Airbnb and Vrbo have service fees that add 12–15% to your price. We don't have service fees. Book direct with us to begin saving — the money you save can go to eating out, shopping, parasailing or the amusement parks.
A 40% down payment is taken when you book and is applied to your rent (35% at Tropic Isles 804). The balance is due 21 days before arrival. A 16% lodging tax applies, plus each condo's cleaning fee and, at most units, a $29 admin fee.
More than 60 days before arrival: 100% of the down payment refunded, less a $100 cancellation fee. 30–59 days: 50% of the down payment refunded. 7–30 days: 50% of the full rental paid or $300, whichever is higher. 2–7 days: 25% of the full rental paid. Within the last 48 hours: no refund.
No. We cannot allow pets at any of our condos.
No. All of our condos are strictly non-smoking; at Royal Palms that means no smoking inside the condo or on the balcony and no vaping indoors or outdoors.
Yes. You must be 24 or older to rent, and if the group is all adults, each adult must be 24 or older.
About 10 days before arrival Randy emails you a digital guide with all of your instructions along with many general-interest items for your stay. Royal Palms 702 uses self check-in with a keypad door code; your guide will tell you how check-in works at the other condos.
Royal Palms 702 and Tropic Isles 804 include one parking pass in the cleaning fee (a second pass is $65 at Royal Palms from the guard shack, $30 at Tropic Isles). Regatta 103A has a $42 parking pass good for the whole stay. Summer House West and Gentle Winds include parking: Summer House West B107 has one space for one vehicle with no overflow parking, B202 has covered parking for two, and at Gentle Winds you park directly under the condo.
Royal Palms, Tropic Isles and Regatta are right on the beach — walk out the back and you are there. Gentle Winds is directly across the street with a crossing light on the corner: you are standing on the beach 3 minutes after walking out the front door. Summer House West has its own deeded beach access about 30 yards east of the complex entrance, directly across the street.
No. Each condo has seasonal rates with a minimum stay, from a low in the slow winter months to a peak in summer. Rates for special events in Gulf Shores — the Hangout / Sand in My Boots Festival, the Shrimp Festival, holidays and holiday weekends — are higher than the generic rates. Winter months offer monthly rates at most condos.
Yes to kitchens and wifi: every condo has a fully outfitted kitchen so you will not have to bring your kitchen from home, plus free wifi. Most condos have a washer/dryer in the unit (Royal Palms, Tropic Isles, both Summer House West units and Regatta); Gentle Winds A1 has a laundry room on site. Plenty of linens and towels are provided.
Yes — rates are quoted in US dollars, and the site shows estimates in other currencies. The rate you pay may vary with the exchange rate at the time of payment.
