Very good stay. Outside of property immaculate, but condo in bathrooms could have been cleaner on the floor. Looked like under bath room benches no one swept. Also towels could have been nicer. The kitchen was fully stocked and was great to eat in. Living area and pull out sofa comfortable.

Spring break rental

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a wonderful week at the Sandpiper, and we will be back! However, we are unlikely to choose 4A again unless there are no other units available. The unit is very dated, carpet feels dirty, and kitchen is lacking in items that are found in other units (e.g. wine classes, serving bowls). The oven doesn't cook uniformly, and the washer and dryer had issues while we were there.
Response from VrboOwner on 12 Apr, 2024
We're glad you enjoyed your stay at Sandpiper; it's a terrific place to spend your beach vacation. Thank you for your input; we will conduct an evaluation so that this unit will be up to minimum Sandpiper standards. We welcome the opportunity to assist you in booking your next visit to the Gulf Coast!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We always have fun there. Did not get in till 4 and got there at 11. Talk to to young lady on site who was the person who check the rooms after they after they were clean and she said she would get us in first thing and it did not happen that was a disappointment. The pool did not not seam to be clean daily a lot oil standing and dead bugs. Our TV did turn. Had to call to see how they work.
Response from VrboOwner on 14 Oct, 2022
Check in is between 3 and 5, as stated in your correspondence. As a turnaround, an early check in was not likely, and we were happy to get you in by 3:32 pm. The pool is cleaned in the very early hours of the morning before guests are up and about. We're glad you you enjoyed your stay at Sandpiper, and we look forward to assisting you in booking your next visit to the Gulf Coast!

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great experience at the Sandpiper, until the last day when someone stole our beach umbrella and all of our beach toys. Unfortunate that you can not leave wet items out to dry without someone feeling like they must take them. Overall, the Sandpiper is a good place to stay.
Response from VrboOwner on 27 May, 2022
We're so glad you enjoyed your stay in Gulf Shores. Sandpiper 4A is a great unit in a lovely property. We regret the loss of your items. Please call Bender Realty when you are ready to return to the Gulf Coast!

July Family Gathering

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We come with many family members and love the location and layout of The Sandpiper. We have been coming for 25+ years. The units are very dated with mismatched furniture, and in desperate need of maintenance. The kitchen and all of the pots, pans, utensils, dinnerware, glassware need to be addressed. There was not even a divider for the utensil drawer - they were just all thrown in the drawer. There were peanuts on the floor and soda or something dripping down the wall upon arrival. All of the units we stayed in need drastic attention.
Response from VrboOwner on 30 May, 2022
Thank you for your input. Sandpiper is a beautiful property with a layout designed for family groups. We regret the issues you experienced during your stay and are addressing those now. Please know that our office, just half a mile away, is open seven days a week in order to assist a guest in whatever needs they may have. We look forward to helping you book a future family vacation and will gladly assist you in finding the units that will be perfect for you and your family.

4A Review

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Approximately 35 members of my extended Louisville family vacation together in June for 20+ yrs. The last 10 + yrs. we (my wife and guests) have stayed in 4A and herein lies my complaint. For $2000.00 a week I would expect furniture/appliances at least as nice as the furnishings in my own home. Too much to expect? 4A still maintains a keyed entry into the condo. The majority have a number pad. But it sets the tone for the rest of the “tour”. The LR furniture, transferred from 5A to 4A (same owners) several years ago, including the kitchen table, a pull out couch with a mattress as thick as hammock, a love seat, furniture the quality of a Goodwill showroom, wore out and threadbare. The side chair is an afterthought. The TV on a cabinet, works well but if mounted with a $12.00 bracket would save room in the cramped LR. The stove is what you would expect in a rental apartment in a college town. The washer & dryer fine. Fridge adequate. The master bedroom mattress is broken down, head board hanging on by a thread. Dresser drawers practically fall out when opened. A second flat panel TV sits on the dresser in front of the mirror. Again, the TV mounted with a $12.00 bracket and removing the mirror would be nice. Please add a curtain on the single window over the blind so the sunlight doesn’t stream in every morning like a Hollywood spotlight. The bathroom mirror is the nicest thing in the bathroom. The vanity is the same quality as your 1976 local Econo Lodge. Same for the hallway bath. The second bedroom has a large tube tv sitting in the corner on a cabinet. Same window issue. Several of the wall plugs are wore out and will not hold a plug. I want to simply ask the owners, who I'm sure are nice people, to put some value into 4A so you feel like you’re getting what you’re paying for. For future visitors, who rent 4A, don’t expect much in amenities for the money you will spend. As for next year, we have declined 4A and have reserved another condo at the Sandpiper.<
Response from VrboOwner on 30 May, 2022
Thank you for your input. Your long-term association with Sandpiper is much appreciated, and your comments are helpful. As you are aware, each Sandpiper unit is individually owned, and as such, the furnishings and decor will vary widely. However, we will share your comments and concerns with the owners of this condo. We are glad that you have found a unit that will best suit your family for next year's vacation, and we look forward to seeing you in the future.

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We found the unit dirty and needed a deep clean and the closets were stuffed with beach toys. The kitchen table was even dirty. We checked 4 other units and found them to be clean, well furnished and updated. Other guests made the same observations and comments about our unit.
Response from VrboOwner on 19 May, 2022
We regret the issues you experienced and would have gladly addressed them immediately, had we known. The closet has already been de cluttered, right after you informed us. We hope to assist you in booking a future visit to Sandpiper, as we have many lovely units in this terrific property.
