The Sandpiper is a hidden gem. It's the best kept secret in Gulf Shores. Extremely family friendly and safe. The property is very clean and well maintained. There was someone always grilling in the evenings which was a nice option to dining out. The pool is heated which is nice when it's cooler. Our room was clean and comfortable. We will definitely stay there again and book with Bender Realty. Missy and Betty were the best!!

such as pots and pans Glass Pyrex dishes or maybe even a crockpot

Really great condo!! No complaints except that on the morning we checked out the elevator was out of order and we had to carry all our bags, cooler, etc., down the stairs. For a young person it would not be so difficult but my husband and I are elderly and have chronic bodily pain which hinders us from carrying heavy loads, especially down stairways.

Sanpiper 1A is a really great condo from which to celebrate a new year, a new anniversary, and a new decade!

We had a wonderful time at the Sandpiper 1A. The Sandpiper is a great location that we've been staying at for years. This was our first time in 1A and it fit our needs very well. Our only complaint within the condo is the condition of the sofa - it is not comfortable and appears to have seen many years. That is an easy fix and would not deter us from staying in 1A in the future.

Manager's Response

We're so glad you enjoyed your most recent visit to Sandpiper and Gulf Shores. Unit 1A has its own, private balcony area and the best rates of the property.

We have used Bender Realty for most of 25 years while vacationing in Gulf Shores. They are the best. Very courteous and willing to help with your needs. Highly recommend Bender! As for 1A... needs a King size bed in Master. Has no DVD player (we have son with Autism. Loves his movies). We have stayed in many condos at Sandpiper. All are good, some are just better than others.

Manager's Response

We truly appreciate your repeat patronage! Sandpiper 1A has terrific rates in one of the most popular properties on West Beach. Thank you for your comment on the DVD player - a new one is being installed immediately!

Parking left something to be desired. Lot was overcrowded and had to park across the street a couple of different times.

Manager's Response

Labor Day weekend is always busy at Sandpiper, but a simple call to the office will result in a parking lot check to make sure all vehicles have legitimate car passes. Please give our office a call when you are ready for your next Gulf Coast getaway!

Sandpiper 1A was wonderful, very clean and a great way out!! We will definitely be renting this unit again. Our only problems we're some other renters being very loud and drunk on our last night there which made us leave extremely early. The police showed up they were being so loud and rude!! But hopefully they won't be there the next time we come. Love Sandpiper 1A!!

We had a great, relaxing vacation for the month of February. So many great places to eat we couldn't take them all in. Also, great places to visit in the area. But best of all, the beach access was amazing!

Excellent vacation, room was neat and clean, condo's were quiet, pool area was tidy and water was warm and clean, decks were in good repair, outside furniture was adequate but could have been pressure washed (it was a little mildewed on a chair but we are at the beach and it does sit outside, I am not complaining!) love the fact that the condo had a walk in shower and a handicapped accessible bathroom will definitely ask for this one again if I bring my parents or grandparent in the future :) Bender staff was friendly, helpful and there within minutes if they were needed.
I have visited Sandpiper more than 10 times in the last 14 years and will continue to request it as my number one option. It has everything that I could possibly want and I am never disappointed with the facilities!

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.

Away from pool noise and street noise did not bother us. Clean, updated condo. Only problem was no one told me to bring a hair dryer! We came during the week and the activity was totally different on weekend . . . security walking around area, cleaning off decks and walkways, and of course, more people/cars.

We were able to book this condo at the very last minute. We enjoyed our stay here. The condo was very clean and the Sandpiper complex was nice as well. My kids enjoyed the pool and being right on the beach. The particular unit does not have a beach view but that wasn't a big deal to us this trip. The ladies at Bender Realty were super nice and helpful! The only bad thing about the condo was the bed in the Master bedroom. It was very uncomfortable. Other than that we enjoyed the condo and location!

We had car trouble traveling to Gulf Shores making our arrival one day later than scheduled. Bender rescheduled our dates and allowed us to stay the extra day without any penalty. A great deal for us. All of the people at Bender and Gulf Shores area were so nice. The condo was very nice, comfortable, clean, quiet, three TV's, just like home. The weather was a little cool for beach swimming, but wife and daughter set on the beach every day reading their books. The heated pool was very nice. Couldn't have been any better.

Family friendly place, clean and updated furniture. Easy short walk to the beach with private access. I've been going here since the 80s and I will continue to come back. We've stayed in several units and really like 1a with first floor easy commute to car without having to wait for the elevator. It tends to be a little more quiet since it is the furthest unit from the pool and beach. The only hiccup was the tv remotes didn't always work and wifi was getting updated while we were there, which was a big improvement to the accessibility in the back half of the week.

When we arrived at check in time, we were told our room wasn't ready. So, we had to wander around for an hour. Seems the previous guest, an elderly gentleman, fell from the tub and did damage to the wall and door and repairs had to be made. The freezer leaked water into the refrigerator which leaked on the top shelf and into the crispers, and the floor. Our first then minutes in the condo started with my wife getting on her hands and knees to clean the water on the floor. This was a Saturday and was told someone would be there Monday to fix the leak but, no one ever showed up. Despite these inconveniences, we had an overall pleasant stay, and will definitely consider staying here in the future.

My family's first time in Gulf Shores and our first time with Bender Realty. Sandpiper 1A was a very clean and well stocked condo. Everything works and in order. Less than 100 yards from the beautiful sandy beach. 3/4 mile from a small grocery store.
Do Not pass it up. They have everything you need and cheaper than Wal-Mart which is 4 miles away. We will definitely be back.

I will not hesiated to stay again. Thank you for the oppertunity to be a guest.

The only thing that could make the stay better is Having less chair rentals out on the beach. Was their for 10 days and not once were half the chairs rented.
Also need to spray for ants around the grounds. Had two people in our group with ant bites one had to go to have a shot because of a recation to the bit.
Need to get more chairs out side of the units people were taking them because they did not have but one or two.

We have stayed at the Sandpiper the last three summers and plan to do so again this year. I continue to be shocked at what an amazing value it is. It's so much cheaper than a hotel room, yet it's a whole condo and right on the beach! The condo we stayed in last year, 1A, lost a few points for cleanliness; there was sand on the kitchen table and there was a terrible smell in the kitchen (which we alleviated by running the garbage disposal). Those are minor quibbles, though. The Sandpiper is not the ritziest place on the beach, but it is generally clean and well-maintained, and the condos are nicely decorated and furnished. Everyone we've spoken with at Bender has been an absolute pleasure to deal with. We hope to keep returning to the Sandpiper for many summers to come!

This is our second stay in this property, but first in the one-bedroom unit. We loved the quiet location away from poolside. The only adjustments I could suggest: 1) as it was early in the season,the pool heater needed to be turned on, and 2)the couch/bed in the living room was not very comfortable. Otherwise, everything was great.
