Overall the condo was nice. A little dated but enjoyable. On arrival the floors were dirty. Appeared swept but not mopped. My grandsons knees and feet were black after crawling around. One of the dining room chairs disrepair. After contacting the office, Someone offered to have cleaning crew.and maintenance come out. I responded not that big a deal, just wanted to advise them. Guaranteed someone would check it after our departure. Other than that good place to stay.

Enjoyed it just like the previous stays we've had at Clearwater. Just a couple of minor things. The toaster would not work unless you held the lever down when making toast. Not a big deal but maybe needs looking at. The ice maker does not work but maybe this is by design in case someone would leave without turning it off. Again not a big deal we just used the cube trays. Also there was no vacuum. We like to vacuum before we leave. My husband was taught that when you borrow or use something that belongs to someone else you always leave or return it in the same or better condition than it was when you received it. Again no big deal. We'll definitely be back. You can bet on it. We love the place!!!!!

I’ve been coming to GS for over 10 years. I found this unit to have the best stocked kitchen of any place I stayed. The location is right on the beach, beds were very comfortable, furnishings were very nice. The balcony is small but sufficient. The only thing I would say needs attention is the dishwasher as it isn’t bolted in place and falls forward on you when you open the door. The stove is usable but outdated.

First, so happy they painted and upgraded this unit. We have stayed at this condo complex 3 times and this unit was the last unit available. We were reluctant because of the decor, but was assured it was improving and it did. The unit was unfortunately not cleaned very well, but I am not one to complain. They have everything you need in a kitchen for your stay. I will say we needed the sofa sleeper and this was not a sofa sleeper. So they need to update the amenities. Over all we were happy as usual with our stay, except we had a stormy week. Location amazing. Bender Reality is amazing!! I just wish the world would get back to normal, it was very hard to eat out and wait times were horrible! We love this place and Gulf Shores!!

Loved the location. Liked the layout of the condo unit but omg the decor was horrendous. Paint job looked like a child had a lot of fun with paint dripping on woodwork. It was unappealing to wake up to every day but at least we were out most of the time. The beach was clean and quiet. Bottom line is I would stay in the building again but never that particular unit. On the questions below if property means the building in general I am giving it a five not the unit. There were dust bunnies in the unit as well. But overall clean.

My family loved the layout of Clearwater5D also the location was awesome. Yes,there are some needs, painting needs touched up although the colors were fine. Biggest issue was the sliding door was hard to manage. One time it rolled ok and the next was a real struggle. I reported it to the agency and asked them to have it serviced before next renter. Could be a real issue for elderly or child. Was not the best condo I have ever stayed in but the beds were comfortable and location, parking and beach access was great. Couch showing wear, but I would stay here again.

We stayed in a different Clearwater condo last year and loved it so wanted to book another one this year. It was NOT like the other, granted they are all individually owner. 5D is completely dated with very old and worn out furnishings. I will not stay in this unit again. When sitting on the couch you can feel the bars from the foldout bed beneath it. The stove, coffee maker, and toaster oven are all older than me. The decor is so 80s and nothing matches or goes together. This entire unit looks/feels as if it was completely furnished with thrift store finds. It was really nauseating. But, the layout is the same which is good, and beds were comfortable. Perfect view. Nice new chairs on balcony. Interior paint job looks to have been done by a 5 year old. Lots of Jerry rigged things inside as well. I would stay at Clearwater again but not this unit. Bender Realty is awesome though and we love booking through them.

We love that it is a small building so not as many people to contend with and there is always plenty of room on the beach. This year our condo was ok. It was comfortable as usual. The decor was not appealing; bright colors and it seemed like every available wall space had something hanging on it. You could tell the owners have been a little lax on the upkeep. We will definitely stay here again but will try to get a condo we've used in the past as opposed to this one.

The nonstick pan needed to be replaced, we purchased one for our use during our stay. The microwave wouldn't rotate which made us unable to make popcorn because it would burn but it would still heat food. The inner section of the toaster was not functional so you had to rotate your bread to toast both sides. Other than the minor updates needed in the kitchen we had a great stay and would recommend this property.
