Welcome to Royal Palms 206, a direct Gulf-front condo on the 2nd floor with panoramic views of emerald water and sugar-white sand.

EASY ARRIVAL:
Keyless entry makes check-in simple—no keys to pick up or keep track of. One of the best features for families is drive-up access to the 2nd-floor level, so unloading is quick and easy without waiting on elevators.

Step out from the living room to your private Gulf-front balcony—perfect for sunrise coffee, dolphin watching, and unforgettable sunsets.

FEATURES:
🏖️ Direct Gulf-front private balcony with panoramic views

The ocean view was fabulous. The room was just as described. Loved the convenience of the parking and the option of the indoor pool. It was also nice being near the state park. The owner was very helpful. We would definitely rent here again.

Perfect spot for a relaxing get away

We stayed in 206 and it was so easily accessible and we didn't have to mess with the elevator (bonus!) but were not on the ground floor so the view was amazing. Everything was super comfortable and convenient to everything we wanted to do. Will definitely stay here again next time we come to Gulf Shores!

Birthday Stay

Excellent location. The beach is very private, while at the same time convenient to the heart of Gulf Shores. The condo has small bathrooms, but the wife were able to have separate bathrooms which was nice. Also has two bunks, so would be perfect for small kids. The balcony is great. Being on the second floor it gives you a great view of the beach and with a grassy area directly in front which prevents any tra

Memorial Day.

Very ideal for small children and the location was ideal for having littles on the trip as well. Simple check in / check out. Everything went smooth. No complaints. If had I to nag something it would be the public beach access people use and kinda gets in the view/way of condo visitors. Still not as crowed as you’d think.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Royal Palm location. We had an awesome view of the Gulf and were right next to the Gulf State Park and pier. The condo was beautifully decorated and extremely comfortable. Our host Jason was great to work with and communicated promptly with us. We felt very welcome and at home.

Spectacular View

The view was beautiful. Had many meals on the balcony overlooking the gulf. Only a rocks throw to the beach. The condo was clean and efficient. Jason was great to check on us, making sure we had everything we needed and not to hesitate to call. Also enjoyed the sauna that was available at the facility. Can't wait to go back again.
