We always like staying in the Sandpiper! We were able to reserve unit 7A on short notice as other vacation plans changed. We had a great time and October is a wonderful time as the weather was nice and the beach was not crowded!

For the first time ever, we decided to take a trip to the beach in November. We were prepared for cool weather, but were pleasantly surprised. It was sunny and in the 70's everyday. We stayed at Sandpiper 16B. The condo was beautiful. We sat in the swing on the balcony and watched the beach restoration crew working. It was fascinating to see how it's done. The pool was heated and we made use of it daily. The condo was beautifully furnished and very comfortable. There was no wait at any of the restaurants and no traffic to contend with. We may just make a November beach vacation a tradition!

The condo was exactly what I wanted. The view was beautiful. Bender Reality is my favorite place to book when we come to Gulf Shores. Everything about our trip went smoothly with no problems. The office staff is so kind and welcoming!

Comfortable condo with good decor and of course the view is what makes it above average! Clean unit as described with current pictures, well maintained, did not have any pet odors. Great communication with the Bender staff. Always completely satisified with Bender Realty and the Caribbean complex. We have stayed in this low density condo in multiple units over the last 20 years and always have a great stay. No issues ever. This is one of the few condos that allows dogs, so be aware there will be lots of dogs! We did bring our dog and he loved the balcony! We like to shop at Rouse's for groceries and love all the local restaurants and fresh gulf seafood.

I can't say enough about the staff at Bender and the property itself. I loved how well the staff at Bender communicated with us throughout the process and their professionalism. The property itself was incredible and superbly maintained. We drove from Indiana, so we were ready to be on the beach. The check-in process was quick and easy. I would highly recommend this location and Bender Property Management.

We have stayed at the Caribbean numerous times over the past 10 years. Once again, we were definitely not disappointed. Condo 703 was styled and decorated beautifully as well as sparkling clean. Bender Realty has always been and continues to be our “go to” for our vacation rentals. The staff are always so helpful and friendly. I would definitely recommend Bender Realty and the Caribbean to anyone.

Upon entering the condo sofa cushions for miss placed. Pretzels were in the chairs and in the sofa and something was smashed in the carpet cockroach in the kitchen cockroach in their guest bathroom. Pillows smelled horrible and I had to go buy some new ones to use while we were there. We thoroughly cleaned before using anything. tub and toilets had not really been cleaned. Should have been refunded the cleaning fee since we did the cleaning.Other than that ,the view was beautiful. All appliances worked great. It’s still a great community at the Sandpiper.

This condo far exceeded our expectations, the kitchen had every pot, pan and dish needed. The furnishings were plentiful and comfortable. And those views from the balcony are gorgeous at sunrise and at sunset.

We loved the area with our condo right on the beach! We were close to restaurants and shopping centers. Our condo was nice and met our needs. The air did go out over night one night but it was repaired the next morning. We did think that the furniture could be updated but certainly are not complaining. The water in the kitchen never got hot so dishes were washed with cool water. The bedroom was roomy and the bed was comfortable. The agents at Bender Vacation Rentals were very helpful and personable which means a lot! Overall we had a great experience!

We had an absolutely wonderful time! We absolutely love sandpiper and can’t wait to return. The only thing that might make 10A a little bit better is having blinds in the front windows instead of curtains this would allow sunlight into the living room without everybody always being able to look in on you.

We enjoyed our stay very much, the location is perfect, we could not believe how close to the beach we were, I've heard the term steps from the beach, this place truly is. At night the temperatures were perfect to open the door and fall asleep to the sound of the waves crashing, we slept so good, The people at Bender were super nice and very helpful. We will definitely be back to stay at Edgewater, i don't want to stay anywhere else.

We had bulldozers on the beach in front of the house and a two foot long black pipe all week. They were pumping sludge from the lagoon and draining it onto the beach. This made the water black and it stunk. Next time instead of paying $XXXX plus, I’ll sit on my own deck and take the top off of my septic tank if I want to look at black water and smell sewage ❗️❗️

Nice view from the balcony and plenty of space in the condo for our family. Beach area in front of the pool area is very small but you can set up next to it.

We had plenty of room for the 2 of us. Loved all the colorful pictures, the painting of the Pink Pony was my favorite. Can’t beat the view from the balcony. Abundance of cooking item, kitchen fully stocked. A bit of wear and tear on door and molding but it’s like being at home since it’s not art of living in a home. Thank you so much for stay at your beautiful condo

Loved our stay- the condo, the furniture and decor, the location, the pool, and the rental company. It was perfect! Two small negatives: the kitchen isn’t stocked with ANY baking pans at all and the sofa bed is provided with twin sheets instead of full size.. and the mattress on it cannot be used it’s in such poor condition. But overall it was worth it and a great condo!!
