  Let the renter know in advance that they have to go to the Bender office before going to the building. We were there for Hangout festival and the office and building were on opposite sides of the street closings. It was a pain to get the keys and bring them back to Bender but would have been better to know in advance. Probably not a big deal on other weekends. Other than that it was great.

  TV in the living is to small. Sitting on the couch and watching a 19'TV is hard to see and the sound is not that good.Please clean the windows on both sides of the sliding doors so when you walk in the condo you want to see the nice view of the gulf.Fan blades need cleaning also.Will I be back ? Yes !!!

  Due to a problem with our unit - not Benders fault - Bender Realty moved us to a unit in one of their other properties. They were so kind and helpful. Went out of their way to make our vacation pleasant. Would definitely use them again! Thanks Bender!

  Royal Palm is a great place to stay if you're looking for a small to medium size location to stay right on the beach in Gulf Shores, I ended up there for 15days. The ladies in the Bender office were very helpful with helping me choose a the right location for my stay.

  We loved the location the most. Really liked to be able to walk to the pier. The outside pool was cold, but both pools and the hot tub were good size and clean. Pool area was a little plain, maybe could be a little more tropical or have some more kid activiities...they were nice, just don't expect a lazy river, or tubes, or slides or anything extra.

  I agree with Ericka P the tv in the living room is outdated.A HD TV hanging on the wall above the kitchen table would be white socks were black at the end of the day from walking on the tile floors,so if the tile is clean your carpet in the bedroom will also stay clean.The bedspread to cover yourself at night feels like a carpet or a rug I like something soft.

  We spent 7 days in this condo with our 3 children. It has a Great DIRECT View...Couldn't ask for any better.
  BUT....The T.V.'s were out-dated and 13in. Our children wanted to play thier Playstation 3 and the T.V.s Were so out-dated that they weren't campatible....
  On the up side....The Master Bed was the ABSOLUTE BEST BED I'VE EVET SLEPT IN!!!! :)

  a guest from New Iberia, Louisiana recommends this vacation rental

  We very much enjoyed our stay in Gulf Shores. Royal Palms is very nice. It is also nice that it is a relatively small condo and that guarantees that the beach will not be crowded. The only regret we had was that the pool was not in between the condo and the beach. The pool is actually off to the side of the condo. And because the sun comes up in the east and sets in the west, the pool is shaded after 1:15 every day and the pool gets quite cold at about 2:00 until closing. There is a nice indoor pool, but as you know there is no sun indoors. My husband and I rather a pool that is in the sun the entire day, from sun up to sun down. And the sun is what keeps the pool warm the whole day. We had a problem with our kids getting cold in the pool towards the afternoon. The outdoor pool is a minor flaw, but our overall stay was great. We had a great time in Gulf Shores and have been coming here since the early 1990's. And Bender Realty was very helpful. I would definetly recommend this property to a friend but would let them know about the outdoor pool.

  This was our first stay in Gulf Shores. We loved the condo we stayed in and would request it again in the future. Just right for our family of 4. The view from our balcony was wonderful and the beach was steps from entrance from the building. The indoor and outdoor pools were nice as well.

  Lisa H from Terre Haute, IN recommends this vacation rental

  Our condo was the perfect size for two! We loved the view. The kitchen was well stocked with appliances and utensils, etc. The unit needed a coat of interior paint and new linens for the king bed. The inside of our unit was spotless and well stocked with towels. Loved having the stack combo washer and dryer! I would like to have known how to report neighbor problems. We were next door to 3 young men, around age 20, who were extrememly noisy. One reason we picked this condo was the stated policy that they did not rent to unsupervised young people. We had to give up sitting on the balcony due to the noise which was a shame. We felt very safe coming and going after dark. We certainly did not lack for things to do in the area and had full days every day. One big advantage to renting in a comparatively smaller building than some of the other condo buildings was that our beach was not crowded! Bigger condo buildings had extremely crowded beaches but not ours. Also, being next to the State Park beach area kept our beach quieter and roomy. The single drawback to our location was we were not in walking distance to shops or restaurants. But in our opinion the advantages of this building outweighed this single negative about location. Bender Realty was very easy to work with and friendly and knowledgable. I would call them again for vacation needs. Special thanks to Betty for making us feel at home.

  In general the property was in very good shape the the location, next to the state park, is excellent. The unit we stayed in could use some updating and new furniture. However, it was clean and functional and we did enjoy our stay there.
