About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire condo to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Family friendly condo on the Gulf

***Elevator will be down November 24-26.  Guests are welcome, but will need to use the stairs***     

 ***Floor and deck repair taking place Dec 1 - 12.  Guests are welcome, but walking access will be limited***

Sandpiper is a low density three story complex. Its unique V shape building and shared common area walkway in front of each condo lends to a friendly, get to know your neighbor atmosphere. Family reunions, large groups of people traveling together and individual families choose this property often. The tropical courtyard, seasonally-heated swimming pool (mid-March through October, as needed) and grilling areas give Sandpiper an ambiance all its own. It is a highly requested property and has the most repeat guests.

This beautifully-appointed condo is situated towards the street side of the property. While the property sits directly on the beach, and you can walk straight onto the sand from the parking lot, there is no view of the Gulf from this condo's front door until you turn the corner, from which you'll have a slight view. A simple walk down the communal balcony will take you to terrific views of the landscaped pool area and the fabulous Gulf waters!

Great Place at a Great Price

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: The unit was clean and in great shape. We’re a guy’s golf trip (50’s and 60’s) so we don’t have a lot of kitchen/appliance needs; however, we did have everything we need. The satellite TV worked and had a great sports package. The restrooms/showers were clean and in great working order. We will be back.

My family absolutely enjoyed this rental. The room was so cute and had everything we needed. The beach was easily accessible, especially for my little boy. There was no headache of waiting for an elevator! Will book again!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had an absolutely wonderful time! We absolutely love sandpiper and can’t wait to return. The only thing that might make 10A a little bit better is having blinds in the front windows instead of curtains this would allow sunlight into the living room without everybody always being able to look in on you.

Perfect Condo for a Guy's Trip

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: Three beds for three bodies. The kitchen was properly apportioned, and the rooms were clean and clutter-free. We had easy access to the pool and the beach. We were allowed to enjoy ourselves around the pool without being hassled by overbearing security, and we enjoyed the folks who were staying around us.

Great for a softball team!

We booked 8 condos for the USSSA National Championship. The property was small enough to allow the families to be together and for our kids to be safe. Parking was so easy and no long waits for elevators. We enjoyed our stay!

Pictures aren’t always what they seem.

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was 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: Run Away!!!! Beds are bad, Hugh end table in master with barely space to get in bathroom. Black mold in shower. All tv’s had no connection to internet had to mess with tv’s for 2hrs for my kids. Very old furniture. Me lease thing was bender they were so rude and disrespectful paid 700.00 to try and see this area for us to move to and I spend the day on the phone with these people signing documents one one of our days coming out cause their computer were working had to screen shot that I signed this document cause they keep calling saying I did complete it. Then lady treated me like a child and told me how to do it and I said I know how to e sign I have a screen show I’ll send you that says it’s complete. Then you have to go pick up some dumb papers from another location and a parking pass. These things could be left in hotel. All I can say if you are looking to enjoy your time in gulf shore don’t stay here. And it’s not worth the more.

Great Condo and Vacation Spot

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. 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: Condo l just like pictures. Had everything we needed and enjoyed our week in Gulf Shores. We used the condo grills- get there early as grills are used a lot- could probably use a few more in the complex for use. Condo was clean enough upon arrival, but there was a shirt on balcony from previous occupant and a few scraps of trash. Overall, would recommend and use again!

UNHEATED POOL!!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. 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: My family has stayed at the Sandpiper over 20 times. This year was very disappointing as the pool was not heated. The pool used to be filled with children having a good time and the 2 weeks we were there the pool was empty. I would have gone to another place if I would have known that the advertised amenities were not available. My son and grandchildren were planning to go swimming on their spring break. My friends know that this is my spring break destination but unsure about future stays.
