Tenth Year at Sandpiper

This was our 10th consecutive year staying at the Sandpiper Condominium resort. It was our first year in Unit 4C, and we were very pleased. The unit was recently remodeled with a walk-in shower in the main bedroom. This is so much appreciated by seniors with mobility issues who find it difficult to step into a bathtub to take a shower. The unit was clean at check-in (though there was a line of sand along the baseboards from the front door to the kitchen). The unit was well-stocked with amenities, including just about any kitchen utensils and pans you would want.

This resort has an outdoor pool only. In past years, it has not been heated until March 1st. This year, for some reason, the heat was turned on sometime in February. However, the management company did not notify all residents that the pool was now usable. We found out by accident when we saw other people using the pool and declaring that the water was heated.

The resort has the same four charcoal grills in the courtyard that have been there since we first stayed at Sandpiper ten years ago. The grill grates are always rusty. We would not allow our food to touch the grates in this condition, so we never used them to cook anything. This is disappointing, as we enjoy grilling out.

The property management company decided to use some new formula for calculating next year's rental rates. It took them several weeks longer than in the past to communicate that information to us. We were starting to explore options at other properties in the meantime.

Overall, we enjoy the Sandpiper property and have booked our return in 2025.

This is our tenth year vacationing at the Sandpiper for January and February. This is our first year in Unit 4C. This condo is newly renovated and nicely equipped. There is now a walk-in shower in the main bedroom, much appreciated by seniors and others with mobility issues. Bedrooms have comfortable beds with white wood head & footboards, which match the nice chests of drawers and nightstands. Living room furniture stylish and comfortable. The kitchen is well-stocked with pots, pans, glasses, utensils and other essentials. The unit was generally clean upon checkin. The Sandpiper resort, though decades old, is in good condition. The only issue this year was the elevator in the first couple of weeks in January. The weather was very cold, and the elevator shuddered and vibrated while moving. One day it seemed to freeze up and didn't function at all. The only other complaint we have is that the outdoor pool isn't heated during the "winter months" and the water is just too cold to swim in. This has been the case ever since we started vacationing here 10 years ago.

Highly recommend Sandpiper Condominiums (right at the light in Gulf Shores) to anyone who wants to relax and enjoy small crowds and no waiting at the elevator. It has 3 floors with 16 units each. Not all of them are for rent, but there is usually a good selection available year around. Each unit is clean and well maintained. Nice size pool in the center of the complex. Great outdoor grilling area. The walk to the beach from your unit is very short compared to some of the others. Bender Realty staff will help you plan a great vacation at this venue. They are always courteous and professional.

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.

Sandpiper 4C is the best condo on the beach for families. The unit has excellent amenities that are continually updated. New paint, washer/dryer, and living room furniture over the past few years make this unit a great place to stay. The unit is always clean and the bed configuration is great for families. We have been visiting GS for spring break since 2006 and always try to book 4C!

We're so glad you had such a good time in Sandpiper 4C. It is definitely a repeat-worthy condo! We appreciate your patronage and look forward to your arrival next spring.

Great location! Sandpiper is an excellent property choice. The units vary in how the owners choose to update them. The coil stove and washer/dryer work well but should be updated they are loud. The coil stove is dated but also works well. The pull out sofa bed is comfortable and television is not wall mounted- something to consider if you are traveling with small children.

We really enjoyed our stay in 4C, it was quiet, clean, and comfortable. The AC worked really well, plus there were ceiling fans in both bedrooms. The bathrooms were clean and spacious, water pressure in the shower could have been a little better, but it wasn’t a deal breaker. The location of the condominium was in a great location. Towards the end of the week (a few days after Tropical Storm Cristobal), the beaches were pretty crowded, not a lot of space to spread out and play games on the beach without stumbling over others. We really enjoyed our stay here!

The location of this condo is wonderful and perfect for families with children. My only complaint is that it was not well stocked- no chairs or toys for the beach, no trash bags, and 2 rolls of toilet paper. Beds were not the most comfortable, but they were fine.

Sandpiper is a wonderful, family-friendly property, with unit 4C being especially nice. Beach chairs and toys are not standard in our condos, and all guests are notified that only an initial supply of toilet paper and products is supplied. We would love to have you stay with us in the future!

Sandpiper is a lovely property, and on mild days, soaking in the sun on the balcony overlooking the pool area is wonderful! Unit 4C is very nicely furnished and a great condo to book, no matter the season or weather.

We have stayed in several different condos at the Sandpiper over the years. We really liked 4C. This visit was my husband, daughter and myself. We are turning in October for a "girls" trip with my daughter, my mom, sister, and myself. If 4C were available, I would definitely stay in it again but unfortunately it is not. I had to call Bender's two times due to unruly kids in the pool and they were attentive to the situation. We have never been disappointed with Bender's or the Sandpiper.

Manager's Response

We're so pleased you enjoy your stay at Sandpiper every visit. It's perfect for families, and it's perfect for girls' getaways. And isn't 4C such a nice unit? Tastefully appointed with a great view of the pool and Gulf.

Our stay in 4C was nice. We enjoyed our stay with family and friends. The beach is beautiful and accommodations fit our needs. The most inconvenient part was not being able to keep a tent on the beach, but this is no fault of our condo. Overall, we very much enjoyed our week in 4C.

We have been coming to the Sandpiper for 10 years and have stayed in several different units over the years. 4C is our favorite unit hands down! The tile floor, king size bed and two double beds, and Keurig coffee maker are little extras that set it apart from other units. We can't wait to return next year to 4C!

Overall I thought the mini vacation was great. Location was perfect and the beach was beautiful. The condo was clean and comfortable, but lacking supplies. One roll of toilet paper per bath with no back up rolls was rediculous. One trash bag was another downfall. Those two things are expected! It's not like I'm packing trash bags and toilet paper when I'm paying $510 for three nights.

Dirty floor - your white socks should not be black
Parking - Really? $12 per vehicle. Not sure if there are enough parking spots if complex was sold out. What's next fee to use the pool or access fee to beach?

Quiet and peaceful, lot of families, nice views of the ocean, very nice grilling area.

Not sure if the volleyball court belongs to the complex, but playing on broken sea shells is not good. Saw a girl slice her foot open.

Thank you for your input. We are so glad you enjoyed the quiet and peaceful atmosphere at Sandpiper.

We stayed here from July 5th thru July 12th. Our condo was ready by 3pm on Saturday. It was very clean and ready when we walked in! It had tile thru out, which is nice for easy clean up. We loved the keyless entry-didn't have to keep track of a key, just had to remember a simple code! Would definitely stay here again. The gals in the office at Bender were very pleasant and easy to work with. The only minor issue is the pool should be monitored a bit closer as there were kids with no supervision at times, other than that-GREAT PLACE TO STAY!!!

We had a wonderful time. Although the beach restoration disturbed us a bit and we were inconvenienced that we couldn't use the beach but after a week that was cleared up. Our family came for Christmas and they wanted to swim but the pool was turned off. Is there a possibility that the condo association could purchase a pool cover and keep it heated during the winter so other snow birds can use it too? Will come back again.

The beach restoration project that is taking place on the beach is a little loud and we cannot walk the beach until they are pretty much past the condo which should be a about a week. Interesting to watch the progress on how they blow sand onto the beach, quite a procedure.

This was our second year to stay in this unit. Last year was two weeks, this year was a month. It's a beautiful location...right on the beach. The Bender staff is great to work with, and the other residents at the Sandpiper were just fun, friendly, wonderful people. When I look up and down the beach at all the high rise condo buildings, I am very glad that we found the Sandpiper. Its open, wrap around deck, provides an opportunity to party with the neighbors, yet the receded individual decks allow for privacy if wanted. The individual unit was great. Everything was provided. The beds were very comfortable and the place was clean.

My only complaint is that I couldn't book it for the same month next year. And while I understand that the owners would rather book for 2-3 months if possible, I will be very disappointed if there are no units available when they take bookings in September for those of us who only have the opportunity to stay for 1 month.

I really, really want to go back!

Our unit was very well equipped with everything we needed to stay more than a couple of nights. Very clean, beds comfy, overall very nice. Only problem was there was suppose to be a heated pool (which would have been nice since it was cold), however, when we got there the pool was closed and there was no water in it. We were not notified about this in advance or at check in. It would have been nice to have other options for swimming, or given a break on the rate of the condo since we could not use the pool.

Had some problems with the refrigerator, but Bender fixed it immediately. (Extremely pleasant people to deal with) We will return next year. The winter residents there were very friendly and social. The only disappointment was that the pool doesn't get heated until sometime in March.

The location of 4C is very good, but the unit needs some improvements. The washer needs replacing--over an hour to dry a medium load of towels. The the living area needs beter chairs and less large glass tables. Tables with shelves or drawers would be great. The dining table of glass is too large and a lot of work for the occupants. The chairs would go with a white or wood finish
table. The bedding looks nice, but no place to put it in hot weather. Lighting in the master bedroom and living area is poor for people who like to read.

There needs to be a separate place to park contractor vehicles--like across the street.

Manager's Response

Thankyou for you comments. We will check out the washer situation and we appreciate your patience with the contractor activity on the property during your stay.

We really needed comfortable chairs for lounging.

Manager's Response

Owner of this unit visits often, and replenishes items immediately to inusre their tenants have and enjoyable stay. When items are missing before their next visit, a call to Bender Realty is all it takes to have utensils replaced or a new blanket brought to the condo. Owners care about their guests - they hope you will come back!

Needs up to date furniture and kitchen utensils. Needs supplimental floor coverings such as throw rugs. 100% ceramic floors can be dngerous when wet and are uncomfortable to walk on. The 2 bath tubs should be furnished with "non-slip" surfaces.

The dish washer and washer dryer are inefficient and energy waisters an need to be replace. Another livingroom chair would be quite nice. The present one is uncomfortable.

Manager's Response

Owners took possession of Sandpiper 4C mid-year, 2007. Since then, the condo has been completely painted, ceramic tile installed throughout, kitchen and bath cabinets and drawers reworked, and new kitchen counter top installed. New furniture includes the sleeper sofa, dining table with six side chairs, and the guest bedroom set, (including bedding). New cushions were placed on the refurbished chairs in the living room. New blinds were installed on each window.

New appliances include the stove, microwave, dishwsher, and washer / dryer. Televisions have been replaced with upgrades.

WE havebeen staying at the Sandpiper for years. We feel it is "home away from home' and would highly recommend the Sandpiper to all.

We love the Sandpiper. It's family oriented, has a beautiful view of the ocean, and isn't over-crowded.
