Royal Palms is in an excellent location with a balcony and a beach view from all units and the beach has never been uncomfortably crowded. The resort is the last one on the beach going East to Orange Beach. The Bender staff have always been exceptionally courteous, helpful and professional. Their check in and out is so easy and convenient. We have enjoyed our times there and don't believe any other could be better than Bender Rentals and the variety of their properties for your stay in Gulf Shores.

We absolutely loved our stay at Memory Maker! The home was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had everything we needed for a relaxing beach getaway. The location was perfect, just a short walk to the private beach and right by the pool. We enjoyed morning coffee on the porch and grilled dinner under the carport after a day in the sun. The bedrooms were super comfortable, and having a bathroom for each one was a big plus for our group. The bedding and pillows were so comfortable. You can really tell the owners thought of every detail. We can’t wait to come back. This place truly lives up to its name!

We had a LOVELY time - the weather, company and accommodations were great! Some of the furnishings were dated, but everything still worked. As they were leaving, our friends mentioned that the door to the hallway bathroom was hard to close and did not stay closed. They also said the hot water handle on the bathroom sink leaked. I would've called you from there if I knew it before we left!

The communications before, during and after was impressive. There was never a time that we didn’t know what was going on to what we needed to do which is always a big part of going to a new place. The cleanliness of the facility was exceptional and the beeches were wonderful.

This spot was amazing! It's just a short beach walk away from the Hangout and other restaurants. Since this condo building is the last resort on that stretch of beach, it was much less crowded and quiet. We really loved the condo and the location. There was a huge closet near the pool with so many beach toys, chairs, boogie boards - so our kids always had so much to play with at the beach, that we didn't have to purchase - which was so nice! The cleaning and paper products provided are very limited, so if you are staying for more than just a few days, you'll have to purchase them on your own. But that was minor. We loved it and would definitely return.

Check-in/check-out process was flawless. Excellent location/views of the beach/gulf. The pools are maintained well. The condo was clean. The unit is outdated but served our purpose just fine. We would stay here again. Bender Vacation Rentals were excellent to deal with.

It’s a great place to stay! Loved it being right on the beach… only problem i have is it’s a little outdated for the price we had to pay for 3 nights was ridiculous high especially in the fall. There was no where else on the beach that we could book last minute so we chose this one.

The condo has been updated some since the pictures were taken. Now the color schemes are more neutral. The painted walls are sea mist color and beige furniture. The bed in the bedroom is a king size, not queen as listed in description. The kitchen appliances do need some updating still. Overall, it is a nice condo with a great location and beautiful view. Bender was great to work with.

Love Royal Palms. We've stayed in this building in the past but upgraded to a corner 2 bedroom this year with Bender. Fantastic room with upgraded appliances and granite countertops, VERY clean (I'm incredibly picky with cleanliness), great communication with them, overall a wonderful experience. Everything worked perfectly, AC blows cold and the washer/dryer both worked, which is a rarity lately in other places. The balcony is great! Loved the views out of the windows facing the beach. The location is perfect since it's in the center of both Orange Beach and Gulf Shores. Highly recommend!!
