Cindy Lou's Beachfront Penthouse - 15th Floor East Corner Condo in Island Royale

1. Beach/Gulf Front! Nothing separates you from the Gulf of Mexico other than a short walk on sugar white sand!

2. Balcony and Views! The private and spacious (311 square feet) penthouse balcony is on the 15th floor (the second from the top) and on the east corner of the building. The unobstructed views of the Gulf’s emerald green water and white sand beaches are to die for!! The sunrises and sunsets are will take your breath away! (Please view my photos!)

3. Location! The condo is located 0.8 miles from downtown Gulf Shores, making it an easy walk (along the street or beach) to restaurants like The Hangout, Bahama Bob’s and The Pink Pony Pub. Pier 33 (a small carryout/grocery store) is just across the street.

4. Beach! Our beach is huge, clean and sugar white! Unlike other larger condo complexes where guests crowd the beach, Island Royale is a smaller but newer building which allows for a comfortable beach population! Set up your beach camp and have plenty of room to play!

5. Condo Layout! My family friendly 3 bedroom, 3 bath condo sleeps 8 and has plenty of room for everyone to spread out and have their own space. Each bedroom has an attached bath for each guest’s privacy. There is a Smart TV in each bedroom and in the living room. The dining area seats 9. If you have an extended family and you need more space, check out my other unit that’s just 5 floors beneath this unit (VRBO 36703). It will sleep 8 people too, so that gives a total of 16 family and friends all located in the same building and on the same beach!!

6. Convenient Beach Gear Storage: No need to lug your beach gear for miles after your day in the sun. Unit P201 has a reserved parking space 15 feet from the entrance to the beach. Simply walk off the beach and drop your heavy beach gear in the back of your vehicle. Done! (Your second vehicle may park in any space not marked reserved.)

7. Clean! How many units have you had to clean when you arrived to begin your vacation? Not here!! My unit is cleaned by a wonderful cleaning company who treat my unit as if it were their own home. They do not cut corners, they clean ‘em!!

8. Updated! All three bathrooms were remodeled in 2019! The master bath now has a large walk-in shower with grab bars. There are new vanity cabinets, counter tops, mirrors and fixtures in each bath. The remodel was a big project but so worth it! New kitchen cabinets and a new water heater were installed in early 2019.

9. Extra Features! There is a fabulous indoor/outdoor swim through heated pool and indoor and outdoor hot tubs. A kiddie pool/splash pad was constructed in 2022. The Island Royale building has 4 outdoor charcoal grills, a fitness center, and sauna and steam room and upgraded Wi-Fi!

10. Owner Operated! I own my unit and I manage it. I do not use a hard to reach management company. You may call me 24/7 and I will either pick up my phone or return your call within minutes. If you have any issues, I will address them immediately!! Your vacation is very important to me and I want to make it the best ever! My goal, for my guests, is to have such a positive experience they want to make my condo and Gulf Shores part of their family tradition year after year!

Family vacation

We had a wonderful stay! The location was absolutely perfect—peaceful, relaxing, and surrounded by beautiful scenery. It truly felt like a getaway, and we enjoyed every minute of the natural beauty and quiet setting.The home was cozy and comfortable, and overall we had a great experience. A few small things could be improved for future guests: the shower head in the master bath could use an upgrade, and the outlets in that bathroom were a bit loose, which made it hard to keep things plugged in. The dryer took a couple of cycles to fully dry clothes, and I do wish the kitchen water got a bit hotter for washing dishes.That said, these were minor inconveniences and didn’t take away from the overall experience. I would definitely come back and recommend it to others looking for a peaceful retreat with stunning surroundings!

Family Vacay!

Everything about this property was wonderful. It was right on the beach in the heart of Gulf Shores. The breezes on the deck made it tolerable to be outside at almost all times despite record heat eat. We enjoyed the proximity to the restaurants in both Gulf Shores and Orange Beach. We could not have been happier with our stay.
