Condo was very clean, beautiful and had a beautiful view. We would definitely stay here again. The only thing we found wrong was the beds are uncomfortable and they need new cooking skillets. They stick and are warped in the center.

The fabulous beach location with its gulf view balcony situated close to restaurants, shopping, entertainment and even more beaches is a bit of heaven. This allows you to overlook some needed upgrades, asa well as less than meticulous cleaning.A coat of semioss paint on the trim, new kitchen sink, digital exterior door lock, toilet flow adjustments and more detailed cleaning would go a long way to a great impression.Happy new

Condo needs deep cleaning.
Finding the lockbox was difficult. It was located in a dark stairwell on the bottom rung of the banister. I was disappointed in the floors. The grout was black. Nice updates.

Sleeper sofa
Strong Shrimp boil smell on entering condo. We had to buy candle to tolerate smell for several days. There were no linens for sleeper sofa. The cabinet above the oven is broken.

The condo is beautiful as well as the views. It was very clean!! Only one issue needing to be addressed. There is some sort of leak in the master bedroom bathroom. You cannot see the wetness but when you step on floor tiles there is wetness. I made sure i had my slippers on when i went in there. I did love everything else about this place and would stay again.

The property was at a great location. The pictures are accurate as what inside looks like. However it is out dated and the bathrooms look dingy. The kitchen water faucet did not work properly. They were not enough towels for 2 people more less 6 for bathing. There is no toiletries provided so be sure to bring toilet paper. Yes toilet paper is was not even provided. It was a little over priced for the overall quality of the property. For the cost I paid I will pay for a better establishment next time.

Hi Tammy,
Thank you for reviewing your stay with us. Our maintenance team has been notified regarding the kitchen sink. Our check-in document does state that each unit has a startup set of supplies (1 roll of toilet paper per bathroom, 1 small bar of soap for each sink and shower, 1 trash bag liner for each trash can, 1 roll of paper towels, 2 dish tabs, dish soap, and sponge). These startup items are not replenished during your stay.
Very clean. Kitchen very well stocked. Loved the white sand beach. Elevators were very fast. Great balcony with nice furniture.
2 hot tubs and only 3 total jets were working between them. Lights above stove and under cabinet were not working. We have traveled many years and never had to bring our own garbage bags and toilet paper. We had 1 small roll of TP for each bathroom and 1 garbage bag for 10 days. Those should be included for the price we paid. Couch could used replacing. It was only comfortable in the middle. The sides went uphill.
Overall, we would stay again.

Thank you for your feedback on your recent stay at Island Royale P403. We apologize for falling short of your expectations. We will assess the sofa condition. Regarding paper products, our policy does state that we only provide a starter kit. We value your feedback and hope you will consider staying with us again on your next visit to Gulf Shores.
Great beach view condo, elevators a bit of an issue.
All in all a good, convenient to everything place. The place was clean, beautiful views, and very safe and family friendly.
The only honest (constructive) criticism I can giver other than the good is 2 main things. At least one of the two elevators were broken each day. This made getting up a down a bit of a lengthy process (and crammed)once we finally did catch an open elevator . It was not terrible, just a little inconvenient.
The second was the pool. It only gets sun for a few hours every day. Bc it is in between buildings. On one hand a bit of a bummer bc I wanted to catch some rays, but on the other good for my 2 kids bc they were not in direct sunlight all day.
Overall a great place though!!! We enjoyed our stay!

The refrigerator stunk when you opened it plus the sink smelled horrible. Hair in the 2nd bedroom and bathroom floor and more than one. We would stay again just a few minor things that needed fixing.

Thank you for your review. We're glad to hear you'd stay with us again and appreciate your feedback on the minor fixes needed.
Our stay was fantastic! It is a perfect getaway. The view from the balcony is absolutely amazing! The check-in and check-out process was very easy. The detailed email was great and very much appreciated. The condo looks exactly like the pictures posted. The unit was very clean, and the kitchen is well stocked with all of the eating utensils and dishes and cookware you could need during your stay. We were very impressed with how clean the elevators were considering people would come in from the beach and take the elevator to their floor. The elevators were a bit slow at times, but with that many floors I think that is to be expected. We greatly appreciated having the carts available to bring things up when we arrived and down when we sadly had to leave.
We would definitely recommend this location and unit to anyone and hope to have an opportunity to stay again.
