Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Everything was as promised and very niceWe had a good timePool and beach were the highlights

The location was perfect. Communication with management through the whole process was exceptional. Clean condo, spacious, pool area and courtyard was so gorgeous! Will definitely be a repeat costumer. I love the way the balconies are set up in the front. Enough space to have your own area, but also a “community” atmosphere. We also had our own small private balcony out of a bedroom. Literally nothing to gripe about. The people that run this place are top notch. You won’t regret it! ☺️

It had a great view of the ocean on the balcony. It was very convenient to the front steps and pool area.

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 The building is starting to get a bit outdated, elevator is problematic, cleaning crew is passable at best -- there's always something left undone or not quite clean (dishes were horrible). 8A, one of the more expensive rooms, is WAY too outdated for the price being charged.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.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We love West Beach and especially love Sandpiper. Every unit we have stayed at has been great. Right on the beach, nice pool and small (only 3 levels). This year we were in 16C which is on the end and has beachside view. It was nice to have coffee on our personal deck overlooking the Gulf each morning.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great stay at the Sandpiper! The pool took a day or 2 to get fixed (heater) but was wonderful for the rest of the week. The condo was clean and well kept too. I really like the keypad entry vs the physical key method as well. Parking was never a problem with plenty of room. Along with a great, and heated pool, my family enjoyed the grills. The only concern I do have are the price increases that seem a bit steep. Apparently the competition with Florida is heating up.

Other visitors don’t follow rules, smoke on premises, very loud our last night. Very close walk to the beach, pool was nice. No long waits for elevator

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.

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.

Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great time. The little ones loved the beach, pool and trip. The outside of the complex was well maintained. As far as this condo we would not book it again. It was very very dirty (comforter was full of stains) and needs a total update. When cooking in there were so many kitchen tools not there that were needed. I would recommend the Sandpiper but not this unit.

Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have been staying at the Sandpiper for the past 18 or so years. It has always been our happy place. However, upon our arrival this past week, we found the condo in unsatisfactory condition. Front door was covered in a film of what appeared to be sunscreen. My husband had to wash it with hot water as well as all the glass tabletops which were dirty and sticky and had not been cleaned. Empty water bottle on top of refrigerator. Appliances were dirty (stove top, oven and refrigerator had to be wiped down before use) and the double recliner in the living room was broken. Upholstery on kitchen chairs and living room furniture was stained. TV remote and kitchen clock were not working. Our bare feet were black with dirt from the condo floor. Attention to detail was obviously not a priority! The Sandpiper complex itself needs updating. Grounds in general were not up to par. Outside door light was burned out. Trash cans in grill area were overflowing, creating trash on the ground. Door mats were laying in the mulch on the lower level and there were bags of linens and toilet paper left outside a condo all week. Pool area was not maintained as there was never anyone on site to oversee the complex and stay on top of matters. We had to wash off the mobile carts before use as you could not put your groceries or personal belongings on them. Considering the weekly rental rates, I am sad to say we will be looking for other rental locations in the future. The view from the condo was great and our beach time was perfect but the Sandpiper needs much improvement! Many great memories made here over the years but it’s time to move on!

I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The rates keep jumping every single year and have now surpassed the price for two, plus airfare to all-inclusive to Aruba. I love the unit and its location, but the furniture is broken, outdated, dirty, black mold around the doorway out to the patio, mold on the mattress cover, sheets were stained and filthy. The location is great and very convenient to the pool and beach and the views are awesome, but this unit is WAY overpriced for the value. For $4k+ for 7 days, that place should look like a King Suite at the Hilton, but, it looks like a very old apartment with some fresh paint and flooring in the kitchen and living room. I’ve rented this unit for years but because of the price going up higher and higher, I doubt I will rent after next year. It’s just too much for what little value and the dirtiness that you get. You pay for the view and that’s pretty much it.

The condo could have been cleaner but the location is amazing.

Condo was wonderful and clean. We did find 2 cockroaches right before we left. The other condos were rented by several large groups of families with so many small children. It was VERY loud! They ran up and down the hallways like they owned the entire building. Location was great. close to beach and local amenities.

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!

The mattress and pillows in the main bedroom was not comfortable. we then tried the spare bedroom bed with the same result. the living room furniture was comfortable

I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have stayed in this condo before because we have a big family gathering in Gulf Shores almost yearly. I will say the owners have spruced the place up with new living room furniture and paint. The beds are absolutely terrible. The master bedroom bed is so worn out that if there are 2 people in it you're laying on top of each other as it caves in. The mattresses in the second bedroom are as hard as a rock. My one son actually said the couch was more comfortable and slept there. The condo is supposed to be furnished with kitchen supplies but bring your own pots and pans. That being said the atmosphere of the Sandpiper complex is awesome. You feel like you're in you private little retreat vs a hotel. It's nice but we've stayed at more than a handful of other condos and for your money you can get a nicer condo but not the atmosphere.

Reviewer Comments: It was wonderful staying so near the beach The living room view right out onto the sand and the waves was awesome Two bedrooms with two baths is perfect for two couples

We came for the NCAA beach volleyball championships - so needed a place close to the main beach and courts - we also needed two beds two bathrooms and a comfy place to hang out between games! This was the perfect location - quiet - right on the gorgeous beach - as well as a beach front pool - but the condo itself was absolutely darling and perfectly clean! Everything felt brand new - the decor was beachy and cute, two rooms with comfy king size beds and their own bathrooms - which were updated with fun tile and design! They had beach chairs - umbrellas - charging stations an extra blankets - when we got there the AC was on which was refreshing coming off a humid hot volleyball court :). We were able to cook our own meals - had every thing we needed to prepare meals which was awesome. We had constant communication from property and couldn’t have asked for anything more! We are hotel people but I’ve changed my mind after this stay. I felt like I was in my own beach house - it was so gorgeous inside. I will also say - from the outside of the condo - I wasn’t expecting it to be so pretty and remodeled on the inside! It all felt brand new!

We had a great time at the Sandpiper. The condo was great and updated. We had a problem with the air conditioning but they sent a repair person over quickly and it was fixed. Thanks for a great stay!

We had such a great time! Check in was easy. The condo was clean and well maintained. Our Keurig broke the first morning there and they had a brand new Keurig/coffee pot combo there within the hour. There were other families there with children, so my child was able to make new friends. Everyone was very friendly. I would definitely stay there again and would recommend the property to anyone wanting to vacation in the area.

Our accommodations were clean and right on the beach. Our microwave broke and they brought a new one within 3hrs. We were very happy with everything.

The Sandpiper is a small complex, you're able to meet friendly people throughout the week. Unit 16C has a magnificent view of the beach and ocean. We sit on the balcony in the morning and watch dolphins swim past and watch the moon rise in the evening. Have already booked for next year!

Only there a week. Very clean. Nice location. No problems!

The condo was clean and roomy, right on the beach. The beds were comfortable. There were several families in the complex and they were respectful of the property. We stayed during Spring Break and there wasn’t any real partying where we were, which was nice! We would stay here again!

Other visitors don’t follow rules, smoke on premises, very loud our last night. Very close walk to the beach, pool was nice. No long waits for elevator
