Tropical Winds 104 — Guest Reviews

We had three couples. It was roomy and comfortable for all of us. We loved the location. It met our needs.

Loved the condo! So perfect to be on the beach and to have the pool as an option.

Master bed mattress needs replaced Twin beds were short sheeted , used set from sleeper sofa. We had a great stay at the beach, Bender Staff is great

We had a great trip.

Overall we had an absolutely amazing time and it was beautiful. The beach, the pool and the sleeping arrangements were as described. Our biggest disappointment was in the lack of cleanliness of the condominium. From the moment we arrive, we noted in multiple areas there was a lack of cleanliness with respect to the floors and despite the fact that there are no pets allowed, the rugs and carpets smell this though animals have been sleeping there. The washer and dryer struggled to meet our needs. Multiple pots and pans were either broken or cracked, but there were still plenty of them for us to make do. This is our sixth time staying in the specific unit, and we are probably not going to return unless assured these issues are addressed.

Good coordination on rental process by Bender Realty.

the condo was great so close to the beach hope we can get it next year Bender Rantals was great to work

A little outdated, but all in all good experience with Bender. TVs are not the best when you actually use Dish.

The unit needs some updating inside and out. There was mold on the outside of the door and the inside of the unit needs painting. There was almost no beach.

The condo is amazing! It was clean and very well-equipped. The view was great!

Working with the Bender staff was a good experience. Very professional in all dealings. Rental unit is in a good location with a nice beach front. Furniture in the unit is worn (to be expected in a rental) but not much time is spent indoors anyway. It was a great week overall and we hope to do it again.

We have stayed at this location on two occasions. Each time we were very pleased with the condo. We will be staying again. My only compaint is I wish I had known the ramp out to the beach had been damaged by hurricane because my son cannot walk in sand due to injury and it would have made it easier for him to get to the water. Hopefully it will be repaired before our next visit.

This was one of best places we have stayed in Gulf Shores. The location was awesome. And the condo was very nice. We would definitely stay again!

Overall the condo was very functional and comfortable. I do however have some simple suggestions for more convenience. A chair, bench or luggage rack in each bedroom to place things on, and over the door hooks in the bathrooms for towels, swimsuits, etc. My family enjoyed their stay and I would recommend this condo to others.

When we arrive it appeared everything was clean but not so as you looked closer....window dirty, roaches every where (at leased they were dead) went to use dishes everyone we pull out to use was dirty. Floor in master bedroom was wet. For what you are charged for cleanup for the next person to enjoy then you should have the same consideration.

Condo was exceptional. Floor plan was ve5ru roomy an very well laid out. Everything we needed was provided. Smaller Condo building so beach area and pool was never overcrowded. Will stay again. Betty at Bender was extremely helpful

Was a great experience. Tv would blink on and off till it was warmed up but if that's my only complaint, and it is, then I had a great stay

Beautiful condo with a beautiful balcony overlooking the ocean. We watched Dolphins every morning from the balcony. Very well equipt. Just remember to go to dollar store down the road and get your own toilet paper and paper towels and even dish soap as these things are not supplied or limited quantities. Loved gulf shores will definitely come back. Also enjoyed a day in New Orleans since it's a short scenic drive away. Highly recommend the ferry ride at fort Morgan . The waves are a little rough so I suggest getting a tube for the kids minus the boogie boards unfortunatly we were a little upset it was too rough to snorkel . Overall experience was AMAZING!!!

Me and my family had a blast. The condo was very nice and roomy.

It was a pleasant experience. I think the beds could use some new bedding. It was very clean just the bedding seems a little cheap.

Everything was clean and ready to go when we arrived 5 hours early, which was a great bonus. The staff was friendly and very helpful making sure everything was covered. The room was great with plenty of room for everyone and all utensils we would need were already furnished. We had a wonderful patio to relax on every day we were there. I will be using this room again if it's available.

Excellent property. Excellent service. Better than we could have expected and fairly priced.

Tropical Winds 104 is a great place to stay. The condo is very roomy and family friendly. The ladies at Bender Realty are the nicest and always very helpful.

Loved the ocean. Great weather Shrimp festival was an ok experience. Great zoo. Accommodations were average. Clean but poorly decorated. Easy access to pool and beach. Kitchen had everything we needed. Great location

It was a surprise bday trip for my boyfriends 29th and it was perfect! Although it rained, we still had a blast. We stayed in Tropical Winds 104 and I cant wait to stay again! Thank you to Bender reality for being so helpful & kind. We will be back!!

Everything a beach vacation should be...lovely condo with awesome view, private beach, walk to stores & restaurants.

We had a good stay. The condo was clean and roomy. Everything was in good condition and close to all areas. Really thought it might be nice to update the decorations and such. everything is a bit dated but this did not affect the use or enjoyment of our stay. One suggestion would be to provide a few basic cleaning supplies, something to clean the counter tops and glass surfaces and stove top. We actually cooked most of our meals and dishwater works OK but a better spay cleaner would be nice. Thank you for a great time.

We had another great year at Hangout Fest, and had another perfect condo from Bender. Beach front, one mile from the festival. Condo was in great shape, everything worked, was clean, etc. Thanks, as always, for a great time!

It was a nice and peaceful place to stay. Clean and personnel very helpful.

over all had a great stay will do it again. Condo a little outdated but clean and well stocked. We all enjoyed ourselves.

The fruit flies were little annoying and not sure why the popcorn ceiling kept falling down. It would be nice if the TVs in the bedroom would be a little bit bigger

Excellent view. Felt like home. Easy walk to the beach. Very clean and well stocked.

A quick response to a small problem with a slow running drain. Also got a good tip where we could watch the football game.

Me and my wife took our children and grand children, and had a great time weather was nice and location was great

Vacation at Gulf Shores was great. Property is older than most and is showing wear and tear but overall perfect accommodations for me and my five friends.

once again we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at in Gulf Shores, Tropical Winds is a very nice condo and we love staying there, our experience with the ladies at Bender Realty is always a pleasant experience, they are so kind and helpful we have stayed at various condos they rent and have never had a bad one yet but I do wish the "Tropical Winds Condo Assoc. would allow the chair rental in front it would be so much more convenient than having to drag your chairs down to the beach all the time" but as I said our stay was over and done with to soon, so until we meet again!!

I felt that the condo could have been a little cleaner the floors look like they were not moped. The couch and love seat looks like it needs to be cleaned.

We booked Tropical Winds through Bender Realty. It was just as amazing as I was told it would be. Great location. Room was very clean. Agents were great at answering any questions we had and suggesting things to do. This will be our next look when we get ready to book again!!!!!

enjoyable

Unit was clean and nice and perfect location. I would definitely recommend it.

The location was great just a short distance to the grocery stores. I would highly recommend this condo to any one. However it was rather noisy the week of the Music Fest at the hang out several couples partied most of the night and kept people awake.

we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Tropical Winds 104, it is a lovely condo with easy access to everything, the Staff at Bender Realty are very caring and professional. We always recommend them and their units to friends as we have stayed at various properties and have always been very satisfied, wish we could have stayed longer

Smaller property, not crowded at all, almost had the beach and pool to ourselves. Awesome property

Overall our stay at Tropical Winds was very enjoyable. The location and view are great...staff at the management company very professional and friendly. A resident's continally yapping dog made the pool less than enjoyable and was even audible at times from the beach. Could use a few more kitchen items but we made do with what we had. I would book this place is a great value for the price.

Overall good experience. Internet was slow and didn't work for one day, pool out for one day (pump went bad), and sliding doors are loud b/c they are worn out. Good location although the beach is not Destin (sharp shells all over).

we have just come home from another excellent vacation in a Bender Realty rental property,Tropical Winds 104, can't say enough to recommend this to anyone looking for a good condo

Stayed in this unit for a quick 2 night shopping trip after Christmas. The unit was very spacious, comfortable, and clean. The people at Bender were very courteous and helpful. I have used them in the past and will continue to do so. Best rates!!!

we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Tropical Winds 104. Loved the location and the unit, it is spacious.

The only issues were the oil of course...not benders fault but when we called you kept telling use they were cleaning the beaches and our beaches were not cleaned until Thursday of the week we stayed. Starting on Tuesday of our vacation they were mounding sand in front of our condo so from 8-5 everyday we had to listen to bull dozers and dump trucks. We brought our elderly parents and by Friday the mound was to large and they could not get to the beach. If everything goes okay with the oil I will rent that condo next year.

We had a great stay at the Tropical Winds. Close and conveinent to anything and everything you need to be aware of in Gulf Shores. We will be back no doubt.

The condo was nice and big. We really enjoyed being so close to the beach. The pool was wonderful and the view was awesome. Can't wait to go back!

Cleanest pool and great beach.

Overall the 4 nights at the tropical winds condo. was a great experience. The condo was very clean, and nicely layed out. It had a beautiful view of the beach, that we enjoyed everyday.

Loved being right on the beach! Family Friendly! Location not far from everything you could possibly need.
