Inside drawers and cupboards were dirty...had to clean them before using. Bed cover stained and worn out. Right patio door damaged and very difficult to open. Patio chairs worn out and uncomfortable. The cost of this unit is way too high and the small discount given wasn't adequate for the poor condition. We're very disappointed.

The staff at Bender was very nice. We have stayed at Gulf Shores many times and this room was by far the most outdated of any of them. The fridge was old and rusted, the bed needed a mattress cover to make it more comfortable and also a bed skirt to help with the looks. There is room for a king bed. The bar stools were very shaky. The balcony chairs were very dirty and needed painted. The outlet out on the balcony was loose and could be a potential fire hazard. I think the owners should invest a little to update it.

This is a decent place to stay for those last minute unplanned getaways when you don't have a bunch of money available for a nicer place. The unit isn't completely terrible, but could definitely use some TLC. A relatively small investment could make a big difference here. For example a new coax cable from the wall to the TV so that you could watch TV without having wiggle the cable to get reception. The white grating on the ceiling is rusty and could use some paint. The base boards under the sink in the bathroom need to be repaired. It would be nice to have some new hard-wired ceiling fans without the chain/cable draped along the wall and ceiling and plugged into an outlet. My biggest issue with this unit is the open grates on the ceiling. The water / drain pipes from the other units are right above it. All through the night you can hear every flush and shower as the water runs through the pipes. It's surprisingly loud and kept me from a good sleep. At first I thought we had a massive leak.
On the positive side, the unit does have great water pressure in the shower. The balcony is nice and large. The sliding doors are nice to be able to close when people in the pool get loud at night. The boardwalk to the beach was very nice and in good shape. The location is great and the staff at Bender Realty were a joy to deal with. I'm not sure I'd stay in this unit again, but I'll definitely look for other properties managed by Bender.

Our stay was great at Gulf Tower. Our room faced the beach and had a great view of the ocean. The room we stayed in was ok but needed to be updated, like the furniture and carpet. I didn't really like that the bathroom had a plastic grate ceiling that you could see the plumbing and bottom of the floor above the room. Be prepared to bring your own towels and toiletries because they do not replace what has been used. A little inconvenient but we would stay there again.

Went for Hangout Fest

I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised with this condo. We had originally booked a different condo that was closer to the Hangout Festival. There was a problem with the owners of that condo, and we were moved to this one. I was a bit upset because we were staying with another couple, and we were now sharing a studio apartment. There was ZERO privacy. It would be a great condo for just one couple or a small family, though. I also have to say that Bender was very sweet about it, and refunded me some of my money for the inconvenience.

I was also scared when I saw the pictures of the place. The pictures DEFINITELY need to be updated. It looks much better in person. It is very very clean, but it needs to be updated. There is no dishwasher, which was a bit of a pain. Also all of the dishes were ceramic and glass, which were not allowed at the pool or anything- I'd recommend bringing some plastic cups and paper plates.

The location was AMAZING. Right on the beach. I really enjoyed the patio in the mornings. The pool was lovely, and the beach was perfection. If you are renting this place for Hangout Fest, know that this is quite the walk! We were told it was a mile away but it was actually 1.4 miles, which means that its about a 3 mile walk every day. So be prepared!

Overall our stay was much better than expected, but the condo could use some updating and it was a little further than I had hoped for.

I mailed a letter into the office

this was a very nice place to stay, staff was great and the view was amazing. The appliances were a little out of date and in need of some TLC but everything was clean and in working order. I would definitely stay there again!

Our stay in Gulf Tower 1C was PERFECT! The ladies at the realty company were extremely nice! Great southern hospitality :)

Nice size and price for a couple wanting to get away for a few days. View was great and the room was fine. We did miss having a washer/dryer so next time I would book a room with washer/dryer since we did stay for the week. The balcony was great but we thought it would be more enjoyable if it had something out there besides the plastic chairs. It is such a nice balcony with the glass sliding doors. We like spending more time out there than sitting in the room. Weather was great and we had a great time.

Upon arrival we could smell a order which I thought was a sewer like smell. I finally figured out that it was coming from the drain that was for the washing machine (washer and dryer had been removed from this unit)I poured some water down the drain and stuffed it with a rag and we never smelled the odor again. Unit could use some updates and needs washer/dryer.

this property was clean but when we stayed last year it had a washer and dryer this it did not and no mention was made of this when we rented this year. And we were still charged the same price. Also there were very few dishes or cooking supplies.

Manager's Response

Sorry for the misunderstanding. The unit description does not include a washer and dryer. The w/d unit in there was removed and not replaced. For future reference, the owner does not plan on replacing the w/d - and it is advertised as not having a w/d.
