Directly on Beach - Great Getaway! Stunning View From Private Balcony!

Frequently watch the dolphins play with your morning coffee or favorite beverage, from your private balcony in #1307 on the penthouse level 1 of Royal Palms. Or, just enjoy beautiful breath taking views of the fall and winter sunrise/sunsets over the Gulf of Mexico. Royal Palms is somewhat secluded, adjacent to Gulf State Park, an undeveloped three mile beach. Yet it is still conveniently located in the heart of Gulf Shores and Orange Beach attractions are also within a few miles.

There is the outdoor pool and a heated indoor pool and hot tub, and a steam and dry sauna, as well as a fitness room. A grilling/BBQ area with a picnic table and benches is perfect when you want to eat in. The sparkling white beach is within footsteps of the building, which the private balcony overhangs. There is also a bike storage area if you wish to bring along your bicycles.

The unit has been recently painted and updated with new cabinets, counters and fixtures in the kitchen and both baths. There is new furniture and mattress in the bedroom and new furniture throughout. It has spacious extra high ceilings (only available in select units on this P-1 level of the building, which is the 2nd floor from the top of the building), Queen size bedroom with a private bathroom, 2nd bathroom in hall, alcove bunk beds (great for kids! Not for adults; weight and height limits), and a Queen size sofa sleeper in the living area (also great for kids). The dining and living area contain a flat screen Smart TV along with Cable, and a flat screen TV is also located in the bedroom. There is a collection of card and board games, and magazines provided for enjoyment. WiFi Internet service, a washer & dryer, and a fully equipped kitchen to cook your favorite meals when you are not in the mood to visit the nearby restaurants are other features.
It has already created lasting memories for many (see guest comments section). An exciting and/or relaxing vacation getaway!!!

Wonderful 4th of July Vacation!!
Property was clean, and exactly as described. We had such a wonderful trip! Location was directly by the state Pier, which unfortunately was not open yet, but also the location was central to anywhere you needed to go. I wish we could have stayed longer!! The 4th of July fireworks were shot off the pier, so we had front row seats as this condo is 2nd floor from the top, so it was spectacular display and we never had to leave the balcony. The only suggestion I would make is to upgrade the TV in the bedroom to one like the one in living room, so that we could log in to apps like Netflix and such. We could never figure out how that TV works in the bedroom, and we usually sleep with the TV going. Other than that, overall a great time and we had everything we needed for our stay.

Solid stay, no complaints
Solid condo. Great beach access. Great view. Beach support company good. Location in the middle of gulf shores shopping. Close to golf courses for me. Not a complaint but just FYI- —The front door sticks. To force it requires slamming it a bit and we feared that to be potentially noisy and bothersome for our neighbors. Solid condo experience for us.

Best view
We really loved the view from the balcony. Really comfortable set up on balcony with table & chairs and lounger. The property was just a short walk to the beach. The beach was beautiful and not very crowded at all. And we got to see dolphins pass by almost every day. The condo was clean and nicely furnished. It was a really nice vaycay.

Really Nice Place
We appreciated the updated kitchen with all the utensils and dining ware we needed. New ceiling fans and nice dressers in the bedroom with plenty of storage. Best feature was the patio, with room for a 4-top table, lounge chair and rocking chair. We enjoyed the sauna on the 2nd floor. Parking was a breeze, with plenty of open spots that were covered. Overall, a very thoughtfully detailed condo in a prime location.

Perfect little getaway
It was exactly what my partner and I needed on our babymoon. Wonderful view of the beach, lots of things to do nearby, and on rainy days, the perfect relaxation place. We slept in the pullout bed in the living room with the back door open most nights, so that we could hear the ocean. Wonderful experience.
