Relaxing Respite

The views from the balcony over the Gulf are only matched by the comfort and quiet of the condo. Suitable for our family of six, the location was perfectly perched on the beach and walking distance to food, shopping, bars and local groceries and the like.

Great Gulf Shores Getaway

This condo had everything we wanted for our trip to Gulf Shores -- an ocean view with a large balcony, lots of room for our family and easy access to the beach. The condo is very well kept and has everything you need for a family getaway.

Promise Kept

Our family of 5 in one PH condo along with extended family of 7 in another PH condo gathered to uphold a promise to our mother, mother-in-law, grandmother, and great grandmother. She passed away last year but asked us to continue to get together locally and travel together - especially at the beach - her favorite place.We enjoyed Island Royale. The room was super clean and had plenty of room for everyone’s comfort. Beds were super comfy. View from the front facing beach were breathtaking but the view from the small balcony on the parking lot side was actually my favorite. Everything is lit up at night. We will def keep Island Royale on the list of our favorites. Thank you for sharing your home with us for our family to Keep a Promise.

Easy beach access and great view

While the interior is getting out dated, we weren’t there for the indoors. Excellent beach access and easy walking distance to restaurants. Only complaint about the place was the very noisy and uncomfortable queen bed. They should replace that, but everything else was ok.

Great view!

The view was amazing from the top level of this condo and there was seating for 8 with tables on the deck to watch the ovean and dolphins. There was a well stocked kitchen and enough beds for 8 plus a sofa sleeper. The pool had lots of options...indoor andnoutdoor hot tubs, small indoor pool and larger outdoor pool and separate kiddie pool.

Not a good value for the money

Great location - just steps away from the beach. But the property is in need of upgrading ie. towels were treadbare; one comforter was soiled (the replacement was no better); shower curtain old and needs replacing. Limited pots and pans. No lobby on the property so limited security. Next time will search for different property in the same area.

Island Royale Penthouse Suite 106

This place was perfect for our wants and needs ( priorities were: at least 1 walk in shower, comfortable outdoor seating, a large bathroom vanity, convenient location, a balcony facing the ocean, and a pool) We got ALL of that and more ( even cookbooks!). The rooms were very clean. There were luggage carts on the ground floor, excellent parking, 2 elevators, exceptional views, etc. The only things I can think of to make it a more enjoyable stay - would be a blow dryer in each bathroom, an extra kitchen garbage bag, and the ice maker only puts out about 20 cubes a day and the bathroom sinks drain slowly. These are all minor and easily fixable things and I hope to be able to rent this suite the bext time we visit Gulf Shores.

Great views!!!

The best thing of all were the views!!! It was so beautiful!! The unit was well stocked with kitchen utensils, pots, pans, and coffee maker!! The location was close to restaurants and shops. The only suggestions I have is for them to include more thorough information for the amenities and the checkout responsibilities. I had to call the property management company for the pool code, and I never found out where the gym was located and if it was a code for it. I also had to call and find out specifics on what they wanted us to do with the linen. It would be perfect if these were listed on the refrigerator or sent in an email or text. Overall, a great property.

Nice Location & Fantastic Views But AC & Mold Issues Were Troubling

The Location is nice, rite on the beach. However, the AC was not working. It was 80 degrees inside wen we arrived and it took >24 hours before it was finally repaired. Customer service did not answer the phone which rang for more than 35 Min before I gave up. I tried texting customer support which eventually responded about 1 hour later. The AC repair people arrived late on the following day and were able to resolve a problem with the rooftop compressor unit. Our guest complained about the presence of black mold in the guest room shower. The mold issue should be corrected ASAP as it could pose a health problem. As previously stated, the location is very nice and the views are fantastic from this 16th floor penthouse, however, some deferred maintenance items are in need of immediate attention.
