Right on the beach! Great, spacious balcony with wonderful views. Condo was older but very clean and had everything we needed. Master bedroom had the most comfortable bed I've ever slept on in a rental!

Came for Sand in my Boots Music festival. About a mile away great view of the Gulf. Easy access to everything we needed within walking and driving distance. Property management is great to work with and easy to get a hold of. Will definitely be rebooking.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: 5/5 starsI booked this condo because of its proximity to the beach, pet-friendly accommodations, and cost. Overall it was a great experience! You cannot beat the beach views from the balcony which may have been the best part for us. Getting to the beach could not have been easier. All we had to do was go downstairs and boom, access to the beach. We also enjoyed the pool and sauna. Really the only complaint may have been the outdated & small “gym.” We pre-booked for next year and can’t wait to enjoy this property again.

Yellowbird Too was an amazing property. My Dad can not do stairs and the elevator wasa life saver. Every room was very private and everyone had their own space. Loved the stairs and seating in the pool. I would recommend this property.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our first experience with Bender Realty and I have to say it has been the best with any company so far. They were easy to reach, handled everything in a professional manner, were super nice and supportive. My husband is handicapped and the accommodations were great even tho we did not request anything additional. There were 6 of us and the size was perfect.The kitchen was WELL stocked, the best I've seen. We didn't have to bring anything. We will be back.

Rating Details: The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: AS usual the stay at Clearwater 6D was another great experience. Everything in 6D was clean as a pin. A couple of things I'd like to mention is that the WiFi password on the green info paper was not correct. The correct Password is on the info paper attached to the refrigerator. Also someone had removed the control knob on the oven and replaced it in the wrong position causing the oven to operate at a different temperature than indicated. other than that the stay was wonderful and we will be back.

This was the perfect place for a family vacation! We stayed for 6 days and really enjoyed this place! The view from the balcony is perfect and not as obstructed by the trees as the pictures show. Had a very clear view of the ocean. The condo was very clean and well stocked. The only problem we encountered was the balcony door not locking but bender realty (the owners) is right across the street and very helpful. Someone was sent out that day to fix it. Also worth adding, the water is extremely close to the condo. My mother has bad knees and the water being so close was a relief for her. The bridge over the dunes is very short and it’s only a few steps from there to the water. The balcony is spacious and the sounds of the ocean are loud and clear. I’ve stayed at many condos up and down the coast and this was one of the most peaceful relaxing stays I’ve ever had. 10/10 recommend. And much thanks to Bender Realty for being so helpful and responsive the entire stay.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our stay at Life’s a Beach in Gulf Shores, booked through the exceptional Bender Realty Team, was truly delightful. From the friendly and efficient staff who promptly answered all our questions, to the remarkable property itself, everything exceeded expectations. The high-quality online photos, while accurate, didn't fully capture how wonderful the home truly is. We especially enjoyed the breathtaking views from the multilevel deck, which became our favorite spot for evening moon gazing. The elevator was an unexpected but incredibly useful amenity for managing luggage and groceries. Furthermore, the spacious and well-appointed bedrooms, each with firm mattresses, ample pillows, and private baths, ensured everyone's comfort. We also appreciated that almost every bedroom had access to one of the two decks. The impressive first-floor amenities, including lounging areas, game tables, a convenient half bath, and two full-size refrigerators, added another layer of convenience, especially with the ability to secure our beach gear. The home was impeccably clean and perfectly prepared for our 7-night vacation.

The location is amazing and the view is gorgeous. The mattress was a little uncomfortable. There is a slop I to the middle and was a bit hard on my back.

The entire experience was great. The communication was excellent from the time of booking until the day we left to head back home. We stayed at Surf Side Shores and the unit was immaculate and very comfortable. Very clean, wonderful beachside views. We will definitely be booking through Bender again in the future!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We spent our 20th Anniversary at Royal Palms 601. This was our 4th stay in Gulf Shores with Bender Realty, friendly staff as usual and we loved meeting Mac. Shout out to the owners who provide a personal touch for your calm and peaceful setting for the stay. The high-top table and chairs were great for the viewing the dolphins in the surf and the watching the storms roll through. We will see you next year!

Everything was clean and many amenities made available to us.Condo super convenient to elevator, especially since my husband and I are partially disabled. Only con was we couldn’t find the access to beach which was advertised just across street.

Overall, we were very pleased with our trip to Golf Shores and our stay at the Caribbean condominiums. The location directly on the beach was nice and in close proximity to much shopping and restaurants. The condo floors could be cleaned much better as they are tile and tend to soil your feet and footwear in a short period of time Utensils and baking dishes. There is a variety, but not the easiest if you enjoy cooking.

This is the 2nd time I've stayed in #247 Sugar Beach condo and absolutely adore it. It's a pretty side view of the beach but one is able to watch the waves. The studio has everything you need, comfortable for 1-2 people. I was impressed how clean and tidy it was. The only flaw is the sliding glass door to patio needs to have some WD-40 on the track and lock replaced. This studio condo is ideal located on the beach, 4 swimming pools, a tennis court and the Sugar Shack is open for food, snack, and drinks. The communication with Bender Vacation Rentals was great and easy to get a hold of (I didn't have any issues with condo so I don't know how communication is after hours). I'm looking forward to booking #247 again next year!! I adore Sugar Beach condos!

My wife and I stayed here for our baby moon and this condo was perfect for us! The location is convenient to everything in Gulf Shores and Orange Beach, the views are great, and the condo/beach is not overly crowded like some of the other larger buildings. We would definitely stay here again!

We had a terrific family of 11 vacation in Yellowbird Too last week~. Great location & peaceful beach area. When we had a question or asked for something, they responded quickly. Thank you .
