The unit was in great shape, more than adequately provisioned and the complex was handy to so many of the things we wanted to do. Perfect condo for a great four-day weekend getaway.

Manager's Response

It's always a pleasure, hosting your group. Sandpiper is perfect for get-togethers such as yours, and we look forward to seeing all of you next year!

We spent 8 days in 11a The complex is a nice 3 story. Nice barbecue area. Right on the beach. Nice pool but deck needs some work. The condo really needs a deep clean.

Manager's Response

Sandpiper really is a great property, just three stories, sitting on the beach, with beautiful pool, barbecue, and garden areas. The Association does a very good job with property maintenance; as such, the pool area is already scheduled for upkeep. Deep cleans are always scheduled in the fall, after the extremely busy spring and summer seasons. We hope you'll reach out when you are ready for your next visit to the Gulf Coast!

Great condo with a perfect location! This condo is conveniently situated near the pool and steps from the beach. So close to awesome restaurants and entertainment. We always enjoy the friendliness of other guests staying at this complex. Outdoor BBQs are fun! Condo is clean and comfortable for the whole family! So worth booking for vacation!

Three beds for three bodies. The kitchen was properly apportioned, and the rooms were clean and clutter-free. 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.

It's always a great experience at the Sandpiper. I've been staying in the Sandpiper for approx 27 years. The staff is always helpful, the property is clean and well maintained. The price is getting a little steep. I know it's the sign of the times.

We had a wonderful time staying at the Sandpiper as usual. The unit 11 a was spacious with comfortable beds and plenty of pots and pans. Newly renovated backsplash in the kitchen and small island were also helpful. TVs in every room plus carpeting was a nice touch. We had a spectacular time and would love to come back again

Despite bad weather cutting our vacation short, we couldn’t have asked for a better rental company or condo to stay in. The condo was exactly as described and in a great location, we can’t wait to book our next stay. The owner of Bender Realty is fantastic! Although our vacation was cut short, he made sure to have us contacted and compensated despite us not having rental insurance. Who else would do something so nice?! We CANT wait to return!

I would recommend that the necessary cleaning supplies be provided for the cook top stove. that is not something that I thought to bring or buy while at the store. I tried but was unable to get it as clean as it should have been.

Manager's Response

I apologize that the stove top was not as clean as it should have been; we would have gladly gone and addressed it had we known. Other than the stove, we hope that you enjoyed your stay in the Sandpiper complex in Gulf Shores.

The unit was clean and in great shape. We’re a guy’s golf trip (50’s and 60’s) so we don’t have a lot of kitchen/appliance needs; however, we did have everything we need. The satellite TV worked and had a great sports package. The restrooms/showers were clean and in great working order. We will be back.

Manager's Response

It was great, seeing you all again! Sandpiper 11A has just had new carpeting installed, making it a great unit in which to enjoy your time with your friends.

Our rental experience was great, I did an earlier review and voiced my concerns about the condition of the carpet and the fact that there was dirt in the bathroom corners. I was contacted almost immediately by Bender Realty and was told the owner had taken note of my concerns. We are renting another.. unit in Sandpiper next year and are looking forward to our stay.

Manager's Response

We were so happy to have you with us at Sandpiper this year! It is a wonderful, friendly place from which to escape the cold North and enjoy the mild Gulf. The owner has indeed taken your input to mind and is currently making update plans.

We rented a condo for 2+ months while we were house hunting. We had several instances where we needed to speak with the ladies in the rental office and we were always impressed with their professionalism, efficiency and friendliness. They always went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of.

Rental was overall clean but the carpet in the living area needs to be cleaned along with a vent or two. Light in main bath is coming loose. Ants in the master bed the first night but things happen and it was only ants, within a few hours Bender changed out the linens (maid left them in the bathroom so we bagged them up and maintenance sprayed Hotshot around the bed. Quiet condo, nice pool and great beach access. The only downside was the living room furniture is extremely uncomfortable. Would stay again. Have stayed in several and this one was one of the quieter condo's.

The Sandpiper is in a wonderful location with a beautiful view and a very short walk to the beach. We stayed in unit 11A. Overall it was clean; beds, bathrooms, kitchen, but there was thick dust on the headboard of the bed and on the decor on the walls. Had an AC drain leak that was fixed and cleaned up promptly. Everyone was very nice and helpful. The one unforgivable problem was the master bedroom mattress, it was so hard by the second day I had a sore hip. I'm an average size person; I've been home for two days and it's still sore.

We were very pleased upon entering our rental. There was more than enough room for my family of 5. The condo was clean, spacious, and very homey. We loved being being right on the water, and we used the pool every day. We were also grateful for an in-unit washer/dryer and dishwasher. We used those daily as well. After spending our days in the sun and exploring what Gulf Shores has to offer, Sandpiper 11A was a nice place to come back to and relax.

11A has been the nicest unit I have rented at this property, the kitchen has been updated with stainless still appliances, new cabinets and granite counter tops. There was also new carpet and fresh paint in many areas. But regardless of the updates that many of the units owners have made of the last few years (the ones who haven't should) the reason we return if because of the property and the way it's layout allows for interaction with other guest. We will be back next year and be looking to rent this same unit.

First time to Gulf Shores and our experience was awesome! Condo was in an excellent location right on the beach and close to many restaurants and shops. Condo set up was excellent for families to stay connected while staying in other units. I would have to say that this was the best condo in regards to upkeep & comfortableness. Decorated very up to date in all parts of the condo. Kitchen looks like it was just updated with new cabinets, granite counter tops and stainless steel appliances. Also, carpet looks brand new! Beds were comfy. Liked that there was a king size bed and two doubles in the second room. Another plus was that you could see the pool from almost all of the rooms so you could just walk out and see how your kids or friends were doing. The only thing I would recommend is for there to be an assigned covered parking spot for each unit. We typically got one, but not always. Definitely would request this unit again!

Overall I would recommend this property. Everything was in working order. Air conditioner worked great! The cleaning service should leave the ice maker urned on for the arriving guests.The furniture in the living room needs to be updated to higher quality. The sofa sinks in way too far when you sit on it and so does the matching chair. The pull out bed is absolutely terrible, but I' ve never slepton one hat wasn't. Might want to pick a different color that doesn't show as many stains, that was kind of gross.

The Sandpiper is great! Condo 11A, however, is in really bad condition. The beds have been unsleepable for 3 years, even after multiple complaints. There was not adequate silverware, cooking utensils, and pans. We have to bring our own 9x13 pans because there are never any there. There were no wooden spoons. There were no big pans. The dryer was so noisy that it could not be running when people were sleeping. The rug is extremely stained. The door would not shut properly. The Sandpiper is a great place to stay. I would never recommend 11A to anyone, though.
