    a guest from Columbus, Ms recommends this vacation rental

    Very much enjoyed laying out on the wrap around balcony! Private, quiet, plenty of room. Could hear the waves, feel ocean breeze and see people walking on the beach. Fabulous for those that do not want to walk down to the beach & carry chairs, coolers, etc! Will stay in Unit 1407 again! As far as clean, the unit floors were not very clean - there was dust on the bedroom furniture. Did not smell fresh.

    Good esxperience but cant get over the fact that the unit had no internet. Wish I had realized that other units did. The website said internet, but was not specific or I just didnt see it. It was frustrating and just aggravated me.

    Gayla F from Huntsville, AL recommends this vacation rental

    Overall, the condo we rented was in good condition. The ceiling fan in the bedroom is in need of repair as well as the stoppers for the bathroom sinks. The ceiling fan light would not turn off so we had to unscrew light bulbs to run the fan as we slept. It made noise and was disruptive. This should be replaced. Other than that, the unit was fine.

    Robert K from Cincinnati, Ohio recommends this vacation rental

    The view was great. The inside was small and very crowded with a lot of furniture. Very cramped. The outdoor balcony was fabulous but not clean. There were cigarette butts and beers cans in the flower pots. And no internet access. The furnace filter was clogged. All in all it was okay. But it could be better cleaned. It would also be a lot roomer if they removed some furniture.

    Karen C from Tullahoma, TN recommends this vacation rental

    loved our stay overall. very disappointed that the heater in the hot tub wasnt working since it was too cold for the outside pool and even the indoor pool wasnt warm enough. out of the 8 light fixtures in the condo, needed 4 light bulbs - picked them up at the Bender Realty office without any problems. simply loved Betty Daniels - she was most pleasant to work with and made us wanta return in the future. whether the same condo or not wont matter, but definitely will contact Bender Realty again.

    Lisa L from Ada, MI recommends this vacation rental

    This was our 10th year visiting Gulf Shores for spring break so we obviously love it.

    The only negative things would be that there were no spare light bulbs. One bulb in the bedroom (side table) light was just missing and the other burned out. Also there is only one table lamp in the main living area so unless you want to be blinded by the ceiling fan light there isn't enough ambient light. Also, the little hallway leading up to the condo had several BIG water bug carcasses which freaked me out and one semi alive one inside the condo when you first walked in. But I will say those were the only ones I saw. No other little visitors, so phew :) Loved the condo, Love Gulf Shores and the weather was PERFECT! We'll be back!

    Would not recommend this unit - bedroom carpet is filthy. Furniture in unit is much too large for living space. Size of coffee table makes it almost impossible to use hide a bed. Dishes, etc are better than some of the units I have stayed in over past few years.

    The Royal Palms Condos are the BEST location on the Beach... We had to stay out of the water and stay back a little ways on the beach, but overall we still had a GREAT time!! There is NO smell at the beach.. the view is still beautiful, the waves were huge this year and we wish we were still there!!!!!! There is plenty to do with the various attractions ( we love Waterville.. all the waterslides, wave pool, rollercoaster, lazy river, putt putt golf, go carts.. No where else can you go ALL DAY for $30... The State Park put on a fantastic fireworks show from the pier.If you have not made plans then do and if you have them, then keep them.. They need our support in the bad times much as the good times. Gulf Shores has given us SO MANY great vacations that we did not mind a VERY SMALL sacrifice.We are SOOOOO VERY GLAD we went!! God Bless to all the vendors and residents who depend on our tourism every year!

    We had very small tarballs washing up June 7. Tuesday and Wednesday the water was great. There was a lot of dead seaweed washing ashore, but crews were slowly cleaning up the high tide lines. We left Thursday morning right before the oil started coming ashore. I hate to see our beautiful beaches trashed by the oil, sadly they will never be the same. I feel so sorry for the people living along the coast and the wildlife that will end up getting killed by the oil.

    I loved the location of this building. It is the last building before the state park so the the beach is much less crowded than the rest of the beach. The furniture in the unit really needs a good cleaning or updating. It looked dirty and I had to cover the sofa and chair with a sheet so I could sit on it without being grossed out. The bedroom is very crapmped and dark because of the size of the furniture. The kitchen amenities were fine for what we wanted to do, but not if we had wanted to cook "real meals" There were a few maintenance issues with the unit. I called Bender and they had someone there almost immediately to look after it. The balcony on this unit is huge and has a beautiful view. I would stay in this building again because of it's great location, but I would try a different unit. I would definitely use Bender Realty again- they are very helpful and check in was quick.

    I would highly recommend Royal Palms condo. to visitors to Gulf Shores. I like the access to the state park beach and fishing pier. There was not any signs of oil damage to the beach or in the water during our May 8-11 stay. This beach is so much nicer than the other beach (Biloxi, MS) we visited.

    We loved the penthouse 1407, Royal Palms. The balcony was extremely nice, offering a western sunset view. The condo was nicely decorated and everything you could need in the kitchen. We liked it so much we went ahead and reserved this condo for our May 2010 vacation.

    a guest from Pierre Part, LA does not recommend this vacation rental.

    The best part of this condo was the large wrap around balcony and the awesome view. The beach is less crowded due to the State Park located on the side of the condo. We were disappointed in the condo itself. It was lacking in kitchenware and the dishes that were there were not clean. There were no batteries in the tv remotes. We went out and purchased the batteries and a pan for baking, and plastic utensils. It also had a roach problem. This was our 3rd year at the Royal Palms and was satisfied with the other units we stayed in. This unit just needs some attention. I would love to stay in this same unit again, but not in the condition it was in. It could have been cleaner and better equiped with the things we needed. We will stay at the Royal Palms again but, not in this unit.

    The condo was perfect for 2 adults and my daughter. The balcony was INCREDIBLE!!! We loved the fact that the condo was SO close to the beach. My daughter loved the inside pool. We'd definitely stay here again!

    The personnel at Benders were excellent. They were very helpful and very nice and courteous. The condo was nice. The location was excellent. Liked the indoor pool and hot tub and the outdoor pool. Access to the gulf and private beach were great. No big crowds of vacationers to worry about. Condo was not as spacious as we thought it would be for 6 people. Rooms were a little tight but we didn't spend a lot of time in the condo and with the extra large balcony, we could spread out on it. Furniture was fine, but well used. Not thrilled with the dead cockroach in the sleeper sofa. Will use Bender in the future and stay at the Royal Palms, but hope to have a bigger room with a little more space. Loved the Gulf and looking forward to returning soon!

    Was very nice. The coffee table is a little to large for the room but that was not really a problem. The wrap around balcony was great for the fireworks show. we loved it and will be back next year.

    Condo is wonderful, loved the balcony, beach was not crowded since it is next to state park. Would definitely recommemd it and stay there again. (It might be time for a new sofa, the mattress was really uncomfortable) The staff at Bender Realty are wonderful! I will never rent from any other company again.

  • This is a great location for couples. We just had to walk outside on to the deck to enjoy the sun.

    Had the southwest corner unit on the top floor - FANTASTIC VIEW. The only better view in the buildinh would be the southeast corner (unobstructed sunrise).

    Great location. Unit is old and needs serious updating. Garbage disposal broke and sink backed up. Service technician had to be called; disposal was repaired. Furniture has had too many bodies on it; time for a change. Staff at Bender pleasant and helpful.

    Carolyn K from Rosston, AR recommends this vacation rental

    Over all, it was a good stay. Although, there were one or two things left to be desired. There were dead roaches on the floor when we arrived. Also, pieces of the balcony furniture were not in functional order. Our air conditioning had to be repaired during our stay due to a plugged hose. This was addressed in a timely manner, however. We were witnesses to the power of Mother Nature, as Hurricane Ike made his way into the Gulf. That was a First!! It was our choice to leave one day earlier than planned due to inconviences beyond control. This will not hamper my family's decision to vacation in Gulf Shores, or staying at Royal Palms again. We Love It!!!!!!!!!!

    Julie M from Baton Rouge, LA does not recommend this vacation rental.

    Always love staying at the Royal Palms condos. However this unit, 1407, was below par. There was a big ant problem, carpet tacks sticking through and poking feet where the carpet meets the bathroom, mold on the shower doors, a year's worth of old food between the counter and the refridgerator, and the garbage can stunck so bad we put it outside and just used paper bags. This not the quality I expected and will not stay in that unit again.

    The floor in the unit was dirty. There was trash in the carpet in the bedroom. There were crumbs, sand or something all over the kitchen counter. The bed did not have a matress pad on it. Couldn't find the remote control to the tv in the bedroom. We kept looking and it was thrown in the floor beside the bed. You could tell that houskeeping hit the "high spots" and did little else. The view and balcony for this unit. . .amazing! It's a shame that it's not being cleaned and taken care of better.

  •  
  • We had a very nice time in Gulf Shores. We loved the large balcony and the location of the condo. Having it on the end makes the beach less busy. We are talking about going back this fall. Thanks

    The wrap around balcony wasn't as clean as I would have liked but overall it was a great condo. The air conditioning unit wasn't producing cold air but luckily it cooled off considerably at night and the condo stayed cool throughout the day.

    What more is there to say, from the top it is so much more enjoyable, you didn't hear anyone else, view of the water at night was unbelieveable. We plan on coming back agina this year and want the same unit I'm sure this will be our unit from now on. We will just have to work out ours dates so we can use it, very beautiful. Thank you so much for the girls get away.

    The view from its balcony was unbelievable and we really liked how part of the balcony was open for sun bathing. We had excellent service in the parking area because the gentlemen working were very friendly. We did run into some trouble with the fire alarm going off and staying on the top floor, but it added to a great story to tell our friends. We had such a great time we have already decided to stay in the same location this coming up summer if we get a chance to make it to the coast. I recommend the Royal Palms to all our couple friends and family.
