About this property

Direct Gulf Front ~1BR 2BA+Bunks ~ 2nd Floor ~ Keyless Entry

Welcome to Royal Palms 206, a direct Gulf-front condo on the 2nd floor with panoramic views of emerald water and sugar-white sand.

EASY ARRIVAL:
Keyless entry makes check-in simple—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 balcony—perfect for sunrise coffee, dolphin watching, and unforgettable sunsets.

FEATURES:
🏖️ Direct Gulf-front private balcony with panoramic views
🏖️ Keyless entry for easy self check-in (no keys to manage)
🏖️ King bed in the primary bedroom
🏖️ Hallway bunks (best for kids; not recommended for adults or tall children)
🏖️ Queen sleeper sofa for extra sleeping space
🏖️ Two full bathrooms (a huge help for families)
🏖️ Fully equipped kitchen
🏖️ Coffee setup: Keurig AND a regular drip coffee pot
🏖️ Stackable washer/dryer in unit (great for towels and swimsuits)

BEDDING (SLEEPS UP TO 6):
🏖️ Primary bedroom: King bed
🏖️ Hallway: Twin bunks (kid-size)
🏖️ Living room: Queen sleeper sofa

ROYAL PALMS AMENITIES:

IMPORTANT: The ramp/turn to the 2nd-floor parking is very tight. We strongly recommend oversized/large vehicles do not park on the 2nd floor.

LOCATION (LESS CROWDED BEACH!):
Royal Palms is located next to Gulf State Park & the Fishing Pier, which means this stretch of beach is typically less crowded than many other areas of Gulf Shores. You can also walk to the pier and you’re close to all the Gulf Shores/Orange Beach dining, shopping, and attractions.

SMOKE-FREE BUILDING:
🏖️ No smoking in the unit or on the balcony.
🏖️ Smoking is permitted only in the designated smoking area located on the ground floor.

The ocean view was fabulous. The room was just as described. Loved the convenience of the parking and the option of the indoor pool. It was also nice being near the state park. The owner was very helpful. We would definitely rent here again.

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!

About the host

Hosted by Jason Willis

Host profile image
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.
