Direct Gulf Front ~1BR 2BA+Bunks ~ 2nd Floor ~ Keyless Entry ~ GulfShoresByOwner

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



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.



GULF-FRONT BALCONY VIEWS:

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

🏖️ Keyless entry for easy self check-in (no keys to manage)

🏖️ King bed in the primary bedroom

🏖️ Hallway bunks (best for kids; not recommended for adults or tall children)

🏖️ Queen sleeper sofa for extra sleeping space

🏖️ Two full bathrooms (a huge help for families)

🏖️ Fully equipped kitchen

🏖️ Coffee setup: Keurig AND a regular drip coffee pot

IMPORTANT: The ramp/turn to the 2nd-floor parking is very tight. We strongly recommend oversized/large vehicles do not park on the 2nd floor.



LOCATION (LESS CROWDED BEACH!):

Royal Palms is located next to Gulf State Park & the Fishing Pier, which means this stretch of beach is typically less crowded than many other areas of Gulf Shores. You can also walk to the pier and you’re close to all the Gulf Shores/Orange Beach dining, shopping, and attractions.



SMOKE-FREE BUILDING:

🏖️ No smoking in the unit or on the balcony.

🏖️ Smoking is permitted only in the designated smoking area located on the ground floor.

Clean and comfortable with beautiful views!

The condo was clean, comfortable and had several kitchen essentials. It’s located on the second floor and there was parking right out front which was super convenient. We had a question for which we contacted the owner while we were there and they were super quick to respond. The owners provided clear and timely check in and check out instructions and even provided a list of recommendations. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back!

Our family had an amazing stay! The condo exceeded our expectations in every way. Jason was fantastic to work with and went above and beyond by helping us plan our trip, making everything so easy from the start.The condo was even closer to the beach than we expected, and the short walk made it incredibly convenient. One of our favorite parts was how private and peaceful the beach felt. The gated parking area with a security guard also gave us extra peace of mind while we were away from home, which we truly appreciated.Most importantly, our kids had an absolute blast and made so many wonderful memories. We couldn't have asked for a better vacation and will definitely be returning. We highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a relaxing, family-friendly stay in Gulf Shores!

Wonderful condo and host!!!

We have rented this condo numerous times! Always nice and clean. Very convenient to shopping. Beach views are incredible!! One wonderful thing about this particular condo is that you can literally back up to the door to unload and load. Highly recommend and give it 5 stars. The host is incredibly easy to reach and communicate with.
