Location was awesome and view was beautiful! Kitchen cabinets need to be scrubbed down and we were short on pillow cases. I had to buy some and left them there. But we would stay there again!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: IT WAS PRETTY GOOD. THERE WERE JUST SOME MINOR ISSUES.1. There are two elevators and one did not work half of the time. This caused some long waits and cramped elevators.2. My son slept on the sleeper sofa. Upon removing the cushions we found the sleeper part was covered in crumbs. Had obviously not been checked/cleaned by house keeping in quite a while. Also, there were no sheets/pillow cases to be found in any of the closets. He had to sleep on the bare mattress and pillows. On checkout day we found a platic bag on linens outside on the porch.

ALSO DIDN'T LIKE THAT THEY DIDN'T HAVE A BALCONY SEPARATE FROM ROOM AND THEY DON'T ALLOW ANYONE TO SIT BY THE POOL AFTER 10PM. THE GRILLS ARE LOCATED IN THE CORNER OF THE PARKING LOT, NOT IDEAL FOR GRILLING. I HAD A GREAT TIME WITH MY FAMILY, GULF SHORES IS A GREAT AREA FOR A FAMILY VACATION.

Reviewer Comments: Unit 8C in Gulf Tower was recently updated with solid surface counter tops, painting throughout, much new furniture and, while were there, new patio doors. We had a super stay.

I personally appreciated the reasonable cost compared to others but got less than I expected for the cost.

Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Enclosed balcony great. Hall toilet has problems. (we avoided it) Owner should invest in small repairs & updating. My priorities of clean linens (enough of them), convenient kitchen, and no bugs get 5 stars. The common areas well kept. Pool pristine. Dirty old grills outside. We hoped this would be a place to stay for a month or more this winter, but no. Shopworn is a good word to describe the condo. No internet wasn't a problem for a few days, but the inconvenience of using common room would be longer term. I felt safe & can say for sure the smoke alarm works (from cooking) & there are sprinklers. If you let Ginny at Bender know what you are looking for, she will find it. Will always call them.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall satisfied with our stay. It was in a great location. The unit had lovely decor but could have been cleaner. The refrigerator/ freezer smelled strongly of fish, keeping us from storing our food in it. The king mattress was broken down on one side making it slightly uncomfortable. The staff was very welcoming and helpful.

The only problems we had was the a/c in condo one of my sisters had and the a/c in the rec room was frozen. Still we had a wonderful time.

None of the channels would go inside with the tv guide. Other than that, the condo was amazing.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our stay in 8C was very enjoyable. The decor was very pretty and I was delighted with it. There are a few things that I felt needed attention though. The sliding glass doors on the balcony 'really' need some vertical blinds. The glare from the sun coming straight in to the living room was very bad and we had to sit with our backs to the porch to be able to see the tv screen. Also, there is no privacy at all in the master bedroom b/c of the lack of any kind of door. The people in the living room had to go to the other bedroom if they wanted to watch tv. Because of those two relatively large issues I will not be staying at this unit in the future. I hope that these two important issues can be rectified b/c the unit is very nice with upgraded appliances in the kitchen as well. The only thing the kitchen was lacking in was a decent teflon coated skillet. There is a little one but it's very scratched up. A little clock in the bedroom would be a plus as well. Thank you for a beautiful stay. I've been staying at Gulf Tower for over 30 years and love it.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This unit is cozy, very comfortable and decorated in a beach theme. Bender Realty was wonderful to work with and you couldn’t ask for a better location and condo layout. We particularly enjoyed the master bedroom off the balcony, as we were able fall asleep to the sound of the waves and waking up to beautiful sunrises. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we could ask for. Although the condo is a little dated we found it to be very comfortable and inviting. The ceramic (wood pattern) floors are beautiful, however very hard on the feet. After a week, both my husband and I had sore feet. It would be nice to have some area rugs both in the living room and bedroom. The pool is clean and nice to have so close to the elevators. The beach is beautiful with rentable chairs/umbrellas. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed staying in this condo and will be back again! PROS: Beautiful location, great beach and comfortable condo. CONS: The ceramic tile floors are very hard on the feet. Although the floor was well swept when we arrived, it was still very dirty. Five minutes walking without our shoes, our white socks were black. Other than the floor, everything else was clean. Unfortunately this unit does not have Internet. You have to go to the clubroom to get it.

Reviewer Comments: Overall, we were very satisfied with the condo we stayed in at Gulf Towers and the excellent care that we received from the staff at Bender's. The condo was still in the process of being remodeled (which we knew) and the owners were doing a good job. The only complaint was the cleaning prior to our arrival. The floors in the high traffic areas were swept but the balance were dirty/sandy and when we opened the front slider door, the dust bunnies came out of hiding from under the bed and furniture. I think Bender management needs to do more quality control on their cleaning contractors.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was a family get together and we had a great time! The condo's are right on the beach. There is a wood walkway that goes from the pool right to the beach. The condo had a "sea side" feel from the colors of the walls to the decorations.

We would come back again. Thank you
