We had a great vacation.

Perfect location - just right off the beach. Not much walking to get there. Very close to restaurants. Very clean condo. Very comfortable beds as well. The only thing that we saw was the kitchen drain rack needed cleaning. We picked it up because my granddaughter was with me and she’s just nine months old so it’s easier to give her a bath in the sink. It was funky underneath. I would have cleaned it but didn’t have a brush.

We love the Sandpiper!

Rating Details: The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had another wonderful week at Sandpiper Condominiums in Gulf Shores. Our condo was nice. The kitchen was well equipped. The TVs were small but fine for the week, and offered all of the services we use. The master bed, however, was the worst mattress we've ever slept on. Neither of us got a full night of sleep all week. The water pressure left a lot to be desired as well. We have stayed at Sandpiper at least 10 times in the past 19 years and it will continue to be our *home* in Gulf Shores!

Cheap supplies and uncomfortable furniture.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very 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: The supplies were sparse for a seven day stay. They were of poor quality, institutional. The paper towel roll was half the size of a normal one. One tiny packet of dish soap and one tab for the dishwasher. The rental company should include this in the description. It would have been better if we knew to bring these from home. I’ve stayed in over 15 places, across the country and never have I seen a unit so sparsely and cheaply supplied. The living room furniture was not comfortable.

Our friends family have been coming here for 20 years, so glad we took their advice. We had a great week with friends - a “last hurrah” as a family before last kid heads to college. Great service too.

Perfect Condo for a Guy's Trip

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.

We had easy access to the pool and the beach. We were allowed to enjoy ourselves around the pool without being hassled by overbearing security, and we enjoyed the folks who were staying around us.

Would recommend

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was 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: Overall the condo was “clean” but we did find some dead bugs on the floor, food on the bedroom floor, dust in corners. The tub looked like it could use a good scrub. Overall it was picked up but could use a deep clean. Also it would be nice if there were washcloths in the kitchen, there are none provided. The dryer also does not dry the clothes very well, it takes 2-3 cycles.

Sandpiper 12B

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: Our ninth year of staying at the Sandpiper, but first time in Unit 12B. The unit is well-decorated and well-stocked. Master bath was recently renovated and has walk-in shower, which is very handy for seniors with limited mobility. All other furnishings in excellent condition. The unit was very clean at check-in, more so than other units we've rented in past years. The only disappointment is that we were told by the management company that this unit's owners will not be renting on a monthly basis in the future. We will have to see what units are available, if any, at the Sandpiper if we choose to return in 2024.

Another Good Vacation

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: This was our ninth year staying at the Sandpiper Condominiums. It was our first year in unit 12B. The unit was clean, nicely decorated, and had a lot of useful amenities. Better stocked kitchen than other units we've stayed at in the past. Unfortunately, the owners are revising their rental practices and this unit will not be available for us in 2024. Bender Realty manages this entire complex. The Bender staff was very helpful in assisting us in booking a different Sandpiper unit for next year. Their staff is friendly and very helpful. Any issue we've brought to their attention, whether large or small, gets handled right away.

Sandpiper 12B

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: Great! We love the Sandpaper and have been coming for several years. This was our first stay in 12B and it was wonderful! All of the updates were fantastic! The only thing I wish is that we would have been made aware of the beach situation before our arrival. I know it’s not your fault by all means, it just would have been nice to receive communication before our arrival that canopies/tents were not allowed in the vicinity, that way we would not have packed our canopy (which takes up a good deal of space) and we would have brought our umbrellas. Luckily our unit had some umbrellas in the closet for us to use which was much appreciated!

Love the Sandpiper resort!

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 had a wonderful month in Sandpiper 12B. The unit is in very good condition and is well-stocked with amenities! The owners have provided an excellent selection of pots and pans, kitchen utensils, bowls and containers, etc. They also have a number of beach and lawn chairs in the unit for our use! Very convenient when we have friends & family visit! Sadly, the owners have apparently decided not to rent by the month in 2024. But Bender Realty, the management company, bent over backwards to assist us in booking another unit at the Sandpiper for 2024. Bender has always been extremely good to work with over the past nine years we have been coming to Gulf Shores. Everyone working there, from office staff to maintenance personnel, is always friendly and eager to address any issues we have brought to their attention. We're always appreciative of the way they have treated us over the years!

Not bad!

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The pool was not ready for our stay in December, January or February but it was miraculously painted and ready to go for spring breakers. Had problems with the TV tiling and freezing up. They did change out equipment but had to come and change it out again because all the connections were not tight. Bugs! Palmetto bugs as they call them inthe south. Yes, they have people come in and spray supposedly for bugs but never had one person come into our condo while we were here. We currently have three large palmetto bugs in our kitchen light. The people atBender were nice but on the occasions I called about the bugs I had a person both times say but they are dead. No they aren’t if they can walk into a bathtub or out onto the kitchen floor three feet from the cabinets. I’m sorry if this sounds awful but not really what I wanted when I paid high rent for three months.
