Beautiful well maintained property. Only negative for us was dealing with the pool fob. For a couple you should provide 2. Very much a pain in the rear

Gulf shores 2025

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our room was very nice. Love the location and view from 8th floor was beautiful but Doors to patio were very hard to slide open. Loved that there were two elevators and only 4 units per floor. Hardly ever had to wait for the elevator. Wish there was an easier way to transport chairs, coolers, etc to the beach except by going thru the pool area but do understand the reason (privacy from outside visitors not staying there). Overall very pleased.

Nice place with great view and easy access to the beach. There was a piece of tape over the toaster with “fire hazard” written on it. Odd that no one thought to either replace or just remove it. The only reason I don’t give 5 stars is that the pool is apparently a smoking area, and any time someone smoked we had to close the balcony because the smoke would pour into the condo.

Fine Accomodation

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Entry was seamless. All prior instructions were clear and accurate. Condo was clean and ready for the stay. The two La-Z-Boy rocker recliners were the best seating we've enjoyed in any stay. The Bender property managers were friendly, stayed in touch and responded breathtakingly fast with the only issue we encountered (not their fault or the Gulf Towers). Access to parking, pool and beach was outstanding. Would work with Bender again in the future.

Well maintained and very convenient with teenagers being close to The Hangout. Also very secure if you come with small children. You have to have a key to get to the pool and to access the beach.

Great view!

Location was awesome and view was beautiful! Kitchen cabinets need to be scrubbed down and we were short on pillow cases. I had to buy some and left them there. But we would stay there again!

Great Place

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My husband and I stayed at this condo for several years and we love it! It is decorated very nicely with a well stock kitchen and updated appliances. The condo is located directly on the beachfront giving it a spectacular view from sunrise to sunset. We particularly like the enclosed balcony with the dining table and eat most of our meals there while enjoying the view.There are no cons to this unit. The Bender Realty staff is wonderful. There are friendly helpful and welcoming when we return each year. They are knowledgeable of the condo units and a tremendous help when needed. Keep in mind that Gulf Tower has a one-car limit, which is strictly enforced. Bender reality Office is just a short walk down the road and they offer to park for the extra car, which is very much a bonus.

Great Views/Great Condo/Great Vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This unit is cozy, very comfortable and decorated in a beach theme. Bender Realty was wonderful to work with and you couldn’t ask for a better location and condo layout. We particularly enjoyed the master bedroom off the balcony, as we were able fall asleep to the sound of the waves and waking up to beautiful sunrises. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we could ask for. Although the condo is a little dated we found it to be very comfortable and inviting. The ceramic (wood pattern) floors are beautiful, however very hard on the feet. After a week, both my husband and I had sore feet. It would be nice to have some area rugs both in the living room and bedroom. The pool is clean and nice to have so close to the elevators. The beach is beautiful with rentable chairs/umbrellas. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed staying in this condo and will be back again! PROS: Beautiful location, great beach and comfortable condo. CONS: The ceramic tile floors are very hard on the feet. Although the floor was well swept when we arrived, it was still very dirty. Five minutes walking without our shoes, our white socks were black. Other than the floor, everything else was clean. Unfortunately this unit does not have Internet. You have to go to the clubroom to get it.

Relaxing and Clean!!

This was our first time staying at the Gulf shores and let me tell you it did not disappoint.. It was a super cute condo just the right size for us and an awesome beach view!! The sunrises from the balcony were breathtaking and all shops and restaurants were all within a close reach. Room was clean and neat with access to beach. We will definitely be back..
