Perfect
The condo was just as it looked like in the listing. Clean and well maintained. Kitchen and bathroom were well stocked, we just needed our food, drink, and personal hygiene items. The view was spectacular, we were on the eleventh floor, so to us it wasn’t too high, or too low, it was perfect. Walking distance to souvenir shopping, grocery shopping, and restaurants. Elevator, covered parking available, and had security close by. (Shoutout to Joe!) Very short walk to the beach from the ground level. The owner was easy to get ahold of to answer any questions. It was a great getaway and I will definitely be contacting our hosts for a return visit to the condo.

Great condo!
This is a beautifully decorated condo, with comfortable furniture and beds. Kitchen is well stocked and we had everything we needed. We also appreciated the online guidebook for instructions and recommendations. Location was good and very convenient. We enjoyed our stay very much and definitely plan on booking again next time we go to the beach.

Thanksgiving getaway
My husband and I decided to spend our first Thanksgiving as truly empty nesters at the beach. This was the absolute perfect location and space for just the two of us! The 11th floor looking out directly over the beach was the perfect view! The fireplace was awesome! There were plenty of towels! If/when we get away just the two of us (or even with another couple) we will definitely stay here again!

This two week stay in Coastal Retreat, Island Royale 1102, was as exciting as expected after staying 10 days last year.
We thoroughly enjoy the location and the beach decor in this condo. Both the location on the beach, and the awesome views from the large, well furnished deck are perfect. The furnishings throughout are well coordinated and the fireplace adds to the ambiance of the large living space. The kitchen is equipped better than any we have visited, and the large walk-in master shower is wonderful. We will be back. Thanks for making the reservation process so easy, and for checking on things periodically, without being intrusive.

Loved the condo!
My family just stayed for 4 nights and we really enjoyed it. The condo was just what we wanted . . . right on the beach and it was super clean and had everything we needed. The view was unbelievable! We will definitely be back and would also consider staying in one of their other condos too just to have a change of scenery. We would highly recommend McGee Rentals!

Needed some time to get away and 1102 Island Royale answered the call perfectly. Clean and accurately described in listing. Good location and easy access to restaurants, shops and most importantly, the beach 😎🌴🌞!! Although the family wasn’t with us in this trip, it’s a good soot for all ages. Condo host stayed in touch regularly throughout the planning process as well as during our stay. Highly recommended.

We only came for one night and were passing through for a girl's shopping trip. Decided to bring the kiddos. Well, my favorite part was the decor and the balcony. Oceanside views and a fireplace. A slice of paradise. Hope I catch the same unit next year‼️ They thought of everything you needed even games for the kids.

About the host

Hosted by Rebekah McGee

Host profile image
My name is Rebekah McGee, my husband Sean and I have been married 20+ years. We reside in New Iberia Louisiana (Cajun Country) with our Brittany Spaniel named Indy. We have a son Nicholas who lives in Lafayette where he attends college and we also have a daughter Gabrielle who lives in Baton Rouge with our son in law Michael and our grand pup Charlie, their miniature dachshund. I own a Real Estate Brokerage and my husband Sean is a general contractor.
We also own several rent homes and purchased this condo as our first beach vacation rentals in Gulf Shores Alabama! We have always taken pride in our rent homes, going above and beyond making sure they are maintained and in pristine condition. We continue to offer the same level of quality and Southern hospitality to our guests at our beach homes!
When I was a little girl, I spent many years vacationing with my family at my Aunt’s beach condo. Such great memories were made there! There’s something about the beach that draws me in. The soft rhythm of the waves crashing... the warm feel of the sand between my toes. I can breathe better at the beach! I used to dream about owning a condo at the beach and waking up every day to the sound of the waves.
My husband Sean shares that same love of the beach. We finally decided to turn our dreams into a reality! We purchased our first Beach Vacation rentals in Gulf Shores Alabama!
Although we don’t live in Gulf Shores full time, we still get to enjoy our condos when they are not rented! We also get to share them with others and hear stories about their wonderful family vacations and the quality time they get to spend with their loved ones! To us that’s the best of both worlds....creating our happy place and sharing it with others! We would love to help you and your family plan your next beach vacation!

Why they chose this property

We originally thought we wanted to purchase a condo in Orange Beach because it was closer to Florida... That was until we began shopping and we stayed at a few condos on that end. The beaches were crowded. The streets were busy, and it just didn't feel right. Then we drove down to Gulf Shores. It is truly a little Beach Town! We fell in love with the area. The parks and recreation areas are amazing, the sidewalks were wider, folks were walking and riding bikes. This area was more my style. The Island Royale complex is smaller with less condo units in the building, but it still offered the same amenities as the larger complexes. Indoor and outdoor pools, fitness room, steam room and sauna, and an outdoor grilling area. The thing I really noticed was how clean the entrances and walkways were. The maintenance department does a really good job of keeping things looking and smelling nice! Then we walked out onto the balcony. That's what did it for me! The spacious curved balcony offered a panoramic view just in time for the sunset! Still my favorite place to end the day!!!

What makes this property unique

Because there are less condos in this complex it means you will have less people to share the beach with! It's also a very short walk to the water's edge. That means you have less walking through the sand with you beach chairs and umbrellas to stick your toes in the sand and start relaxing!
