Relaxed

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. 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: Our rental experience was hassle-free. Bender agents quickly answered all our questions, including door width for accessibility of my mobility scooter. Although the furniture and countertops have a dated appearance, everything was clean and comfortable. However, the toilets are lower than even standard toilets. The toilet seats are not more than 14 inches from the floor. If toilet night is a problem for you, consider asking for another unit. I visited a different unit during our stage, and the toilets were normal height. Overall this is a fantastic place to stay and very close to the beach!Property description is accurate. The view from the deck is spectacular!

Too much $$

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The reason we felt it was a little too expensive is 3 of the 4 mattresses are completely worn out and need replacing. ALL the pillows need replacing, flat and dirty under the pillow case. I love that is it an ocean side room but, a little to expensive for condition of condo furniture.

Vacation 2017

Rating Details: The property manager was very 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: Overall we were very satisfied. We had excellent weather all week and were able to relax and enjoy our time together. I find it ironic that the title I am looking at as I write this review is "Enjoy the Sunsets on the Porch Glider" because the porch glider was broken and did not even look safe to sit on. Also we had a lot of stuff to take down to the beach every day in our wagon and it was very difficult to pull it through the sand. I feel they should look into getting a boardwalk like the other properties around it.

Family Vacation 2016

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. 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: Overall we love staying at Sandpiper. This is our 4th year in the same unit. Bender is great and always friendly. However this year the security guards were un friendly and we felt like they ruined our normally fun and easy going time. The very first day the guard watched every move we made which made me feel very uneasy. He would just stare and treated us like children. It really dampened our overall experience

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: We love the area and the beach. The unit is in need of repairs and upgrading. The room is out dated and dirty. The carpets are worn and the flooring in the bathroom is worn. The overall decor and cleanliness of the unit needs attention. We will no longer be staying on that until and have opted to rent another unit that is better kept for next year.

May 2022 trip review

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. 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: The furniture in the living room was the biggest drawback. It needs replaced. We met one of the owner of 8c and he asked how things were going. We told him of a couple of other issues and he got on them immediately. Real stand up guy. The T.V. in the bedroom facing the gulf makes a horrible noise and needs replaced as well, either that or the satellite box.

Not as nice as we expected.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed our stay but we’re little disappointed at the cleanliness of the property. The carpets were stained and didn’t look like they had even been vacuumed. There was trash under the beds and the dishwasher had stagnant water standing in the bottom of it and when we opened the dishwasher the smell was horrible. The unit was nice but needs some repairs and a really good cleaning.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than 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: Very good location. The bed was very uncomfortable and sunk in the middle. Dryer did not work all week even after bender was notified. It never got fixed. We could not use the cooking pans because the coating was coming off . The love seat has a bad spring sticking up in the seat.

Spring Break 2022 condo 8c

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: We had another amazing year in golf shores. We continue to book year after year because it’s just so easy for our family. Condo 8C has been our favorite condo yet and we’ve stayed in six different units. The only two complaints we would have is the couch was the most uncomfortable couch we’ve ever sat on. I’m pretty sure all the springs in the couch are broken. Secondly, the TV in the master bedroom didn’t seem to work half the time and made a screeching loud noise when we turned it on. It likely needs to be replaced. Other than that, the unit was amazing. It has more space than other units, has amazing sights, and the carpet was a nice change from past years having tile floors.

Sandpiper 8c

Rating Details: The property manager was more than 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 recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have stayed in this condo before because we have a big family gathering in Gulf Shores almost yearly. I will say the owners have spruced the place up with new living room furniture and paint. The beds are absolutely terrible. The master bedroom bed is so worn out that if there are 2 people in it you're laying on top of each other as it caves in. The mattresses in the second bedroom are as hard as a rock. My one son actually said the couch was more comfortable and slept there. The condo is supposed to be furnished with kitchen supplies but bring your own pots and pans. That being said the atmosphere of the Sandpiper complex is awesome. You feel like you're in you private little retreat vs a hotel. It's nice but we've stayed at more than a handful of other condos and for your money you can get a nicer condo but not the atmosphere.

Disappointed

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have been going to Sandpiper for the last 2 decades.This was a terrible experience. The condo was not clean, I could write my name in the dust on the TV stand, there was mold on the ceiling near the vents, there was trash behind the nightstand in one of the bedrooms, we had to crawl under the sink to get water to the dishwasher. These are just some of the issues-went to the office after all of these started piling up and got a patronizing attitude from them. We rented 4 condos for a family get together. Very disappointed! $125 cleaning charge for what?? Changing out the sheets and towels? We had the end unit on the 3rd floor - the view was great but wouldn't rent this unit again.

Great corner unit but needs some updates

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is our second year staying in 8C. The view is spot on and the only reason for re-booking. The primary bedroom mattress and main sleeping pillows are reallly due for an upgrade. The carpet needs to be replaced as does the chair in the living room. The kitchen glassware and plates are worn and a hodgepodge of random items that could use to be replaced. We didn't cook so can't comment on the remaining kitchen items but the top fridge shelf was broken. Lastly, both toilet seats need to be replaced. Outside - the patio is the selling point of this unit for me. It would be nice if there were a table outside to eat / play games and it's hard to enjoy the stars on the patio at night because of the bright overhead light on the stairs. Would be nice if there was a retractable blind to pull down at night to minimize the light.
