I had a great stay at Sandpiper through Bender Realty. Bender was very responsive to my calls about the incoming hurricane and the check in process was so simple. The condo was clean and as advertised. Great stay!

My family of four and another family of five really enjoyed this house. We will definitely return!
A couple of things to note...
1. The bedroom doors do not lock. Not a huge deal, but good to know going in.
2. The bedding is thin, so bring an extra blanket if you like heavy blankets for sleeping.
Neither is a big enough reason for us not to return. The house is directly on the beach and the views are beautiful. The shaded porch is a huge plus!

The condo was very clean and is decorated very brightly and beachie. The kitchen was well equipped with everything needed. There are a couple of issues that need addressing but nothing that detracted from our stay. (The door to the hot water heater closet was off track)

Great time as usual, no cons other than the condo and furniture, beds, night stands need updated. Oh, we usually thought that dish soap, toilet papers and a few other essentials were supplied. Is this no longer the case? This unit had absolutely nothing for us. David

We loved it because we could take our little dog. Seemed everyone there had a fur baby so that was awesome. Really like pools, I realize it’s not peak season but nothing was crowded on site. Management very friendly and helpful.

Clean, great location, and family enjoyed this gathering. One of our favorite places to visit. Due to Covid, mother's stroke this kept us away for a few years but plan on returning in future. All answers below would be a 5.

My husband and I stayed in unit #503, Caribbean condos. I loved all the beach decor. Everything was clean and organized. The balcony overlooking the beach was great. We could see porpoises (or dolphins) swimming from our balcony. Everyone was so nice and friendly. We prepared breakfast and lunch in the condo and then ate at local restaurants for dinner. We had a good supply of dishes and pots/pans. The bed was very comfortable. It was very quiet and peaceful. We had a problem with one of the TVs and we called Benber and maintenance came within 30 minutes and fixed it. We had a great vacation.

This was our first time using Bender Vacation Rentals. We couldn't have been more pleased with our experience. The condo was wonderful. Bender Associate, Marylyn was extremely helpful with our check-in process. She also assisted with our request to extend our stay for one extra day. She was wonderful! We had a very minor issue with our television service. An extremely nice and courteous maintenence technician from Bender responded within a few hours and resolved the issue! Fantastic experience!!

Great location, recently updated, new and quick elevator, great views of the ocean, could sit by pool and still see the beach and hear the waves crash and sea gulls chirp. Being able to take my fur baby to a great location was the most important thing to me. The manager and staff were very helpful. I definitely plan to go back

Stayed at Phoenix Gulf Shores September 8-12th. Bender Vacation Rentals managed the unit we were in and I can say they were awesome with every aspect. Always prompt on answering texts and keeping us informed. Had rented another unit in different complex and had issue with balcony going to be worked on while there. The managing company (VACASA) was horrible to deal with in trying to get a refund. So I definitely appreciate Bender and all they did to make our trip enjoyable!!

A perfect seven day vacation. Unit was beautiful, terrific view of the Gulf, and no issues with the unit. Hurricane Helene passed close to us, but was no problem. We stay at this unit on all of our trips to Gulf Shores. I highly recommend this unit and Bender Realty.

Awesome condo! Perfect for two! This is our second time staying in this condo! Everything works perfectly! It is very clean and well maintained! The 2 bathrooms are a plus for my husband and myself! The only changes I would suggest would be to upgrade the king mattress or add a topper to it! But, this condo is our favorite in Royal Palms! We will be back!!
