It was wonderful. If for any reason we contacted Bender Realty and their response was very prompt. Their technicians were all very kind, always had a smile on their faces and acted in a professional way.

It's always a marvelous March getaway to remind our bodies, and brains, that it's time once again to start making ourselves so humbly miserable on the golf course for the next five months. We torture ourselves so we can go back again the next day! After a fun round, dining and toddies in the Gulf Shores area is the icing on the day. We've just completed our sixth year in the same unit and wouldn't dream of going anywhere else!

Sandpiper 8B is definitely a great location. Being an end unit it had a private balcony with a porch swing right off the master bedroom looking onto the beach. Local restaurants are a short drive or for those not as lazy as myself would be easily accessible via walking. We also made a short trip to Pensacola to watch the Blue Angels practice one day and saw dolphins in the Gulf while at our condo so money well spent. The only negative, and it is extremely minor, was the unit needed more teaspoons as there were only three which was a pain with two small children. Parents will understand but few others would be bothered by it! Overall, looking forward to staying again in the same unit eventually.

We enjoyed a full week in June 2016 at Tropical Winds 104. The view from the patio was outstanding, and the accessibility to the beach was terrific. Linens, washer & dryer, kitchen cooking utensils, and pots-and-pans were all included. Late hour and early hour noise from the pool and patio was minimal. The local grocery store, liquor store, and pizza restaurant is just down the street. Most importantly, my family felt secure. We will stay here again, and recommend this location.

The unit was great and spacious, furniture was nice and well looked after and overall was ideal for our family of 7. Minor housekeeping issues such as cobwebs in corners of Bathrooms and dirt on the fold out sleeper sofa. The interior of the Unit is very nice the balcony does feel a little older and the door frames are starting to wear away/ rusted.The Bender office staff are amazing and all wonderful!!!!The pool is a little small when there are more than 10 people in there and lounge chairs are limited.Thanks You

The staff were very nice and professional. The air conditioning wasn't working and they sent someone over right away. Was even fixed on a Sunday. We had a great time. Only thing I would recommend is the condo have chairs on the beach. That was the only thing we missed having. Will definitely be back and stay at this condo!!

We had a good stay. The condo was clean and roomy. Everything was in good condition and close to all areas.Really thought it might be nice to update the decorations and such. everything is a bit dated but this did not affect the use or enjoyment of our stay.One suggestion would be to provide a few basic cleaning supplies, something to clean the counter tops and glass surfaces and stove top. We actually cooked most of our meals and dishwater works OK but a better spay cleaner would be nice.Thank you for a great time.

We had another great year at Hangout Fest, and had another perfect condo from Bender. Beach front, one mile from the festival. Condo was in great shape, everything worked, was clean, etc. Thanks, as always, for a great time!

We had such a wonderful time. The kids loved the bunk beds. My husband and I loved waking up and having coffee on the balcony while watching and listening to the waves crash in the morning. Out days was spent on the beach and at the pool which was so much fun and relaxing at the same time. The one day we had rain the kids enjoyed the indoor pool. We made friends with other families and their kids and they played everyday which also kept them out of our hair for entertainment. Our bed was so comfortable that I missed it when I got home. Lol. It was just perfect for our family. We will for sure be back I believe every year. It was bittersweet to leave. Thank you so much.

We had a great time just like we do every year! My family loves this place that they don't wanna leave. We love BBQ out by the pool. We love the short distant to the beach. Nothing like waking up to coffee and the beautiful view while the kids sleep in. We have such a fun and relaxing time. The local food restaurants are so delishes. Can not express enough love!!!!

The weather was prefect , the condo was great as always..... We spent 2 full days at the pier and saw everything imaginable in the waater esp. at night, and the morning we were leaving I actually got to watch the Great Turtle volunteers release baby sea turtles into the gulf . There is no better place than Gulf Shores and The Royal Palms . We'll be back in May :)The Ladies at Bender Reality are the best we've ever dealt with anywhere .

We stayed in the studio apartment and absolutely loved it. The three of us (husband, wife and daughter) were able to share quality time together in the open space. The kitchen was surprisingly larger than we anticipated and the Refrigerator was full size, not dormitory. We were quite pleased with the room, the location, the convenience to restaurants, shopping and grocery stores. We would definitely return. Our only complaint would be the size of the parking lot.

Everything was simple and everyone we had to deal with was very polite. We did not like the ceiling in Gulf Tower 1C in the kitchen and bathroom areas. The water pressure in the shower was painfully strong. Other than that, we loved it there.
