About this property
GULF FRONT CONDO - Spectacular Views-Sunrises&Sunsets-July25-Aug1,Aug1-8,Aug8-15
Island Royale is an upscale beachfront condominium that was built in 2002. It is located directly on the beach in the heart of Gulf Shores on West Beach Boulevard. It is a two-tone gray building with white trim and a diamond shape on the front. The condo unit is located on the FIFTH FLOOR. There is absolutely no smoking or vaping in the unit or on the balcony. Also, no pets, except those belonging to owners, are allowed. The condo has an oversized bubble-shaped balcony, which can be accessed from both the living area and the master bedroom. The condo has a KEYPAD entry so you do not have to keep up with keys.
The balcony has one round table, four chairs, and a cushioned lounge chair with a side table. Black-out drapes cover both sets of windows and doors. You can sleep late or open the drapes and watch the sun rise. The condo has almost 1,100 square feet with nine-foot ceilings, seven-foot doors, crown molding, granite countertops in the kitchen, and corian countertops in the bathrooms.
The condo has been completely repainted, and 20-inch porcelain tile has been installed throughout the condo. The condo is not in front of an elevator so noise is not a problem.
The living area includes a new sofa that opens into a queen-sized bed, an oversized chair, a recliner, 40-inch flat screen TV, DVD player, and CD stereo sound system. Sit on the sofa and look at the Gulf of Mexico from this fifth-floor condo or go on the balcony and watch the dolphins playing in the water. You might get lucky and see the BLUE ANGELS fly down the beach.
The master bedroom has a king-sized bed, a large dresser, 40-inch flat screen TV and blue-ray player in an armoire, two nightstands, a private full-sized bathroom, and doors leading to the balcony with a view of the gulf. The guest bedroom has two twin beds, a large dresser, nightstand, 32-inch flat screen TV, and a connecting full-sized bathroom, which also opens to the living area. Look out the window in the guest bedroom and see the lagoon on the north side. Both bedrooms have great closet and drawer space. , The dining area has a glass top table which seats six and a granite bar which seats three. The kitchen is complete with every large and small appliance you will need: side-by-side refrigerator with ice and water in the door, glass top stove, microwave, dishwasher, garbage disposal, coffeepot with filters included, Keurig pot, blender, toaster, mixer, and electric can opener.
A wide variety of pots, pans, dishes, glassware, and other utensils are available. The kitchen has a separate pantry with lots of shelf space and even a place to put the garbage can. Also, the condo has a separate laundry room with a full-sized washer and dryer, ironing board, and iron. All linens and towels are provided. There is no daily maid service.
DIRECTIONS: From Interstate 10, take Highway 59 south. When you reach the beach, turn right on Highway 182 (West Beach Boulevard). Go approximately three-fourths of a mile, and Island Royale is on the left on the beautiful white beaches of Gulf Shores, just across the street from Ike's Beach Rental Service which is on the right.
The modern two-tone gray building has a white diamond shape on the front and an upper level parking area. You may park anywhere that is not numbered. Carts are available in the elevator area lobbies on the ground and second floors for an easy move in. Have a great vacation!! Once you get here, you will not want to leave, but you will want to come back again and again and again!!!

If you want to sit on the balcony and watch dolphins swim in the Gulf, you can't go wrong here! Within walking distance of downtown and far enough from the main hub that you can relax and hear the waves lap the shoreline! We will be back for sure!
Condo 505 was an excellent spot for two senior sisters to relax and enjoy the Gulf . The space was very clean and welcoming. The balcony was wonderful to take in the waves and views. We had all the supplies we needed for four days. The elevator was prompt as well. I would recommend this spot for anyone seeking relaxation and joy in Gulf Shores .
The beach is fabulous! The pool was warm. Restaurants are within walking distance. The condo was wonderful! It was clean and spacious. Kitchen was well stocked with cookware and dishes. It has an empty pantry so you have space for your food etc. The balcony was larger than expected. We were provided with all codes. Our checkout directions were clear. Host was reachable and personal. We hope to stay here again.
Loved the soft yellow walls, floral and beach decor, white furniture, just how a beach house should look. Well stocked kitchen and laundry supplies. Loved the beach front balcony with comfortable chaise. Perfect for naps!
The unit and location is a great place- Debra was super great to work with throughout the booking process also. Really enjoyed the balcony and beach time with family.
Everything we needed was in the condo! It was a great experience! Our family of four (my husband, a 4-year-old, a three-year-old, and I) plus my mom had plenty of space! Steps from the beach, and the owners are great!
We loved our stay! It was very clean and beautiful!! The owner was so very nice and communicated with me very well. Zero complaints would absolutely stay there again! Very quiet place!

What makes this property unique
We live in Gulf Shores and personally clean our own condo unless we are out of town. We continuously deep clean on a regular basis. We stay in the condo when we can so we know what needs to be done in order to keep everything in tip-top shape.
