About this property

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 has been added with a picnic table and benches. 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!!!

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.

Why they chose this property

Because we love the beach! And, Royal Palms is a nice, well kept building.

What makes this property unique

The view from the condo balcony is unbelievable. It is on the next floor from the top of the building. This Penthouse 1 level has higher ceilings than any other floor in the building creating a roomier living/dining area.

We love the Royal Palms location which is unique due to the somewhat secluded beach area which is much less crowded than the other properties in Gulf Shores.
