GULF FRONT CONDO - Spectacular Views - Sunrises & Sunsets - BOOK 2025 NOW!!!

Island Royale is an upscale beachfront condominium that was built in 2002. It is located directly on the beach in the heart of Gulf Shores on West Beach Boulevard. Is is a two-tone gray building with white trim and a diamond shape on the front. The condo unit is located on the FIFTH FLOOR. There is absolutely no smoking in the unit or on the balcony. Also, no pets, except by owners, are allowed. It has an oversized bubble-shaped balcony, which can be accessed from both the living area and the master bedroom. The condo has a KEYPAD entry so you do not have to keep up with keys.

The balcony has one round table, four chairs, and a cushioned lounge chair with a side table. Black-out drapes cover both sets of windows and doors. You can sleep late or open the drapes and watch the sun rise. The condo has almost 1,100 square feet with nine-foot ceilings, seven-foot doors, crown molding, granite countertops in the kitchen, and corian countertops in the bathrooms.

The condo has been completely repainted, and 20-inch porcelain tile has been installed throughout the condo. The condo is not in front of an elevator so noise is not a problem.

The living area includes a new sofa that opens into a queen-sized bed, an oversized chair, a recliner, 40-inch flat screen TV, DVD player, and CD stereo sound system. Sit on the sofa and look at the Gulf of Mexico from this fifth-floor condo or go on the balcony and watch the dolphins playing in the water. You might get lucky and see the BLUE ANGELS fly down the beach.

The master bedroom has a king-sized bed, a large dresser, 40-inch flat screen TV and blue-ray player in an armoire, two nightstands, a private full-sized bathroom, and doors leading to the balcony with a view of the Gulf. The guest bedroom has two twin beds, a large dresser, nightstand, 32-inch flat screen TV, and a connecting full-sized bathroom, which also opens to the living area. Look out the window in the guest bedroom and see the lagoon on the north side. Both bedrooms have great closet and drawer space.
,
The dining area has a glass top table which seats six and a granite bar which seats three. The kitchen is complete with every large and small appliance you will need: side-by-side refrigerator with ice and water in the door, glass top stove, microwave, dishwasher, garbage disposal, coffeepot, Keurig, blender, toaster, mixer, and electric can opener.

A wide variety of pots, pans, dishes, glassware, and other utensils are available. The kitchen has a separate pantry with lots of shelf space and even a place to put the garbage can. Also, the condo has a separate laundry room with a full-sized washer and dryer, ironing board, and iron. All linens and towels are provided. There is no daily maid service.

DIRECTIONS: From Interstate 10, take Highway 59 south. When you reach the beach, turn right on Highway 182 (West Beach Boulevard). Go approximately three-fourths of a mile, and Island Royale is on the left on the beautiful white beaches of Gulf Shores, just across the street from Ike's Beach Rental Service which is on the right.

The modern two-tone gray building has a white diamond shape on the front and an upper level parking area. You may park anywhere that is not numbered. Carts are available in the elevator area lobbies on the ground and second floors for an easy move in. Have a great vacation!! Once you get here, you will not want to leave, but you will want to come back again and again and again!!!

Nice beach view
Nice little condo on the Gulf! This is a middle unit in a nice quiet complex. Two bathrooms came in handy. Not a lot of “extras” but it had the basics with a nice bubble shaped balcony right on the water. Pool area looked nice, but we never used it as we spent every day in the ocean! The parking was easy and the elevators were never over crowded. Bring your own blow dryer, shampoo and laundry detergent.

Our seven night stay was fantastic even though the weather didn’t cooperate for several days! Relaxing in this beautiful residence made it all worthwhile. The fifth floor views are amazing! And, the proximity of the beach is awesome! Debra is the best host/owner! I promise you will not be disappointed in renting this condo! We will definitely be back!

Gulf-front condo for family of 4.
This condo was perfect for our family of 4. It was clean and up to date. Kitchen was well stocked with dishes/pans, small/large appliances, and utencils. Everything worked as it should. The view of the beach was great, and having part of the pool indoors was a big plus on a rainy day. Will try to book this unit again in the future.

This is the second time we've stayed at this condo and I can't say enough good things about it. It's always clean, everything works, new appliances, and the bed is so, so comfortable. This place feels like home. The building overall is well maintained and just a great place. This is just the perfect condo for us.
