Perfect in every way

This place is amazing the condo is gorgeous and incredibly clean. The pictures that they post don’t do it justice. The views from the balcony or amazing and almost can’t be described. It’s perfectly located right on the beach and only a few minutes from all of the stores and entertainment. We loved everything about it wish we didn’t have to leave and will be back next year.

Highly recommended!

This unit is spotless and in a great location - beachfront , convenience store across the street and restaurants within walking distance. I walked everywhere within a mile or so to go to the stores , restaurants and other parts of the beach . The management was also very accommodating, they granted early check in and late check out in consideration to my flights. I wish they provided beach towels but this wasn't a deal breaker , im just used to other Beach properties that provide it . Overall this was a great stay and I would stay with them again .

Great Condo but horrible communication with Bender Realty

A+ to the owners of this property. We enjoyed our condo. The process through Bender, however.....sucked. From start to finish. Service calls during stays that were not coordinated with us. Packets weren't given, nor was the address to a separate office.

Love this Condo

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We love this condo, but very disappointed we won’t be able to stay here next winter due to the owners new rental policy. Great area! Comfortable condo and this is the first place we’ve stayed that doesn’t allow smoking on the balconies. Finally! We come here to enjoy the fresh air and breathing cigarette smoke isn’t what we consider enjoyable.

Disappointed

The location was great and dealing with the Bender Team was great. The condo however was just awful. It had not been cleaned very well. Dishes in sink, full ash tray on patio deck Also the coffee maker didn’t work, the screen door on patio was brokers and the refrigerator leaked. The condo is in a perfect location with amazing views however it needs to be completely renovated. For the amount of money we paid it should be much nicer.

Great Stay

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: The check in was easy. Bender was alway available to answer my questions. The condo was very clean. All appliances and everything worked as they should. One of the elevators periodically was not working. The staff was told about this. It left one elevator fully functional. I like the fact that we had covered parking .We had a great stay although the weather could have cooperated better, one of our days it lightning all day so we couldn’t swim or use the pool the whole day. We would definitely stay again and would hope for better weather.

Nice weekend accommodations

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Top floor, great views. Condo was clean and quiet. Elevators worked without long delays. It was nice having a security person on site. Covered parking. Beach service 9-5 was nice but chairs are set back so you will likely have people setting up near the water in front of you. The management company was great at communicating and quick to respond to queries.

Very disappointing

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was more than 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: We ended up in this condo because of a water line break in the condo we initially rented. The pricing was the same as the one we initially rented, only in much worse condition. Floors were dirty, king bed comforter had blood stains all over it, one twin bed comforter had blood stains, we had no washcloths or hand towels for 2 days, fridge was broken and leaking water, had a cockroach that we found and killed and what looked like cockroach droppings under the sink in kitchen. Overall, very disappointing
