We really enjoyed Gulf Tower. We have stayed several times at this condo and always enjoy our stay. For this particular unit, we did not like that there was not a glass door separating the balcony from the living area.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall the unit was updated nicely. However a few minor things need replaced. The blinds in the guest bedroom, cushions for white balcony chairs, wallpaper ripping in kitchen. Drapes would be nice for balcony & privacy. We enjoyed our visit & enjoyed our favorite eateries & the view. Thank you!🌴

The overall condo was nice but very dated which did not appear like this in the pictures. The linens were not clean at all! The pillows and bed spread had stains on them. I would not recommend renting this unit.

The property management company was okay to work with, though they forgot to give us the fob to check in upon arrival. However, the owner of this company is absolutely HORRID. I would not come back. Our parking pass blew onto the seat of our car instead of staying in the windshield and the property owner was incredibly rude. He booted our vehicle and the towing company tried to help us, but the owner wouldn’t let them take it off without us paying hundreds of dollars cash. No other payment was acceptable. Speaking to him on the phone he was degrading and all around unkind.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. 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: We love gulf tower and have stayed there before but will not stay in this unit again. The master bed was so hard and the 2 bed pillows were flat. There were 4 extra pillows in the closet but they all were COVERED in stains with only 2 available pillow cases. The master bed also only had 1 pillow sham that was also stained. Couch cushion, towels, and refrigerator also had stains. Grout throughout condo was black instead of its normal tan that you could see around the edges. We took out a skillet to cook and it still had eggs in it from previous use. Outdated furnishings do not bother me in condo as long as it’s clean and the bed it comfortable enough to sleep on. This condo did not meet that criteria.

So first ,I must say the unit was very clean , but interior a little dated. Location was great , pool nice and of course is beach was beautiful. My main complaint would be the rust coming out of the master bath faucet, I did not check the other water sources.( The water does look clean coming out of faucet .)I had to put a white wash cloth in the sink under the faucet because of a constant drip. The next morning the wash cloth had rust all over it from the drip. This was disturbing because I had been drinking the water. When I called to notify Bender Realty I was told that the building would be getting a retrofitting to fix this. I spoke to multiple condo OWNERS there and was told this was finished in 2012 and they just had their annual HOA meeting the day before and no additional work is in the budget for the next 5 yrs. So beware and don’t drink or use water unless you do the white wash cloth test. I have a picture and video of this I will try to post.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. 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: We have been staying at Gulf Towers for about 20 years, however this time was not a pleasant stay. The room was dirty with sand and stains on the floors as well as the furniture. The pull out sofa was broken and had to be fixed before we could use it. The air conditioning unit in the closet was leaking and had a mildew smell. In addition to the room a man calling himself the 'building owner' who lived in 11A verbally attacked a man and his wife with profanity in front of their children and other guests for placing an umbrella in one of the large flower pots. He also was very rude and disrespectful to the other guests who confronted him about it. He told them he owned the building and they needed to leave if they did not like it. We love Gulf Towers but we will be looking for another place in the future. Condos are too expensive to have to contend with such behavior and accommodations.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It's good to be ocean front but this building is too many units versus the the size of the site. Parking is tight and handicap parking is a cruel joke. The spaces are virtually inaccessible -- slap against the building so only children can get out of the vehicle much less a disabled adult. If you can get your vehicle in the spot(s), all two of them, backing out requires an uncanny set of driving skills since dumpsters are directly behind with a wall next the passenger door. If you can actually pull into the HC space you cannot open a door more than about a foot and the car blocks the doors to the lobby for foot traffic. Only 1 elevator was in service but the other was being replaced. Our unit had inadequate linens, no blankets and half the pillows were without cases. Bender acted quickly when notified. Much of the furniture was rickety and some electric plugs were compromised. The beach is extremely short due to the slope at the water but most of the waterline was taken by pay-to-play chairs and shade for an outside vendor. Beach patrol access and dune preservation took up most of the sand area. Bringing your own shade and chairs is uncomfortable at best and your children have hardly any play area. This is an older build build shortly after Fredrick. It is ocean front and close to the thick of things. The lagoon is about 2 blocks north in easy walking distance. Our particular unit had only 1 key fob for access to the pool and beach. inconvenient for 5 people ages 12 - 74. Parking is strictly enforced since trespassers can make car storage impossible for paying guests. The stay was not terrible but these points are relatively minor inconveniences that guests should be aware of before you book.

Really didn't prefer the enclosed balcony so would probably inquire about different properties with actual balconies. But overall, a great experience!! Convenient, clean, and all we needed. Thank you!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The kitchen was very well supplied. I loved having the washer and dryer which was in great condition. The quality of the furniture was good. It was comfortable. However it was not clean. The couch cushions were very dirty. We put a sheet on him before we would set on them. There were no screens for the windows. That would've been a lovely thing to have fixed so you could sit and look at the beach without the bugs coming in. The floor was absolutely filthy. Two times across and your feet were black. I thought it was very good for a short stay.
