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!

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.

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

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.

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.

Overall the stay was great. A few minor fixes should be addressed. The front lock was broken as well as the patio lock. Also the bunk beds were extremely creeky but otherwise the patio was beautiful and the location of the condo was amazing

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!

Balcony is wonderful, as is Gulf Shores in general. The unit was pretty basic inside. I think next time if I spend this much money, I'll go for a more updated unit with a normal balcony.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We could not be more happy with the accommodations at Royal Palms. Room was very clean and well organized. All the staff at Bender realty and Royal Palms were very nice and helpfull. The location was my absolute favorite part. Beautiful views and quick easy access to everything we wanted to do. We will definitely be return customers.

The balcony alone would have me renting this property again! It was fabulous. The condo was accurately portrayed in the photos. A great space for a couple or small family. The only downside would be the indoor pool area. It could use some refreshing and the patio furniture in this unit could be updated, with a table to eat on outside and some cushions for the metal lounge chairs. The balcony is huge, and some of the space felt wasted without good furniture to enjoy it. But the view makes up for any minor flaws! I would absolutely stay here again.

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.

Over all the pictures and description did not depict how small if space the unit truely is.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The check-in and check-out process was easy. The air conditioner was not working when we arrived. We called the after hours emergency number for Bender and they were quick to send someone out to evaluate the situation and had it fixed by later that evening. The condo is in a great location, right next to the Gulf State Park, which is a less crowded part of the beach. The view from the deck is fantastic (the deck is large), but unfortunately for us, halfway through our stay they began construction and crammed all of the furniture into one corner, placing large construction equipment and limiting our use of the deck to a very small area right in front of sliding doors. Overall, the condo was small for the price paid and in need of some TLC. In the bedroom, part of the ceiling is hanging, and the carpeting in the bedroom is dirty and needs to be either professionally cleaned or removed.

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.

8/10

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.
