Up on the roof

Just saw the James Taylor concert in Orange Beach and he played up on the roof. This place reminds me of that song. Beautiful unit needs some more outdoor chairs but other than that it was perfectly clean. Nice place to stay.

Girls Trip

The condo was tastefully decorated and clean. The kitchen well stocked with plenty of pots, pans and dishes, everything you need to cook a meal. Plenty of beds for six people however the bunk beds in the hallway are a bit short. The balcony was massive with a breathtaking view! Great to have all that room since the condo is small.

Second stay at Royal Palms

Other than some updating needed with the TV and a couple of cosmetic repairs, the balcony was super nice to have! There was plenty of hot water for all of us. Plenty of bath towels and rags. Good furniture on patio. Wonderful view! Kitchen size was nice. Wouldn’t recommend hallway beds for anyone over 10. We love the location of the building!

Perfect getaway

This condo was the perfect getaway for a few days. The balcony view is absolutely stunning day and night. You have plenty of space to sit in the shade or sun, as well as plenty of seating. As other reviews say there is an access door to the balcony, but it can be locked from the balcony side to secure the condo. It was nice and clean with plenty of indoor seating and comfy beds. The beach is a very short walk with a nice walkway to use. It was also never crowded at this location as it is the last condo before the state park/pier. 10/10 would go back again!

Your review is appreciated. Royal Palms 1407 is a great location. It is convenient to area restaurants, shopping and entertainment. We rent both end condos on the top floor. The balconies wrap around to the side of the building and the view is incredible. You can book up to a year in advance. We look forward to you staying with us again.

It was okay

It was okay. The TVs are way too small. Electric grill does not work. Sand was in bed. You one parking pass and one extra is 55$ which is absolutely ridiculous. It was okay tho overall may stay again. But for the price I feel like I can find something way better

Out-dated

Old and rusty furniture on balcony along with broken beach gear, mold on ceiling air vents, walls. no broom for sand. Leaking faucet in bathroom, neither shower doors work. Very unhappy with this Condo. Only good thing about it is the view and location. Don’t waist your money.

The view from the balcony of Royal Palms 1407 is indeed magnificent. The location is convenient to all of the local restaurants and attractions. We are certainly sorry about the bugs that you saw; we would have called the property manager in order for pest control to come right away, had we been made aware. We will also address the kitchen drawers.

The balcony sells the place hands down. I really really enjoyed this balcony. The condo is a bit dated with a few upgrades would be so much better. The bed pillows are flat as a flitter. The bedroom bathroom needs a drain cover, those of us wearing contacts get nervous there. The coffee maker should be at least a keurig/pot combo. I was the only one drinking 1 cup of coffee a day so a keurig would have been great. Instructions on using the bedroom tv/remote. The living room remote is missing the battery cover. No storage at all for food purchased for the kitchen, no where to put things unless in refrigerator. The bedroom needs a curtain, the outside light is brighter than daylight itself. The worst was mildew in the shower tracks, hard to care for I know but it was rather gross. Building needs to be mindful of those who do smoke on the balcony as it tends to ruin the quality of the air for those of us who don't.

Not so good

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Let’s start with the positive. The view was incredible, the deck was amazing, we love the Building, when we did send an initial complaint, the company was receptive to send out someone to vacuum and treat for pests. At that point, though, we had already cleaned.The bed was terribly uncomfortable. It is almost impossible to lay on it without sinking into the middle. There were lots of places in the condo that were not very clean. I get that when you rent a condo, you need to bring some of your own things, but only having two trash bags kind of stinks. We were expected to sweep the floor but there wasn’t even a dust pan. Just overall very disappointed. Will not use this property mgmt again.

Response from VrboOwner on 21 October 2024
The building location is perfect, right next to the State Park, and the view from the balcony is indeed stunning. We will contact the guest about the bed to determine if a new mattress is needed, and a dust pan will certainly be brought to the condo. The unit is scheduled for a deep clean in three weeks, after the busy spring, summer, and fall break seasons. All guests receive in their confirmation the fact that there is just an initial supply of paper products; we regret any inconvenience that caused you. We have many, many properties, and welcome the opportunity to assist you in your next visit to the Gulf Coast!

The view is wonderful but the condo is not.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The view was fantastic and the deck was great except that the outside door was unlocked and we didn't know until the following day that is was. Not good! Everyone from the other condos could've come and used our deck and anyone could've come in because the sliding glass door to the deck does not lock! The condo was old, furniture old and ratty, overall cleanliness was poor. Food and dirt under the furniture and on the box spring of the bed. The comforter was old and ragged. The window to the master bedroom was unlocked and we didn't notice it until the day before we left. Not good for safety issues. Couldn't use the shower in the master due to water pouring out of the cabinet above the toilet. We had to use the spare bathroom for showers. Even though it's a penthouse, we will not rent this one again. Very dissatisfied with our stay here.

Needs work, but all about the balcony.

The location of the building is fantastic, right next to the state land, so the beach isn't overcrowded. Also, the balcony is unbelievable! It's such a shame there isn't better furniture to use on it. All the patio furniture is old and moldy on the seats. We had to use our beach towels to sit on. Mostly used the wire chairs, which were uncomfortable, but at least didn't have moldy cushions. It was also not disclosed to us that there is high-rise construction going on adjacent to the patio. It didn't ruin the outside for us, but it was very noisy from early morning until about 4-5pm every day. Inside was mostly clean, but extremely dated throughout. Floor had no signs of sand, including the carpet, which is nice, however, there were spots around the couch where the floor wasn't clean, and the sofa smelled very musty. Bathroom air conditioner vent in the ceiling was moldy and concerning. The windows are so nice to have additional views of the ocean. Showers were clean, and had good water pressure. Great location of trash chute, right outside of entry. Didn't get to use the indoor or outdoor pool, always loaded with people. Very convenient access to beach directly, and handy shower area next to walkway. The view is so fantastic in this unit, it is a shame to not update the unit and make it really feel like a treat! Probably won't stay in this unit again, even for the view, because of the furnishings. But would definitely stay in the building again.
