Nice spot for couples getaway

The location is really nicely convenient to the Hangout and main drag but far enough away to be quiet. The layout is nice but needs a few updates to be top notch.

A Wonderful Beach Stay

My wife and I spent a workweek stay that really made the grade at Gulf Tower on the Gulf Shores Beach! Our rental was conveniently situated on a portion of the beach that almost felt private, involved less traffic and provided unobstructed views of the Gulf. We really desired privacy and were amply rewarded. Bender Properties were very easy to work with and checked on us several times via text messages to make sure we were satisfied. We loved our experience!

Couple Getaway

The room was very clean. Check in was fast and easy. Great view of the ocean. Loved the sunroom. The only complaint was someone before us didn’t wash the dishes very well and the toaster didn’t work. Overall everything was great!

Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy
The room had a great view of the beach and ocean from the balcony. Cleanliness of the unit was terrible! We had to clean before we would move our clothes in. We had to vacuum, clean the floor in the kitchen and bathroom. Also, the linens on the bed were king size and the bed was a queen and the mattress pad was so soiled it had to be replaced. It was shown to the Host! Also, no closet space for someone staying more than one week! I would never rent this unit again and we should get a partial refund for the way the unit was left for us! Also, the furniture was very out-dated! Also, there were holes in the walls and some walls were patched with a different color of paint. Owners need to spend some money and fit it up to make it look presentable!!

Comfy & cozy

My husband & I just wanted a relaxing lazy get-away and we got what we needed. The balcony was great to be able to sit out on no matter what the weather was. There is no washer/dryer or dish washer which was fine since we ate out and didn't want the extra work this trip. The only thing we used the kitchen for was our morning coffee. :p

TWO KEY FOBS TO POOL!!!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We love GT but you GOTTA give at least TWO key fobs to the pool for each condo. It’s RIDICULOUS to have to coordinate every trip back and forth to pool or beach and DETRACTS from the experience. EVERYBODY complains

We loved the glass in balcony. The air worked great. needs some updating. Stove was very old, and the oven didn't work (burned everything wouldn't hold temp). Maint. tried to fix it but so old couldn't get parts for it. Tub wouldn't hold water but maint. brought us a stopper. Not having a washer and drier was a challenge with wet towels and no place to hang them to dry but we managed. overall it's a nice condo and great location if they fix the little things. Stove might not be a deal breaker for some, but we like to cook breakfast and lunch in our room.

Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Only 3 towels @ washcloths for 3 women for 3 nights. Could hear water from other rooms (sounded like we had leak) Wasn’t told only one vehicle per unit was allowed. You can’t grill nor smoke when raining; bc there isn’t a cover to stand under.

Vacation

Our first time at Gulf Shores and we were not aware of them renovating our condo. We were told it was ready for us. Exposed wires in hallway and in our bathroom, elevators were being worked. Most all outlets were useless because the plug ins wouldn’t stay plugged in very loose. Bed was falling apart and some of the light switches didn’t work properly. Overall the location was nice, right on the beach, beautiful view from our room balcony, had a nice pool, wasn’t very far from shops and restaurants.
