Everything was great! Very surprised, but the beds were very comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked. We love the fact that it had a table on the deck where everyone could hang out. The living room was big enough to put two queen size blowup mattresses if you needed to plus the pullout couch. We had a great vacation. We would definitely recommend this property. To anyone with big families.

Perfect
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 location to the beach is amazing. We love the dec, however the swing could go away. It is just in the way. A recliner was added which was wonderful. We have had the opportunity to see some of the other rentals that have been updated and the very old carpeting is gone. All in all it is a good rental that needs some updating.

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 The kitchen is very outdated with old appliances, the furniture is old and outdated, the master bed headboard is still broken from last year.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.

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 The building is starting to get a bit outdated, elevator is problematic, cleaning crew is passable at best -- there's always something left undone or not quite clean (dishes were horrible). 8A, one of the more expensive rooms, is WAY too outdated for the price being charged.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

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.

Overall, the property is terrific. The appliances in the kitchen need to be updated. A dehumidifier is needed in the condo. Would recommend a dustpan for the amount of sand that accumulates over the week. The location of the property is ideal for beachgoers. The beach is very pretty. Will most likely return to Sandpiper!

The staff at Bender bend over backwards to help with anything you need. The cleaning crew for the units could do more, I think they get rushed and miss things. Please, please get a new couch.

The upgrades that were made were nice. The furniture is pretty outdated though. The only downside is the price. The price of the unit keeps going up year after year. It has now reached a price point to where it’s only a few hundred less than an all inclusive vacation in Aruba. They may end up pricing us out of returning if it continues to rise and surpass $4k a week.

I have been a regular renter of unit 8A, off and on for many years at the Sandpiper on W Beach Blvd. While I am extremely happy with the property, the management, the location, etc., the unit hasn't had an update...ever. It is very tired looking and has some issues that have caused me to decide to start using a different unit going forward. It has been a long run but I do not see the logic in continuing to pay for this particular unit when others are freshly updated and dont have the issues. So long, 8A...hello 16B!

We've stayed at the Sandpiper many times and always have a great time. The location is great and the Bender Realty staff are top notch -- however, 8A is in desperate need of updates by the owner of the condo. Other condos in the same complex have been updated over the years, but it seems like the owners of 8A just don't care. The carpet is torn in several places, there is an old door mat covering tack strips in the hallways, there is visible mold/mildew in the A/C vents and the unit itself is just dated and rundown. We had 3 other parties with us who all stayed in different units and their units were far superior. My parents stayed in a room that was priced exactly the same as ours, and there's was immaculate. I'm not sure how Bender/Sandpiper can keep charging a premium prices for 8A in the shape that it is in.

We have been trying to get this unit for years and finally got it. The view is phenomenal. The inside of the unit is comfortable. The carpet has needed to be replaced from what I could tell for years now. It’s worn, thin, and looks dirty. The flatscreen in the living room is small and outdated. Everything else was great. The only issue we had with our stay is the neighboring Bender property “Caribbean”. They are evidently a pet friendly location and all day, all night, we had dogs barking, howling, whining, whimpering on their balconies. Loud enough to where it would wake us up at night and in the mornings. We have rented this unit again for next year and hope we don’t have to deal with the noisy animals next door.
