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!

We loved the appartment overall it was comfortable and very convenient. One criticism is the garbage disposal doesn't work and the sink drains into the dishwasher and leaks out of the dishwasher. The appartmenr had an ac issue during the stay that was promptly resolved. We had a fantastic stay and would come again.

Everything was great. This was our first family vacation with our kids and grandparents. We had everything to cook with and wash our sandy clothes in. We really enjoyed our stay. The company texted me making sure everything was ok and if anything needed our attention. We requested an early check in and we got it as well. “Hope” was also very helpful when we were planning our trip. She gave me all the information I needed and made me feel comfortable.

Fantastic location and the interaction with the property management was good. The condo is nice but a bit outdated - meaning it could use some painting and general maintenance. My biggest complaint regarding the condo was the lack of a blackout curtain in the bedroom. Since the exterior lighting by the elevator is on all night, this caused the bedroom to have a lot of light - even with the blinds drawn and curtains closed. Overall, it was a great experience and would recommend it to everyone.

My wife and I spent a workweek stay that really made the grade at Gulf Tower on the Gulf Shores Beach! Our rental was conveniently situated on a portion of the beach that almost felt private, involved less traffic and provided unobstructed views of the Gulf. We really desired privacy and were amply rewarded. Bender Properties were very easy to work with and checked on us several times via text messages to make sure we were satisfied. We loved our experience!

Staff were pleasant. Location was good. The condo was nice. Decor was nice as well. It is in need of some updates - furniture has seen better days, tile is older, but for our purposes it was fine.

Master room with balcony door, the door needs replacing the weather stripping was poorly attached and door very hard to shut and stay locked as the deadbolt won’t work. Also the condo definitely needs to be upgraded it’s been exactly same carpeting and mattresses

We loved the place and it was perfect for us. Unfortunately the prices keep going up and we’re not sure how long we can keep renting with finding another couple to come down with us.

Clearwater 4C value exceeded what we paid. Most other 1BR units in area were significantly higher. Very clean and everything worked great. Unit was pretty and decorated nicely. Relaxing to be in. The recliner chair was good touch. Nothing tore up. Shower/tub is a little skinny. Nice hot water. Good views of beach/Gulf. Washer and dryer are great and very handy. Washer is noisy, just throw your load in while out. We don't walk, but food and entertainment were close. There are no ceiling fans so you may want to bring a fan. Bender Rentals was great to work with made things very easy on their part. Very good unit and I would rent again.

Great place to stay. We are already talking about planning our trip for next year! The condo was right on the beach. Easy to get to. Only issue we had was the bed sheets had hair on them.

This was our second time staying at Royal Palms unit 503. The condo is great. Love the instant access to the beach. This property is the last one as you're heading out of Gulf Shores towards Orange Beach. This location makes for a quiet almost secluded location. We've not had any issues with the condo and communication with Bender is perfect! I highly recommend using Bender Vacation Rentals for your vacation plans. Actually, i gave their information to 3 different couples while we were there this time!

We have rented through Bender for several years now, a couple of different properties/condos (some I prefer over others; I know that Bender does not manage the property complex though so any complaints I might have about the complex and its policies, I won't include). Bender has always been accommodating, allowing early check in when available, which I appreciate and always responsive to any concerns. I will continue to book thru Bender.

BHive will see me again! It was only a few miles from all the restaurants and shops and right across the street from the beach. You can't see the sand but you can see the water and hear the waves! The porch is perfect to sit on all day and night (which we did!). BHive fit 3 people very comfortably and we could've easily had more guests! The inside is so roomy and cozy. The hosts were super responsive and so accommodating! 10/10 recommend!
