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 By Owner."

EASY ARRIVAL:
Keyless entry makes check-in simpleโ€”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 balconyโ€”perfect for sunrise coffee, dolphin watching, and unforgettable sunsets.

FEATURES:
๐Ÿ–๏ธ Direct Gulf-front private balcony with panoramic views
๐Ÿ–๏ธ Keyless entry for easy self check-in (no keys to manage)
๐Ÿ–๏ธ King bed in the primary bedroom
๐Ÿ–๏ธ Hallway bunks (best for kids; not recommended for adults or tall children)
๐Ÿ–๏ธ Queen sleeper sofa for extra sleeping space
๐Ÿ–๏ธ Two full bathrooms (a huge help for families)
๐Ÿ–๏ธ Fully equipped kitchen

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!
