We've been coming here for 15+ years. Excellent property, excellent location. Our condo owners are consistently sprucing up and updating the interior. We have noticed others not so much so, older furnishings, flooring could use replacing.

We treated my SIL and BIL to a vacation at the Sand Piper, their favorite vacation spot! The condo was nicely decorated, clean and had wonderful views! The size was just perfect. It was nice to sit outside on the deck and talk to other vacationers. Interesting the majority of folks we met were regulars of the Sand Piper! I give the Sandpiper 5's across the board!

the view from our condo is priceless, every morning we can see the gulf from the dining room table. The condo is comfortable and feels like home. We love it! Bender Realty has taken good care of us for the past 3 years, they do a great job of making us comfortable and welcome, thanks Bender.

We had a great stay, love the condo that's why we rebook each year. The floors could have been a little cleaner, but I understand the quick turn around from guest to guest. We would rather get in our condo earlier on Saturday, than wait until,after 3 for the floors to be spotless!!

Our overall stay at the sandpiper was wonderful!! This was our 29 the year at the sandpiper. The only complaint I have from this year was how late we got in the condo. 5:00pmI even think it was after five. In our 29 years at the Sandpiper this has never happened before. We checked in at around 12 or 12:30 and the lady at Bender said she would call when our place was ready. We went ahead and bought grocery. We were back at the condo by 2:30, thinking we would get the call. When we got there we notice it was being cleaned. I thought check-in time was 3:00 so we started unloading our things not knowing it would be two hours later before we got in. The two ladies that were in there when we got there left l and another lady came to check and she had to clean it again and then we had to wait on someone else to come and check it again, We waited and waited!!!! This was not the way I wanted to start our vacation. I hope this will not happened next year when we celebrate 30 years at the sandpiper. My mother started this journey 29 nine years ago and it has been a wonderful part of our family. My parents have now gone on to be with The Lord in heaven now and my mother Barbara Casey loved the Sandpiper she never wanted to leave on Saturday. I have now passed on the rental of this condo to my niece. Quinn Hammons and looked forwarded to seeing y'all next summer.

This was my 1st time at Sandpiper, but won't be our last! Location is fabulous, pool & beach convenience is phenomenal. The condo is VERY well equipped, owner has thought of everything. Not that we spent an awful lot of time inside, the cleaning fee is steep for what very little they do...(needs a good thorough dusting).We'll see ya'll next year!

We stayed at the Sandpiper in May so it wasn't as crowded as the summer months. From the beginning the Bender Staff was friendly, knowledgeable and very helpful. Our room was ready when we arrived, clean and extremely comfortable. We loved being right on the beach and having the pool. We went back and forth as we pleased. The pool was the perfect size and my 5 year old loved it. The beach was clean, not crowded at all, had a volleyball net already set up and chairs available upon rental. Sandpiper is close to great restaurants (DeSoto's, Franco' Italian Restaurant, Tacky Jacks and of course you have to eat at Lamberts in Foley which is an easy 15 minute drive.) We will definitely be staying at Sandpiper again. I love the deck that wraps around the entire condo. Even when it rained we were still able to set outside and enjoy watching the ocean. The views are amazing from the front porch. There is even a swing for guests to use downstairs overlooking the beach. Sandpiper is a beautiful and comfortable place that is located close to restaurants and attractions. It really is worth all five stars!

Rental was very nice. Check in process with the cleaning service could use some fine tuning. Too many levels of signing off. Felt like we lost a full day on the beach because we were waiting to get the "ok" to "move" into our rental. After that the week was marvelous.

Even before we arrived, we were very pleased with the constant communication from Bender Reality. From the initial contact to the safety check-in telephone call 30 minutes prior to our arrival, it felt as if we were the only customers they had. The calendar on the website helped to create an anticipation for the experience. We found the condo to be fully equipped, clean, easily accessible. The view from our outdoor living area and from the windows inside the condo gave a panoramic view of the beach and the Gulf. Although we did not use the pool, it was inviting. While we were there, we were politely asked by Joe and his crew if they could enter the condo to put up smoke detectors. It was obvious from his conversation he is proud of the Bender organization and touted "it was the best on the coast". Having relatives in the past staying at the Sandpiper and hearing their stories about their wonderful experiences, we are so glad everything they said was true. We sincerely hope in the future to stay at the Sandpiper, particularly in this unit as snowbirds from Louisville, Kentucky.

We had a wonderful time in 7A as usual. This was my 17th year to spend a week of my summer in this particular condo. It has always been an enjoyable experience. The condo provides a relaxing, family friendly atmosphere that allows everyone to enjoy a restful week of vacation at the beach. We always meet new people as well as rekindle friendships with people from the past years. Our particular condo is very comfortable, and always updated and in good condition. I've stayed at numerous condos in the Gulf Shores/Orange Beach area my entire life, but the Sandpiper is my favorite place to stay. Also, the staff at Bender is very helpful and accommodating with any issues that come up with our condo or stay.

Your properties are always clean and well kept. I stand amazed after staying for over 25 years at the Sandpiper that it is still as welcoming as ever and nothing seems "tired" nor worn. More than that, the folks at Bender are most accommodating and friendly. We like to come to a place that is quiet and relaxing -- our experience was just that. Thank you!!!

Stay was great. Disapointed that the jelly fish had control of the beach..several kids were stung. I was told thare was a courtyard where our groul could assemble,(50 Folks). That was not available, the tiny courtyard had a "keep off grass" sign. Too many radios at the pool. Overall, The Sandpiper is a nice place to stay. We would return (if we knew the jelly fish were not there.)

Booked for a long weekend and had a great experience. #7A was really nice and property overall has aged well. As expected, beaches were pretty crowded and "people" mix was random. Extremely impressed with Bender and loved the functionality of their smart phone app. The only (small) negative on the unit was that master bedroom's carpet was a little worn and a tack strip was beginning to show at the threshold into bathroom. Again, would recommend to others and would definitely stay there again.
