Great Property However 8A needs some updates

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental.

Perfect

We love this property. First floor, directly on the beach with a large balcony and porch swing just cannot be beat. Large living area, bedrooms, and bathrooms with beautiful beach views out the windows was just icing on the cake. We will try to stay here every year because we are now spoiled with the best!

Another great Sandpiper vacation

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: We have stayed at the Sandpiper many times before and always enjoy ourselves. This time the only comment I would make is that we were disappointed to have an owner near us with their dog. We rent other properties with "no pet" policies and this is more to our liking. We question the wisdom of the HOA policy??

8A an OK rental

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The location to the beach is amazing. We love the dec, however the swing could go away. It is just in the way. A recliner was added which was wonderful. We have had the opportunity to see some of the other rentals that have been updated and the very old carpeting is gone. All in all it is a good rental that needs some updating.

Fantastic Vacation!

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: Bender Realty is always great to work with. This is our 2nd year at Sandpiper, but 1st time in 8A. We already booked this unit again for 2020! The location is perfect, beach access so easy, the view from the deck is fantastic, the swing on the deck was a favorite, and the pool was great. We meet so many nice people each visit. It is a great place to stay and we will be coming back for years! Suggestions to fix: main bath had anchors in the wall but missing the towel bar, the removable shower head in main bath is pulling out of the wall so bangs constantly each time used.
Respuesta de VrboOwner, el 23 may. 2022
Sandpiper is a terrific property for enjoying family time in Gulf Shores, and the private, beach front balcony of 8A just can't be beat. Thank you for your input; the items you mentioned have already been addressed. We look forward to seeing you next year!

Great location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The decorating is done so that this is really homey, beachy feeling. The beds are comfortable and the balcony looking to the ocean is just what you would want for a getaway. The picture depicts a recliner which we do not have, that addition would be wonderful. Seating space to relax would be enhanced.The carpet and flooring appears to be original and could use updating. The tack strips are coming through transitioning to the hall. As always Bender staff is very responsive to any calls.

Units need updated !! Living in the 60s !!

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately 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 do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: For the price it's time to find a new location. Price increase is absolutely ridiculous. Have been coming as a large group for many years. Usually 45 to 50 of the same group. Most of us feel the same way.

We see that you enjoyed a ten-night stay in this beach front Sandpiper unit. Looking at the rate you paid, it appears that you were charged the Valued Customer Rate as we truly appreciate your repeat patronage. While issues weren't specified other than the rates, your low scores for the housekeeping and property condition indicate problems you may have experienced. We hope that whatever issues you may have had, you reached out to us so that we could address them. As a Bender guest of many years, it is our hope that you understand you can always reach out to us for assistance.

Great Location lovely decorating

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The location is wonderful with the attached deck. The decoration is warm and welcoming, overall pretty clean.It could use some updating with the floors, there were some edges the carpet had worn and we could feel the tacks. The picture shows a recliner but there was not one in the unit. Also the dressers were minimal. One tall one and one small one for both bedrooms. It would be a nice addition to have drawer space available. As always Gulf Shores is a wonderful location and Benders is very accommodating. Hoping to be back next year for sure.

Love the Sandpiper

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Thank goodness for Bender! No matter how big/small the request is they take care of it! Does this unit need a bit of updating, Yes it does. Did we have a great time despite, yes we did! The cleaning crew could be more detailed or even once a month do a major clean. We pay good money for the cleaning it should be better.The pool, the beach, the other renters made our trip so enjoyable! We were able to grill out with multiple families or just by ourselves! The property was going through a major cleanup on the outside the week we were there.

It's always a pleasure, having you stay with us! Sandpiper is such a family-friendly place to stay, and the private balcony in 8A is so special. We were happy to discount our Sandpiper guests due to the work going on during their stay. We can't wait to see you next year or even sooner!

Snow Bird

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat 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: Overall, this location is wonderful. However, it could use a very thorough cleaning, vents, a new toilet seat and updating. Comparing to the other units that have new flooring, updated kitchens and showers instead of tubs this is definitely in need of some TLC. The deck is wonderful, the patio furniture is very nice, but it would be beneficial to remove the swing to allow for utilizing the space. The carpet definitely needs replacing. There was the recliner that was added, very nice to kick back. All in all I would consider renting again.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: As a snowbird this has been a nice location. The decor is warm and inviting. Missing is having at least one recliner. The chairs are ok, but to lean back for a quick nap would be great. Also a good review of the cupboards would be good. Over time supplies accumulated and there are about 50 plates and duplicate utensils. I didn’t count the plates but all the extras take up precious space. These things are only suggestions because I am planning to book for next year. Because of our lengthy stay i would be ok organizing a few of those things. I would put the extras in a box for owner review.

Wayyyyy Overpriced for what you’re paying for.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. 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: Pee stains on the mattresses, pee stains on the mattress covers, mold on the mattress water protectors. The kitchen is very outdated with old appliances, the furniture is old and outdated, the master bed headboard is still broken from last year. Black mold was painted over in the master bedroom where the back door leads to the deck. Ceiling in the living room is cracked, sagging, and deteriorating. For the amount of money that the owners charge to rent this place, you would expect better quality and amenities. The owners continue to raise the price every year with absolutely zero upgrades.
Respuesta de VrboOwner, el 10 jun. 2025
We truly regret the housekeeping issues you experienced during your stay, and we have reduced the housekeeping fee paid and provided compensation. All beachfront doors at Sandpiper are being repaired; we have a contract with those repairs on schedule. As a valued customer with us for many years, you receive the Valued Customer Rate, rather than the listing rate for a year out. I see that you have rebooked this condo for next year; we have four other beachfront units that are available, and I encourage you to look at the pictures of these to see if one of them will suit your family better than this unit that you have stayed in for the past four years.

We Love this Unit

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have been trying to get this unit for years and finally got it. The view is phenomenal. The inside of the unit is comfortable. The carpet has needed to be replaced from what I could tell for years now. It’s worn, thin, and looks dirty. The flatscreen in the living room is small and outdated. Everything else was great. The only issue we had with our stay is the neighboring Bender property “Caribbean”. They are evidently a pet friendly location and all day, all night, we had dogs barking, howling, whining, whimpering on their balconies. Loud enough to where it would wake us up at night and in the mornings. We have rented this unit again for next year and hope we don’t have to deal with the noisy animals next door.

Price is finally too much to justify

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat 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've stayed at the Sandpiper (and in this specific room) for years. We love it -- but due to price increases, this will likely be the last year we stay. Don't get us wrong -- location and staff are great -- but for the amount of updates/upgrades/amenities available -- the price increases over the past few years have, in our opinion, been unjustified. The building is starting to get a bit outdated, elevator is problematic, cleaning crew is passable at best -- there's always something left undone or not quite clean (dishes were horrible). 8A, one of the more expensive rooms, is WAY too outdated for the price being charged. For the price being paid, there are better options out there.
