Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We made a last-minute decision to go to Gulf Shores because our daughter and family were going. The penthouse was the only unit available. It is a very nice unit but much too big for the two of us. It is also quite pricey. The view of the beach from the wraparound balcony was lovely. We normally vacation off-season at our favorite condo on Padre Island, Texas. We did not enjoy the in-season crowds at Gulf Shores with the bumper to bumper traffic, crowded restaurants and would not do it again. We thought it unusual that the facility, especially considering the price of the units, required guests to provide their own toiletries, toilet paper, dish detergent, and we did not realize that we were required to also bring our own trash bags. Our condo on Padre supplies all of these plus "refills," as well as clean towels whenever needed. They also pick up our garbage when placed outside of our door and leave replacement trash bags. It was convenient to have a washer and dryer in the unit. We were surprised, however, that we were required to wash, dry and put up dishes and utensils before we left. It was obvious that previous guests had perhaps put up dishes which had not been adequately washed. Management should be responsible for insuring that dishes and utensils are sanitary and not leave it up to guests. We washed the dishes before we used them in addition to after use. The staff at the Bender office was extremely friendly and helpful. We were greeted at the condo by a very nice gentleman, Mike, who helped us bring in our luggage and supplies. Overall, the experience was pleasant, but we think we will continue to vacation off-season at our perfectly nice but much more reasonably priced condo on Padre.
