Fantastic unit, and building. The indoor pool was amazing since it tained our first two days. My only thing to note, is that the bed that is sort of in the wall is very short. If you are over 5'2 its likely going to be uncomfortable.

Great stay

The condo was clean and so cute. The location of the condo on the beach was perfect due to the park next store. The beach was very crowded to one side so it was nice to have no buildings on the other to spread out from all the people.

Very Nice and Great Location

The condo itself was wonderful. Very clean, great view, and perfect location. The only complaint is that the pools were dirty and there was not a net or anything available to skim the water to clean it up a bit. Overall, it was nice.

The only trouble we had was with the bed, it needs a new frame but was otherwise comfy. I loved that it was on the end and the beach wasn’t all that crowded! Definitely recommend

Great location on the beach!

We had a wonderful week long stay at the Royal Palms! You can walk on the beach to Sea n Suds for lunch or dinner, walk on the beach to the pier, or to Waffle House for breakfast. Fantastic beach front view, we spent a lot of time on the balcony overlooking the Gulf. The condo is small but works well for a couple, or with one or two small children. Easy drive to restaurants and souvenirs. Indoor and outdoor pools available. Go have a good time!

There was obviously some issue as the condo smelled very musty as you entered and they had a dehumidifier running that was full when we got there. Both shower heads dripped so we had to keep bathroom door shut at night to sleep. Would also recommend the single cup coffee maker be upgraded as it is a very old model and coffee was lukewarm. Otherwise condo was very clean and we loved the location.

October at the Beach cant be beat!

I can honestly say that Royal Palms will be our only go to place to stay come next October. No more searching. The room was perfect the view even more perfect. I don't have anything bad to say about Royal Palms. Only thing i can say is that our stay was to short and we know next time to book more days. We enjoyed every minute of our stay in 402. Cant wait to go back!
