Best View in Gulf Shores

Reviewed on 2025-03-10 by Winner
Overall
5
We have stayed in several units at Royal Palms (all of which have been wonderful) but this unit was the best of all! Everything is just as described and pictured, and the views of the beach from the beach facing balcony to the side wrap around were the greatest. The unit itself was spacious and well organized. We felt right at home the minute we walked down the long hallway to the living room. Absolutely wonderful!!!

Manager's Response

This condo truly has the best view on the island, with its wraparound balcony and unobstructed view of the Gulf. Be sure to reach out when you are ready for your next Royal Palms getaway!

Royal Palms is a great place to stay on the Gulf. You're beachfront and street noise is non existent. Has an indoor pool and elevators. The unit was clean and a well stocked kitchen. Each bedroom has it's own bath plus a half bath. Very pleasant!

Amazing visit

We had an awesome vacation at Royal Palms!! The penthouse is most amazing. We had friends visit us, they were amazed also. The weather was perfect we decided to stay on last minute and Bender was able to get us a different condo, everything went so smooth. Great business to work with!!

We made a last-minute decision to go to Gulf Shores because our daughter and family were going. The penthouse was the only unit available. It is a very nice unit but much too big for the two of us. It is also quite pricey. The view of the beach from the wraparound balcony was lovely. We normally vacation off-season at our favorite condo on Padre Island, Texas. We did not enjoy the in-season crowds at Gulf Shores with the bumper to bumper traffic, crowded restaurants and would not do it again. We thought it unusual that the facility, especially considering the price of the units, required guests to provide their own toiletries, toilet paper, dish detergent, and we did not realize that we were required to also bring our own trash bags. Our condo on Padre supplies all of these plus "refills," as well as clean towels whenever needed. They also pick up our garbage when placed outside of our door and leave replacement trash bags. It was convenient to have a washer and dryer in the unit. We were surprised, however, that we were required to wash, dry and put up dishes and utensils before we left. It was obvious that previous guests had perhaps put up dishes which had not been adequately washed. Management should be responsible for insuring that dishes and utensils are sanitary and not leave it up to guests. We washed the dishes before we used them in addition to after use. The staff at the Bender office was extremely friendly and helpful. We were greeted at the condo by a very nice gentleman, Mike, who helped us bring in our luggage and supplies. Overall, the experience was pleasant, but we think we will continue to vacation off-season at our perfectly nice but much more reasonably priced condo on Padre.

This has been our 3rd stay at Royal Palms 1403 for a month.
The Penthouse was very clean, spacious, and the wraparound balcony provided beautiful patio furniture to enjoy the view of the beach.
Good customer service was provided when the ice maker didn’t work, a serviceman replaced ice maker/ door seal in a timely matter.
I would highly recommend this Penthouse to anyone.
We have stayed at many other properties tru Bender Realty at Gulf Shores and this by far has the most Awesome view , spacious living area, and the paintings by the owner we loved.
The only recommendation would be to replace the couch eventually.
We hope the owner continues to offer us snowbirds winter monthly rates.
Thank you to the owner and Bender Reality for letting us enjoy a beach condo that felt like home to us.

We loved Royal Palms 1403. There was plenty of room in the living room and dining room area for the kids to hang out in. The bedrooms had plenty of space as well and the extra half bath was a great bonus. The balcony was our favorite part. It is huge and the furniture is comfortable. We plan to stay here again.

Exceptionally Awesome, we felt like rolayity in this Penthouse.
The new patio furniture that the owner placed on deck was a Great addition to this rental!
The only isssue we had was the couch was uncomfortable, maybe a replacement in the future would be nice. It was low to floor , especially for a tall person Property was clean, holes in ceiling needed repair due to roof being replaced.
Is there any thought of a upgrade to have USB ports available?
We have stayed in this rental March 2021 and plan on spending a month end of 2022.

We love Bender Realty and The Royal Palms Penthouse is the only place we stay. You will not be disappointed. Yes the building is going through hurricane repairs but nothing that will ruin your stay. I actually walked with the dolphins swimming by because the sandbar was so close and big it was amazing. Hope to be back in 2022 .

Manager's Response

Your kind words and repeat patronage are certainly appreciated! The view from Royal Palms 1403 is unbeatable, and we always look forward to your visits!

This has been one of the best condos we have stayed in. The private balcony along with the huge wrap around balcony was one of our favorite things. The views from the balconies were beyond spectacular. The condo itself was very spacious. Despite construction work going on the building, and then the unit next to us being totally gutted. I would highly recommend this unit to everyone.

We're so glad you enjoyed your stay in Royal Palms 1403. It has one of the best views on the island!

Had a wonderful visit. However it was very noisy as they were replacing the roof which went on all day till about 6. Took this unit for the balcony and we had painters for three days of our visit. Which all these h things have to be done, I understand just disappointed that it was at this time. But condo is wonderful does still need some repairs ceiling plaster was felling in all the rooms. Bathroom have been nicely updated.

Manager's Response

Royal Palms 1403 is a wonderful condo with unbeatable views from its wraparound balcony. It's hard to believe that repair work from Hurricane Sally is still going on, which is why we notified you a month before your arrival and gave you a discount off of your stay. Here's to a hurricane-free visit next year, in this same wonderful condo!

Royal Palms has the great benefit of being the last unit before the noncommercial Gulf State Park beach, an especially desirable benefit during this summer with so many people are in Gulf Shores. Views were wonderful from this penthouse unit, and the wraparound balcony provided shelter for everyone even on a rainy day. Loved having a full-sized washer/dryer while there for a week. Furnishings were fine, beds were comfortable. Cons: Housekeeping quality control could be better. Workers need and to double check floors behind the bathroom doors. Refrigerator shelving needed to be wiped down before we put the food in it. Overall we had a wonderful week and would rent this unit again.

The unit is a great location on a quiet stretch of beach. However, the only advantage for this unit is it's huge balcony, which is in desperate need of new furniture. We had 2 usable Adirondack chairs for our group of 4 adults. The furniture looks like it was picked up from the free bin downstairs.

Love the Gulf Shores!

The penthouse was nice. The view was incredible. The bedrooms were large and the bathrooms were clean and serviceable. Having stayed in Orange Beach the past 5 years, it was nice being in a quieter location that Gulf Shores provides. Being beside the State Park also was a plus. No buildings blocking the view or neighbors looking in your windows. There was a slight issue with the water pressure in the kitchen. When the tap is opened, the water would aerate and spew out in gasps. Sometimes only air would come out of the faucet. It would clear up in a minute or two. Overall, the property was what we needed for a long weekend.

We have rented this she met many times over the past years it is one of the best on the beach. This year with coven 19 we did bring our own sanitizing wipes and my thoughts sprays and we did re clean everything that we touched when we arrived and before we left. I was really surprised to see that this year the condo was not as clean as previous years. The stove and oven was not cleaned at all there is a grease splattered all over the stove and up under the wall and the oven still had aluminum foil left in it from the previous renters. Also previous renters had spilt something red and splattered into the creases of the cabinets so when you open the door it had read sticky stuff all over the place which I did clean. over all We did enjoy our stay. And we will be returning next year.

Manager's Response

Royal Palms 1403 is indeed a repeat-worthy condo with its phenomenal view of the Gulf. We apologize for the housekeeping issues you experienced and would have gladly come addressed them. We look forward to seeing you again next year!

The unit was very clean and comfortable, nicely furnished with great view of the beach. Bigger balcony then most units in this complex. Nice dining area would seat up to 6. One odd thing is that one bedroom did not share ventilation with the main unit. It had a hotel style wall unit to control air and heat in that room. It worked well and we were comfortable once we realized that room was controlled separately.

Manager's Response

Very good experience. Only 2 negatives were the condo was so, so clean (master shower & edges everywhere needed attention. Also, one day we came back & someone had been in our unit. No notice or call ahead. Apparently they were supposed to get into it the week prior & couldnt. The issue was no notice or note left telling us who was in the room. There is no safe in the room so having anyone in there when we are not there without a heads up is not ok.

Aside from the 2 smaller issues, we would definetly stay @ royal palms again.

Best view in gulf shores for sure.

It was amazing! We've never stayed in a condo before and it turned out to be a great experience. The condo was beautiful and had fantastic views of the ocean. It was quiet and very clean. The staff (pool people and security guards were all we saw) were very courteous and kind. We met another tenant who owns a condo and she was friendly and sweet as well. The price was comparable to a hotel stay, yet the experience was much, much better. Having your own kitchen, washer and dryer and all the amenities was such a blessing! I would highly recommend it. One thing I might suggest is to check the temperature on the water heater. It certainly became hot enough to scald...fine for adults who can react, but worrisome for kids. Other than that (and the loud bathroom vent in the master) it was absolutely perfect.

Manager's Response

We're so glad your first condo vacation was such a positive one. A condo, with its fully-equipped kitchen and washer and dryer, is certainly the way to go. Royal Palms in particular has an outstanding view. Call us when you're ready to repeat the experience!

This unit had the best location of any we have stayed in at Gulf Shores. The view was incredible - overlooking the state park and not having to look at another condo. The bedrooms were good size and each had a door to the balcony. The only negative was that the unit was darker than we would have liked. We were expecting beachy furniture, not heavy dark wood in the living area and a jungle theme in the bedroom.

BEAUTIFUL VIEW FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY!

This condo is absolutely amazing. The view from the balcony was so great that we would have stayed there the whole vacation. We could even see dolphins from it. We went in August so there were quite a few jelly fish in the water, but it they were easily spotted. The condo is very spacious as well and we felt like we had a lot of privacy being next to the state park. We will definitely be staying here again.

I have never rented a condo rental any better than this. We had so many activities planned while at the beach. However, we simply could not pull ourselves away from that balcony. We did manage to pull ourselves away for one day to bike ride the backcountry trail of the state park. Absolutely the best paved bike trail ever. We will definitely be back and promise ourselves to do the zip line across the street on our next visit. We just could not leave the balcony on this visit.

Still a great view. Cleaning still a problem as there was dust and dirt on top of the refrigerator. The bed in the first room needs to be replaced as it is worn out. Make sure when you stay here to always put the wooden bar in the sliding doors as it will not properly lock. Nice to see some new balcony furniture! Overall a great place to stay and Bender staff is really great to work with!

We will definitely stay here again and recommend this property to anyone that wants a large balcony with a view with 2 nice bedrooms and 2 1/2 baths. Indoor/outdoor pool and on the quiet end of the beach. Very relaxing.

Bender is wonderful when we call with a concern! Elevators not dependable on windy days--lots of windy days on the beach! This unit is spacious and we enjoyed our stay; however, the condo is in need of some TLC: fresh paint job--banged up walls and chipped paint throughout; one bedroom needs work on ceiling; annoyingly automatic loud fans in baths; slippery tubs, no screens on sliding doors, disgustingly rusty air return, draws don't work in one bedroom.

We really enjoyed our stay during October, 2012. Some of the outdoor furniture had been replaced and was very comfortable. The shower doors kept going off track and that could be a real issue if a young or elderly person had a problem with them, since they are made of glass and are very heavy. They might consider replacing them with a shower curtain, it would certainly be safer. The folks at Bender Realty were always very helpful, would definitely recommend them. Overall, our stay was wonderful and we would definitely go back.

We've stayed at this location for a number of years because it has great view from the balcony. They are making improvements to the unit but some of them are long overdue. The cleaning still is an issue simply because it does not get cleaned like it should. You can find dust build up on the walls and ceiling fans,dirt around the bathtub which could be cleaned with some bathroom cleaner and if they would look around the tops of the bathtub they would see sunflower seeds where someone decided to put there after they were done with them.The floors are just plain dirty.Still a good location to stay for the view.

Loved the location, the view, and we just felt like we were at home. We also love working through Bender Realty, they are so nice. I just referred a patient from our office to give them a call for reservations at The Royal Palms. Oh and also I left my luggage on the elevator (one piece) and the security office was fast to call and let me know they found it. I highly reccomend the condos and Bender Realty!!!!!

What an amazing condo with an amazing view. We were a little worried because some of the previous reviews had stated that it was not clean. They have changed cleaning companies and it was spotless. Bender Reality was great, fast and efficient. The condo is the last one before the state park so it was much less crowed on our end. If you are coming to cook, you will need to bring a few things like a cutting board.

We enjoyed our stay overall, anyway we were not able to go in the gulf because of the oil. The condo was great, but I would suggest taking inventory of the kitchen. It is lacking several basic things, and also some repairs are a little overdue. The utensil drawer is completely broken in the kitchen and actually ended up falling on my daughter's foot. In the bathroom, also, the drawer pulls need repair. We love Gulf Shores, and love this condo, and had a great time!
