Communication was superb! Loved that the condo was directly on the beach. The furnishings were spot on - perfect decor for a beach condo. Definitely felt at home here.

Loved our time at this condo! Our first time visiting Gulf Shores and renting from Bender. The process was easy. The condo itself was very clean and had everything we needed except a hair dryer but that was no big deal. The condo was quiet and convenient. Loved everything! Definitely will stay here again. 5 out of 5 stars!

Excellent location with great view of the beach, and the bay behind the condos. Nice warm indoor pool and hot tubs. Walkway yo beach was convenient. Be sure to bring beach towels, extra TP and paper towels, as well as coffee filters and coffee. BenderRealty was easy to work with and close to condo.

Cozy low-key getaway for senior couple with beautiful views of beach and ocean. Short drive to restaurants, shopping, and Gulf Shores Beach. This unit could use a little freshening up, but it was clean and comfortable for us.

We enjoyed our condo. The decor was beautiful. I recommend getting some coasters to sit around to keep people from putting their drinks differently on the furniture. The bathroom connected to the master bedroom needs a new commode. It is old, discolored and very low to the floor. It needs to be handicap accessible. Otherwise everything was great!!

Great condo: well stocked, clean, nicely decorated and comfortable. Loved being on the second floor with beautiful view. Quieter side of Gulf Shores which was very much appreciated. Very easy to get anywhere.

We have stayed in several units at Royal Palms (all of which have been wonderful) but this unit was the best of all! Everything is just as described and pictured, and the views of the beach from the beach facing balcony to the side wrap around were the greatest. The unit itself was spacious and well organized. We felt right at home the minute we walked down the long hallway to the living room. Absolutely wonderful!!!

We had a great trip!! The staff at Bender were very friendly and helpful. The condo is in a great location. Steps away from a beautiful beach. The place was nice and clean and well equipped. We enjoyed many hours relaxing on the balcony and walking along the beach. We hope to return yearly.

Great stay! We love this condo for the enclosed or open balcony overlooking the Gulf. Well stocked kitchen if you want to cook and easy access to restaurants if you don’t. 2 king beds are a plus. Bender is very helpful.

Overall our 28 day stay was enjoyable, beautiful, and relaxing. However, when we first arrived the elevator malfunctioned and we had to use the stairs. It was soon fixed however. The office staff is very helpful with any question or request. Places to eat are bountiful and the beach can't be any closer. Lot of good neighbors.

We left Iowa ahead of the snow and extreme cold to the warmth and beaches of Gulf Shore, AL. Through Bender Realty we were able to rent a lovely and comfortable condo in Royal Palms 503. We had a small problem with the ice maker in the refrigerator but one call to Bender Realty had it resolved immediately. Al of their representatives were courteous and helpful. It was a most enjoyable stay and a great way to celebrate sixty five of marriage.

Such a beautiful home with all the amenities…with a spectacular view…. right on the beach. Lots of room to spread out. You do need to jump in the car every time you want to visit a restaurant or bar. Nothing is within walking distance If you don’t mind that, this place is perfect

Gulf Shores has some of the best beaches on the planet and we had a perfect view from our balcony at Edgewater. Our condo was clean, well appointed, and comfortable. Before we arrived we wondered how an enclosed balcony would be and in our minds it turned out to be a plus. On cooler days and nights we could close the outside doors while still sitting on the balcony enjoying the wonderful views. We would highly recommend this property.
