We have stayed at the Sandpiper for the last 20+ years and are never disappointed. If there ever is a problem all we have had to do is make a phone call to the office and the problem is fixed right away...now that's service. We always feel welcome and consider the Sandpiper our personal spring break home each year. We have grown up with many others who visit each year for spring break...what a great feeling!

Bender Realty went above and beyond to accommodate us, even our faxing needs. They were quite helpful with suggestions for the local restaurants & activities.
The Sandpiper condominium was great! The ocean views were spectacular at sunrise & sunset. The neighboring visitors also made the stay very appeasing. Can't wait for my next visit!!

Except for there being no heat in the condo for the first night everything else was great. The problem with the heat was reported and fixed the next day. I thought the rental agency should have offerred some discount off the first days rental due to the heat not working and it was cold, but none was offerred or asked for by me.

We have stayed at the Sandpiper for the past 20 years for spring break. First time in 8C. We do wish they would consider doubling the beds in the larger bedroom as we have 2 teenagers! Just a thought...the rest of the room was wonderful...well stocked and beautiful decor.

We were very happy again this year with the Sandpiper. The view was great. The pier is a longer walk than it appears! :)
Blonde Johns was a great,congenial place to rent bikes. Lulu's food was yummy for dinner and wonderful leftover for next day. We had fun at the Pirate's Island Golf and filled to the top with dinner at Lambert's with enough for the next day. The only bad thing we have to say is the dryer did not function properly and would take FOREVER to dry a load of clothes. Overall our stay was terrific.
enjoyed our stay very much & hopefully will be back in June, we would recommend Bender Realty to anyone Thank-you and have a nice day, Ann Kuhlman

We have stayed at the Sand Piper about ten times in the past fiteen years, This year we brought along our two grandchldren ages five and nine. They had the greastest time ever and we are looking forward to returning again each year for their special stay at the beach. We all enjoyed the pool, long walks on the beach, playtime in the sand and everyone staying at the Sand Piper made us feel like we were all one big family. It was very enjoyable and are looking forward to our next vacation there.

This was our 3rd year in a row staying at Sandpiper in room 8C. Everything was wonderful. The room was very clean. The only complaint I had was the mattresses were very hard(still). Other than that we had a great time and will be back again next year for our forth Memorial Day weekend.
We had wonderful time. Weather was perfect. It only rained once during the day. Met some new friends. Always enjoy Gulf Shores.

The ceiling fans were very very dirty. We did not cut them on for all of the dust. It would have been nice to have an extra TV in one of the bedrooms. We had teenagers on the trip. Other than that we loved the unit, the ocean view, and the Sandpiper. I stayed at the Sandpiper last year, loved it so much I came back this year, and will come back again!!!

We loved the Sandpiper. The location was great. Loved the size of the condo - only 48 units and 3 floors (small - so there wasn't a ton of people there). As for the room - it was very spacious - beds were comfortable - it was great! Also loved the swing on our balcony. Will definitley return! Loved it!

Christine R from Saint Peters, MO recommends this vacation rental

We've stayed @ Sandpiper many times over the past 10 years. We love the location, the fact that it is very family oriented, quiet at late night. The quality of 8C seems to be deteriorating. I noticed it is for sale, perhaps the owners have lost interest, but several things need to be addressed -- the kitchen faucet drips, the range is dirty and in poor condition. The carpeting in the living area is stained and needs to be replaced, water pressure in both showers is terrible
Paid to much for this condo.

Kevin M from Germantown, TN recommends this vacation rental

I was disappointed with a couple of things.

1. The hall bathroom needs work. The shower had NO water pressure and the tub was not clean. The toilet was not functioning properly(we called and never got an answer if they actually came out and looked at it).

2. The beds need to be replaced, they have seen better days.

3. The carpet in the living room was dirty.

4. The condo was not cleaned--we found a pair of dirty socks in one of the bedrooms and a pair of dirty panties in the washing machine.

5. Someone came in and measured the refrigerator saying the owner was boing to replace it. They should replace the washer/dryer, it washed OK, but took forever to dry.

6. The view was great except when people would put there chairs in front of the living room window(evening) and hang out in front of our window listening to music until 11 pm.

We stayed at the Sandpiper from January 1 thru the third week in March, 2007. Our condo was beach front and was everything we had hoped for. The view was spectacular, especially from our private deck off the master bedroom. The people were friendly and fun, especially the "happy hour" group! We wish the pool would have been heated, though. We would recommend the Sandpiper to friends.
