Sandpiper is Great! We have stayed there before and what I like about it most is it isn't a high rise and each room has a view of the ocean from their front door and it overlooks the pool. We loved just sitting on the deck outside the front door in the mornings and it is just a very short walk to the beach.

Manager's Response

Sandpiper is truly a unique and wonderful place. Unit 3C is so lovingly furnished and stocked; it has everything a guest needs for a comfortable stay on the beach.

Staying at Sandpiper at the beach was such a wonderful experience. Our place was serene, and I felt a sense of community with fellow snowbirds. My place on the third floor was perfect for us. Our unit was well furnished with all of the amenities we needed. The only downside was the garbage truck at the building next to ours. The truck came 3 days a week between 4:30a-5:30a! I had to wear earplugs on some nights to get rest. However, I made the necessary adjustments and was able to have a blessed vacation!

The condo was beautiful! Very clean and we loved the beach vibe from all of the colors and decorations. The location was super convenient to both the beach (right outside) and great restaurants! The beach was beautiful- not too crowded and the weather and water were perfect. It was all we needed to have the most relaxing week! The staff were available should we have needed anything but there were no issues at all. We loved our stay and are definitely coming back. It was our best vacation ever!! Thank you!!

We have been coming for years and we love it. The cleaning fee has risen each year but the actual cleaning has declined horribly. The toilets were filthy, the mirror wall had hand prints all over. Dishes in the cabinets were still wet when we arrived. We will still be coming back because sandpiper is home but we come knowing we have to clean our own condo. The furniture needs some upgrades

We were referred by a friend to use Bender Realty and stay at Sandpiper. We are so thankful for his recommendation. Bender Realty was wonderful to work with and the Sandpiper was the perfect place for our family. We have a special needs daughter, who can become over stimulated easily. So this condominium complex was more suited for her needs. The open deck layout allowed for us to get to know our neighbors. Everyone was so nice and it really had a community feel to it. The pool was the perfect size and the easy beach access was great! We would definitely recommend Bender Realty and The Sandpiper. Sidenote: The first day we had a problem with the shower head, we called Bender Realty from the concierge phone located in the condo and a maintenance man was there in 15 mins! Great customer service!

Have always enjoyed staying at the Sandpiper! 3C was kid friendly, well decorated, and convenient! It definitely has a warm beachy feel! My wife thought the showers were great for our little ones with the detachable shower head wand. Will definitely pick this condo again for future trips.

We love vacationing at the Sandpiper. Our unit was well equipped with all the necessities to make a comfortable stay. If we did have an issue, Bender Realty dealt with It quickly! Being right on the beach is wonderful! Property looked well maintained, and the pool was heated during the month of February. If possible, some kind of light marking the driveways at night would be good.

Manager's Response

We're so glad you enjoyed your Sandpiper winter, and we look forward to seeing you next year as well! Sandpiper is a terrific place to enjoy the mild weather, friendly neighbors, and great views. Unit 3C is very nicely maintained.

It's so wonderful that you had such a good time in Gulf Shores! Sandpiper is just the best, and unit 3B is a lovely unit from which to enjoy all that the property has to offer.

We're so glad you enjoyed your winter in Gulf Shores and at Sandpiper. It's a very friendly property, and unit 3C has such a cute, beachy atmosphere!

We see that you have re booked Sandpiper 3C for next year; we look forward to seeing you guys again!

Dear board members. We have been returning to the Sandpiper year after year for more than 15 years. Our group over the years has grown to more than 50. Over the years we have aged as well and with the recent policy change to leave nothing on the beach it has become even more difficult. I understand that the board needs to be conservative and choose there battles but please consider the construction of a boardwalk to the beach. This would allow the aging and handicap to gain access to the beach without dragging everything through the deep sand. If this does not occur soon we will be forced to find another location with a boardwalk to enjoy the beach. That we don't want to do. Thanks for your consideration on this matter. We ALLWAYS enjoy our stay.

Love our Gulf Shores vacations!

Proximity to beach was great; pool/pool area was clean. Parking was convenient, even for a large SUV. 4 adults, 1 teenager; great visit; would definitely rent this condo again! Be sure to bring essentials for the length of your stay (trash bags, soap, dish soap, tp/paper towels, etc.). There are trial sizes for your first night.

We personally have been coming to the sandpiper for about 13 years. That says enough about our satisfaction in it self. Some of our group has been coming for more than 25 years. We now have between 50 and 60 people in our group from Louisville Ky. and three other states. We are a great group of friends and family who thoroughly enjoy our stay each year at the sandpiper. With that being said we would greatly appreciate the owners consideration of the possible construction of a board walk to the beach. It would eliminate 150 feet of deep sand to traverse. Not to mention the benefits for the handicap. Since the new Gulf Shores beach ordinance has passed it has made it necessary to make many more trips as to leave nothing more than footprints. We would greatly appreciate your consideration in this matter. Thanks so much. We will be back.

We experienced no maintenance issues while in the unit. I would gladly use it again.

Only issue is the weak WI-FI , need to upgrade the Sandpiper WI-FI as it was hard to obtain sometimes----not a big problem but needs to be done.

We could not really see the ocean from inside 3C. The unit was nicely decorated and cheerful with its beach theme. We would recommend this condo to friends. Bender Realty was friendly and helpful. The fresh shrimp and crab we bought and had steamed were marvelous. The bike trail in Gulf Shores Park were as good as it gets.

Even though we didn't pay the extra $100 to have an "ocean view" we could see the ocean from our balcony area and it was beautiful. The fridge was loud, the couches were uncomfortable and one was broken, and the water pressure for showers was awful, but everything else totally made up for all of that. I'd stay here again for sure.

My family has stayed at Sandpiper now for over 10 years and have always been greatly pleased. There are numerous condos to choose from in Gulf Shores, but Sandpiper has a homey feel to it that the others don't. I have stayed at more expensive condos and feel like I am in a hotel the whole time while at Sandpiper I can kick back and feel at home. The beach access is great, the other renters have always been good, and the pool is wonderful. The staff at Bender is top notch as well.

For the past 3 years, we rented private homes in Fort Morgan. This was our first experience in a condo, directly in Gulf Shores and will definately do it again. The condo itself was a small complex where families mingled and kids played as if we were neighbors from home. The kids especially enjoyed the pool and each had a friend their age, which made it great for the adults. It was really a terrific vacation. The beach location was perfect and I was surprised that the crowds on the beach and the main drive were not ever an issue. Bender Realty was fantastic to work with, there were no hidden fees or instructions. Easy, and convenient location to the property. Thank you so much for a fabulous vacation!

Not quite sure why this customer did not recommend this condominium as they rated it in all categories as good to excellent. A typo perhaps?

Please note: Sandpiper 3C has been recently refurbished and upgraded. It has all new cabinets, furnishings and accessories. It is well appointed, comfortable and inviting.
