This was our 4th year to stay at Caribbean and have been very happy there but this year was a little different....for 2nd year in a row the outside pool was freezing cold unfortunately inside pool was closed....parking was not great due to over size trucks parked in garage and with only 1 entrance getting in and out were terrible....our condos have always been very clean but this it seemed like they hurried and missed some places.....

Great deck and view, recliner nice for husband and sofa sat well.
Bed was good king, and room and closet big. But, both toilets low and seats small, round type so difficult for us as there were no bars on wall.
Disposal did not work for a nite and day at end of stay. Kitchen skillets quite old, but rest of dishes stocked well. Problem with parking first two days of painting and scraping of building. This made going and coming difficult for husband on cane. I had to get car from sandy lot across street to load him and our dog 2 was noisy when they worked.

Manager's Response

We're glad you enjoyed this lovely, dog-friendly beachfront condo. Thank you for your input; we will evaluate the dishes and bathrooms and communicate with the owner as needed. We hope to have the opportunity to host you in the near future!

The experience was a positive one overall. They had a running toilet in the master bath which they completely fixed the same morning we reported it. Awesome service! The bedding and bath linens need to be replaced. But other than that it was a great spot. Hated to leave after 5 days.

Manager's Response

We're so glad you had such a great time in this terrific condo. When you're ready to come back for a longer stay, give us a call!

We really enjoyed our stay at this beach condo! The views were absolutely stunning — waking up to the sound of the waves and seeing the ocean right from the balcony was a dream. The location was perfect, and we especially appreciated that the condo was pet-friendly, which made our trip even more special.

There were a few things that could use some attention. The pool wasn’t very clean during our visit, and some of the furniture and bedding could use a refresh. A little extra care in those areas would make this place truly perfect.
Overall, we had a great time and would definitely consider staying here again. With just a bit of maintenance, this condo could easily be a 5-star getaway!

We stayed in room 404 at the Coastal Caribbean and could not have been more happy! The location of the building, as well as our room within could not have been better. We had amazing views of the ocean with a nice patio and furniture to sit out and enjoy. There was an indoor and outdoor pool that my kids loved and by being on the beach, they never left the water.
The condo was well stocked with anything you needed and extra things like floats and a beach wagon to make sure our stay was the most enjoyable. The beds were very comfortable and there were plenty of towels. The kitchen was also very well stocked with plenty of cookware and utensils. We even used the charcoal grill on the facilities for dinner one night. I don’t think our stay could have been any better and we look forward to staying again

I booked this condo because of its proximity to the beach, pet-friendly accommodations, and cost. Overall it was a great experience! You cannot beat the beach views from the balcony which may have been the best part for us. Getting to the beach could not have been easier. All we had to do was go downstairs and boom, access to the beach. We also enjoyed the pool and sauna. Really the only complaint may have been the outdated & small “gym.” We pre-booked for next year and can’t wait to enjoy this property again.

Manager's Response

Thank you for your high marks! Caribbean 404 really is a great condo - a corner balcony with terrific sunset views, convenient location, and multiple amenities. We welcome the chance to assist you in planning your next Gulf Coast getaway - hopefully to this same great location!

Clean condo that met all of our needs. It was nice to be able to check the beach to see what our group was doing when we had to run back inside for something. Close to shops, groceries, restaurants and easy to get in and out of. The property itself could use some updating, but I would still recommend it to a friend. The desk staff was very helpful and accommodating during the reservation and checkin process.

Manager's Response

We're so glad you enjoyed yourself during your stay in Caribbean. The views are terrific, and you are right - it's very conveniently located to everything. Unit 404 is nicely appointed. We hope to assist you in planning your next visit to the Gulf Coast!

Our visit at Christmas was most enjoyable, relaxing and restful. Scenery, traffic, accommodations all were as good or better when compared to our experiences in Florida. We found the unit could use a thorough and deep cleaning--particularly furniture. Couch and chairs need replacing. Leather would be a big improvement. We could have used a blanket or two and we had to replace batteries for two of the tv remotes. Staff were to a person helpful, friendly and affable. Parking facilities were excellent and sufficient although squeezing through contractor pickups was something comparable to circumventing an obstacle course. Baggage carts rather bulky and unwieldy and not very suitable to existing elevator service. Having no access to ice was a major inconvenience. Probably time to update television cable service which we found to be dated, limited and unreliable (including reception). Pet-friendly a big plus. Other than ice, kitchen was well-appointed.

Manager's Response

What a lovely condo from which to enjoy Christmas! The beachfront views, multiple amenities, and dog-friendly status, make Caribbean the perfect place to get away. We regret the absence of blankets and batteries and would have replaced them immediately when our staff came and assisted you with the televisions. We welcome the opportunity to assist you in planning your next Christmas vacation!

This was our first time at Caribbean condo. Due to the addition of our little dog Pepper. We have always enjoyed being right on the beach and this was awesome. Especially with the wooden walkway for easy access. It was nice to see all the families that were able to bring their dogs. The condo was nice and the view incredible. The only issues were small . Parking at times was difficult and internet was sporadic. We enjoyed our stay and have already booked the room for next year. Thanks Chris Crosby.

We did enjoy our stay. The perfect location!! The room was nice with a few things that could have been better. We had ants in the kitchen so we had to kinda watch our food and drinks. Also we only had 1 roll of toilet paper in each bathroom, it would be great if you had at least a roll out and an extra roll in cabinet. But over all it was a great trip with great family memories. We would definitely stay at the location again!

This was perfect for our girls’ beach getaway! The condo is decorated with an adorable beachy vibe. Everything was clean and comfortable. We made good use of the kitchen. However, our favorite part was the beautiful view, that we had right from our balcony. We could spend all day just staring out at the beautiful gulf and pristine white sands. Gorgeous! This condo had everything we needed to have a fun and relaxing visit. We highly recommend it, and cannot wait to return.

We have stayed at the Caribbean for the last ten years. We have always had a great time. However the last few years the security guards have been a growing issue. This year felt like being in a prison. Me and my wife had flash lights shined in our face while we were walking to the beach. It was a quite evening and we were having normal conversation. The security guard told us we were not allowed to talk, when we asked why he said he will call the police. My wife and I are over 50...this is unacceptable. Similar situation happen to my children (not allowed to talk and not allowed to stand on the lot to wait for the other family members) They asked the security guard for his name and he refused to give it to them.
We enjoy many local restaurants and events. The main reason we stay here is just to enjoy the beach (day and night). Due to my growing family we had two rooms this year which make this a very expensive trip, this a lot money just to be harassed almost nightly by security. The bad times with security out weighted our good times this year so sorry to say this will be our last year. We have 10 years of pictures of the family growing up on that beach, very sad to see it end. I typically don’t write reviews and I’m sorry to be negative. Hopefully you can get this issue resolved so this don’t happen to other families.

The condo was clean, except moldy shower grout, and bright. Nice appliances. Comfy beds. Right on the beach.
We happened to be there before and during Hurricane Sally. Due to high winds, the elevator broke. And it seems to happen regularly with high winds. Also, about 6 hours after we lost power, the emergency lights in the stair wells went out. Navigating several flights of dark concrete stairs with luggage was, to say the least, a challenge! The employees of Bender Realty, even having experienced property damage of their own and loss of electricity and water, were as helpful and considerate as possible. Great, great staff.
We will try the beach again soon.

Wish we were still there!!!

Convenient parking spot right at the elevator, which opens very close to the condo door. Great for those who have trouble walking long distances. Very short walk down to the water, only takes about one minute. We brought our large pot, and boiled shrimp. It was also great to bring along our weenie dog. ☺️

Our stay (5 weeks) was great. Property description accurate. Location great. Loved being able to have our little dog with us. Management good. That said the inside of the condo was "shabby" We had to clean when we arrived. Furniture worn. We replaced a shower head and bought more silverware and a can opener. We would recommend it with reservations. More good than bad. Had a good time overall.

We had covered parking so we knew our vehicle would be protected from the rain & we wouldn't get drenched getting in and out of the condo. We had an issue with dish network. He stayed there a long time to get it fixed correctly. He apologized and cleaned up after himself. We'll be back!!

Overall it was great. The beds weren't the most comfortable. Take your own pillows. Not enough pillows. Location was nice. Just far enough away from the downtown to be quiet. Beach was close and clean. And outdoor pool was warm. Would stay again.

Manager's Response

We're so pleased you enjoyed your stay in Gulf Shores! Caribbean 404 has a wonderful view from its beach front balcony and an indoor and outdoor pool. Please know that our office is open seven days a week in order to address any issues a guest may experience during their stay. Don't forget to call Bender Realty when you are ready for a repeat visit to the Gulf Coast!

We did enjoy the condo. The view was great. However, the pillows and chairs were dirty and stained. We asked for them to be cleaned but it didn't happen while we were there. The toaster and can opener didn't work and the serving dishes were sparse but we did really enjoy our stay and loved the view. Only problem was a person 2 floors down played loud music almost every day. It was reported but he pretty much ignored them and played anyway. (Music could be heard in the next condo complex!)

Manager's Response

We are so glad you enjoyed your January in Gulf Shores. Caribbean 404 has a lovely view from its private beach front balcony. We regret the issues you experienced and are thankful that, with maintenance and housekeeping on staff every day, we were able to address most of them promptly. We hope that you will give Bender Realty a call when you are ready to return to the Gulf Coast!

The condo made you feel at home from the time you drive into the location. Parking space was perfect for us and the carts waiting downstairs were very helpful. We had two condos rented and both we're waiting on us to enter and begin making memories. The layout was perfect and the room size adequate. Our view was very nice and facilities were about as clean as you would expect anywhere. The only thing that I missed was my king size bed. We plan to stay again next summer. Thank you for a fun time!! I would rate the whole experience a 4. That is as high as I ever rate because there is always room for improvement. Nothing is perfect!!!

This was my 4th time staying at the Carribbean. The first 3 times we stayed in 604 but that unit was already booked when we decided to go on vacation. I was worried the view would not be as good on the 4th floor but it was about the same. We had a great time. It was myself and my 3 daughters with 2 friends. I would recommend this condo.

Loved the location and view! Right on the beach! On the quiet end of town, but only a short, easy drive to all the conveniences. Great neighborhood for walking and biking. We initially chose the Caribbean because it is one of the smallest buildings to offer an indoor pool which was small, but warm. Condo itself was cheerfully decorated, but showing some wear. Bender staff were quick to respond to requests. We will likely return to the Caribbean the next time we return to Gulf Shores.

The door needs a safety lock so kids can not just open the door, and so you can fell safe at night that no one can just into your condo. Also there was mold in our bathroom one the wall above the bathtub. And the room needs a broom to sweep the sand up I had a two kids slip on the sand, and the front door could use a good rug to help catch excess sand.

We chose this property because it is small, only 32 units with all Gulf view. The property appears well-maintained and the Bender realty staff were very attentive. There is really nothing fancy about the unit, but it had everything we needed and the building amenities (indoor and outdoor pool, barbecue, sauna, steam room, some exercise equipment) were nice.
The indoor parking spaces are a bit tight but workable. Being on west beach means a bit less traffic. We would stay there again.

We did feel that for more than $100 cleaning fee we had to pay that it would have been cleaner on arrival. Nothing to horrific, but could use a mop and some good scrubbing from the cleaning crew!

I really enjoyed staying at this condo. I traveled with my mother who is 88 years "young" and she really enjoyed sitting on the balcony as she was only on the beach once which was enough for her! I also had my daughter and my two grandchildren ages 3 1/2 and 18 months. The grandchildren had an absolute blast between the pool and playing at the beach. I must say that we have stayed at several places at Gulf Shores over the last 25 years and this was a lovely location. We stayed at the Sandpiper last year and were very disappointed. The pool was always crowded with many adults, and not the best behavior for little ones to be around. There was a family reunion there and they took over the place. This time at the Caribbean the pool was never crowded and when people were there they were enjoying it with their children also. I would recommend that they need to have a sweeper or swiffer of some sort in the unit. The whole condo is tiled and the broom that was available to us did not do a very good job getting the sand up. Also, being barefooted most of the time in the unit our feet got absolutely filthy. There was no bucket and the mop was pretty dirty to even try to mop the unit. If I had known there was no sweeper, I think I may have brought my own swiffer and wet swiffer wipes to keep the sand cleaned up!! I did not feel like buying a new one as I already have one at home and didn't need two. The amenities in the kitchen were very limited. There was no measuring cup (I bought one and left it there for future guests), no cookie sheets or muffin pans. The one spatula had really seen its better days also. The pots and pans were pretty worn too, but usable. I guess all in all those things are really pretty minor, because in the end we all had a wonderful time and will stay at the Caribbean again, possibly another unit and I will ask more questions about what is in the unit before renting.

There were a few items broken in the condo, the doors to the washer/dryer, the tray in the fridge kept falling out and the toliet in the larger bathroom ran continously. The location is a good spot, however parking is very inconvenient and too crowded. We were excited to have a parking spot in the covered garage but were unable to park there for a few days due to the persons in unit 401 driving a large SUV that took up 2 spots. One evening possibly Wednesday night the security guard had people there after 10:00 that parked in spot 404 while they were in the biggest complaint is the last night of our stay (Sunday night) the onsite security guard (different than the guard during the week) knocked on our condo door at 11:30pm to have us move our jeep because our tire was on the line of the parking space. We were leaving at 4:00am Monday morning so we had gone to bed early and my sons had to wake us up to get the keys to move the jeep over 3 inches. Prior to sunday night I would have considered this location for a future stay, but the incident with the security guard changed my mind.

Property suited my needs. Maintenance was very on top of needs (toilet that needed maintenance). Property is a little "dated". Pool area is small for a property of this size and needs a "common area" for large groups like ours to gather (we are not a loud group). We checked in and out in record time - very surprised by that. The access to beach was great.

Overall, we were very satisfied with our stay but there were a few areas that we thought needed mentioning. We stayed for 9 days and there were no additional garbage bags or toilet paper rolls anywhere in the condo. This was rather frustrating as we had 4 people staying and used the only garbage bag in the first two days. The top of the refrigerator and around the television had obviously not been cleaned in quite some time. Finally, there was no cutting board in the kitchen and no dust pan for sweeping up the sand that accumulated. All these things seem quite small when compared to the entire stay but were rather inconvenient individually. I do want to reiterate that in spite of these things we LOVED the trip!

You can't look at them and tell they are not clean but if you walk on them without shoes, you can. A few more kitchen items would have been nice. Like a wine bottle opener and some baking sheets. There are no plastic cups to take out to the beach -which I understand not having any,they would just go missing - just bring some. We would stay again!

The unit was very nice and overall we were satisfied. However, the floors were so dirty throughout the entire unit from the moment of our arrival that everyone in our group had to wear shoes the entire time that they were in the unit or their feet would get disgustingly black. I don't think that the floors had been thoroughly cleaned in a very long time. We had two small children in our group that we had to constantly remind to stay off the floor because it was turning their clothes black. This was a huge inconvenience and drawback for all of us.
