Island Royale P 406

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Less than a mile west of the main Gulf Shores Public Beach entrance and rising high above the Gulf of Mexico is Island Royale.

Featuring a swim-through indoor/outdoor pool, indoor and outdoor hot tubs, steam room and expansive beachfront, Island Royale is a place that encourages you to stay outdoors and take full advantage of the beautiful coastal sunshine.

Once in your condo, be sure to spend time lounging on your private balcony watching the sun rise and set peacefully over the Gulf. Rest and relax in comfort and style in your living area as you reconnect with family and friends. Your kitchen is fully equipped to prepare every meal.

Thanks to the condo's proximity to numerous restaurants (seafood, burgers, steaks, spicy Cajun cuisine and more!), save time in the kitchen and go out to eat!

After dinner, head up Hwy. 59 to Pirate's Island or The Track for an evening of miniature golf, thrilling amusement park rides and arcade fun. Or, check out some of the beach boutiques just north of the beach. Shop for that swimsuit you've been wanting at one of the giant beach stores nearby. Live entertainment can be found any time of year at places like the iconic Hangout Restaurant of Hangout Music Festival fame. Head out to the courtyard for a bubble party or to play silly games.

Your condo a few minutes' drive from Gulf State Park, where you'll find a variety of fun activities such as a nature center, a beach pavilion, a giant fishing pier that juts 1,500+ feet out into the Gulf, backcountry trails and so much more.

When you want a relaxing beach vacation that puts you near the fun of Gulf Shores' beach entertainment district, choose Island Royale. You'll be glad you did.

Great beach view

Great location with covered personal parking space. Beautiful view with easy access to the beach. Condo is overly cluttered. Sleeper sofa can't be used due to large coffee table and planter. Master bedroom needs pull chains added to ceiling fan. It's only on if the light is on.

Weekend trip with family

We had four in our party and stayed for the weekend. The location, view and size of the condo are fantastic. It could just use some major modernization. The front door lock needs to be reinforced (chain lock is broken) and the bunk beds are wobbly (we ended up not using them at all). The check in/out process and communication were great. I would consider staying here again if it was priced lower than more modern units of comparable size and location.

Beautiful Views! Rusty Tubs Awful

The views were outstanding! We liked the new kitchen and flooring - beautiful! The bathrooms were awful: rust on the tubs where white enamel should be and the shower curtain rod full of rust in two bathrooms. One bathroom sink was cracked in 3 places. Tubs, shower curtain rods and bathroom sinks need to be replaced. We felt duped by the photos. Very DISAPPOINTED and will not stay at a Vasaca Rental again.

Unit could use some improvements. Great location.

This is the 2nd unit we have stayed at at island royale after the 1st being excellent. This one was just much more outdated and not as kept up. Location was excellent as expected, easy check in process. And was even given the option to check out later in the day. Which was awesome. But as far as this exact unit. The furniture is outdated and cluttered. We were constantly moving chairs to get through out rooms. In the master bedroom there was barely enough room to walk between tv chest and bed. Tv was tiny but atleast it had one. In queen guest room there wasnt one at all. It may say that but ill always assume. So thats on me. Master shower was loud and screechy and dryer would randomly make loud noises. Room wasnt cleaned completely upon arrival but i made it aware and was quickly responded back to with and offer to send someone to clean. We had 2 adults, and 3 kids. 16, 12, and 10.

Strong Four Star

The property was clean, many places to sit, beds were very comfortable, and a quiet atmosphere. Almost a Five Rating. The walk-in shower was a pleasant surprise, but needs a little attention. Shower drain cover is loose and the shower door is difficult to open or close. Also a recliner and a larger T V in the Family Room would be enjoyed by many. Plan to visit soon and will most likely try to book this condo.

The View Makes This Place!

We rented this unit for 3 weeks in December of 2023/January 2024. 2 adults stayed the entire 3 weeks. 4 adults stayed for 5 days. These 5 days were tight with 6 adults. When there were only 2 people, the spacing was fine. There are some really great things about this unit and some things that could use some changes. We loved the location, view, balcony, the new appliances, the fact that there were 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, and the pool and hot tub. The two larger beds were very comfortable. Some things that could use improvement: the couches were really hard to get out of (old), the accessories were really dusty (especially the large, unnecessary plant), the lighting was not great, and the glass tables were not user friendly. The two twin beds were extremely uncomfortable and were not suitable for adults to sleep on. Overall, we would reccomend this place to any new visitor to Gulf Shores. It was easy to get in and out of, we felt very safe, and the view was amazing!!!

Very disappointed

We love the location of the complex but this unit needs attention and improvements. The master shower makes a loud whistling noise, the transition from the hallway to small bedroom had no threshold and my granddaughter cut her foot on it. The light is this bedroom overhead didn’t work, the doorknobs on most doors were loose, several lamps had bulbs that were shot, the kitchen doesn’t have cookware to use (no skillet), the master bedroom mattress and the queen bed mattress worn out, no fitted sheets for bedding in any room and the sofa and loveseat were uncomfortable. The patio furniture was broken or worn out also. I will say the view was fabulous from the balcony. The pools were well maintained and beach access great. I contacted Vacasa the morning after we arrived and feel like the service and response was subpar. I thought they would at least send someone to provide lightbulbs and repair the light in the children’s room. I got no response back. My family and I had an enjoyable trip despite the issues.

This property was in a great location. But the Cleaning took away from that. Soon as we entered the property the urine smell was a bit over baring I had to go bye plug ins, and bleach.The sofas need to be cleaned. And the carpet was a disgrace. Property needs upgrade. We made the best of it with family we haven’t seen in a while.
