Large beachfront condo-glass enclosed balcony

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very 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 accommodations were below standard. The bathrooms had black mold. The curtains had black mold spots close to the floor. The beds were very uncomfortable! The internet did not work. I spoke to the manager and she just gives me a runaround. She very condescending during our conversation. I will never use Bender again!

So, as we were approaching Gulf Shores, we were informed that the elevator at Edgewater West was not operating and since we were on the 9th floor we could accept a switch to a smaller unit at lower cost in Sandpiper. We agreed. Bender staff were polite, attentive and efficient throughout our stay. The main purpose of our stay was to assist our 19 yr old granddaughter with her recuperation following hand surgery. We accomplished that. Unexpectedly to us, the National Shrimp Festival was on during our stay. That provided some good entertainment but also meant travel in Gulf Shores was somewhat disrupted. The weather was colder than usual and the Gulf was quite roiled for a couple of days. We ate well, played games, watched TV, got some beach/pool time and enjoyed the time with our family. Definitely a successful trip. No complaints about the unit we switched into.

Large and room, great location . Condo could use some updating and the pool was closed the entire stay so my elderly parents couldn’t enjoy it. Other than that we enjoyed.

Having 3 bathrooms was the best feature of all! The property location was excellent. Some things about the condo need to be updated but it's nice and BIG. Very different from some of the newer condos with tiny bedrooms. Kitchen very well supplied. Plenty of pots, pans, silver ware, etc.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The condo was clean and nice with a perfect view. The screened in balcony was very nice but different. The only negative was the elevator didn't work all the time. We had to walk up and down 9 floors at least 5 times over the five days. My mother, 83, was not able to get out of the room one day because of the elevator not working. The rooms on the 6th floor, either had to walk up to the 7th or down to the 5th, because the elevator could not stop on the 6th floor. All in all, very good experience but fix the elevator. We would stay here again if we knew that the elevator would work.

Condo has a great location. Upgrades need. Disappointed there was only one tv, had a 6 year old who wanted to view his showes and a husband that eanted to watch sports at night. Condo needs a lot of tlc, over priced due to upgrades needed

The views from this condo are perfect! You are within steps of the beach. We loved the glassed in patio. The windows open so you can hear the ocean, but you do not have to go outside or deal with a balcony to experience the views. This was a plus since we have a small child. The condo does need some updating, but it was comfortable for 6 people. If you stay here, you will need to bring your own paper products and cleaners. Two trash bags, one roll of toilet paper per bathroom, and one round of dishwashing detergent was not enough for 5 nights. You are required to wash and put away dishes used so bring paper tableware or more dishwasher soap.

The view was amazing. Beautiful condo with comfy beds and it was clean. Could use a little updating but we loved our stay.. Would definitely stay again..

Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I always rented a unit in Edgewater West because I had wheelchair access to the beach. This year was not the case. I have a granddaughter that is paralized, and she loves the beach. I rent a beach wheelchair from Ike's and have been for years so she could enjoy the beach. This year we could not access the beach. Who do I complain to regarding Edgewater West not providing handicapped accessibility to the beach?
