Perfect Condo for a Golf Trip

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Working with Bender is as easy as pie. The folks are awesome. Sandpiper is a wonderful place to get a large group of folks together. The rooms are open to the outside and in close proximity. The pool is large enough to accommodate everyone and the beach is a few easy steps away.

Non-smoker

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Tropical storm limited time on beach, but enjoyed beach when able. Condo was very nice! Clean, updated, and comfortableDid not use balcony due to many smokers around. Smoke adjacent and below constantly wafted by. Pool area was very unpleasant due to smokers in and around pool. Smoke and ashes made it look and feel unpleasant.

Overall my family had an awesome time. I just recommend a sleep mask since there are no curtains in the bedroom windows so as soon as the sun comes out it’s bright in the rooms

Tenth Year at Sandpiper

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: 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.

Disappointing Vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is our 11th year of coming to Gulf Shores for January and February. Weather this year was very cold for the majority of January. There was even a record-setting blizzard along the Gulf Coast! None of that is the fault of the Sandpiper condo complex, nor of Bender Realty. But, there were some negative issues during the month. The single elevator was balky and out of service on several occasions. One toilet in our unit acted up constantly, either failing to properly flush or water running constantly after flushing. Bender maintenance people and even a plumber were at the unit 3 times to fix it. It is still having issues. The unit's air conditioner failed one day, requiring an HVAC tech to come out and fix it. The unit's WiFi also failed one evening, requiring a service call from the internet provider. The water to the entire complex was shut off for hours on two different days. Both incidents were related to maintenance on the complex swimming pool. The first incident was unintended; the second was scheduled and a group email was sent out by Bender to notify all residents. Though the pool received maintenance, it is still not heated and available for guests to use. This is consistent with every year we have come down here. The pool heater isn't turned on until March. This will be our last year at the Sandpiper. We don't feel we are getting good value for the rent we pay for two months. There are no amenities (pool, fitness center, etc.) like other resorts in Gulf Shores. The charcoal grills in the courtyard are rusted and unusable. We bought a cheap stand-alone grill, just so we could cook outside.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed at the Sandpiper 4C. We loved it. We have stayed at the Sandpiper befor but never 4C. With 4 kids we had a wounderful time family friendly and we could not ask for anything better. We even call for help and they fixed what we needed right away. We went on a Dolphin Cruise with Cold Mil Fleet and eat at Savanna next to the Gulf Shores Zoo. Both were amazing. Thank for such a wonderful vacation for our family. Can't wait to come back and relax for more salt water therapy.

Another Good Vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: 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.

Our Sept 2023 Excellent Adventure

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: 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.

Best Condo on the Beach!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: 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!
