Royal Palms 1306 - Gulf Front - Penthouse Level

Iffy

Condo was fine, but the weather was not so much. - (Mar 2024 - VRBO)

Great place

Overall really good! There were a few items: 1) curtain needed in master. The lights are really bright on the building and shine through the window. 2.) toilets both ran. Had to jiggle them to get them to shut off 3.) shower in master. Faucet is weird trying to turn off and on. 4.) no ladder on the bunk. Makes trying to climb into the top bunk almost impossible for younger kids. Had to put them on the couch. 5.) Food left over in the freezer from the previous guest. All minor issues. Easy fixes. Overall it was really good. The decor was nice. View was good. Wasn't even bad being on the 13th floor. - (Oct 2023 - VRBO)

Great place.

It was just as described!

Everything was great! The only thing I would say to add/change is the bunk beds need a ladder or something to get on the top bunk and the outlet on the under the countertop in kitchen won't hold your charger very well. Other than that everything was great and I would stay again - (Jul 2023 - VRBO)

Family Getaway

My husband and I took our 4 boys. We come every year but this was our first time with just us as a family. We thought the condo was perfect for our family! Location was close to our favorite restaurants and great shopping! We had a great time. - (Jul 2023 - VRBO)

Beautiful view of the gulf!

Beautiful view of the gulf! A comfortable place for 2 adults and 2 young children. This part of the beach was perfect for a family. - (Jun 2023 - VRBO)

Gulf shores

We thoroughly enjoyed our trip and what an amazing location and experience. I was surprised to see that there was no comforter. Only two sheets with a microfiber blanket wedged in between. The dishes we tried to use were dirty in the cabinets. Other than that a great experience and perfect location. 
 
Gulfsands Reply: Hi Patrick, thanks for the great review! We use triple sheeting on our beds so each guests will have a guaranteed clean bed: two flat sheets surrounding a blanket. Sorry to hear the guests prior left dirty dishes in the cabinets. We hope to have you back again soon to turn your 4-star into a 5-star experience. - (Jun 2023 - VRBO)

Why was there a ladder in the hallway?

When we entered the first thing we noticed was a big ladder and paint cans in the hallway. That set a wary tone of the place. The view from the balcony was nice but the patio furniture left a lot to be desired. Other wise it was a nice stay. The ocean was gorgeous, weather was nice and we were within walking distance of a decent coffee shop and a great restaurant

Location is excellent. Unit needs maintenance

Location was beautiful. Right on the beach. However, the unit needs updating and maintenance. The bedroom TV has no service. The bedroom bath shower had no hot water. And the ice maker in the freezer does not work. Too expensive for those things to NOT work. 
 
Gulfsands reply: Hi Patrick, thanks for letting us know. We were unaware of any of those items mentioned in your comments. Please contact us while you are here so those items can be addressed which will increase your overall experience. We hate we missed the mark but hope to see you back again soon to change your 3-star into a 5-star experience.

Great location

Fantastic location not overly crowded super short walk to the beach. Check in and out was super easy. Very spacious for our family of three. The bathrooms were great size and very clean the balcony was also a great size. It's been the best place we've stayed in the 3 yrs of coming here as a family. I did give cleanliness 1 star because the sheets were stained/ or dirty. The comforter in the main bedroom hadn't been washed and had a huge white place on it. Fortunately there was an extra blanket in the closet that we used instead. We checked in on Saturday evening so we couldn't call and tell them about the dirty sheets and comforter until Monday. The lady who normally cleans said she had been sick and had someone else doing it so I'm sure it was overlooked. She brought sheets but no replacement comforter. Also the eyes of the stove in the kitchen still had pasta and various food on them which I showed the cleaning person when she brought us more sheets. My kiddo absolutely loved the bunk bed set up. Would stay here again because like I said the normal cleaning lady had been sick and that's completely out of her control so I'm sure it's not the norm. 
 
Gulfsands reply: Hi Stephanie, thanks for your review. As our housekeeper let you know, she was sick and had to have someone fill in for her. The normal bedding setup is strictly triple sheeting. The quilt is folded at the end of the bed for aesthetic. The triple sheeting is what you find at a hotel and, after covid, we transitioned to triple sheeting. You'll find a clean bed at every check-in! The stove top drip pans have been replaced. We hope to see you again soon! - (Aug 2022 - VRBO)

Perfect for a weekend gateway

Perfect for me and me son to enjoy a weekend gateway. Only complaint I have is that the hallway restroom toilet doesn't flush as well as the bedroom restroom. Other than that.it was clean, the views were beautiful and it was just what we were looking for. - (Jul 2022 - VRBO)
