Perfect Condo for a Guy's Trip
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: Three beds for three bodies. The kitchen was properly apportioned, and the rooms were clean and clutter-free. We had easy access to the pool and the beach. We were allowed to enjoy ourselves around the pool without being hassled by overbearing security, and we enjoyed the folks who were staying around us.

Great Location...Unit needs major updating
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have vacationed in Gulf Shores and stayed in Sandpiper about 5 times over the last 10 years. We love the location and Bender Realty is very easy to work with. However, we stayed in 5C for the first time and the unit is in dire need of updating. It needs new paint and a deep clean of the floors, walls, windows, and vents. It was not clean and walking on the floor without shoes was uncomfortable. The furniture is old, but functional. It's the only key unit and that is extremely inconvenient when you go to the beach every day. We will definitely be back to Sandpiper, but we will not stay in 5C again.

Love the Sandpiper and Gulf Shores
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. 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: Our rental was available earlier than we expected, which was a pleasant surprise. The tub in the first bathroom drained very, very slow, so if people took back to back showers, the second person ended up standing in the shower water of the first. The shower head also fell off, but Bender responded quickly and replaced it. The beds were uncomfortable, so, we all struggled to sleep. The kitchen was well equipped and has nice stainless steel appliances. I would probably not rent 5C again due to the location in the building as you have no shade on the deck in front of your condo.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Love the Sandpiper! Steps from the beach and walking to dining and retail. Units are spacious and updated from my experience. Especially appreciated the convection oven. Only downside was the mattress in the master: extremely uncomfortable and needs replacing.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We Love staying at Sandpiper. We have stayed at Sandpiper for many years, but this was our first stay in 5C. We feel that the unit could have been cleaner. It also is in need of updating, compared to the previous unit we stayed in, and other units we've been in. We did re-book, for next year. It has a Great view and I Love the small balcony, in the morning. And the Staff at Bender are the BEST !!

Gulf Shores #5
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. 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: This rental property was wonderful, it had everything we needed in the kitchen, beach and pool. A few suggestions - change the mattress in the main room, there is a sink hole in the middle. Also, please consider changing your lock to a combination and not a key. We lost our key on the first day and had to pay the fine. A lot of the other units are by combination, which seems really nice. The bathroom in the hall drained really, REALLY slow, so it was sort of yuck with sand. The beach sand is really wonderful and the pool was great. This is a great place for families. The condo was great for a family of 4, we had a great time. Thanks

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Sandpiper is a great place to stay. The kids loved the pool. The main bedroom suite was great. The kitchen was in good condition. The only issues were specific to this unit. We couldn't find two remote controls for two of the three TVs. One was eventually located under some furniture. The furniture (specifically, the sofa chairs) were uncomfortable. The front door latch does not function properly and needs to be fixed. Speaking of the door, it would be awesome if this unit used a pass code rather than physical keys. It was be a huge convenience for guests and Bender staff.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We always enjoy our stay at the Sandpiper. This was the first time in 5C. Nice location for sitting in the sun. Could use more baking pans, but we found a wonderful bakery so not that big of a deal this year.
