From the start, our experience with Bender Realty was top notch. Everyone was so nice and knowledgeable every time I spoke with them. We were a little confused checking in (our fault) but when we figured it out it was smooth sailing. We picked up our packet and they even offered to let us change clothes in their bathroom so we could enjoy the pool/beach while we waited for our room to be ready. When we got to our room (which was within the quoted time) we were amazed. From the minute we walked inside we felt that this would be a very different vacation. The condo immediately felt like home. The balcony view was amazing! Beach/Oceanfront just as described. The balcony was so roomy and had plenty of furniture for everyone to sit out there together.The fully equipped kitchen was great with dishes, pots/pans, utensils, toaster, coffee maker, pantry space, dishwasher, and a full size refrigerator. I believe it even had a Crock-Pot and electric griddle although we didn't use those.The wagon, beach chairs and beach umbrellas were in great shape and very convenient. We've rented condos before where they were provided but ended up being broken or you needed a tetanus shot before using. However, these were great and we definitely didn't need to bring our own.The washer/dryer were so convenient. Next time, we will pack WAY less clothes but it's such an awesome feeling not having mountains of laundry waiting for you when you get home.The pool/beach were great! They never felt overcrowded. We spent all day and most evenings at the beach. It was so family friendly!We had never been to Gulf Shores so we didn't know what to expect. It was a little too far for us to walk to the Parkway where all the main shopping/restaurants/activities were, but a hop in the car took us no more than 20mins to get anywhere we wanted. We didn't run into much stopped traffic at all.We absolutely loved our experience at Gulf Shores an
