Great location!

Great location, great layout of house and enjoyed the enclosed double glass sliding doors of the balcony. There also had a dining table where we ate all our dinners! A rocking chair where l sat and watched kids play on the beach. Best part for me! Wished we could walk out to the beach from the house instead of taking back stairs. When l booked the listing said "new renovated... pictures coming soon" but it looks like they upgrades furniture but the carpet NEEDS to go. It stunk from the "tried to clean" when we arrived and it felt dirty stepping on it mostly due to the humidity or wetness. That was my one big dislike...l do not like smelly carpets. Told the agent and she had someone come spray it with vinegar. That helped a bit but l literally keep the sliding doors open and fans running all day long till close to midnight. It's hard to keep carpet clean in my own house...l would imagine even harder in a "beach wet vacation house"! For the check-in process - it was ok but we arrived around 11pm instead of asking us to pass by the office to collect keys. I wish the agent could put a lockbox at the house...give us code and we go straight to the house and open lockbox...get keys and at departure put keys in lockbox and back on door and leave. We loved the available kitchen stuff since we made all our meals. And enjoyed the pool areas....nice & clean. So overall we enjoyed the place and our time there!

Love location, love the property mgmt, but don't recommend 1B

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I’ll start by saying I love this building and Bender Realty. The location and proximity to the beach is amazing. The people at Bender are amazing. I’ve stayed at other units in this building it is an older building, the units are older units and usually dated units. We immediately noticed the ceiling fans were dusty like really dusty. There was dried jam still on the kitchen table. I can’t even explain what is going on with the ceilings in bathrooms and kitchen but I spent a hour making sure there weren’t hidden cameras. This unit was just not cleaned properly. It was “dated” as we expected but there was a tub that never drained properly. The hot water lasted 10 mins max in shower. The beds were probably the worst I’ve ever seen in a rental. Good thing we aren’t TV people. We never cook at rentals but I’m sure the Goodwill/2nd hand thrift few items that were in the kitchen would have sufficed. On the plus side lots or drawer space to put your items and amazing views. Great pool and beach access. Don’t rent 1B there are nicer units in this building at same or close to same rate.

Needs updating

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The check in time is very misleading. We had to wait hours past the actual check-in time that was given on the VRBO app. The unit was not clean even though that was the reason given for the longer than normal check-in. The unit is very outdated.

Nice stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Had a nice vacation, it had been 5 years since we had been to Gulf Shores. The only disadvantage was they were working on the condo and elevators and parking spaces was crowded and small
