BEST VIEWS! Renovated 1 Bedroom/2 BATH DIRECT FRONT CONDO/CLOSE 2 STATE PIER

This updated condo unit has breathtaking views of the gulf from the condo! We recently remodeled our condo for your vacation retreat as you enjoy overlooking the white sandy beaches of Gulf Shores! It has new flooring, paint, granite, furniture, and new linens as well!!!

Our remodeled condo can be your next vacation location! There are fantastic views from the kitchen, living room and balcony as you gaze at the sweeping views of the Gulf State Park, the Gulf State Pier. Our condo has fabulous quality mattresses and bed linens. There are flat screen TVs in the bedroom and also in the living room. We also have great outdoor balcony furniture as you relax and feel the breeze of the ocean and listen to the waves.

Our condo is comprised of the following:
• King in the master bedroom -- with a master bath, flat screen TV, and closet
• There are twin bunk beds in the hallway – great for kids
• The sofa converts to a sleeper (queen) in the living area –with a flat screen TV for the living area and two comfortable accent chairs for relaxing
The kitchen is fully equipped with small appliances and all of the necessary cooking utensils
• There is a new washer and dryer in the hallway -- linens are provided for your stay
• Our balcony is also a great refuge with a table and chairs. It is a perfect place to enjoy breakfast, lunch, or even an afternoon snack. We love sitting around and talking on our balcony with friends. I am sure that you will love it!
• We have beautiful pools which include an indoor pool and an outdoor pool. We have a hot tub, sauna, and fitness center in Royal Palms as well.
We have new outdoor grills near the pool so that you can enjoy your family while you are preparing a cookout for your family and friends.

Also parking passes during Hangout/Music Festival in May are $160 due the special event in the area.


Royal Palms is such a desirable rental because it has all the amenities of larger condos without the higher price. Also, Royal Palms is situated on western edge of our state park, which provides ultimate privacy. The balcony is a wrap which provides awesome views of the beach and Gulf of Mexico. My favorite part about staying at the Royal Palms is the location on the beach!

Beautiful view of the beach and location of condo was perfect. Beach wasn’t crowded at all. Condo was a little small for our family. No where really to put luggage and bags. One of the elevators was messed up most of the time. Our family got stuck on it several times. Also not a lot of hot water for showers- some days all of us had to take cold showers from the beginning.

Being the last building before entering the state park property, the beach is not crowded and it is convenient to go to businesses in either Gulf Shores or Orange Beach. The decor of the condo is nice. Bed sleeps good. Size of unit is great for a couple or family with younger children. Would definitely stay here again and recommend to others.
