The property is exactly as pictures. Check in/out process was very smooth. Management consistently communicated with us. Ample towels in the unit and sheets. Great location on the beach. We had lots of room, privacy, and access to the beach. Even saw dolphins just outside :) it was a great stay. There is a kurig and a regular coffee maker on site and fully set up kitchen. It is a very nice place to stay with kids.

Loved Sand Trap!
This was the perfect place for our fam of 6 adults and 4 kids. The high top table and chairs on the deck was a particular favorite for hanging outside and staring at the ocean. The personal boardwalk to the beach was convenient, kitchen was well stocked, and beds were comfortable. The place was cozy and perfect.

Gulf Shores Vacation
We had a great time. The house was clean and ready to go when we arrived. Location was within 5-10 min to all the activities we wanted to do. Separate ice maker was a great addition for the kitchen for making up coolers to go down to the beach. Would highly recommend this property.

Wonderful Beach View
This was a wonderful place for us to stay. Loved the back porch and the furniture. Just wished there was a grill for use. Only issue was our 83 year old mother was unable to be comfortable on the furniture due to the sits being deep and worn out.

We stayed 6 days 5 nights at the Sand Trap and had an amazing experience. House was extremely well stocked with any kitchen need, vacuum, dust pan, first aid kit, and hotel sized extras like shampoo, soaps, etc. The Bender team was so kind and easy to communicate with. We had no issues during our stay. We liked the house so much we will be booking it again for next summer. Highly recommend.

Sand Trap👍
We had a beautiful week. This is our 2nd time at Sand Trap and the house is wonderful…sitting out on the porch looking at the Gulf was so special…loved that the large porch is half covered, made sitting out anytime great. We’d highly recommend!!
