Bender is easy to deal with. Communication is excellent!My only con is there is no work out facility and I asked to use their location next door and was told I could not. Most places that have multiple locations let you use work out facilities at their sister properties.

We're so glad you enjoyed your stay in this lovely condo. Because each building is overseen by a separate property manager and condo association, we do not have the authority to allow guests to use the facilities in a property for which they do not have a reservation. We hope to assist you in planning your next visit - either in the lovely Sandpiper or in another condo that has an exercise room.

Reviewer Comments:
This was my third time vacationing at Sandpiper, and while I enjoyed my stay, I did have some issues. The unit was very nice and I would highly recommend it, the location, beach, etc. is fantastic. On the less than positive side there were people smoking EVERYWHERE, very rowdy unsupervised children at the pool multiple times, and it was a little frustrating because of that. The previous times I stayed here security seemed to have a better presence and I did not have any of these issues.

Sandpiper is an open property, with all of the units surrounding the pool area. Because of its layout, many families and friends come in large groups. We appreciate your repeat patronage and welcome the opportunity to assist you in booking your next vacation on the Gulf Coast!

Reviewer Comments:
The Sandpiper resort is a trip back to the beach vacations I took with my parents in the 70s. I mean this in the best way possible. 15B was a comfortable unit. It offers no fancy bells and whistles but still has everything one needs for a relaxing stay. The 3 story complex's smaller number of units (as opposed to the monstrous high rises lining the beach) translates to an uncrowded private beach, available seating at the pool and open parking which all made for an enjoyable visit. The only negative from our week here (and my reason for 2 stars for property management) was the lack of an onsite security guard to enforce the posted quiet hours of 10p-8a, as our stay coincided with a large group who consistently sang and played very loud music most nights until 11p or later. I even went outside one night to look for a security guard to complain to about the noise and none could be found.

There is just no place like Sandpiper! We're so glad that you enjoyed your stay in this very special property. There is security every night, and they rove between properties; if you did not see him or her, he may have been next door. However, a quick call to Bender Realty's after hours service would have brought a quick solution to your problem. We welcome the chance to assist you in booking your next Sandpiper vacation!

For about 20 years we have been staying at the Sandpiper with four other families. The common balcony is great for getting together. The rooms are always clean and well furnished. Good access to the beach. Great location for access to restaurants and other activities. Our only complaint is other guests playing music too loud at the pool.

We had the best time. The condo was beautiful. The pictures don’t do it justice. We loved everything about it. It was very clean and just steps away from the beach. It really is the most adorable set up with the decks. We were there with several other families and everyone really liked their units. The beach was gorgeous the week we were there. It was my favorite beach vacation, yet. Just a great experience in every way.

We had a great time, the condo was updated with beautiful furnishings. The pool is right outside your door and the beach is steps away. The views of the beach are awesome from the balcony. The only complaint we had was the mattresses in the condo are very worn out. I slept in every bed in the place and was miserable when I woke up. We all wound up taking turns sleeping on the sofa because it was way better than the beds. Other than that, we had a wonderful time and will return.
