Your review is appreciated. Family memories are made at the Sandpiper. Guests usually return year after year. The tropical courtyard is a very pretty setting. The swimming area is quite nice. It is a perfect place for an enjoyable vacation and very convenient to area restaurants.

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!

Sandpiper is PERFECT for families and groups such as yours. 10A is a lovely unit in a property that is very nicely-maintained. Be sure to give us a call when your team is coming to the area or when you're ready for a family vacay!
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!

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 were very upset.

Sandpiper is a wonderful, family-friendly property, and unit 10A has just undergone a lovely renovation. With Sandpiper's popularity, it's very difficult to find a time of year that it's not booked. We never enjoy discommoding our guests, but property management and upkeep necessitate building-wide projects at times. We certainly appreciate your faithful patronage through the years and look forward to seeing you again in the future.

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

Reviewer Comments:
My family has stayed at the Sandpiper over 20 times. This year was very disappointing as the pool was not heated. The pool used to be filled with children having a good time and the 2 weeks we were there the pool was empty. I would have gone to another place if I would have known that the advertised amenities were not available. My son and grandchildren were planning to go swimming on their spring break. My friends know that this is my spring break destination but unsure about future stays.

Sandpiper is certainly a repeat-worthy property, and we appreciate your family's patronage over the years. We regret that the pool heater did not work for the first half of your stay and are thankful that a new one was able to be installed for the second half of your visit. We hope that you will return to Sandpiper next year and that we can assist you in booking your vacation.

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.
