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.
This beautifully-appointed condo is situated towards the street side of the property. While the property sits directly on the beach, and you can walk straight onto the sand from the parking lot, there is no view of the Gulf from this condo's front door until you turn the corner, from which you'll have a slight view. A simple walk down the communal balcony will take you to terrific views of the landscaped pool area and the fabulous Gulf waters!
*Guests must be 25 to rent *No smoking, no pets *Winter monthly guests welcome!

Always a good time.
My family absolutely enjoyed this rental. The room was so cute and had everything we needed. The beach was easily accessible, especially for my little boy. There was no headache of waiting for an elevator! Will book again!
We booked 8 condos for the USSSA National Championship. The property was small enough to allow the families to be together and for our kids to be safe. Parking was so easy and no long waits for elevators. We enjoyed our stay!

My family had an amazing time at Sandpiper. It was great for my youngest child and just big enough that you could keep an eye on your children without a huge crowd. All guests were extremely friendly. The condo was nicely decorated and the beds were comfortable. We are already looking forward to coming back.

The unit was clean and in great shape. We’re a guy’s golf trip (50’s and 60’s) so we don’t have a lot of kitchen/appliance needs; however, we did have everything we need. The satellite TV worked and had a great sports package. The restrooms/showers were clean and in great working order. We will be back.

We had four persons occupy this unit over a four day weekend. One person utilized the pull out sofa with both ease and comfort. All appliances were in great working order, and we had all the plates, bowls, glasses, cups and utensils we needed. The WiFi was excellent and the television was in good working order. We experienced no maintenance issues while in the unit. I would gladly use it again.

We spent 4 days at Sandpiper 10A. It was clean and had everything we needed for our mini-vacation. We brought along 2 little kids that also enjoyed their stay. The staff at Bender was very friendly and helpful throughout our booking and during our vacation. My only suggestion would be to have a recycling service. We are used to separating our trash and recyclables at home, and at the end of our stay, we were disappointed that there was no place to put our box full of recyclable material.We had a wonderful time on our first visit to Gulf Shores! Thank you!-Emily K

We had an absolutely wonderful time! We absolutely love sandpiper and can’t wait to return. The only thing that might make 10A a little bit better is having blinds in the front windows instead of curtains this would allow sunlight into the living room without everybody always being able to look in on you.

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.

Run Away!!!! Beds are bad, Hugh end table in master with barely space to get in bathroom. Black mold in shower. All tv’s had no connection to internet had to mess with tv’s for 2hrs for my kids. Very old furniture. Me lease thing was bender they were so rude and disrespectful paid 700.00 to try and see this area for us to move to and I spend the day on the phone with these people signing documents one one of our days coming out cause their computer were working had to screen shot that I signed this document cause they keep calling saying I did complete it. Then lady treated me like a child and told me how to do it and I said I know how to e sign I have a screen show I’ll send you that says it’s complete. Then you have to go pick up some dumb papers from another location and a parking pass. These things could be left in hotel. All I can say if you are looking to enjoy your time in gulf shore don’t stay here. And it’s not worth the more.
