The host was very helpful with check-in information. The second floor location with convenient second floor parking was great. The view of the Gulf was just what we wanted.

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!

Location of unit was fantastic, check-in was excellent but it wasn’t the cleanest. Pretty rundown and outdated.

Thanks so much fro booking with us and please notify us in the future if there are any cleaning issues as this is typically not the case as you can see from all our reviews and we also offer a 24 hour guarantee and will address any issues that you encounter after arrival. The unit is updated with fresh paint and furnishings, so not sure if you were referring to the unit or the building. The building does have plans for a few upgrades this offseason as the peak summer months create a lot of strain on the building and units. Thanks!!
We enjoyed our 4 night stay! First time on the 2nd floor, we loved that! It made it so much easier to access everything. Very clean! Owner was very nice! We will definitely be back.

Amazing stay
We couldn’t have asked for a better stay! Jason and his wife went above and beyond to make sure our vacation was a DREAM! The house was fully stocked with anything you needed plus extras (sand toys, nets for the kids seashell adventure, plenty of extra blankets etc.) they even provided a list of their recommendations to do in the area with kids for us! We can’t wait to be back!!
Nice quiet condo with a beautiful view!
Beach is not crowded and the staff is super nice. This was our 2nd time staying at Royal Palms and will continue our business here in the future!

About the host
Hosted by Jason Willis
We love Gulf Shores and the wonderful family environment. We have been coming to Gulf Shores since 2001 and have made many trips each year. We own several units and really enjoy working with and meeting new families and helping the with building wonderful memories.
Why they chose this property
Love the location. This property is located to the State Park and walking distance from the Pier which means the beaches are never crowded. Royal Palms also is one of a few complex's that offer a dedicated indoor swimming pool as well as an outdoor pool. The other great benefit with this unit is that it is located on the second floor and you can actually drive up to the second floor and park eliminating the need to wait in line for an elevator.
