The Sandpiper has become our family’s go-to spot! Amazing beach access and a great building layout, the deck space and grill area allows great opportunities to meet other travelers staying at the piper. The location is also wonderful, quick access (walkable) to Waves Market for all your quick trip needs and a quick drive to most tourist shops and restaurants. We look forward every year to a stay at the Sandpiper

Manager's Response

It's always a pleasure, having you stay with us at Sandpiper. You are correct; there's just nothing like this iconic property. We can't wait to have you join us again!

This condo unit is on the smaller side. I have stayed at other units in Sandpiper. It was clean and conveniently located. It would work well for a small family or 2 couples. Beware...the toilets do not flush well at all. They should definitely be replaced.

Sandpiper is a wonderful place to getaway. It’s right on the beach, has a pool and is located close enough to restaurants. The outside areas are well kept, neat and clean. We’ve stayed at the Sandpiper several times lodging in different units each time. Some units are in great shape, some need some TLC. We stayed in 5A this time. It needs some TLC. It’s in need of updating. It is definitely warn down. It also wasn’t very clean. The frustration is that one of the costs you pay is a cleaning fee but the housekeeping service did a quick half job when cleaning the unit.
We definitely recommend the Sandpiper, just would avoid unit 5A.

Manager's Response

Sandpiper is truly a great getaway, and the property is very well maintained. We regret that you experienced housekeeping issues and would have gladly addressed them immediately had we been aware. We appreciate your repeat patronage and look forward to your next Sandpiper vacation. Use our website's pictures and reviews to help you select the perfect unit for you and your family!

We missed the heated pool which we paid for. You would think with spring break arriving the pool would have been checked out making sure it was in good working order. Kids were Very disappointed.

Manager's Response

We regret that the pool heater wasn't working. A part is on order, and we are just waiting for its arrival, after which we will have the heater up and running immediately. In the meantime, we hope that you enjoyed your annual Sandpiper vacation!

My only complaint is that 5a needs a lot of updating and maintenance. We will continue to enjoy Sandpiper.

The condos at the Sandpiper never disappoint. While the whole complex is getting some age on it, it is kept up nicely. The outside looked to have fresh paint and the pool area was very well maintained. Condo 5A was nicely furnished and clean. Our only complaint was the bed pillows in both bedrooms were very flat and not comfy. Otherwise all was in good shape!

Manager's Response

The Sandpiper complex is very well maintained and such an original property! 5A has a lovely view of the Gulf and pool area. Please know that we are available to address any issue you may have, seven days a week.

Very nice. We had 6 condos. Good time. However,5A needs some attention. The door lock was always hard to unlock. The comode in the 2nd bathroom needs replacing. It ran most of the time. I tried to stop it, but the insides are corroded. Also need another bed in 2nd BR.

Manager's Response

It's always a pleasure, having the Kern family at Sandpiper! It's the perfect location for family reunions such as yours.

Enjoyed our vacation here at Sandpiper. The condo was nice and clean. Was not much room to store groceries. Pool was nice and beach was nice but hard walking on the sand. May needed to be smoothed out. Weather was perfect all week. Restaunts were good. Also I left a pair of UNIVERSITY OF LOUISVILLE pajama pants and t-shirt there in the master bathroom cabinet. You may contact me if you find them.

I love the Sandpiper and would recommend to anyone. I was a little upset because I had to have a plumber come in on two different occasions and it took a little bit of my vacation time away, but all in all it was a good time.
I would think that the cleaning people would've noticed that the guest bathroom toilet was about to fall over when they cleaned the bathroom. I think they should've reported the issue and it could've been fixed by the time we arrived.

Overall the experience was pretty good! We had a couple of disappointing factors! The pool had been shut down but we were told it would be available! The cable was not working properly. We had to call for maintenance to fix the furnace on the "new" unit. The management was quick to respond to all of our issues which was very impressive! Again, the overall trip was very good!

We had a great time. Loved the condo. First time for us to visit Gulf Shores and I was not disappointed. We have already reserved for next year.All the tenants were very friendly. My only complaint is when there are children in the condos, parents need to be more respectful of their neighbors. The kids above us constantly were running through condo and on deck. Also while sitting on deck those same kids would pour water or some liquid substance on deck, hitting us while we sat outside.

Bender Realty did an excellent job from the planning of our vacation to our departure. The ladies in the office were super helpful upon our arrival and kept in touch with us until our departure. Electricity went out in our unit but was immediately restored after a couple hours. The A/C was out longer but was fixed in a relatively short period of time and the technician was the best ! Our true fault was the cleanliness, particularly the bathroom and kitchen floors. Lots of hair and dirt left in corners of rooms. They maybe should try another janitorial service. Restaurants are plentiful and suggest The Oyster House and Franco's Italian. The pool and courtyard areas were maintained very well and super clean.

I was disappointed this year with the condition of the property. The unit itself was dirty. The master tub and toilet had not been cleaned. There was mold on the tile floor around the toilet. I pulled the dish drain from under the kitchen sink and there were food crumbs in it. We got ants the second day we were there and most of our food had to be thrown out. The overall maintenance of the unit was poor. There was a hole in the master tub. All of the ceiling fans wobble and make noise. The a/c thermostat wasn't able to be turned up(this could be operator error)and the overall furnishings were worn out and dirty. I was dissappointed with the overall appearance of the outside of the property. The gravel had not been replaced in the parking area, the rails couldn't be touched without your hands getting dirty. There was some trash and tons of cigarette butts all over the ground. We missed the Sandpiper of the past. Could you please bring it back? Sandpiper has become a vacation tradition with my family. A tradition I don't want to break because of neglect.

Love the beach, I feel this room was well equiped. It had plenty of utensils and pots and pans. I wish it had a few more plastic bowls with lids for left-overs. The furniture could be updated, atleast the cushions on the chairs in the kitchen round

seats with square cushions-hard to sit on and be comfortable to eat. I wish the palm tree outside by the deck was not there it blocks the view when out relaxing on the deck. We have stayed at the sandpiper for many years and have enjoyed it each year. We have told many friends and they have also stayed there we had a total of 7 families this year, with one group looking into purchasing a unit, and we have enjoyed every minute we are there and can't wait to come back.Lisa
