Furnished with basic, somewhat dated furniture, the unit features a queen size bed along with a sleeper sofa, accommodating up to 4 people comfortably. Gulf Tower 1C has a kitchenette but NO washer and dryer. The enclosed glass balcony creates some extra space and allows you to open the room up and let in the sights and sounds of the beach in front of you. There is a TV and DVD player in the room. Guests are welcome to bring extra linens.

Gulf Tower is in a prime Gulf Shores location. 1.5 miles from the popular Hangout and public beaches and 3 miles to the Gulf State Park & Pier. Not to mention the proximity to all the best dining and shopping this island has to offer! With its amazing beach front location access to the our white sandy beaches is a breeze!

Nice spot for couples getaway

The location is really nicely convenient to the Hangout and main drag but far enough away to be quiet. The layout is nice but needs a few updates to be top notch.

A Wonderful Beach Stay

My wife and I spent a workweek stay that really made the grade at Gulf Tower on the Gulf Shores Beach! Our rental was conveniently situated on a portion of the beach that almost felt private, involved less traffic and provided unobstructed views of the Gulf. We really desired privacy and were amply rewarded. Bender Properties were very easy to work with and checked on us several times via text messages to make sure we were satisfied. We loved our experience!

Gulf Shores Getaway

Cozy low-key getaway for senior couple with beautiful views of beach and ocean. Short drive to restaurants, shopping, and Gulf Shores Beach. This unit could use a little freshening up, but it was clean and comfortable for us.

The room was very clean. Check in was fast and easy. Great view of the ocean. Loved the sunroom. The only complaint was someone before us didn’t wash the dishes very well and the toaster didn’t work. Overall everything was great!

Don't recommend 1B Gulf Tower

The room wasn't clean. The mattresses were horrible. There was a pillow with a huge blood strain. The tubs wouldn't drain. The sliding glass door wouldn't stay closed. Half the electrical outlets didn't work.

Great place to stay, wonderful view!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed in the studio apartment and absolutely loved it. The three of us (husband, wife and daughter) were able to share quality time together in the open space. The kitchen was surprisingly larger than we anticipated and the Refrigerator was full size, not dormitory. We were quite pleased with the room, the location, the convenience to restaurants, shopping and grocery stores. We would definitely return. Our only complaint would be the size of the parking lot.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It was on the beach & had an enclosed balcony. The unit had an adjoining door to another condominium. Every time some ran water we thought our unit had a leak. There was very small amount of beach space. There were ceiling tiles missing in the bathroom. The rental staff was very nice & went over everything throughly.

Ok stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Only 3 towels @ washcloths for 3 women for 3 nights. Could hear water from other rooms (sounded like we had leak) Wasn’t told only one vehicle per unit was allowed. You can’t grill nor smoke when raining; bc there isn’t a cover to stand under.

Vacation

Our first time at Gulf Shores and we were not aware of them renovating our condo. We were told it was ready for us. Exposed wires in hallway and in our bathroom, elevators were being worked. Most all outlets were useless because the plug ins wouldn’t stay plugged in very loose. Bed was falling apart and some of the light switches didn’t work properly. Overall the location was nice, right on the beach, beautiful view from our room balcony, had a nice pool, wasn’t very far from shops and restaurants.
