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: We had a great week. The place is very clean and well maintained. We have stayed here before and love the location. Bender was helpful when there were issues with a large group of drunk adults with kids who were constantly running and screaming at all hours of the day and night. Aside from this group being a thorn in the side of most of the guests the whole week we had a great experience.

It was an absolutely stunning and comfortable condo that truly felt like home for the week. 10/10 would recommend and would love to come back some day!!!

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: We loved 1B! I want to reply to some of the negative reviews: we went to spend time on the beach, not the condo. It was well equipped with everything we needed. It was very clean when we arrived, but then we don’t look to find things wrong either. The hot water and tubs not draining- the amount of water that came out of the shower heads was crazy strong! The tubs drain could not possibly keep up with that amount of water, which is why they don’t drain properly. This is also the reason hot water ran out quickly. We adjusted the water temp so that it would last longer. Bender’s were very nice and responsive if we needed anything also. We would definitely stay there again!

We had a great week! The condo was in an awesome location for our family. We enjoyed being able to have the door open and hear the ocean, and getting to the condo was a breeze. Awesome amenities, a really great place to stay!! Will definitely be back!

The condo was completely spotless! Maintenance was perfect. We loved sitting on the balcony enjoying the ocean in the mornings and evenings during our stay. The kitchen made it fun to do some of our own cooking together. The living room was perfect for relaxing and it was a nice surprise to also have a full selection of tv channels. The king size bed was great, and so comfortable because of the memory foam mattress topper Could be the days of sand and sunshine, but I think that bed made it easy to get a good night’s sleep. We would love to come back someday! Thanks for sharing your lovely place as a rental!

As always, we enjoyed our stay at Gulf Tower! The owner was very accommodating. We asked for a new mattress and a couple of days later, a new mattress was delivered. A few updates had been made, such as painting, a new patio set for the balcony. Some decluttering had also been done, giving the condo a much neater look. We have rebooked for Jan. and Feb. 2026!

Amazing space! Beautiful scenery! We felt right at home at Sunset Place! Had all the amenities of home and we absolutely loved the extremely short walk out the door to the beach. Close to everything but far enough away that you don’t hear the hustle and bustle of the traffic. Will definitely stay here again!

The location is really nicely convenient to the Hangout and main drag but far enough away to be quiet. The layout is nice but needs a few updates to be top notch.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. 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: The ease of this trip started at the very beginning with our initial interaction with Bender. They were easy to communicate with, answer questions and get additional feedback from the owners. As for the rental, while an older unit, the 'Hive has been kept in very good condition and was clean upon our arrival. Everything one would need for a home away from home was provided except for the food. The view of the beach/gulf from the front porch was very relaxing and you are close enough to the water that you could hear the surf every night. While this was during spring break season, the area was not near as rowdy as one would expect and perfect for the family. I can't thank the owners enough to allow our pets to come along, as they enjoyed themselves as well. We will definitely look to Bender for planning our next trip to the beach.

We have visited Gulf Shores many times over the years and the Sandpiper is now at the top of the list for accommodations! Great spot on the beach, easy to find, nicely kept building, landscaping and pool area. Our kids especially loved the heated pool! We had a lovely, relaxing spring break. We will definitely return!

Everything was just like pictures showed, we arrived a couple hours earlier than check in when we called they made sure everything was cleaned and ready and were able to get us the code within 15 minutes. Beach access is right across the street, convenience store/restaurant/ice cream shop across the street. Great place to stay!
