Direct Gulf Front ~1BR 2BA+Bunks ~ 2nd Floor ~ Keyless Entry ~ GulfShoresByOwner

Welcome to Royal Palms 206, a direct Gulf-front condo on the 2nd floor with panoramic views of emerald water and sugar-white sand. Follow us on FB "Gulf Shores Vacation."

EASY ARRIVAL:
Keyless entry makes check-in simple—no keys to pick up or keep track of. One of the best features for families is drive-up access to the 2nd-floor level, so unloading is quick and easy without waiting on elevators.

GULF-FRONT BALCONY VIEWS:
Step out from the living room to your private Gulf-front balcony—perfect for sunrise coffee, dolphin watching, and unforgettable sunsets.

FEATURES:
🏖️ Direct Gulf-front private balcony with panoramic views
🏖️ Keyless entry for easy self check-in (no keys to manage)
🏖️ King bed in the primary bedroom
🏖️ Hallway bunks (best for kids; not recommended for adults or tall children)
🏖️ Queen sleeper sofa for extra sleeping space
🏖️ Two full bathrooms (a huge help for families)
🏖️ Fully equipped kitchen
🏖️ Coffee setup: Keurig AND a regular drip coffee pot
🏖️ Stackable washer/dryer in unit (great for towels and swimsuits)

BEDDING (SLEEPS UP TO 6):
🏖️ Primary bedroom: King bed
🏖️ Hallway: Twin bunks (kid-size)
🏖️ Living room: Queen sleeper sofa

ROYAL PALMS AMENITIES:
🏖️ Indoor pool + outdoor pool
🏖️ Hot tubs
🏖️ Sauna + steam room (located on the 2nd floor)

🏖️ Two parking spaces allowed per reservation
🏖️ One parking pass is included with your reservation
🏖️ An additional parking pass may be purchased if needed
🏖️ Parking permits are required — each vehicle must have a parking permit at all times
IMPORTANT: The ramp/turn to the 2nd-floor parking is very tight. We strongly recommend oversized/large vehicles do not park on the 2nd floor.

LOCATION (LESS CROWDED BEACH!):
Royal Palms is located next to Gulf State Park & the Fishing Pier, which means this stretch of beach is typically less crowded than many other areas of Gulf Shores. You can also walk to the pier and you’re close to all the Gulf Shores/Orange Beach dining, shopping, and attractions.

SMOKE-FREE BUILDING:
🏖️ No smoking in the unit or on the balcony.
🏖️ Smoking is permitted only in the designated smoking area located on the ground floor.

Perfect spot for a relaxing get away

We stayed in 206 and it was so easily accessible and we didn't have to mess with the elevator (bonus!) but were not on the ground floor so the view was amazing. Everything was super comfortable and convenient to everything we wanted to do. Will definitely stay here again next time we come to Gulf Shores!

Birthday Stay

Excellent location. The beach is very private, while at the same time convenient to the heart of Gulf Shores. The condo has small bathrooms, but the wife were able to have separate bathrooms which was nice. Also has two bunks, so would be perfect for small kids. The balcony is great. Being on the second floor it gives you a great view of the beach and with a grassy area directly in front which prevents any tra

Memorial Day.

Very ideal for small children and the location was ideal for having littles on the trip as well. Simple check in / check out. Everything went smooth. No complaints. If had I to nag something it would be the public beach access people use and kinda gets in the view/way of condo visitors. Still not as crowed as you’d think.
