The Life’s a Beach house and Bender Realty were amazing! This was a family vacation with eleven adults and two toddlers…plenty of space, bedrooms, and bathrooms for all! Such a peaceful location down on the west side of Gulf Shores. I would highly recommend this house and anything else available through Bender Realty!! Can’t wait to go again!!!!

Loved this condo! Great location! We enjoy sitting on the balcony, and this unit had comfortable patio furniture and a great view. Kitchen was well stocked. Loved that the bar area has an ice-maker and blender. We’re definitely coming back!

We had a wonderful and relaxing stay. We really liked how the sandpiper seemed like its own little community. The pool and proximity to the beach was perfect!

My mother and I had such an amazing time here. Condo was exactly as the pictures showed. The hosts have done a great place making it comfortable and also having everything that was needed. Beds were nice. The place was clean. We were very pleased with our stay and hope to visit again! SO convenient to be right on the beach. Pool was nice. The balcony feels so private. Nice and large that it almost feels like a stand alone home vs. a condo. It was fantastic!

We had a great stay at our condo. The place had everything we needed with more than enough room for our family. We loved the easy access to the pool, beach and shower and bathrooms all downstairs! Parking was easy and close to our elevator and room. We loved dolphin watching from the big windows when we needed a beach break, and also using the balcony space to hang out when the kids went to sleep earlier. Thank you for a great stay.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Beautiful condo, it had everything we needed that we didn't realize we needed. The property manager kept in touch with us to see if we needed anything. It was a amazing trip, would definitely come back. Easy access to the beach in walking distance. Great restaurants around for all types of appetites. Even for the picky eater like me!! So if you want a nice cozy condo, quite and still a beautiful view check out The Village 13-D. You will love it. And also get your cardio in.

Loved our stay in this condo. You cannot beat the view and the fact that the windows open to hear the ocean is awesome. I received a text message daily making sure if I needed anything I knew I could reach out. Communication was great. Check in super easy. The bed in the master bedroom was super comfy. Super affordable place to stay! Some things to consider if you are looking to stay. Pool isn’t heated. It was kinda chilly a few of the days. And I wish there had been beach chairs/umbrella to use while here. There may have been in the storage unit by the pool but I couldn’t figure out how to get the code to work. :-) We ended up purchasing some and also renting chairs and umbrella from the service from the condo to the right. $40 a day. Not terrible. Overall 5/5 stars. Hated to leave

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: It was a great vacation. The condo was very nice and Bender realty was great. We had an issue with the water heater and they sent someone out within a half an hour of the phone call to repair it. They were very helpful and easy to contact.
