About this property
**New Listing** Island Royale Beach Front Penthouse on 15th Floor
Summary:
Gulf-front penthouse with breathtaking 15th-floor views, a private balcony, and direct beach access. Walk to dining, enjoy uncrowded shores, and relax in a spacious 3BR/3BA layout with en-suite baths. Resort amenities include indoor/outdoor pools, hot tubs, sauna, and more. Reserved covered parking just steps from the beach makes every day effortless. Perfect for families seeking comfort, convenience, and coastal beauty.
The Space:
Perched high above the shoreline, this Gulf-front penthouse offers a perspective that feels both expansive and deeply peaceful where the breeze is softer, the views stretch endlessly, and each day unfolds at a gentler pace. From the moment you arrive, the coast welcomes you in with effortless ease. There are no roads to cross and no distractions along the way, just a short, simple walk that leads you straight onto the sugar-white sands of the Gulf, where the sound of the waves and the warmth of the sun settle you instantly into vacation mode.
Step out onto your private corner balcony on the 15th floor, where the emerald waters meet an open horizon in every direction. Mornings arrive quietly here, with soft light spilling across the Gulf as you sip your coffee, and evenings linger just a little longer as the sky turns to shades of gold and blush. It’s the kind of place where time slows down naturally, inviting you to stay a little longer, breathe a little deeper, and take it all in.
Perfectly located just under a mile from the heart of Gulf Shores, you’ll find yourself within easy walking distance, whether along the shoreline or sidewalk, to local favorites like The Hangout, Bahama Bob’s, and the Pink Pony Pub. And just across the street, Pier 33 offers convenient access to anything you might need, from beach-day essentials to a quick snack between outings.
What truly sets this experience apart is the space, both above and along the shore. As a smaller, more intimate Gulf-front building, Island Royale offers a quieter stretch of beach with fewer crowds and more room to relax. Here, the sand feels wider, the atmosphere calmer, and the days unfold without rush, just as they should along the coast. 💛

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!

Cindy is fantastic, and so is her condo!
Cindy may be the most responsive host I’ve ever stayed with. Her communication was kind and clear, and she responded quickly both before and during the trip to our questions. The condo is beautiful! It may be the most well-stocked condo we’ve ever stayed in in terms of toiletries, towels, kitchen items, and extra pillows/blankets. The king bedroom was perfect for a rented crib. We loved that each room had its own bathroom. Her east-end penthouse was perfect for catching the sunrise. The kiddie pool was heated and we loved the indoor/outdoor pool space, too. The unit is super close to the boardwalk and Oyster House and all the staple stores like Alvin’s and Shrimp Basket. Truly, can’t say enough good things. It was a great trip and a great space with a great host!

Totally enjoyed the condo. 15th floor balcony was my favorite spot all week. Literally just steps from the beach. Even cooking for a family of 7 was a pleasure with the ocean views. Could not have asked for anything better. Except maybe a heated pool. It was a bit chilly in the shade.
