The space
You will love the location right on the beach overlooking the Gulf and the amenities of Royal Palms! (By the way, we are not "14 min walk" to the beach like ABB says, this is their programming error. we are directly on the beach :-D.) You can expect a sparkling clean condo, quality linens, upgraded furnishings and a full service kitchen that’s well stocked for your culinary needs. We take pride in providing you with the best "Home Away from Home" as possible so you can enjoy the beach and all that Gulf Shores and the Gulf of Mexico has to offer! Situated on the 8th floor serviced by two elevators you will have an amazing view!

Accommodations: The condo can sleep up to six (6) people including one bedroom with a king bed, hallway bunks with twin beds and a queen size sleeper sofa in the living room. **Note: We recommend four/five adults max for your ultimate comfort. The bunks are best for kiddos and they are a little shorter than a standard twin bed. The condo includes two full bathrooms which is always a bonus.

Living Room: The living room area is open concept and features tile floors, a couch with a queen sleeper sofa, reading chair, smart 65" TV, kitchen table for meals or game time (or desk space) and sliding glass doors out to the balcony. The balcony is our favorite place and it will wow you with endless views, a fresh breeze and the hypnotic sound of the waves. Free WI-FI and cable TV included. For rainy days you can find some cards and games inside the drawer on the tv chest. If you are lucky, you'll catch some dolphins playing or pelicans flying by you while you are out on the balcony.

Kitchen: If you choose to stay in to cook or prepare a snack, the chef's kitchen shines with gorgeous granite counter tops, a breakfast bar with stools, all appliances, pots/pans, utensils and serving ware. We have two coffee makers (a Keurig coffee maker and Mr. Coffee drip coffee maker), toaster, crock pot and blender available for your enjoyment too! A BBQ grill is located near the outdoor pool.

Washer/Dryer: For your convenience, a private laundry area is available for you inside the condo.

Bathrooms: There are two full bathrooms - one in the hallway and one is ensuite off the bedroom. The hallway bathroom has a tub with a shower overhead whereas the bedroom bathroom features a step-in shower. Both offer granite counter tops, shower pic wands and a fresh supply of towels.

On-Site Amenities: Royal Palms is a low density beachfront complex offering an outdoor pool, indoor pool and hot tub, steam room, sauna and fitness room. The fitness room is equipped with a treadmill and bike, both facing views of the beach to make your workout go a little quicker! There is a shower in this area as well. There are also outdoor showers to rinse off the sand from yourself and beach items as you are coming from the beach. If you are hankering for a BBQ, you can fire up the charcoal grills in the common area and enjoy your meal at the nearby picnic table.

Starter Supplies: Included in your rate is a starter supply of paper towels, toilet paper, laundry soap, shampoo, conditioner, facial soap and dishwasher detergent. Linens and bath towels are included but beach towels are not provided so remember to pack yours.

Beach Items: Perdido Beach Service provides rental beach chairs, umbrellas and other beach items directly behind the condo on the beach, weather permitting but typically March 1 - October 31st. Bring your own beach chairs if you choose plus beach towels and any beach toys. The bath towels are not allowed to be removed from the condo. There is an open access storage room near the elevators to store your beach toys and chairs, etc. The area is not secure so keep that in mind.

Parking: Royal Palms provides for up to two cars (no RVs, campers or trailers) in the ample parking offered onsite, based on a fee schedule of $60/vehicle for your entire stay (unless during The Hangout Fest when the fee is $150). The Guest Parking Certificate fee will be labeled as "Resort Fee" on your reservation. Please let us know ahead of time if you would like a second pass for an additional charge of $60.

You will need to display your Guest Registration Certificate inside your vehicle. You will find your parking certificate on the kitchen counter upon check-in. If there is a security guard at the parking lot, let them know that your pass is inside the condo. Please indicate if you do not need a parking space and we will credit you back the expense of the permit. Thank you so much.

This is a NON Smoking condo including the balcony. There is a smoking area outside by the BBQ. Thank you for your courtesy! We appreciate it.

Guest access
Enjoy full access to the condo as well as common areas such as the pools, hot tub, sauna, steam room, fitness room, BBQ grill/picnic area and outside showers. Public restrooms and a public shower are located on the 2nd floor in the workout area for your convenience if you don't want to go back up to the condo just to use the restrooms. Both the pool entry and the workout room are keypad protected - you will need a code to enter them and we will provide you with the code before you visit. The same code works both doors.

Other things to note
Occasionally there is a programming bug from Air that states our condo is "14 min walk to the beach by Shrimp Fest" which is incorrect and they are working on fixing this. So please know we have a beautiful view and are right on the beach. So lovely.

Due to the cleaning company schedule, we are not able to offer late check out or early check in. Check out the public beach if you wish to spend that day at the beach. :)

We hope to welcome you soon!

Neighborhood highlights

Directly on the Gulf of Mexico and beach, this is such a wonderful area of Gulf Shores as it offers the best of both worlds. Once you arrive, you'll be within walking distance to several restaurants (under one mile) and you'll find a little more privacy and on this less crowded end of the beach. We 'd be remiss to not mention the views: with no major buildings to our east, the sunrises are a stunning display and of course the sunsets are ever so beautiful!! Make sure to grab your coffee or evening beverage and enjoy the moments and hopefully you'll catch some early morning dolphins at play too. Our condo is right on the water and has a private boardwalk to the beach. The beach is pristine and part of the 32 mile stretch of the beautiful Alabama coastline!

Things to Do: The Gulf Shores/Orange Beach communities offer so much for both the young and old! The best part is you get to choose how active you wish to be - hang out on the beach or by the pool or go biking, hiking, boating, kayaking, paddle boarding, snorkeling, or zip lining. There is plenty of night life, music events, delicious food and larger venues that offer something for everyone. Check out The Wharf, the Zoo, OWA Entertainment and Amusement Park Destination, Waterville (water park), The Track (mini-golf, go-karts etc), Fort Morgan and other historical sites. Or you can opt to get on the water and rent a cruise (Dolphin, Dinner or Sunset Cruise) or be challenged on one of the 14 stunning, 18-hole golf courses in the area. The nearby Gulf State Park offers 27 miles of paved trails for walking or biking on over 6000 acres of natural beauty. The Park now offers free bikes to visitors with a smart phone! There are 50 bikes located throughout the park and are first come first serve. Right up the beach from you is the Gulf State Fishing Pier* which at 1540 feet long is the largest pier on the Gulf of Mexico. It's a paradise if you love to fish...but with a retail shop, concessions, bait/tackle shop, souvenirs, and the view - it is worth a visit even if you aren't going to fish! Entry fee is $3. You can purchase fishing licenses on site. Many of our guests have really enjoyed this.

For more information, you will find brochures regarding local events and attractions in the vending area of the building. Gulf Shores also has a great website that will answer all your questions. Check it out and start planning!

After visiting Gulf Shores on vacation, we fell in love with the area and decided to purchase our condo. We love the laid-back vibe, delicious seafood and the many music events in Gulf Shores and felt from the beginning that this place had "good karma". We invite you to relax and be our guests--we know you will enjoy it as much as we do! If you need good karma, you will find it here. If you have extra, please leave some for the next guest. Royal Palms 902 is privately owned and managed. We call our condo "GOOD KARMA GULF SHORES"!
