Maintenance and staff was so friendly and responsive for everything !!! Can never get that when we are on vacation elsewhere. Love that they was attentive! Thank you for all the help. The house was located near the beach. Walking distance. Just like they said. Home was nice.

We stayed at the Perky Pelican with our kids and grandkids for 4 nights. There was lots of space and the location was perfect. The beach is a couple of blocks and multiple places to eat and shop a short distance away.
We spent most of our time in the outdoor living space below the house and the pool area. We cooked most of the meals and the kitchen appliances and utensils were plentiful.
We did have a slight issue but they took care of us right away. We would stay here again if we come back
To Gulf Shores.

It was a great place for our extended family of parents, kids and grandchildren. We spent most of our time in the outdoor space and had a great time. Kitchen was well appointed and there was plenty of room for all of us. They were very responsive when we reached out about an issue and we appreciated that. We would stay here again.

Everything that was advertised was delivered. No complaints.
Bender was very easy to work with. If we go back to g.s. we will rent from them again.

This beach house is wonderful! We had a great time & really enjoyed the house. It’s an easy short walk to the beach.
Having a private pool was great! Grandkids loved the outside dock decor.
Great location. Just a short drive to restaurants, entertainment and shopping.
Well maintained. Very clean but needs a deep cleaning.
All four bedrooms are spacious. Beds were very comfortable, clean soft sheets. We all slept very well. It’s a very quiet area. We were never woken up by loud people, horns, sirens, loud music etc..
The kitchen/living area is spacious. We never felt crowded with all 9 of us in the area. Loved the large tall dining table. We could all sit around it comfortably.
Some did not like being in kitchen/living area at night because there are no blinds. They felt like they were in a fish bowl with no privacy.
We had one small issue one evening and first thing the next morning it was fixed.
We would definitely stay here again.

The house was awesome..although we were told we had to wait on the inspector. We parked at the house and some of went to the inspector ever came..then sent code 2.45..we were told we could have early check-in since it was empty. I found 2 bugs on the counter and broken tile in the master bedroom. I have pictures..otherwise we enjoyed the house and the pool.. not pleased with
Bender communication .

We just returned from a week’s vacation at the Perky Pelican. It was a beautiful, clean house with an awesome pool and outdoor area. The location is just a short walk to a public beach access area. Our interaction with Bender Realty was super throughout the whole process. We even asked for an iron on a Sunday, and it was delivered within the hour. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again!
P.S. A variety of places we enjoyed: Jesse’s On The Bay, Louisiana Lagniappe, Lulu’s, Cobalt, Big Beach Brewing, Mud Bugs, The Keg, Tacky Jack’s at Perdido Bay, The Gulf, Zeke’s

The house was perfect for location to the beach and other necessities! We rented bikes for the week which was awesome for exploring the neighborhood. Loved the pool, I don’t think my family can vacation without one now! Only recommendation I have is for minor maintenance to the house, such as fixing loose cabinets and drawer coverings,, we had an accident with one that could have been prevented! Otherwise, we had a great stay and would consider returning!
