This was one of the best condos we’ve had! Updated...beds little too firm for our liking but overall 8/10! My husbands family have been going to there condos close or little over 20+ years. Great for a bigger family trying to stay close

We so appreciate your repeat patronage! Sandpiper 13A is a terrific unit, located in a family-friendly property, and we can see why you've been coming for over 20 years. We look forward to seeing you again in the future!

Have been staying at the Sandpiper for many years. Generally try to book 13A as owners put a lot of effort into keeping anemnities up to date. This condo is very nice. Prices have gone up a lot over the years. I understand this is necessary, but I noticed several empty rooms this year (middle of June) which is not typical. I hope this doesn't continue to be the trend.

Manager's Response

Sandpiper 13A is a great unit in a property that is known for its friendly atmosphere, and we certainly appreciate your repeat patronage. We see that you like to come at various times of the year, from mid-June to the latter part of August, when rates drop. Booking closer to arrival, as you have done at times, can help you get a better rate. Please let us know that your are a repeat customer when you next book, and we will see about getting you a Valued Customer Rate, depending on the time you are staying and the number of nights. Booking trends are shifting, but we are always glad to see our Sandpiper friends!

We come every year and stay in 13A every year..
The unit was clean. Great condo and great location.

Our only issues with the unit is the beds are so big in the 2nd bdrm that you can’t get into the closet. Also, the chest has a broken drawer.

Why can’t you heat the pool? It’s too cold every year. Makes no sense. Everyone commented on this issue.

The condo has all the amenities you would need. Updated appliances. Ice maker is slow to make ice. Condo needs a broom for the floor. Beach rental chairs need to not take the entire beach front so the patrons can have access as well. There were 31 people in our group with 8 condos and we could not get a set in the front row.

This is almost what seems to be a “retirement,” condo? They do have a quiet time which starts at 10pm as far as the security guard told us. We weren’t allowed to be outside, or on the beach either apparently. We weren’t even supposed to sit on the deck and talk amongst ourselves. But it’s a beautiful condo, nonetheless. I just wouldn’t recommend it to anyone who is younger than 50.

Manager's Response

Sandpiper is indeed a beautiful property, with 13A a lovely unit from which to enjoy the beach and Gulf Shores community. Our Sandpiper guests are certainly permitted to enjoy the facilities in the evening hours, although, for the enjoyment of all guests, respectful quiet is asked of all. A 10:00 quiet time is standard for all vacation properties. We welcome the opportunity to assist you in booking your next visit to the Gulf Coast!

The condo was great. The view and beach were beautiful. I was very disappointed that the pool was drained and the pool area closed after asking about the pool 3 different times. Everything worked in the condo as well.

Manager's Response

We're so glad you enjoyed your Christmas vacation in Sandpiper 13A. We regret that the pool was not available to you during your stay. Oftentimes, repairs have to be scheduled last minute when supplies and labor become available. We hope that you will keep Bender Realty and Sandpiper in mind for your next visit to the Gulf Coast!

We have stayed at the Sandpiper for years and often in 13A. While most of the amenities were ok, here were the fixable issues that need addressing:

The room was not clean. Bedspreads were filthy and actually changed colors when we washed them. The bathrooms were not clean and required us to clean them.
Carpet was not vacuumed.
The dryer was broken and noisy...we called maintenance and nothing was done.
The second bathroom shower has a drainage issue and has for years. Been reported more than once.

We had a great time in beautiful 13A @ our beloved Sandpiper. We don’t get to come down as often as we would like to Gulf Shores, but when we do we always stay at Sandpiper. It’s our absolute favorite. This was our first stay in unit 13A, it’s very beautiful as well as comfortable. There wasn’t anything that we did not need.
We are hoping to be back very soon !!

Manager's Response

Sandpiper is definitely beloved by so many! 13A has some wonderful updates that make it a condo to revisit year after year.

We are frequent visitors of the Sandpiper for over 30 years. We had a great stay and loved 13A! Very nice condo. Minor hiccups with housekeeping due to the pandemic and labor shortage. We were understanding of this and Bender Realty did a great job communicating this issue with us.

I made an error in my scheduling dates and the staff at Bender were very quick to help me resolve this issue and reschedule the same room for a different date. I was very grateful!

We will be back!

Manager's Response

We truly appreciate your repeat patronage and are happy that we were able to assist you in scheduling yet another fantastic Sandpiper getaway!

Another great year at the sandpiper ��

We loved our rooms and their darling decor! The weather was milder this year but the ocean was mostly wild! While rain was predicted daily we probably had ten minutes in all the whole week. That is so common in gulf shores. We love hitting our favorite restaurants like Cobalts and Oyster House. We discovered Wolf Bay was destroyed in the hurricane last year but reopened at a new location on Gulf Shores Parkway. The food was just as good! We did not miss the burning hot afternoon sand and enjoyed walked barefoot up to the condo when the day was done! See you next time Sandpiper!

We loved staying with Bender. To us, that means "safe". We have used Bender Realty for years. We love the staff and have had perfect experiences. We particularly love the Sandpiper building. The owners take great pride in their condos. This particular condo was no exception. The beds were comfortable, the condo was clean, and everything worked perfectly.

Manager's Response

We certainly appreciate your repeat patronage. Sandpiper is definitely a repeat-worthy property, and unit 13A is just what you would expect of a Sandpiper condominum.

We felt the condo generally met our criteria for the price point we wanted to be at. Met our basic family needs, but, nothing above and beyond. Very nice location on the beach. Average cleanliness.
Was told there was a sleeper couch and there was not one. The hot water temperature ran out very quickly during showers. Ice maker and air conditioning were loud. Older pots and pan and minimal utensils for cooking.
Would recommend property with what to expect.

Overall, we were very satisfied with our stay. Sandpiper is a great condo unit, with a great set up. We were very satisfied with the property’s general condition. The location of the property is wonderful. The condo property is clean and well kept. The rental management company is very helpful and kind. Easy to work with. The cleanliness of the condo was pretty good.
I would recommend that scooters or any type of item with wheels not be allowed on the decks of the condos. Not only were they noisy, they are inconsiderate to the other guests staying there who are staying at the condos trying to relax or visit with others. Also, riding them after quiet hours up and down the decks was irritating. Besides the scooter situation we had a wonderful time and a great stay in Gulf Shores at The Sandpiper! We will definitely be back!

Manager's Response

We're so glad you enjoyed your stay at Sandpiper. It is indeed a special place, and unit 13A is very nicely appointed. Scooters and such items are NOT permitted on the balconies at Sandpiper, and as soon as it was reported to us, security was sent immediately to stop their use. Our 24-hour service is provided for just such instances.

Great unit, super easy access to beach and pool. Can sit on the deck and watch your kids play in the pool, and be close enough to yell to them.
Great for families. Only downside of the stay is that a large youth group was staying across the way and played loud music outside their unit and was very loud late into the night. Also times when other people were playing loud music at the pool during the day when we preferred to relax low key. That probably happens everywhere, though.

We had a group of 30 that came to see my youngest daughter get married on the beach.All the rooms were a little different but all were large enough for us to do what we needed. They were basically clean, could have used a little elbow grease around floorboards and on the walls but I'm a clean freak so that just may be me. We had an amazing time the entire week. All our neighbors were kind and joined in on the celebration.

The property is well kept up and clean. The location is close to many choices of restaurants, area attractions, and beautiful sunsets. Bender Realty staff are very friendly and very helpful. I especially enjoyed Lulu's for a hamburger, DeSoto's for fish, Mikee's for shrimp. and Hog Wild BBQ for pulled pork sandwiches.

Beautiful remodeled condo (only thing not updated was carpet in bedrooms) great location- close to everything, but far enough down the strip to have a less crowded beach. Condo is located close to stairs that lead to the beach. Well stocked - had everything we needed. Only things that would make it better- would be keyless entry (keycode)- the lock was difficult to open & a large mat by the door when you first walk in to help keep sand from being tracked through condo. Pool was smaller than we thought, but plenty big enough for kids to have a blast. Bahama Bob's is right down the street & has the BEST food!!! We will definitely stay in this condo again.

I would describe our vacation stay at 13A somewhat disappointing. Every night the tenants above us in 13B sounded like they were demolishing the place. They would get even louder around midnight. It was very disappointing how rude they were. 13A needs some serious attention given to the appliances and kitchen items. Thank god my wife insisted we bring a few pans and items to make the trip seem a little better. The stove and dishwasher need replaced. Ceiling fans would be nice in the bedrooms. The tile floors are cracked in several places, not a big deal but makes the place look cheap.

13A could use a new tv in living rm & A new couch.

We had a great stay in 13A. The facility was a place where it's easy to get to know your neighbors; the pool was nice and warm and the bech was very clean. We love Gulf Shores and will definitely be coming back to the Sandpiper.

Bendor is wonderful to work with. Always helpful. The maintenance person was very helpful in returning our call and taking care of the issue.
The mattress in the master bedroom really needs to be replaced immediately, very uncomfortable. Everything else was fine.

The only concern we had was that they allowed guests to set up their cabanas in front of the rented beach chairs thus blocking our view and access to the water. We understand that other properties prohibit the cabanas from being placed in front of the line of rental chairs. This rule was either not in place or not enforced at Sandpiper. If other properties can enforce the location of the cabanas, we would think the Sandpiper could do so as well. Please consider making this a rule and thereby giving a copy of the rule to guests when they check in. Other than that, we love the Sandpiper.
