The location is very good , the beach is not as crowded and driving to and from the condo is very easy not as much traffic, the pool was very nice and the grill area was good. The condo itself was very nice as advertised,

I had a pleasant experience even with the snow. I did have trouble with the TVs.

Manager's Response

The snow in Gulf Shores was certainly a unique experience for us all! The unobstructed views of the Gulf from this condo's beachfront balcony are unparalleled. We were glad to have been able to resolve your TV issues the first month of your stay, and are excited to see you next year!

We rented Royal Palms unit 705 early October 2024. The unit was very clean and well decorated. We had everything we needed.
We called for service on the dishwasher because someone had pulled it out from the cabinet and it wasn’t anchored down anymore. Technician came within a few hours to reattach it. We had no other issues and everything worked great.
I liked being next to the public beach because the beach didn’t seem as crowded. When you are near other high rises the beach is more crowded. My husband liked being close to the trail for walking.

We plan to stay here again!

Manager's Response

We're so glad you enjoyed your stay in this lovely condo! The location is perfect - right next to the State Park, with gorgeous views and smaller crowds. We hope to assist you in planning your next visit to the Gulf Coast!

Very cute and relaxing vacation rental. Close enough to all things you want to do at Gulf Shores yet still away from all the heavy traffic. I loved being so close to the beach but also had the luxury of an indoor/outdoor pool. Rental was very clean and pictures are spot on of the facility. We liked that the kitchen was well stocked with cooking utensils as well. We would absolutely rent this condo again. My family loved this place!!!

We had a great experience in our Royal Palms condo from Bender Realty. Our room was clean, and the views were amazing. The location allowed us to spend time in Gulf Shores as well as Orange Beach! Parking was secure as were the outside and inside pool areas!

We enjoyed the seamless and smooth check in and felt as ease with the frequent communication from staff.

We would book this condo again in a heartbeat.

The place was clean and the grounds and pool kept up. The TV in one of the bedrooms did not work I called Bender and they sent some one out promptly.
The TV could not be fixed so the next day they installed a new one. The only problem we had was the mattress in the master bedroom. It was lumpy and sagging in places and not comfortable at all. The owners need to invest in a new one. Other than we had a great time.

Condo was beautiful, no complaints. Only issue was the elevators were out of use at least twice a day.

Neighbors had a loud party last night of our stay. Music was vey loud and shaking the walls. I'm usually one to not complain but this was worth the complaint. Security came and resolved the issue. Very nice man!

The front door would stick. It was very hard to
Open at times. The master bedroom bed was horrible!!! It was very uncomfortable and we didn’t sleep good at all. THE MASTER BED NEEDS TO BE REPLACED! The pots/pans are a little rough. One of the eyes on the stove doesn’t work and one is uneven/unbalanced. We tried to make a grilled cheese sandwich and it was difficult. Stove also gives off odor. The condo is so cute. It is nicely decorated. The balcony is spacious with beautiful views and has nice furniture. The condo is small but big enough for a family of 4 or 5. The location is great. Some things need attention as mentioned above. If it had a better bed and stove, it would be an awesome place to stay.

Manager's Response

This terrific unit has had some exciting updates! The master bed has been replaced, and a brand new couch and love seat are being installed. Also, the condo has a new stove. The front door has been repaired. Future plans including a new dining table and chairs, so stay on the lookout for new pictures on the website this fall!

Pros: location! This condo is right next to a state park so we found that the beach was far less crowded than other areas. The view from the balcony is awesome and the balcony itself is very large compared to other places we have stayed. The beach is a very short walk down a wooden boardwalk. Although the beach service seemed a little pricey, we did take advantage of it. We found the location to be good and easy to get to most places we wanted to visit. The condo seemed mostly clean and older. Some areas could use a refresh. The tv had access to Disney plus and other platforms but you needed your own log in (which we used so it wasn’t a problem). We did not have trouble with the elevators being full and taking awhile as other reviews mentioned. Both the indoor and outdoor pool were available, but we preferred the outdoor. It was average size and never seemed to get too crowded. The rooms and condo itself were a good size for a family.

Cons: This condo lacked majorly in the kitchen area. As a family with small kids, we eat the majority of our meals in the condo. The pots/pans were very hard to reach. Some of the silverware was messed up/sharp edges as if it had been messed up in a garbage disposal. There was no sponge left for cleaning of dishes, only a rag, which hardly cleaned dishes. We ended up buying a sponge at Walmart. The stovetop was difficult to use and often would shut off mid-use. We would have appreciated some other options for dishes that were not glass so we were glad we brought some for our kids.

Manager's Response

This condo with its great location and stunning views is undergoing some great updates. The owners have replaced the master bed and stove. The couch and love seat are currently being replaced, and plans are made for a new dining table and chairs. When you are ready for your next visit to the Gulf Coast, be sure to give Bender Realty a call!

We were very pleased with the location of the condo and how clean it was when we arrived. It was great having the ease to get on the beach and the area we were located wasn’t over crowded with people. We definitely would recommend any one to stay at this location. I was very pleased with how easy it was to check in and out.

We love Royal Palms!! This unit is by far the best we have ever rented. The balcony is great with lots of room and lots of comfortable chairs. Our friends all vacationed at different condos and motor homes and alll ended up on our balcony for a really great get together just about every night! The TVs were large and very nice. The kitchen was well equipped! I loved the bathroom surprise bag of gifts! We REALLY had a great time in this condo. We do plan on renting this unit again!!

So my family and I go to Gulf Shores/Orange Beach twice a year. This was my first time using Bender realty and right off the bat I was very impressed with the communication all the way from upcoming weather to local activities and news. I really appreciated that but best of all was on the day of check in I got a call early that morning letting me know my condo was ready. The people at Bender are Great! As for the Royal Palms the only bad thing I can say is that the outdoor pool is located on the side of the building and half the day there’s no sun. Other than that I was happy with my stay but really happy with the people at Bender Realty.

Clean and comfortable condo with great furnishings (we actually thought the queen mattress that others have mentioned was very comfortable and slept like babies!), nice TVs, awesome balcony furniture and beautiful view. The twin beds in the second bedroom were perfect for our young kids. The beach spot in front of Royal Palms can’t be beat! Plenty of room to spread out towards the Pier. We enjoyed the indoor and outdoor pools, too. Kitchen is well stocked, but I couldn’t find oven mitts or measuring cups. We would definitely stay at Royal Palms again and in this particular unit! And we will definitely go through Bender again; their customer service was superb.

Bender Realty was wonderful, appreciate the kind assist from Betty and Alice. Condo was clean, facilities had hand sanitizer and elevator was bleached each morning. Outdoor pool was open. Would ask owner to consider updating master queen mattress, and adding additional bowls to pantry (only 3 cereal-type bowls), and chip clips to pantry. Really liked the balcony furniture. Truly enjoyed the stay.

Check in experience was perfect. Everything in unit was great including dependable WiFi. I had the unhappy experience of breaking the shower knob in the master bath with resulting cascade of water where it pulled out of wall. Bender responded heroically sending Lawrence and then a plumber to fix the problem. Bender was equally responsive when sink faucet in second bathroom was malfunctioning. Got to see Lawrence again and a plumber who replaced the faucet. After that, no problems. Everyone was gracious and extremely helpful. A+.

I am happy to review this property as I enjoyed the condo very much. Aside from an initial problem with getting wifi (not the property's fault and the problem was addressed as efficiently as possible), there are a couple of things I would like to mention. (1) Given that the unit sleeps 8 (based on number of beds) there weren't even 8 full size plates in the cupboard and I think only 7 bowls of a size to use for cereal, soup, or the like. More plates and bowls would be good.
(2) The several skillets with teflon were in pretty bad condition, scratched and peeling. I suggest some new ones. Also I couldn't find a funnel but that may not be a staple item included in the usual equipment. There were ample saucepans. I couldn't find a measuring cup but then did find one hidden inside a saucepan with a lid! I was surprised there was a charge for linen when staying a month. I had never encountered that in previous rentals in any GS or OB properties over the past ten years. Perhaps it is now common.

The unit was nicely decorated and everything functioned well. A deficient shower stream in one bathroom was quickly fixed by one of your crew. Another unfortunate occurrence was having to have 2 giant fans in the unit for 3 days due to a water leak on another floor. Inconvenient, but again no fault of the unit itself.

Overall, I had a wonderful time in 705. Very nice 2 bedroom unit, well maintained, nicely decorated and comfortable. Royal Palms is my favorite building in GS, and this unit was a winner.

WE have had an enjoyable time at the beach. The weather has been much nicer this year. This extra week in March has been outstanding.
The condo was clean and pleasant when we arrived. I don't understand the king sheet on the twin bed but, we managed. I believe that both the washer and the stove may need some attention. The right front burner does not always heat and the washer is making a lot of noise. it would be nice to have a flat skillet (griddle style} to make pancakes, french toast etc. New couches are comfortable. A guest wondered where the cute big lipped fish decorations were purchased. It would be nice to have a meeting room where new friends could meet. Too many for one condo. Thanks, Jacky Remington

Husband and I stayed at Royal Palms on our first visit to Gulf Shores. The beachfront condo was very clean and the décor was beautiful. It has a full kitchen, two bedrooms and bathrooms with twin beds in one room and a queen bed in the other. The couch also makes a bed. We only used the queen master bedroom/bathroom. The mattress was not great but was o.k. We didn't use the kitchen at all except for the refrigerator for soft drinks. We loved Gulf Shores and plan on a return trip. I will be calling the friendly employees at Bender Realty for reservations to Royal Palms. We had a fantastic time.

We loved being able to come and go on Mondays. The traffic was not bad on those days. The condo was spacious and clean. Didn't like having to come get a key. Wish it was a key less entry where we were given a code. Didn't like having to pay for the second parking pass.That was not explained on info. Didn't like maintenance man from condo coming into our condo to check out disposal not working without knocking or calling us before he came in.Bender had our cell number and we asked that we be called.
