Can't Wait to Return Next Year!

by Sand Man 2012-08-08

5/5

Our family of three stayed for an extended weekend and we did not want to leave! We will definitely return next year (could be four of us by then!), and this time we won't have to spend any time deciding where to book. There's a whole lot to love about this condo. First of all - the view! It is immaculate. Just look at the pictures and the description in the listing. Nothing will do it justice, though, compared to soaking in that view in person. The condo itself was really nice. Clean upon arrival, everything in good working order, (which isn't always the case at vacation rental properties). Inside the condo you'll find a nice beachy mood without being overly beachy like so many are. It has a welcoming feel to it and a vacationy feel to it, without being corny or distracting. (I will obviously never be hired to write articles for interior design magazines...). Beds were comfortable - so comfortable in fact that when we returned home, we found ourselves feeling constricted in our queen-sized bed; the comfortable king-sized master bed at the condo spoiled us and now we will soon be looking to upsize our own. The beach is wonderful. In front of the condo you'll find a pretty typical gulf coast beach experience. But what separates this spot from the rest is that there are two contrasting neighboring beach worlds depending on which way you look. If you want a quiet romantic walk, you head left, down a sparsely populated beach towards the pier, there are no condos along the way. And then go further past the pier for even more privacy and it seems like you have the shoreline all to yourself. Or head to the right for a more lively and entertaining walk along a busier and more typical shoreline with a more populated beach as you pass in front of the never-ending line of condos. For dining out - you'll be in a great location, at the eastern edge of Gulf Shores, perfectly placed within easy reach of all the great restaurants in either Gulf Shores or Orange Beach - Take your pick! If you want to save money and eat in at the condo, the kitchen has everything needed to make that happen. We cooked two meals and my wife seemed at home in the kitchen. We were able to carry on our conversation while she worked near the sink, because it faces the living room area. We are used to practically yelling around the wall at home. Bottom line: I highly recommend this condo; I could not have asked for a better overall experience at such a good value.

This place was perfect!! It had enough room for friends/family if we wanted, but it was also perfect for just the two of us. Thank you!!

by Michele 2023-04-07

Everything was clean and enjoyable! Thank you!

by Kathy 2022-06-22

Great for a young family. Poole and Associates was great. Excellent time.

by Patricia 2022-04-27

We had an excellent time this property. We hope to return in the fall.

BEACH TIME

by Amanda 2021-08-03

A GREAT PLACE FOR FAMILY AND KIDS CLOSE TO BEACH AND NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE ON THE BEACH

Wonderful condo!

by Rachael 2021-07-18

We loved everything about this condo. The location itself is perfect, it's very close to restaurants and other activities, but it's also on the border of Gulf State Park, so the beach isn't as crowded. While the appliances were a bit dated, everything worked fine. There were plenty of towels for the 5 of us (a huge complaint I've had at other places), and there was even a towel swan left in the master bedroom to greet us. Very cute! We will definitely be back to this condo!

Average

by Angela 2021-05-27

4/5

We enjoyed our stay. However, there were a few things that made it just an average vacation condo. The bedspread in the master bedroom was dirty and torn. So, we found a blanket to sleep under instead. Also, the orange paint was too much—easy fix. A new dishwasher was installed while we were there and then we realized that it wasn't draining properly. Then the morning we were leaving, there was no water. I know that things happen, but it all added up to an average stay.

Enjoyed stay

by Wendy 2021-01-01

The unit itself was good. Table way to large for living space. Appliances dated, but worked. Beds great. Our visit is about the view and got it. Great location! Love corner unit. Would stay again.

Last minutes plans

by Sam 2020-08-16

We needed a condo with only a week to plan. Poole & Associate's was able to accommodate us. The staff was friendly and helpful and the check in/check out process was simple. Royal Palms 801 was a nice condo with a spectacular view with the wrap around balcony. The property and condo were both well kept and clean. We are checking our schedules to try and plan our next visit to Gulf Shores

Great location!!

by Monica 2020-08-06

Fantastic location, loved being next to the state park so the crowd was limited.

Royal Palms 801 Gulf Shores

by Reanna 2020-06-18

We really enjoyed our stay at 801 Royal Palms. Condo was nice, only a couple issues; no remotes worked living room tv, no clothes hangers, hot tub never worked, indoor pool only available for 1 day of stay. Otherwise absolutely zero complaints and would definitely stay again

801 Royal Palms

by Gwen 2020-06-13

Very nice. Loved the view. We had a great time.

Above Average

by Craig 2020-05-11

We thoroughly enjoyed our vacation and the condo. It had everything we needed and mostly enjoyed views from the balcony. The location was close to everything and easy access to the uncrowded beach. Surf fishing was also pretty good. I'm certain we'll return.

Excellent

by Daniel 2019-08-25

Great condo, awesome views, short walk to beach would stay again

by Gretchen 2019-08-20

Loved the view from balcony and master bedroom. Great space for our family of five. Functional and comfortable but could be updated a bit-especially master bath (shower) and master bed (very worn in). We enjoyed our stay and would stay there again. Also, a keypad would have been much appreciated instead of physical keys-the keys stuck in the lock and required many attempts to open door, and it's just easier to have a code than carry a key to the beach.

Nice Condo

by Kellie 2019-07-23

This is a very nice condo and we loved the complex itself. It has an indoor/outdoor pool and hot tub and all of them were kept very clean. You have short walk to the beach and most of it is over a nice boardwalk. The pier is within close walking distance which is also great! The condo was clean and in good condition. I only have a couple of suggestions for the owners #1 to get some nicer furniture for the balcony. Those cheap plastic chairs and table are uncomfortable and just don't look very appealing. We brought our own chairs to sit in as one of our favorite things to do is sit on the balcony and enjoy the view. Also the couch in the living room is awful. It's tiny, hard, and very uncomfortable. In my opinion if the living room/dining area were completely remodeled it would be much more appealing for people when they're looking at pictures and wanting to rent. In the evenings we like to sit in the living room and talk, but the furniture just was not comfortable at all. I only say these things for the owners benefit. I am not trying to downgrade this amazing condo. We enjoyed our stay very much. Other than that, its great! Kitchen is small, but nice and well stocked. The bedroom furniture was good and the bathrooms were nice. We also loved the bunk beds in the hallway, they worked perfectly for my nieces.

Great place to stay at the Gulf

by Walter 2019-06-06

Really enjoyed 801 Royal Palms. Clean, great amenities, beautiful view. Ya'll made renting easy. The linens were ready and waiting. Parking was readily available. The common areas were well kept. The pool inside and out was convenient. Right on the beach. Good security. Would highly recommend this location. Would like to stay there again in the future.

by Donna 2019-04-04

We had a great time,we felt safe and comfortable.

by Dennis 2018-10-30

Enjoyed our stay very much. Already making plans to bring the whole family next year. This is a great place

February 2018

by Pam 2018-03-07

We have been renting condos in February for the last four years and Unit 801 is the best condo we have stayed in so far. It is an end unit so you only have one neighbor. It was clean, bright and had the most comfortable furniture we have had. The building has a nice indoor hot tub and there is no traffic congestion since the building is the last building before the state park.

Best Condo in Gulf Shores!

by Girls Trip 2010 2010-10-15

After a friend recommended this condo, I booked it for our annual girl's trip. We had the most amazing time. It was the nicest condo we had stayed in yet! The view from the large corner balcony was beautiful! We ate every meal out there. The condo was the perfect size for the seven of us. The beds were so comfortable and we all slept great. I was shocked by how quiet it was; we couldn't hear the people next to us or above us. The location was perfect! It was so close to dining and shopping, plus we could walk to the fishing pier. And nothing beats being steps away from the ocean! We can't wait to come back and stay here again!!

Hangout Fest

by Mike 2015-07-09

Myself, two other guys, and two girls stayed in here for the Hangout Festival this past May. We had a fantastic time at the festival, and the condo was perfect for the 5 of us. It was great to be able to easily walk to the festival from the condo and not have to worry about parking or shuttles. The condo itself was great. At times we had 8 or 9 people there and there was plenty of room for people to sit and relax between the balcony and the living room. The condo is close to great restaurants, gift shops, grocery stores and lots of other local hotspots. We also didn't have trouble staying in and cooking as the condo has a full kitchen with all the dishes, pots, and pans one could need. Sleeping wasn't a problem as the queen and king sized beds were very comfortable, and the couch and bunks worked well for us too. The complex was not extremely crowded (compared to other condo complexes) and there was no obnoxious music or loud yelling and screaming late into the night. During the day we didn't have a problem finding a spot on the beach either. There was always an open spot and enough room for everyone to spread out unlike a lot of other complexes in the area. The water was the perfect temperature and was very clean too. The pier to the east provides fishing for anyone looking to fish, as well as good scenery at night as the pier is lit up. Everyone there was very friendly as well. Overall we had a great experience and we all want to come back in years to come. I would definitely recommend this condo!

View cannot be beat!!!

by Carole N. 2016-01-06

The pictures were very accurate. The condo had everything we could want. It was a good size for my husband and me and our daughter, son-in-law, and two grandgirls. The view is unbeatable and the walk to the beach is very short. The deck is a nice size for six people. The one thing we didn't realize was that while the pool is indoors you have to go out of doors to get to it. Since it was quite cold the week we were there this wasn't ideal even though we did enjoy the pool. While we understand that carpeting and beaches don't go well together, if it is in the condo then it needs to be kept clean and the carpet in the bedroom definitely wasn't very clean even though everything else in the apartment was. We would definitely rent this condo again if we wanted a place for 2 - 6 people.

Great location and view

by Guest 2017-04-02

We have stayed at the Royal Palms for several years. The location near the state park is excellent. Each year they seem to keep making improvements to the faucilty. This VRBO had an excellent view, clean and beautiful. You can walk for miles on the beach in each direction and the residents of the Gulf Shores area are always friendly and helpful.Really enjoyed it.Jill and Mike

Well pleased, easy beach access and wonderful accommodations. Love the indoor and outdoor pool!!

Great location to watch the fireworks for the Fourth of July !Condo has nice layout, it needs some TLC in fridge & microwave. Did not care for mattresse in master bedroom, way too soft for me. Sleeper sofa was broken also 😞. Still not a bad stay.

by Adrian 2017-04-15

We absolutely loved this condo! Wonderful location, wonderful views, perfect beach. Furniture is comfortable and not over done. Lots of storage! Although it is an older condo with the expected minor maintainence issues, it is still a wonderful unit and we will be back.

Review

by Jill 2017-04-02

Stay was excellent. Although there were some small issues (no remote for TV, Wifi service issue and shelf broken in refrig) When I called to notify of issues those were fixed very quickly. Place was very nice (and clean) Have stayed at Royal Palms for many years due to location and previous positve stays. Thank you, Jill and Mike

Quiet, Clean, and Comfortable

WE were very pleased with the unit.We would recommend it to others

by Jo 2016-07-26

Very clean. This was a great place for my family. Only issues we had were that the bathtubs and l sink drained very slow. Took showers standing in 4 inches of water; and we were only l left with 5 washcloths and therefore had do launder them everyday. Otherwise, we were very happy with the place and next time we return will try to get this same place. Loved the fact that it was further down the beach and more secluded.

by Jonquil 2016-06-16

We were really impressed with the location of the condo and had a great time!

Amazing Location

by Judy 2016-04-05

Best Location on the beach for families! Unit was just the right size for family of four. Kitchen had everything we needed. Great views from the balcony AND every single room since the unit is on the end.

Easter Weekend

by LouisianaLou 2010-04-16

My husband and I and son and friend stayed here over Easter and had a great time. Incredible views of 2.5 miles of undeveloped State Park dunes and also Lake Shelby. The condo has a 42" flat screen TV and is clean and comfortable. We really didn't need a thing. Loved the two pools, hot tub and the ability to be close to everything but have an uncrowded beach. Quiet to sleep and everything worked. I think we were the first to stay under the new ownership. The balcony view is one of the best we have seen in GS.

Great Place! Great Value!

by Beachlover 2012-02-02

The location of the Royal Palms condos can't be beat. If you like strolling down a mostly deserted beach, you get it here. If you want to people watch while walking down the beach, you get it here too - just start your walk in the other direction. And if fishing is your thing, you get it here too, with a state fishing pier a short walking distance away. This condo is very well-maintained and clean and offers very comfortable accommodations. The place is stocked with ample dishes and a generous supply of linens and real pots (too often a rare find at beach condominiums). The pictures of the place are true to the look and feel of the condo and as a corner condo you have great panoramic views. The balcony is ideal for viewing the rolling tides or watching the activity on the beach. Writing this review makes me want to book another trip now - maybe I'll see you at the Royal Palms soon.

View can't be beat!

by Carole 2016-01-02

Being just west of the state park gives this condo an unbelievable view. The walk out to the beach is very short. Six of us stayed there comfortably with the grangirls using the bunks in the hallway. There was everything we needed. The carpet in the bedroom could use a good cleaning, but everything else was very clean. We didn't realize you have to go outside to get to the indoor pool so make sure you take a warm cover up. We really enjoyed the pool. Would definitely rent again.
