Check-in/check-out process was flawless. Excellent location/views of the beach/gulf. The pools are maintained well. The condo was clean. The unit is outdated but served our purpose just fine. We would stay here again. Bender Vacation Rentals were excellent to deal with.

Our condo had not been cleaned when we arrived. This was addressed by Bender who moved us to a different condo for the night. However, it was still really inconvenient for us as we had to reload and move all our things to our condo the next morning after it had been cleaned.

Exactly what you want for a beach trip with pets. Our main focus was a place on the beach that was pet friendly. This place delivered! The a/c unit is great. The room was super cold when we arrived we actually had to go up a few degrees which is rare. There’s a lot of space in the living room for great view and just enough kitchen space to not be crammed. I would recommend this to anyone with a pet that wants to travel with the family. Roughly a 32 unit complex give or take with 1 elevator was quite nice. There was no wait at anytime. Also they provided doggie cleanup bags in the lawn area by the road if you forget to bring any. Bender also is in communication throughout your trip even on the weekend if anything is needed. Excellent service. My one knock is it is pet friendly so you can expect some left over dog hair or even sand in random places but not the end of the world.

Location is great!

We loved the location of this property and the access to the beach. The room was a little outdated and the property was not the cleanest. I would advise to bring extra paper towels, toilet paper, trash bags and dish liquid if staying a full week. Having a washer and dryer was a plus! Also they wanted to come in and do pest control while we were there with our pet. I didn’t like the idea of someone from a pest control company having access to our room.

Couch, recliner, beds, appliances, & bedding need updated. Love that it is dog friendly but cost is high for the unit compared to others. It was a last minute trip so very few options that were dog friendly, so took what we could get. Good location. Check-in went fairly well.

This is the sixth time I've stayed in this building, but the first time for this condo. It was clean and the rental company provided everything needed for a great stay. They checked in with us few times to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. The check in process was easy and everything went smoothly. I will stay in this condo again in the future.

Great location on the beach, safe area, nice condo

Overall, we were very pleased with our trip to Golf Shores and our stay at the Caribbean condominiums. The location directly on the beach was nice and in close proximity to much shopping and restaurants. The condo floors could be cleaned much better as they are tile and tend to soil your feet and footwear in a short period of time Utensils and baking dishes. There is a variety, but not the easiest if you enjoy cooking.

Dogs on vacation!

We have gone to Gulf shores for over 28 years, this was the first time in 29 years we did not go with kids. This was the perfect size condo for my husband, 2 small dogs and myself. Bender helped us out with some issues to make sure our stay was great!

Great view

Inspection of property would have revealed sliding glass door was difficult to open/close, shower curtain torn, microwave had window damage which eventually resulted in it quitting altogether. Staff were immediately helpful when advised of issues, replacement staff was quick and efficient. At least 6 people never cleaned up after their dogs, and one less tha 30 # dog was a Rottweiler 😳.

Overall was a good place. The bed was a firm mattress which I prefer a softer one but I did sleep ok. The kitchen is small but very functional for one person. The pots and pans could use an upgrade but I would stay again for that view from the patio!!😍😍

Perfect condo for a couple

We enjoyed our stay very much! The condo was perfect for 2 people. There were additional bunk beds tucked into the hallway wall if needed for additional guests. We enjoyed the balcony. The weather was rainy, stormy and just a little chilly - so we used the balcony most of the time and enjoyed the view despite the weather!
