Unit needs updated severely. Needs new paint, floors and furnishings. The shower door in the master bathroom is not on the track and has mold around the caulk. The bathroom doors have hairspray buildup, the bathroom fixtures are rusted, lightbulbs are missing, the plug ins are so warn out things will not stay plugged in. They asked if someone could assist with these issues but I told them nothing can be done on such short notice but to please notify the owners so maybe something can be done for future guests. Gulf shores is our go to vacation spot and we go every year. This unit is by far the most run down we have stayed in especially for the amount of money paid. We are so disappointed. The best thing about it is the beach access and view.

Condo was fine, Property management was awful!

The property itself was fine. It was mostly clean, although the fold ou couch bed was FULL of sand and obviously had not been cleaned. The bunk bed "mattresses" were 2 inch thick pillows laid on the wooden slab of the bunk. Even the children were uncomfortable. The master shower door wouldn't open or close without falling off onto whoever was showering. Notably even the main door lock did not work. We called management about not being able to get in and they sent someone local to "fix" it. He showed us a trick to open it and promised to be back in the morning to replace the lock but never came back. Absolutely none of this phased us. It was only when the wifi stopped working 2 days into our trip and we called Vacasa to help that the problems started. They kept saying they were sending someone local, but no one ever came. I called them every day and spent way too much time texting them through the app, but I was ignored. When we arrived, the wifi name and password did not work, but the guy who came to fix the lock gave us the property's main wifi/pass combo. When it stopped working I asked about the wifi that was labeled with our unit number, trying to get a password for that, but I was still ignored. The final evening of our trip I got on the app AGAIN to ask for help, and after getting the same run around from Vacasa I saw that the wifi listed on the app had changed and now the wifi was our unit number. It worked, but our trip was over. No help or discount giv

Fine

Location great. Pretty run down. The mattress on the kids beds were more like for patio furniture than a nights sleep. Had to double up those mattresses and utilize the pullout couch which was also very uncomfortable. Dishwasher had standing water in the bottom when we got there so didn’t use. Overall, fine I guess but definitely not Woolf not stay or recommend

Amazing location

Best idea yet. Being able to stay in the beach steps away from the ocean and a convenient wash off area to reduce sand tracking in. Love being able to wash towels, swim suits etc. Can use some upgrades but if your just staying there to rest between outings it’s perfect t. I recommend given the location and price. I’d do it again. Oh also we had a minor issue and when we reached out to management they responded very quickly and followed up to ensure we were happy. Fantastic service.

Great location!

The location was great! Right on the edge of the beach so it was less crowded-even for a holiday. It’s an older building so the condo is aged, but smaller which we preferred. The home was well stocked with things we needed to cook. My biggest complaint was the beds and couch. The bunk beds were basically foam mattresses which my teens said were very uncomfortable. Also the couch was old and worn and very uncomfortable to sit on. We spent most of our time on the balcony which was amazing! We ate out there too and rented chairs on the beach to lounge during the day. It was great to be right on the water! I would stay here again and hope the furniture is updated.

Nice Condo Building - But Unit could be better - Details are Important!

Royal Palms is a nice building where we have stayed many times before. This unit is not one of the best. The floors were dirty upon arrival; even sandy. There was only one blanket in the unit for all of us. The master bedroom had only sheets on the bed; no comforter, quilt, blanket, nothing but sheets. There was an old and very dirty comforter thrown in the floor of the closet which we definitely did not use! We were able to borrow blankets from another unit where someone we know was staying and they had plenty! The shower door in the master bathroom does not close all the way. The sofa is sagging and full of stains. When you pull out the sofa sleeper it is uneven and obviously very worn. Online photos are nice but are outdated.

Amenities not as described

I have stayed here before. My favorite in Gulf Shores. However when we arrived they were irking on the roof the entire stay. Also the hot tub was not operational nor the sauna. These were 2 of the deciding factors for us because of the cool weather. We didn’t even get to use them.
