Our rental experience was hassle-free. Bender agents quickly answered all our questions, including door width for accessibility of my mobility scooter.
Although the furniture and countertops have a dated appearance, everything was clean and comfortable. However, the toilets are lower than even standard toilets. The toilet seats are not more than 14 inches from the floor. If toilet night is a problem for you, consider asking for another unit. I visited a different unit during our stage, and the toilets were normal height. Overall this is a fantastic place to stay and very close to the beach!
Property description is accurate. The view from the deck is spectacular!

The placement of 8C can't be beat. On the top floor and facing the water, with its own private balcony (absolutely loved the glider and Adirondack chairs for morning coffee and sunset viewing) as well! The large windows facing the water in the main living space is such a great feature. Loved the large, comfy sectional in the living room and all the kitchen amenities/utensils offered. There is a Keurig and every dish/pan we could have ever needed. My party consisted of 2 older adults, two younger adults, and a toddler. All of us slept very well, and the toddler loved the bunk with the ladder to climb up! There was plenty of storage/dresser/closet space and the unit was very clean. We had zero issues during our stay, and loved the sense of community that this complex offers. There's nothing like it! We all made friends at the shared pool and loved having everything just steps away from the front door.

This condo was great. The view from the balcony was amazing. I thought the carpets would bother me but they didnt at all. Everything was clean and cozy. The beds were comfortable and I felt at home. My only complaint was the lack of water pressure- but I dont think that is specific to this condo. Its an older building and Im sure the plumbing is old as well. It hardly affected my stay.

We had a great stay at the Sandpiper! The pool took a day or 2 to get fixed (heater) but was wonderful for the rest of the week. The condo was clean and well kept too. I really like the keypad entry vs the physical key method as well. Parking was never a problem with plenty of room. Along with a great, and heated pool, my family enjoyed the grills. The only concern I do have are the price increases that seem a bit steep. Apparently the competition with Florida is heating up.

We had another amazing year in golf shores. We continue to book year after year because it’s just so easy for our family. Condo 8C has been our favorite condo yet and we’ve stayed in six different units. The only two complaints we would have is the couch was the most uncomfortable couch we’ve ever sat on. I’m pretty sure all the springs in the couch are broken. Secondly, the TV in the master bedroom didn’t seem to work half the time and made a screeching loud noise when we turned it on. It likely needs to be replaced.

Other than that, the unit was amazing. It has more space than other units, has amazing sights, and the carpet was a nice change from past years having tile floors.

Manager's Response

It's always a pleasure, having you stay with us at Sandpiper! Unit 8C is really terrific for all of the reasons you mentioned, PLUS it's got a private, beach front balcony! Thank you for your input - we will check on those items immediately. We look forward to your visit next year in 8C!

I can NOT complain about the unit 8C. Located on the Gulf end of the condos with wonderful views of the Gulf from within and without (private deck off Master bedroom). I emailed the Bender staff to relate a couple of issues and they were never addressed "we'll notify Maintenance". I owned & operated a nursing home for 36 years and issues were taken care of almost immediately or the paying customers weren't happy. (1) I tried to live with the electric oven/cooktop - though I prefer gas. What made it difficult in the unit was the lights being out over the stove top/cooktop. I asked that they be fixed, they weren't and I feel like i spent a week cooking in the dark. If I had brought a Phillips screwdriver I would have replaced the bulbs myself; (2) I relayed that the cover was missing to the a/c unit and when the unit was on the filter was sucked into the unit......the filter itself was filthy and needed to be changed and the air was obviously NOT being filtered appropriately & my main concern was the long-term damage that would do to the unit itself my 3 year old granddaughter has respiratory issues; (3) my daughter called Bender twice (that I know of) to relate that the pool heater was not working (for at least the last 3 days of our visit). It was an unusually "cool" week at the beach and very windy. A cold pool was not INVITING to either of my grandchildren especially the 3 year old granddaughter (who was not fond of the Gulf water - two red flags). My daughter was told "we have ordered a part". If I told my nursing home residents when the oven was not working and they had to eat MRE's because "a part was on order" it wouldn't fly. Things I did not relate to Bender: (a) there was a shard on the water knob in the back bedroom that I cut my finger on the first evening we were there; (c) door knob/lock on deck door needs replaced; (d) lid on hall toilet wouldn't stay up & g'son kept peeing on seat; lid on other toilet broken. Cleanliness 6 of 10.

Note about 8C - the carpet needs to be replaced throughout the entire unit. It is very old and stretched out. In addition, the couch and love seat need replacing as they are both thread bare in places. 8C is a beautiful end unit but these two areas must be addressed by the owner as they significantly impact the renters’ stay in a negative way.

Also we had a lot of stuff to take down to the beach every day in our wagon and it was very difficult to pull it through the sand.

Definitely 5 stars, with just two suggestions: the master bed is not terrible, but it's not the most comfortable bed. An upgrade on the mattress would be hugely appreciated. And 2nd, the kitchen was well-stocked with everything we needed...except we couldn't find an ice cream scoop.

Bathrooms are nice and big. Only complaints are: slippery tubs and only 4 chairs at the dining table. We had to bring in an extra chair from outside to accommodate for the 5 of us.

We have been coming to the Sandpiper for about 30 years. We have stayed in Unit 8C for many of those years. It has plenty of beds for a small or larger family as well as a stocked kitchen. The view is phenomenal and the only way to enjoy your stay on the gulf. Why come all the way here if you can't see the water? Bender Realty is our number one choice for vacation rentals in the area!

We have stayed at the Sandpiper for over 20 years for Spring Break. We are never disappointed when we call or walk in the office on that first day to see the smiling faces of the staff. Bill Bender often greets us as he remembers us from previous years. Sandpiper has grown up with us and even as all the high rise condos and fancy hotels crowd the skyline we have never considered staying in one of them before staying at the Sandpiper with Bender Realty. Sandpiper Spring Break Family is our family...we have watch families such as our own go from young adults to parents, to kids going off to college and then those kids coming back with their own children years I said we have grown older with Sandpiper. Fortunately, Sandpiper has gotten new updates and face lifts to keep it fresh and competitive with other accommodations in the area but still has a homelike feeling. When an issue is brought to the attention of the staff it is resolved as soon as possible at the guests convenience. Would I recommend Sandpiper and 8C to others? Of course I would...but only to those people who appreciate and recognize the better things in life!

Manager's Response

We are thrilled at the part that Sandpiper and Bender Realty have played in your family's spring breaks throughout the years. Sandpiper is indeed quite special and has an atmosphere that is unparallelled. We look forward to assisting you for many years to come in booking vacations that will be added to your family's memories.

We have vacationed at Gulf Shores for over fifteen years and love the area. The Sandpiper has been our choice of places to stay for the past seven years.

The unit was clean, kitchen well equipped and nice and living room area had updated furniture. My only complaint is the mattress in the master (balcony) bedroom was extremely firm and uncomfortable and there was no television in that bedroom, which would be really nice to have after a long day on the beach and you're ready to wind down for the night. I would highly recommend a GS vacation and the Sandpiper is always a wonderful place to stay.

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 loved the condo. The view was beautiful. We would stay there again

We greatly enjoyed our stay. The Sandpiper is in a great spot for the ocean and access to all the gulf shore surroundings.

Great condo

The beachfront condo was excellent. We loved the view.
Having stayed in other Sandpiper condos we did find this kitchen exceptionally equipped over others we have stayed in.
We love the Sandpiper and we will be back!
