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!!

My family of 5 stayed in this beautiful condo. It is PERFECT! With 3 teenagers, this condo had everything we needed and offers gorgeous views of the Gulf! Comfy beds, all the kitchen supplies you need to make meals from the condo when you just want to chill rather than go out to eat. You can even grill poolside! Very clean and well maintained as well as the entire building. The deck is large with comfortable furniture. We will definitely be returning to this one! Customer service from Bender is top notch too! Close to the pier and good restaurants and shops! PERFECT!

We had a wonderful visit at The BeeHive. We were able to check in early, which was great after traveling 6 hours with young kids. The house was very comfortable and had plenty of space for the 4 of us. We did make the decision to leave a day early because of the storm moving in but check out was very easy too. Would definitely revisit. Very cozy.

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!

This condo was perfect for our family of 4! Everything was nicely updated and we loved the low density complex. We also loved the convenience of how easy it was to get to the beach. Would stay again!

Extremely happy with our stay at Bender's Island Royale 906. The balcony and view were outstanding. The listing was accurate. We brought our bikes and the location is only a couple of miles from the Gulf State Park which has miles of nice quiet trails. The location is walking distance from some fun restaurants and stores. We ended up extending our stay by one day to avoid traveling north during hurricane Helene which was a very easy process with Bender. Communication was great, check in and out was easy and smooth.

We prefer a small complex rather than a large high rise It makes the entire stay much more relaxing Sandpiper has only 3 levels with 16 units each There is a nice pool and BBQ area which is kept very clean Also a plus, it's very easy to navigate the beach access

My partner stayed for 8 days and 7 nights in this condo with our 2 small dogs and would absolutely stay again. The property was clean and well maintained and the rental company was helpful whenever we had questions. Our only complaint about the stay was the the bed was not very comfortable. It seemed like it was a much older spring mattress. The couch was not comfortable to sit on either. We had to add extra pillows as we seemed to collapse into it. But overall, even with the bed and the couch we would stay here again.

Our stay was very relaxing. The condo unit was clean. We felt very comfortable in the unit. The chairs on the balcony were pleasant to sit in and watch the dolphins in the morning while drinking our coffee. The full moon was awesome as it shone on the gulf. The morning sunrises and sunsets were stunning. We definitely recommend this unit for a restful vacations.

i have been a vacationer at Gulf Shores since i was 13 years old! 33 years our family has been coming to this area. We lost our mom to cancer 5 years ago this was her favorite pace to be so we come about 4 times a year. BENDER went above and beyond when it comes to making sure our stay was the best one yet! By far the best company i have ever rented thru. I highly recommend Bender for all your travel needs. We will be returning again soon!! any issue we may have had was resolved promptly and the team was absolutely the best customer service i have ever experienced!

this is our second time at Sandpiper and it never disappoints. We had an amazing time at the beach, when we could go. But, you cant control the weather. We had fun in the pool and in local shops and restaurants. This is our favorite place to visit. Everything is so close here.

This place was great for our family and located in a very convenient spot for a great price! The only thing I will say is the master bedroom is a bit warmer than the rest of the house but a fan will help that!
