Beach access

The property opens to the beach, the private heated outdoor pool was a pool plus, especially in the evenings when the pool is shaded. The unit we stayed in had comfortable beds, fully stocked kitchen and the ice maker in by the freezer section was a plus. We totally enjoyed our stay.

Perfect spot

It was wonderful! Great space & very clean! Comfy beds & great kitchen/bedrooms! Host was available & responded quickly when asked questions. I would definitely stay here again! The beach was not too crowded. Beach service fills up quickly as they only have a limited number of chairs/umbrellas so I do recommend attempting to reserve ahead of time if that’s a must for you.

text instead of email

The stay was very enjoyable. I would suggest that you text the check out notice instead of emailing. We left at 5:00 am and housekeeping could have been in there early. I did not check my email the entire time I was there, therefor I did not see how to inform you of my departure until the next day. I like many do not check email while on vacation because it includes work emails and no one wants that while on vacation :)

The Beach 2022

Everything was great except for the size of the unit was smaller than we anticipated. The bedrooms and bathrooms were sufficient in size for 3 adults and two children but the common area (kitchen and living room) was was pretty tight, especially on a rainy day. A little less clutter and an additional chair or two would have been helpful.

The condo was perfect for our family! I could smell the cleaner when the door opened. Everything was clean and ready to go! We had everything we needed for a wonderful stay. The beds were very comfortable. The outdoor area seemed like a tropical resort. We loved the palm trees by the pool . The grilling area was a plus. All we had to do was walk a few steps and we were on the beach. This was a perfect vacation stay!!

Great place to stay!

We had a great stay at Sandpiper. Our WiFi password wasn’t working at first but a quick call got that resolved. The place was clean and very nicely decorated. The location is on the beach. No boardwalk so directly on the beach. We had plenty of towels and extra pillows, blankets etc in the main bedroom closet. It was spring break so the condo was full and lots of kids running around. We could hear the people above us daily but once you close the door, you couldn’t hear the people outside. So nice! I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again. Thank you!

This was our fourth time to the Gulf Shores area and this was the best place we’ve stayed. From the heated pool, to the hop out to the beach and the cozy accommodations. When we return we will look to stay here again.
