t say enough about the great location. Being right next to the state park provided us with extra room and no overcrowding on the beach. We saw dolphins each day. The condo is in great shape and parking was easy.

Stay in Gulf Shores

We were pretty desperate looking to book a condo for a music festival and paid way higher prices than we would have normally but we expected that. What we didn't expect was a condo that stated it sleeps 4 didn't mean 4 adults. the wall bunks were not long enough for one of the adults in our party who was meant to sleep there (she is 5'8"). So no big deal, there is a sofa bed right. The mattress on the sofa bed was dirty but there are sheets for that. The sofa bed was super uncomfortable.all the sheets were old so it made them rough as well. Otherwise, the condo was right on the beach and the amenities were good.

Good spot for family with kids. Older adults may have problems with parking as all the better walking spots are saved for owners.

Perfect Family Friendly Stay

Our stay at Royal Palms was absolutely phenomenal. The condo is the last one before the state park, making it less crowded, there is a new condo being built to the west so there was some construction noise during the day at the beach, however it wasn’t terrible and provided extra entertainment for our son! The condo was very well kept, very soft bed, and comfy couch. Debbie was easy to get ahold of, we had no issues but wanted to make her aware of some chipped paint we saw upon arrival. We will absolutely be back next year! All of the condo guests were polite, excellent family atmosphere.
