Great view. Rained all but 1 day but we still had a nice stay. I messaged owner a question about the condo, they answered within a few hours. Had enough supplies for our stay. Will definitely return.
6 / 10Average·Jul 2025
We recently stayed at this Royal Palms property. The location was excellent— conveniently situated on the beach, making it ideal for a relaxing getaway. Communication with the owners was adequate and timely when needed.However, we were disappointed with the cleanliness of the unit. It was clear the condo had not been thoroughly cleaned. There was visible dirt throughout, and the floors and surfaces were covered in hair and debris. The sheets had hair on them, there was a packaging wrapper and dice (?) on the bedroom floor (no way could the room have been swept), there was what appeared to either be vomit or feces on the shower curtain, stains on quilts provided, and paint coming off the walls and baseboards. We wiped down the bunk bed ladder for our little ones and the wipe was black. We ended up putting them in the king bed with us all week once we saw whatever was smeared along the bunk wall as well. Rugs need replaced. Toilet seats didn’t seem to fit correctly. You sat on part seat/part bowl. Shower pressure was nonexistent, we ended up washing our hair in the kitchen sink to remove shampoo. While we appreciated the setting and ease of communication, the lack of cleanliness significantly impacted our overall experience. We hope these issues are addressed moving forward, as the property has great potential with better maintenance.
