Wonderful beach trip

What a wonderful time at the beach for my teenage son, a friend of his and I. The condo was perfect and as described in the pictures. So convienant, pleasant experience, relaxing trip with out all of the hustle and bustle of all the large crowds, pool was perfect as well. Just can not see us staying anywhere else but here for the next time in Gulf Shores. Thank you so much for the much needed time away.

Beautiful condo in a great complex.

Love Island Royale and this condo was beautiful and well equipped. My only suggestion would be to have keyless entry to eliminate the need to go to an office to checkin and get a key and also to not have to deal with keys during the week that we stayed. But we would definitely rent this unit again!

Relaxing Place

This place was definitely relaxing. Everything was clean and as posted, even a few updates from the pictures. The check in process was a little much compared to other places before you went and I felt stressed that I missed something and they would take the place away. (Make sure you see the paperwork within 24 hours) Everyone was very nice in person. Definitely book directly through them and save a couple hundred bucks! Would stay again!

Under construction...

We were not told that the pools and hot tubs were all closed and that only one elevator was working. Construction was happening on the property which added challenges too. If we knew what was happening at the property. We could have adjusted expectations or changed reservations. The space is managed by Poole Vacation Rentals.
