Best Condo

Loved our stay- the condo, the furniture and decor, the location, the pool, and the rental company. It was perfect! Two small negatives: the kitchen isn’t stocked with ANY baking pans at all and the sofa bed is provided with twin sheets instead of full size.. and the mattress on it cannot be used it’s in such poor condition. But overall it was worth it and a great condo!!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved our vacation to Gulf Shores and our stay at this little gem. From the layout that gave us privacy when the kids where sleeping to the balcony and listening to the ocean to the lovely pool a short distance away from the beach to the beach toys for the kids. It was all lovely and we will definitely book again!

Great location, excellent beach access. Condo outdated and dirty. Parking extremely limited and difficult with large SUV. Single fob was inconvenient. Cookie sheet for pizza would’ve been helpful.

Reviewer Comments: ARRIVED TO FIND ROOM LITTERED WITH DIRTY LAUNDRY AL OVER, FLOORS SO DIRTY WHEN WE WALKED ACROSS THEM ARE FEET TURNED BLACK NEEDED A GOOD SWEEPING SAND ALL OVER. FOUND SOMEONES' BEACH TOWELS IN DRYER. BENDER EMPLOYEES NEED TO GET OFF THEIR BUTTS AND PERSONALLY CHECK CONDO'S BEFORE GUESTS ARRIVE SAVES A LOT OF ISSUES

Disappointed

The condo needed a serious cleaning there was hair everywhere. There was only one roll of toilet paper and the garbage bags were small and cheap tearing easily. We didn’t like only being able to have 1 vehicle per condo especially when the parking lot wasn’t even half full. We won’t be returning again.

The sofa bed was stained and dirty and super uncomfortable. Kitchen needed some attention also, no dish towels.The lighting in the condo was very dim... it was hard to see at night. Just needs some upgrades!

No Salt?

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I have not had to rent at Gulf Shores in a long time because we own a condo. I was so shocked that the unit did not have salt and pepper. there was also no soap provided for all sinks to wash your hands. I went to Bender to request ONE soap. The front desk lady was rude and very haughty acting. I never got the soap I requested.also, the floors were very sandy when I arrived.

Left something to be desired

Bender Realty staff was friendly and helpful. However, The Gulf Tower Condo 3b left something to be desired for the following reasons 1-the beach was eroded to half the size of the year before and the rental advertisement did not tell us there was limited beach 2-the white sofa was stained badly with something red. Bender agreed to send a cleaner but we put a quilt over it so we wouldn’t have the disruption 3-one of the two elevators was out of service and the other had a work in progress appearance. 4-the hallway ceiling panels had been removed exposing wiring and other mechanics which gave an appearance that the building was in disrepair 5-the dishwasher easily slid out of its place because it was not installed properly So while my family had fun, we paid more than the accommodations were worth Would I stay at Gulf Tower again? Most likely not.

Ridiculous

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The staff was fine, however, some of the guest was horrible. There was a group of people that was using vulgar profanity, showing their self at the pool. The law was called 6 times on people staying there. The people above us had someone running constantly. Moving furniture constantly. The racket was ridiculous. We have a 1yr old that we couldn't keep asleep at night due to the racket. There was garbage under our beds, under the end table. We were unaware the condo had no tissue so that was a problem. We had no issues checking in or out but we will not be using gender reality again! Due to the issues we do not plan on visiting gulf shores anytime in the future.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We weren’t able to get cell service except in both bedrooms. We use Verizon and that wasn’t the problem. And the only other thing is both bathrooms needed more deep cleaning. The master has mold behind shower curtain and the baseboards in master were terribly dirty. They need to be cleaned. Thanks
