This was a great week for us. The rental was great. So great that my family has said that we will be down next year staying here. We have been coming down here for 30+ years and stayed at a similar condo facility but I have been told we will have a new home base when we come back. Very clean and everything was well kept.

Reviewer Comments:
Somewhat older property is very well maintained. We like the layout; condos arranged in a u-shape with a common boardwalk allows one to meet the neighbors and make friends. Much nicer than a high-rise with a private balcony, but no interaction with other residents unless you share an elevator ride. Had a couple of minor maintenance issues, but these were handled promptly and efficiently by the rental management (Bender Realty). Follow up by Bender to ensure everything was going well. This was our third visit to this resort and we have already booked our return in 2018.

We love the open environment here! Common boardwalks link every unit, allowing us to meet new people! We have made life-long friends, and keep in contact even after going home from our winter vacations. The staff at Bender Realty is friendly and professional. They truly want to make your vacation experience as good as possible. Problems and issues (though few) are handled promptly. This is our third year at the Sandpiper and we have already booked our visit for winter of 2018.

Have stayed at the Sandpiper many times. This has to be the cleanest and most well equipped condo in the complex.Sure hope it's available the next time I plan to get away. Bender management is always friendly and helpful.

We stayed a week in this condo with two other friends, and all of us agreed it was a great place to stay. It is clean, bright, comfortable, and the view is fantastic. We loved the porch especially. The owners did a great job renovating this unit without breaking the bank. One suggestion might be to add a Keurig one cup coffee maker. Otherwise, it was well equipped. Owners might also consider replacing outdated faucets, which were a bit awkward to use. Overall, it was a wonderful condo. From what we could tell, though, from our friends’ unit and what you could see of the others, it would definitely be a more desirable condo. Most looked like they coulld use a major update. They might like seeing the potential of their own units by looking at the excellent job done by the owners of 8B

Our stay was wonderful! The people at Bender are great! I really enjoyed the private deck in unit 8B,that was the highlight of the unit unfortunately.Everything could have been a lot cleaner!There was sand all over the floor and all over the seat cushions at the dining table, my feet got dirty from walking on the floor within the first 10 minutes :-(the mirrored wall was full of fingerprints and smears. I had to wash the sheets on the beds because they were hairs on the sheets and I wasn't sure if the linens have been changed or not. The furniture is cute and "beachy" but is dirty and stinks, I had to put blankets down to sit on. something had splashed all over the front of the cabinets, the dishwasher, the fridge, and the wall above the kitchen sink and have not been wiped off. I had to clean the condo before we could relax! I should have been reimbursed my cleaning fee although I know that will not happen. I did call Bender to inform them. I love this condo complex and used to stay here years ago, it is right on the beach and I do love that! I will be back next year but will stay at a different unit.

As before, we enjoyed our stay at the Sandpiper. The unit was clean, and furnished well. If there was anything to be fixed, it would be the swing on the porch...some of the boards need fixing. Would be nice if there were instructions for the TVs. Couldn't get the TVs to work correctly in either bedroom. Other than those items mentioned above, we had an awesome time staying in unit 8B.

We stayed in 15B and 8B. 8B is a beautiful suite but needs a better master small and to soft. larger beds in the guest bedroom would be a welcome improvement as well.
