About this property

Beachside condo with pool and Gulf views

Sandpiper is a low density three story complex. Its unique V shape building and shared common area walkway in front of each condo lends to a friendly get to know your neighbor atmosphere. Family reunions, large groups of people traveling together and individual families choose this property often. The tropical courtyard, seasonally-heated swimming pool (mid-March through October, as needed) and grilling areas give Sandpiper an ambiance all its own. It is a highly requested property and has the most repeat guests. Your view is beach-side and within a short walk you are able to enjoy the sand and the water.

About the area

Gulf Shores

Located in Gulf Shores, this condo is near the beach. While the natural beauty of Gulf Shores Beach and Gulf State Park can be enjoyed by anyone, those looking for an activity can explore The Wharf.

Not clean
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. 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: Upon entering the condo sofa cushions for miss placed. Pretzels were in the chairs and in the sofa and something was smashed in the carpet cockroach in the kitchen cockroach in their guest bathroom. Pillows smelled horrible and I had to go buy some new ones to use while we were there. We thoroughly cleaned before using anything. tub and toilets had not really been cleaned. Should have been refunded the cleaning fee since we did the cleaning.Other than that ,the view was beautiful. All appliances worked great. It’s still a great community at the Sandpiper.

Great place but choose your unit wisely
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. 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: Sandpiper is a wonderful place to getaway. It’s right on the beach, has a pool and is located close enough to restaurants. The outside areas are well kept, neat and clean. We’ve stayed at the Sandpiper several times lodging in different units each time. Some units are in great shape, some need some TLC. We stayed in 5A this time. It needs some TLC. It’s in need of updating. It is definitely warn down. It also wasn’t very clean. The frustration is that one of the costs you pay is a cleaning fee but the housekeeping service did a quick half job when cleaning the unit. We definitely recommend the Sandpiper, just would avoid unit 5A.

BASIC/MEDIOCRE accommodation in Great Location
Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very 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: I'll start off with the good: 1) awesome location directly on beach. 2) heated pool open all year (I believe). 3) adequate parking off-street. 4) Away from ultra high-rises.And now the mediocre and bad: 1) Bender Realty didn't answer my pre-trip questions. 2) Property owner/Bender Realty do NOT stock the condo with NEEDED items. I ended up having to buy: toilet paper, trash sacks, kleenex (which in my opinion are STAPLES to any rental). 3) The condo also wasn't stocked with niceties like at least 2 or 3 coffee filters so I can make coffee before going grocery shopping, only ONE dishwasher table was furnished, NO hair dryer. 4) The balcony off of our unit (5A) looked directly over the parking lot and right at the wall of the bldg. next door. 5) 5A had a musty smell so I also had to purchase air freshener. 6) Bender Realty only gave us 1 key since we checked in late. No one told us we could have gotten more!

The staff were very nice at check in and also when we went back to reserve for next year.

Sandpiper is a great choice!
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: This condo unit is on the smaller side. I have stayed at other units in Sandpiper. It was clean and conveniently located. It would work well for a small family or 2 couples. Beware...the toilets do not flush well at all. They should definitely be replaced.

Sandpiper Unit 5A
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: UNIT 5A NEEDS to be remodel!! Worn furniture: couch sat very low to the ground, kitchen table has numerous scratches and there was a slimy film on the top(probably what was used for cleaning) you also could not open frig, had to move table closer to front door, light in corner flickered if you turned it on, TV was the size of a computer monito(did not work had to call maintenance), kitchen cabinet had handle falling off, coffee pot leaked, could not lift the toilet lid all the way in hall bath, when you pulled the lever on the shower faucet to turn on shower it pulled away from wall, towel bar fell off wall(Bender sent someone to fix right away), lighting in bathroom DATED, 2 random bar stools in master bedroom. Need new mattresses, pillows were thin, POSITIVE NOTE, THE AIR CONDITIONER WORKED WELL it was set on 67 and we could not get the thermostat to change, it was always COLD and the weather was HOT.Sandpiper does NOT give a discounted rental rate due to the condition of the unit, we rented a place in Gulf Shores for a week previously this year, but the unit was in MUCH better condition.Be aware that you are given ONE kitchen towel for your weeks stay and your bath towels are thin and small(BRING YOUR OWN!)The reason we were leasing from the Sandpiper was we were with a large(60+)group and everyone was staying at the project.Bender Realty is courteous and when we needed them they responded quickly.
