Beautiful house!! Very spacious! The kitchen had everything you would possibly need for the week. The beverage fridge and the ice maker are a high bonus. The washer and dryer are very fast. I’ve stayed in many houses in the area and this is the best!! I will rent every year if available!!

Great place

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. 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 love Sunset Place with Bender. They are a joy to work with. The house is clean and very spacious for our family while keeping everyone close together. Access to the beach is directly out of the door and in Mid June, it is like having your own private beach. This is our 3rd year and have already booked next year. Our Grandkids are making beautiful memories that will last a lifetime. Thank you to Bender and the owners of the property for having us. We absolutely love it.

Right on the beach

We enjoyed our stay at Sunset Place. It was as advertised. A spacious house right on a quiet stretch of beach. Easy to drive into Gulf Shores for restaurants and groceries, but far enough from the condos to avoid the crowds. We loved eating our meals on the deck watching the ocean. We would stay here again.

Beautiful home with spectacular view

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

Vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. 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: The house was very clean. There were plenty of towels available. The appliances were all up dated and available. The only complaint I have is that we were not aware that leaving a tent and chairs on the beach at night would result in them being taken during the night by the city.
Response from VrboOwner on 24 July 2025
We're so glad you enjoyed your stay in this wonderful beach home. The City of Gulf Shores does have certain beach requirements in order to protect the sea turtles; as such there is signage on Highway 59 and on the beaches to notify beach guests. We hope to have the chance to host you in lovely Sunset Place in the future!

Upon arrival to the unit there was still what appeared to be chicken crust on the rug in the living room and we attempted to vacuum it up but neither of the vacuums worked. The ice maker didn’t work either. Overall, we loved that the balcony had the locking gate on it due to traveling with two toddlers. There was plenty of room for our family and we loved that the unit was located right on the beach!

225 Steps from House to Water - Beautiful & Peaceful

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. 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: Sunset Place has everything we needed for the 7 in our party. The location on the beach was absolutely amazing. You could see for miles and enjoy the waves coming ashore. The extra Cooler for Sunny D - Hawaiian Punch - Sodas was great. The extra ice maker was great - Beds were amazingly comfortable. The washer & dryer were used regularly & glad we had them. We enjoyed the mornings, afternoon, evenings and nights on the beach. One of our sons doesn't like water BUT he said the place was "Awesome!!" Bender Realty Staff was Great & we had NO issues at all with Sunset Place. Thanks & May God Bless!!!

Needs to be cleaned

After we walked in the house, we immediately went to Walmart to purchase some cleaning supplies. Three of us spent over 3 hours mopping the floor and scrubbing the entire first floor. I changed the water halfway through the mopping due to it was just to gross to continue to use. The table, chairs, couch all had to be cleaned before we could bring in our clothes. The upstairs bathroom had soap residue on the ledge and toothpaste down the front of the drawer. We also had to remove the rug under the bed in one of the bedrooms due to the odor. The deck and outside furniture were really nice, and we spent as much time as possible outside. This would be a nice house if it was cleaned. We enjoyed the deck and the beach.

We apologize for the inconvenience of having to deal with cleaning issues and how it negatively impacted your check in experience. Sunset Place is a lovely home, and we regret that insufficient cleaning affected your ability to fully enjoy it. We hope that our refund will in some way make up for your inconvenience. Please reach out when you are ready to return to the Gulf Coast; hopefully in this same wonderful beach home.
