Overall, it was great!

Check-in & out process was easy. Other guests/residents at the condo were friendly. Location & view from balcony were amazing. The unit could be a little cleaner though. Our son found a used dry shampoo bottle in one of the bunk beds (which makes me wonder if the sheets were even washed), and there was pink soap scum in the shower.

Perfect location

This is a the perfect location for an incredible view and beach access! We really loved the fact that the Royal Palms property is on the "end" of a long line of condos and hotels. We just walked diwn the boardwalk and turned left and enjoyed a long stretch of beach between Royal Palms and The Gulf State Park Pier! We relaxed on the beach, looked for shells(my favorite activity), and walked in the sand with the ocean washing up on our feet! The condo is well stocked and comfortable and very beautifully decorated! I will definitely book at Royal Palms again!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Really enjoyed our time at Gulf Shores in Royal Palms 503. We had six people in this condo which was a bit tight, but worked for the small amounts of time we were in it. Ocean view was beautiful...saw dolphins every morning and evening.

Last minute find

Being that we already had a trip booked and paid for through Flipkey that we were told at the last minute we didn’t have and would need to make other arrangements, this place was a lifesaver. First of all, HUGE shout out to the ladies of Bender Realty because the were HELPFUL & AMAZING!! We traveled over ten hours to be told our first condo was no longer available (did get refunded) and we found this place. Secondly, new condo was in a great area. It’s at the east end of Gulf Shores closest to the state park which was nice because not as many people. The ladies let us go ahead and check in a little early because they knew what trouble we had been through. Our family had a wonderful time in the condo, the check in was easy, the location was awesome and even the clean up and check out was convenient. Will definitely use Bender for future trips and highly recommend these folks!!

Simple but yet great for our needs!

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: This was a last minute trip for us, so we had very little expectations and preparation to the trip. I took my 3 kids (16,11,2) for a "get out of the cold" vacation. We stayed for 4 nights between Christmas through New Years & were pleasantly surprised by the weather. The best thing about this cute little condo for us was the location. We loved having easy access to the pier and the low crowds due to the state park made it very peaceful. No obstructed views here & that part was lovely. The indoor pool and hot tub (VERY hot and almost unable to get in it) made a nice addition to our wind down routine each night. The layout worked perfectly for us as well. I feel like the kitchen could have had a few more basics available (like a salt shaker and a few coffee filters) mainly for that first day. We didn't overly pack for this trip like most, but I would have loved to have had the ability to make a pot of coffee that first morning before running to the store. I'm not sure I have ever stayed somewhere that didn't have at least the few basic items, but we made due. We expected the unit to be a bit dated due to the pictures, so that part didn't bother us. The beds were very comfy and the shower/water pressure was a plus for the girls :) It could use a good deep clean to target the tile and floors/corners, but again that is something that is to be expected for an older unit. Overall, we would stay here again for a quick getaway! The property manager was wonderful and texted to always make sure we were ok and provided helpful tips for checking and check out, but didn't blow us up :) The trip was simple, stress free, and easily coordinated- so we couldn't ask for much more than that!

Love it!

This is our 3rd time staying in the Royal Palms and each time has been wonderful! This condo was clean, and the view from that balcony was beautiful. The only thing I think they should upgrade is the king sized bed- a little lumpy, but other than that, great condo for that price point! Will stay here again.

Gulf shores extended 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 somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The management staff at Bender were excellent. Always helpful and very pleasant to talk with. And had excellent follow thru. Can’t say enough about them. There are things that if I owned that condo would fix and update. That would be the owners decision. I am not sure if they stay here or is it an investment. With just a little investment it could be a very nice property. One other issue that I would suggest to the owners, there is not sealing around the door. When the wind blows it is VERY loud. You can also see light all around the door. It was annoying when the wind was blowing hard. Just updates that would help make this a nice place to stay.

Love the location

The location was perfect. It is on the less crowded side of the beach with plenty of room. There was a nice beach vendor that rented chairs and umbrellas. We loved that it was next door to the state park. We brought our bikes and rode many miles on the trails. we also rode to everything else like dinner. The condo was clean and very cozy for my husband and I. The only reason I didn't give the cleanliness 5 stars was that I don't think they regularly mop the floors. My feet were black from walking barefoot.
