I just returned from a vacation to Gulf Shores. We stayed in a beautiful property managed by Bender Vacation Rentals and would definitely stay with them again. This location was fabulous and I did actually have to contact Bender a couple of times before our trip to make some changes and ask a few questions. Every single time, whether Misty, Hope or another person, they were very friendly, helpful and quick to answer. They keep in contact with you during your stay as well with information on how to contact them if you have problems or would like to extend your vacay. I had great experiences for this whole vacation, with the actual property, Bender and VRBO. I definitely would use them again.

Reviewer Comments:
The property was very well kept up and the only way I can explain the was like a big hug. We did not feel like we were in a sterile vacation home. It felt rustic in a good way. The room was very nice and clean in our bed was so comfortable. We didn’t feel like we had slept on a rock all week. We’re most places we have stayed. We had issues with. The only negative I can say is I wish there was a bathroom on the property by the pool. I have bad knees and it was hard to go up to flights of stairs every time we have to use the restroom. We will definitely be back for many years.

This beach house is wonderful! We had a great time & really enjoyed the house. It’s an easy short walk to the beach. Having a private pool was great! Grandkids loved the outside dock decor. Great location. Just a short drive to restaurants, entertainment and shopping. Well maintained. Very clean but needs a deep cleaning.All four bedrooms are spacious. Beds were very comfortable, clean soft sheets. We all slept very well. It’s a very quiet area. We were never woken up by loud people, horns, sirens, loud music etc..The kitchen/living area is spacious. We never felt crowded with all 9 of us in the area. Loved the large tall dining table. We could all sit around it comfortably.Some did not like being in kitchen/living area at night because there are no blinds. They felt like they were in a fish bowl with no privacy.We had one small issue one evening and first thing the next morning it was fixed.We would definitely stay here again.

We had a fantastic stay at this condo. I initially booked for 3 days and 4 nights, but the host reached out before our trip and offered a discounted rate to stay an extra day—which was such a thoughtful gesture and made our trip even better.
The unit was spotless and in a great location—right by the stairs and pool, which was super convenient. Washer, dryer, and AC all worked perfectly, and there were even cleaning supplies available if we needed them. When we needed an extra parking pass, the host had no problem accommodating us.
What really stood out was the communication—they checked in every day to see if we needed anything, which made us feel genuinely cared for. Highly recommend this Airbnb—great experience from start to finish with zero complaints. Would definitely stay here again!

The property was beautiful and clean. The support center immediately responded. My kids loved the pool. We love properties on the beach. We could sit in the condo and look out at the ocean waves and then quickly walk outside and be on the beach within seconds.

This was our first time staying in Gulf Shores. We loved Gulf Shores. The condo is in a perfect location. Beautiful views of the beach, near restaurants, etc. The condo was comfortable, quiet and clean. The beach was not crowded and we used the chair and umbrella service for the Tropic Isle condos. We would recommend this condo. We hope to come back.

Very clean unit, not a speck of sand so we surely tried to keep it that way. Building is a little dated, but the great access to beach made up for that. This particular unit had updated kitchen, showers, and bedroom furniture. Be sure to read what you’ll need to purchase for your stay (only one trash bag provided, one roll of toilet paper per bathroom, etc). Lots of restaurants and shops nearby. We stayed here during my daughter’s volleyball tournament in Foley, and the drive there was about 20 min. Definitely worth it to get a few beach days in! Overall, we would stay here again!

We enjoyed our stay at Sunset Place. It was as advertised. A spacious house right on a quiet stretch of beach. Easy to drive into Gulf Shores for restaurants and groceries, but far enough from the condos to avoid the crowds. We loved eating our meals on the deck watching the ocean. We would stay here again.

For the last 6 years, we have been staying a mile down the road at another condo. After last years stay, we decided to give another place a try. Im extremely glad we found 5517 at Seaside Beach and Raquet Club! We had great views of the gulf as well as the main pool and walkway. The rooms was spotless upon our arrival as well. The rest of the facility was well kept and managed. We can't wait to come back next year.
