Great property in a great location. The property is clean, comfortable and exactly as advertised. Bender's service is excellent. Their communication is timely and complete. We had no questions from booking through the entire stay, but Bender made sure we had their number. We'll be renting again soon!

We stayed in a condo at Gulf Shores managed by Bender Vacation Rentals for the week of Thanksgiving. The condo was perfect and Bender was very good with communication and service. We will stay with them again in the future for sure.

This is by far the best of the five Royal Palms condos we’ve stayed at in the past three years. Updated, newer appliances, comfortable furniture, and extremely clean. Only thing we noted was a very creaky bed frame.

Great location. Very easy check-in/out. Convenient for a family vacation with good-sized bedrooms and nice common room with view of the Gulf. Wishing the kitchen to at least have salt/pepper and coffee filters

This was a fabulous property in a perfect location! The online description and photos are completely accurate - the unit was very clean and beautifully decorated, the kitchen was well-stocked, the furniture was comfortable, and the views were fabulous. The property was well-maintained and within walking distance of most anything one would need or want. Bender was responsive and fabulous, too! I highly recommend this property!

Beautiful location and easy to feel at home. The fridge ice didn’t taste the best, but we just got a bag of ice cubes. The balcony was to die for and the open land next door made it feel really special

This is the best rental location in Gulf Shores. Any unit at Royal Palms that ends with "01" has an unobstructed view of the beach, the Alabama State Park pier, and Lake Shelby! We stayed in this unit in 2022 and were disappointed in the overall condition but decided to give it another try. Definitely a GREAT decision. The current owners have done a wonderful job remodeling. (Our only question was, "Why so many breakable glasses in the cabinets?" It would have been nice to have a few more beach friendly glasses.) The new management company, Bender Realty, was professional, friendly, and easy to contact. We would definitely recommend it to other travelers, as long as you don't reserve it for the times we want it!! You won't be disappointed!

We had a great time at the beach celebrating my daughter's 40th birthday and escaping the cold weather in Wisconsin. We loved being able to hear the waves and the short walk to the sand. The condo was just as described with everything we needed in the kitchen to prepare our prime rib roast for Thanksgiving. We would definitely stay here again.

Wow! If I could give a place 6 stars I’d do it! The space was beautiful and had everything anyone might need to enjoy some time at the beach. I appreciated the hosts reaching out frequently to check on my and make sure my stay was good. Already planning a trip back!

Every thing was just as it was stated , clean , comfy and cute ! It reminded us of a homey cottage . Easy access to the beach and was on the less crowded end of beach Blvd! Would definitely stay here again!

We had a perfect Thanksgiving at the beach. The weather was absolutely perfect. The condo could have been a little cleaner. The floors were pretty dirty. Bed was comfy. Didnt stop us from having a good time.

We rented 12C for our niece and her family to visit us at the Beach. They found the Unit comfortable and enjoyed the Sandpiper ecpxperience.
