I would LOVE to give this all 5 stars, but there is room for improvement. Overall everything was great, but there are a few things that would recommend to make the place excellent.Shower heads: The water pressure is not good. Having stationary shower heads make it difficult to get the sand and soap out of hard to reach areas and make it difficult to rinse the tub after a shower. I would love to see a detachable shower head to remedy the reach issue, especially when a pressure issue cannot be changed. Hand soaps: liquid or foam hand soaps in bathrooms are much easier to use than soap bars. I don’t mind that there aren’t mini amenities like shampoo/conditioner, body wash, etc. like in most hotels because we brought our own. Soap bars for kids can be cumbersome and make a mess. We ended up buying liquid hand soaps at a grocery store after arriving. Kitchen/cleaning essentials: no oven mitts were to be found in the kitchen, nor a dust pan for the broom. I wasn’t about to supply those, so we made due with hand towels and cardstock pamphlets or a vacuum. The vacuum is really nice to have for carpet, but we wanted to sweep up sand quickly, and had to rig a dustpan with paper or pull out a large vac. Again- overall FANTASTIC experience, and we will be rebooking for next year! These were just a few suggestions to make a great stay and excellent stay.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great time as usual, no cons other than the condo and furniture, beds, night stands need updated. Oh, we usually thought that dish soap, toilet papers and a few other essentials were supplied. Is this no longer the case? This unit had absolutely nothing for us. David

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was clean. 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: I have been staying at Sandpiper off and on since 1990. This year was the most frustrating of all other years combined. First, for the 2nd straight year I was told the condo wasn't cleaned. However, both years, I was sitting outside the condo on the deck waiting for the code to enter the condo and no one ever came. This year I sat from 2pm until 4:30pm. I contacted Bender twice and was told the cleaning was not complete. However, I then received a text saying it was completed. I was sitting on the deck outside the condo the entire time. No one ever came to the condo. Therefore, the condo was actually ready the entire time I sat on the deck in the heat. Not sure if the cleaning company is attempting to stretch their hours for pay purposes or Bender has an issue with bad communication? Then, as I was leaving on Saturday the elevator was broke down which required me to carry all luggage down the steps. Normally not an issue, however, I have an arthritic hip and back. Also, recovering from heart surgery a month ago. Not Bender's issue I get it. However, they are charging elite level prices so the treatment of customers and amenities should be elevated as well. I have recommended this property to numerous individuals over the years. I love the layout and location. The property, location and stay did not disappoint but the first and last impression left me frustrated and disappointed.
