We love Sandpiper

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: Overall we had a great experience. We have stayed at Sandpiper for 6+ years. However, this year the crowd at the pool from about 5pm - 11:00 pm was quite loud and rowdy. The music was very loud and the drinking was a little too much.

Beach week

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. 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 had a LOVELY time - the weather, company and accommodations were great! Some of the furnishings were dated, but everything still worked. As they were leaving, our friends mentioned that the door to the hallway bathroom was hard to close and did not stay closed. They also said the hot water handle on the bathroom sink leaked. I would've called you from there if I knew it before we left!

Wonderful beach getaway!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. 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: The condo is beautifully appointed with all of the basic amenities you would hope to find. We enjoyed the views of the beach from the deck. While we didn’t spend all that much time indoors, the furniture was comfortable and clean. The bed in the master bedroom felt small—likely not a queen-sized bed. Overall, we would choose this unit again!

Needs updating

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. 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: The unit is a blast from the past. The Wicker furniture is oversized and it would be a benefit to get a couple recliners and a smaller couch. The beds are comfortable. The toaster needs to be replaced. It would also be helpful to have some hooks inside the door for jackets and a small shelf for shoes. It can help to keep the sand out of the unit. Also hooks in the bathroom for towels. Although all of items on display are nice, they take up valuable space. Also the carpet under the table is a bit of a hazard. The location is wonderful as you can open the shades and have a great view of the Gulf. I believe blinds might be a better option as I felt like I was in a fishbowl when they were opened. Other units have a refrigerator with water and ice options on the exterior, that also could be updated. These are just my suggestions. Thank you.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The unit is in a good location and is a wonderful place for a family vacation as you can see family members out on their decks and at the pool and beach.

Great week at the Beach!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. 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: Sandpiper 6B is a great condo. Right on the beach! The whole condo has a family friendly atmosphere. Since it only has 3 floors - no waiting on elevators and not as crowded. There was even an evening beach party one night for a birthday party - had a DJ on the beach and everyone brought chairs and listened to great music. The condo was very clean. Beds were very comfortable. It could use a few more things in the kitchen - plates, bowls, etc. But we made do with what we had. One downside is that it did not have any “extras” like other condos we have rented. For example - there were no beach chairs, boogie boards, or beach toys. So be prepared to bring your own or use the beach service. Overall, we had a great and relaxing week and enjoyed our time there.

Won't go back to Sandpiper Unit 6B

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. 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've stayed at Sandpiper each winter for the past 8 years. This was our first stay at Unit 6B. The unit is sparsely outfitted with kitchenware and basic cleaning needs. We bought our own mixing bowls and cooking utensils. There was no dustpan to use with the broom, so we bought one. We also had to solicit a floor mop from the management company, then purchased a bucket to use with the mop. Drywall tape in one bedroom was pulled back from ceiling to floor. Unit over-decorated in "palm tree" themes. Faux plants took up precious floor and counter space. Living room furniture old; seat cushions sagged to the point where you ended up sitting on chair/sofa frame and got uncomfortable within 30 minutes. Bedroom carpeting old, worn and dingy. Bender Realty staff extremely friendly and eager to assist when we brought issues to their attention. Wish Sandpiper's pool was heated and available in January & February. Otherwise, Sandpiper complex seems always to keep up with overall maintenance issues.

Eighth year, and a little disappointed

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: This is our eighth year at the Sandpiper but our first in Unit 6B. The complex is managed by Bender Realty. Their staff is friendly and very responsive to issues brought to their attention. The Sandpiper Condominiums have had some issues. There is only an outdoor swimming pool, but it is not heated in the winter months. This year the pool has been drained and the entire pool deck closed so it could be prepared for painting. This pool was repainted just a couple of years ago. Though unable to swim, we can't even sit or congregate in the sun on the deck. This year the complex was having the stones in the covered parking areas removed and replaced. Half the parking was lost for a couple of weeks while this work was underway. Our stay in Unit 6B has been satisfactory. There is a queen bed in the master and two double beds in the second bedroom. Both bathrooms have tubs you must step over to enter, and neither has safety bars to assist in avoiding falling. The bedrooms are identically carpeted, but the master carpeting is very worn and dirty. The unit is not as well equipped with day-to-day necessities as other units we've stayed in at this complex. Minimal number of bowls and cooking utensils. Only one dish towel, but no dish cloths for washing. There was a broom, but no dustpan, mop or bucket. We got a mop from the management company but bought a bucket and dustpan. We also purchased more dish towels and bowls for our use. The Bender-provided bed linens included king-sized sheets and blankets for the queen bed. This sometimes created a tripping hazard, so we purchased queen sized linens and comforter to use during our stay. The microwave oven was broken, but promptly replaced by Bender management. One dining chair leg found broken, but again repaired by Bender. Living room sofa & matching armchairs have seats that sag to the point where it's hard on your flesh. Will see if another unit is available for next year before committing to rebooking 6B.

Only complaint was the internet, but we weren’t there long enough to even notice very much!
