We're so glad that you enjoyed your stay in Gulf Shores. Gulf Tower has great views from its glass-enclosed balconies and a large outdoor pool. Unit 4C has serviceable furnishings, as seen in pictures on our website, and serves as a great home base for the family wanting to enjoy all that Gulf Shores provides. We regret that housekeeping was not up to standards, and apologize for any inconvenience during your stay. We welcome the chance to assist you in finding the perfect spot to stay in for your next visit to the Gulf Coast!

It's good to be ocean front but this building is too many units versus the the size of the site. Parking is tight and handicap parking is a cruel joke. The spaces are virtually inaccessible -- slap against the building so only children can get out of the vehicle much less a disabled adult. If you can get your vehicle in the spot(s), all two of them, backing out requires an uncanny set of driving skills since dumpsters are directly behind with a wall next the passenger door. If you can actually pull into the HC space you cannot open a door more than about a foot and the car blocks the doors to the lobby for foot traffic. Only 1 elevator was in service but the other was being replaced. Our unit had inadequate linens, no blankets and half the pillows were without cases. Bender acted quickly when notified. Much of the furniture was rickety and some electric plugs were compromised. The beach is extremely short due to the slope at the water but most of the waterline was taken by pay-to-play chairs and shade for an outside vendor. Beach patrol access and dune preservation took up most of the sand area. Bringing your own shade and chairs is uncomfortable at best and your children have hardly any play area. This is an older build build shortly after Fredrick. It is ocean front and close to the thick of things. The lagoon is about 2 blocks north in easy walking distance. Our particular unit had only 1 key fob for access to the pool and beach. inconvenient for 5 people ages 12 - 74. Parking is strictly enforced since trespassers can make car storage impossible for paying guests. The stay was not terrible but these points are relatively minor inconveniences that guests should be aware of before you book.

We really enjoy staying at Gulf Tower but was not impressed with this particular unit. Furniture was stained and uncomfortable and one of the chairs was broken. Also, we did not like that there was not a glass between the living room and balcony. This really hindered those of us that wanted to watch TV/talk and those that wanted to enjoy the sound of the ocean. Plus it made the entire unit very warm if the balcony glass was open.

The front bedroom that my kids slept in, the blinds were broken so you could see right into the room. We had to rig something up so they could sleep and change clothes in peace. We also did not like how it didn't have an actual balcony to sit on. Our particular room had the doors but you couldn't really open them and enjoy it without making the entire condo hot. We made the best of our stay but probably will not stay at Gulf Tower again. BENDER REALTY was amazing to deal with and very helpful I will say!!!

Location was perfect. Check in/out was easy and fast. The furniture was in terrible shape, especially when you factor in the cost to rent the unit. Charging for a higher level unit with poor furniture is far from appropriate.

The most disappointing part was the cleaning of the unit before we arrived. The master bath toilet had black mold and the pinkish/orange ring from not being cleaned. The pinkish/orange ring usually takes 2-3 weeks to form. Black mold is something that I have never scene in a toilet, but I have never let my toilet go 4 weeks without being cleaned.

We also noticed that most of the condo's had a nice balcony but ours didn't have the glass doors separating the condo living area from what would be the outside balcony. I guess the owners opted for more air-conditioned space. The down side is when we wanted to open the doors to hear the ocean and waves we were letting the cool air flow outside. No biggie though, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the folks at Bender couldn't have been more pleasant to work with.

Very much enjoyed our time at Gulf Towers 4C. Unit very nicely furnished and equipped. I would suggest replacement of the old tube TV in the living room with a flat screen so one could get HDTV channels, but that is the only thing that needs to be done. We are not likely to rent with Bender again only because Bender has a new policy to no longer rent units for Feb only (you have to rent Jan and Feb)so my group (which will rent 4 units in Feb 2013) will likely go elsewhere.

Manager's Response

Appreciate your comments, however, I must correct your misunderstanding of our winter rental policy regarding February "only" rentals. Our policy has not changed and we do allow February only rentals. As always, we limit bookings for February until later in the year to allow for potential rentals which include January, as the first priority for rental consideration. If we release properties for February rentals too early in the year, then that can preclude potential rentals that would take January and February and even March. February only bookings are available in the Fall starting in October. Hope we see you again next year.

We stayed at Gulf Tower 4C for 6 weeks while our condo at Edgewater was under renovaton. We found the condo comfortable and would recommend it to our friends. My only complaints would be that the floors needed a very good scrubbing and the laundry room became very hot and sauna like when the dryer was running. The patio doors really rattled on a windy day. The parking lot is extremely tight. But nothing that would actually keep me from returning to Gulf Tower 4C. Bender Realty is great to work with.

This is our 5th year working with Bender Realty. Obviously we are very satisfied with their customer service. However this year we were a little disappointed that we were not notified in advance that our Edgewater condo would not be available when we arrived in G.S. on January 1. We might have done our plans a little differently. However we were put into Gulf Tower 4C and the condo is very much like Edgewater. Actually, the same owner as the Edgewater condo. We like this condo (Gulf Tower 4C) and have actually booked it for next year but I do have some items that I feel need attention. 1. The floors really need a good scrubbing. You can see the sand ground into the floors. 2. It would be nice if the door into the condo were painted. It is the first impression a person gets when they enter the condo. 3. The patio doors rattle something awful on a windy day. 4.The tv remote in the guest bedroom does not work.

When we first found out we could not get into our condo we were told it would be just for a day or two - then a week or two - tomorrow will be a month. This is not Bender's fault but the situation is disappointing. We have company coming next week and we are still not sure when we will be able to move. We do know we have to be out of here by Feb. 12th as new people are coming in. Many of our Edgewater friends were placed in other condos for their entire stay. We wish we could have done this.

The carts for moving luggage and groceries were very convenient. This unit has an enclosed balcony that creates extra inside area. This adds a lot of room and an extra table for dining. But if you are looking to sit outside on a balcony, you should know that it's not possible (although the doors do completely open to the outside). The ice maker was not working consistently, but other than that, everything was great.

We enjoyed our stay at The Gulf Towers 4c. The room is a little dated (wallpaper, dated furniture, etc) but over all very clean and with a great view. Would have been nice to have a food disposal in the sink. Very affordable for what you get. Would recommend to friends and family.

We did like his condo a little better than the one we had previously. We did feel that this condo does need some minor repairs: water damge (?) in ceiling near vent in dining area, carpet dirty in bedroom and water damge in closet when you first walk in.
We were disappointed that you do not give better rates for the rest of March. We did find another condo in the area that will give us the condo for the entire month (31 days) for about $400 additional per month.

Walls and trim need to be painted to make the unit look cleaner. The electric can opener did not work. Pillows had stains and there was a mustard(?)stain on the bedspread. Also, the dryer had a loud rattle like there was something loose inside.

Just attention to a few details would make the unit look better.

A few minor problems with the condo. I would stay in this condo again, however, due to the location within Gulf Towers.

Furniture was dusty. Tub in master had a broken faucet handle. Nothing major. The cleaning fee is sufficient for dusting and a plumber could have fixed the faucet prior to our arrival.

We loved the location and the views. The beds were clean and very comfortable. The unit was mostly clean, but there were food crumbs on the rug under the coffee table and the vertical blinds wouldn't close. Our 1st night, small children were playing (loudly) in the pool at midnight, despite posted rules. This was our first condo rental and we loved being so close to the beach and restaurants. Great value with last-minute rates.

The Gulf front view was great and the beach was easily accessable and never too crowded in that location. My family, including four children, had a great time. I would suggest that the owner replace the drapes on the balcony sliding doors. The cords hang down in the middle when the drapes are open. I would recommend unit 4C.

We prefer the low rise, few people, complexes at Gulf Shores as opposed to the new mega condos towards Orange Beach. Must haves in a condo are; beachside, 2 bedroom, 4 beds, 2 baths, full kitchen w/washer and dryer, and a pool.
This is not the newest and shiniest unit on the Gulf, but that is not very important to us.
The one oddball thing about Gulf Towers are the balconies. There really are not any. A sliding glass door opens from the living space exposing a railing. You don't walk out on a balcony. Also the view from the master bedroom sliding glass door is to the living space which opens to the "balcony". The only issue with this is you can't leave your curtains open to the master bedroom for the beach view because your kids can walk right up to the outside of the sliding door.
We knew this ahead of time from other reviews so no surprises.
We love Gulf Shores and have been using Bender for 5+ years. Always friendly and very helpful. We will back for many years to come.

I wasn't crazy about having to pay $18 for an additional car for my daughter and her husband with only about 8 cars in the parking lot. That's my only complaint.

We enjoyed the heated pool! The Gulf water was a bit too cold for me, so this was great! We have come to Gulf Tower for many years - satisfied!

a discount on the cleaning fee. All they did was change the linens out. No tv in second bedroom. Just a unit that could play a DVD, not hooked up to cable which was right there hanging out of wall, but never been connected. We'd rather pay a little more and have a clean place to stay. We were with a group in 4 condos and ours was the only one dirty.

we love gulf tower because it is not too big and feels more personal than some of the other condos we have stayed in. we have stayed in the bottom units as well as the penthouse and each time we have been very happy. we love the fact that it is on the beach and that it is not too far from any of the activities we love.
