About this property

Sanibel's best: Premier gulf front condo. Gather seashells; enjoy sunsets.

The owners of Pointe Santo de Sanibel C36 welcome you to their little piece of paradise. Our bookings run from Saturday to Saturday.

A special note following Hurricane Ian:
Our condo has re-opened for guests after more than a 2-year hiatus due to Hurricane Ian. A lot of damage occurred throughout the island, and much rebuilding has occurred. At Pointe Santo, the clubhouse was blown/washed away and a pavilion is being built in its place. The pavilion should be finished in late August or September, 2025.

The clubhouse is being built in a new location, next to the B Building. Please understand that some construction noise will occur until it's complete, hopefully early in 2026. And until then, the famous Pointe Santo weekday children's program is suspended.

But the swimming pool, hot tub, new, faster-heating grills, tennis and pickleball courts are open and beautiful! And of course, there's the great beach!

Some of the photos on this listing show the clubhouse. In addition, both bathrooms have been updated; there's a new, modern Dining Room chandelier, new glass shower enclosure and other updates. When the pavilion is completed, new photos will appear.

Now back to our regular description:
Whether it's for a romantic getaway or a fun-filled family vacation, C36 at Pointe Santo is the perfect destination. Your journey begins with an elevator ride to the third floor and the delight you will feel upon entering this deluxe two-bedroom/two-bath condo. Straight ahead of you and beyond the lanai, you will enjoy gorgeous views of the Gulf of Mexico and Pointe Santo’s tropical lake and gardens.

In addition to the fabulous ocean view, the bright and clean rooms in this condo, the newly-updated furnishings, the tropical décor and the many Pointe Santo amenities will put you in a vacation frame of mind.

If you’re in the mood for romance, enjoy a quiet moment in the spacious Living Room, savor a drink on the lanai or walk the few steps to the hot tub or beach and watch a magnificent sunset. Then fall asleep in the Primary Bedroom’s king-size bed with the serene sounds of the ocean coming through your private sliding glass doors. The Primary suite Bathroom has double sinks, double mirrors, and a huge shower.

If your vacation brings your family, parents and kids alike will love Pointe Santo’s fabulously-creative and supervised, all-week-long children’s programs at the clubhouse adjacent to the heated pool. (Note: the children's program is on hold until the Clubhouse is reconstructed.)

And no child, teen or adult can leave Sanibel without swimming in the ocean and collecting some shells at the beach to keep as a souvenir of your trip. Other family-fun activities include beach volleyball, tennis, shuffleboard and bike rides to see the island’s wildlife or to enjoy an ice cream, shopping or a movie.

The Guest Suite in C36 features 1 double bed and 1 twin bed adjacent to a private bath with a combination shower/tub. There’s also a queen sleep sofa in the Living Room to ensure comfort for up to 6 guests.

The Kitchen, with its beautiful quartz countertops, is fully-equipped, but Pointe Santo’s grills, which surround the landscaped lake, offer an alternative to using the kitchen cooking appliances: al fresco dining on the Lanai. In addition, the complimentary WiFi, flat-screen HDTV in the living area, as well as DVDs and Blu Ray, TVs in the bedrooms, books, games and DVDs, pool and sand toys, tennis and paddle board and other amenities will entertain children and make C36 the complete vacation spot for you to return every year.

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this unit.

Since we had previously stayed at Pointe Santo twice before we already had high expectations that our stay in this unit exceeded. The large master bath combined with the great view put this unit over the top.

We loved staying here. We had everything we needed and more. The location was great and we loved it. Our only complaint was that people staying below us smoked like chain smokers. Every time we went to the lanai the people below us were smoking. We complained a couple of times but nothing ever changed.

Amazing view, comfortable coastal get-away, well-stocked with all the amenities

What a view! We found this very comfortable and spacious coastal condo made for one of the most relaxing vacations we've had in while. From our morning coffee on the porch to our cocktails at sunset, we enjoyed the view of the lagoon and the ocean behind it. Great to be so close to the pool, hot tub, and beach!!! The unit is incredibly well stocked, we had everything we could have wanted to cook and enjoy meals together. We thought this was a good space for four and having two bathrooms was fantastic. We will certainly be back another year!

Pointe Santo C36: Absolutely Amazing!!!

We wanted to take a special family trip this Summer and C-36 at Pointe Santo was absolutely spectacular-best condo we've ever stayed in! The amenities in our condo were awesome. I've never seen a home stocked like this condo. It was very clean and very well maintained. From booking, the owner was in constant touch with us offering us guidance, information and responding to any questions we may have. The check in process with Sanibel Holiday was seamless. There was everything we needed and more. I've never seen so many beach toys- the kids had so much fun:-) We had a spectacular view of the Gulf and a wonderful view of the pond and rest of the property. The island of Sanibel is beautiful. There are wonderful restaurants. We particularly enjoyed Cheeburger Cheeburger, Jerry's Cafe and Grandma Dot's. There are miles and miles of biking trails and the beaches are supreme. Our kids are 18, 15 and 11. The all agreed that this was the best vacations we've ever been on. Seriously, I could go on and on about how amazing our experience was. We highly recommend C-36 at Pointe Santo and we hope to come back often to Sanibel with family and friends. Evett and Bob Naperville, IL

Summer Vaca-Aug 3-Aug 9

Our stay in Sanibel was terrific! We really fell in love with the quaint little island, with all it's charm and local feel. Bike riding around the island, local restaurants and grocery stores were amazing. The condo was the highlight though. So well organized from the start by owner Carol, and perfectly appointed and clean when we arrived. No detail was missed, even beach toys and Tommy Bahama chairs for those flying in. Great view of the grounds and beach in the background. We sat on the back patio and ate or had a drink every night. We'll definitely be back and will recommend to family and friends!

Love, love, love C36! The condo had everything we needed! Great selection of kitchen equipment/ utensils, comfy beds/ linens, quality beach towels. Very clean! Carol and Bill provide high quality beach chairs and shelling scoops. There were also plenty of beach toys/ pool noodles that my daughter also enjoyed. Location of the condo was perfect for us. Private beach was never too crowded, we were always able to find a great spot with plenty of space no matter what time of day were went out. Short drive and/ or easy bike ride to restaurants and grocery store. Carol made sure we had everything we needed before we even got there. She even gave directions to several grocery stores, both on and off the island. We will be staying here again next time we come back to Sanibel

About the host

Hosted by Carol Amick

Host profile image
We were looking for a place to spend part of our winters away from the cold and snow of Boston and close to our son in Alabama. After touring much of Florida, we fell in love with Sanibel and especially Pointe Santo de Sanibel. We purchased the condo on May 25, 2017, and are looking forward to sharing this beautiful place with others who love everything Sanibel.

If you have any questions about C36, please email us!
Sincerely,
Carol and Bill

Why they chose this property

We bought at Pointe Santo on Sanibel Island for a number of reasons. We have good friends from Boston who have spent their winters there for over 15 years, and urged us to see for ourselves why they enjoy Sanibel so much. We really like the fact that Pointe Santo has so many amenities, especially a kids program every weekday! We love walking the beach, a tradition we have followed ever since our honeymoon, whenever we stay by a beach. The Sanibel shelling is a real bonus!

What makes this property unique

We love this condo because of the beautiful Gulf views you see right as you enter the door, and all around the inside. You can be making dinner in the kitchen, and see the ocean outside. You can be reading in the Living Area, or eating in the Dining Area, and the water is always there. There is something so tranquil about the water. Hearing it lapping on the shore at night, and watching the gorgeous sunsets disappearing into the water each night is what we live for!
