About this property

Rare ground floor condo, just steps to the pool or to the famous Sanibel Beach.

Everything you need in this updated, comfortable 2 bedroom, 2 bath condo on beautiful Sanibel Island, Breakers West Unit A-5. Rare ground floor location; private walk-out patio leaves you just steps to the pool or to the world famous Sanibel beach on the Gulf of Mexico.

Sanibel Island features tightly controlled, low-key development with multiple nature preserves, no high rises, dark at night. Our ground level condo, Breakers West Unit A5, is located just a short walk of 140 yards (128m) from our doorstep to the Sanibel’s beautiful Gulf of Mexico beach, with no intervening stairs and no road to cross. Once on the beach, you can walk or run for miles in either direction.

Steps to the beach with world-class shelling, amazing sunsets; drive, bike or walk only 2 miles to Ding Darling National Wildlife Refuge; golf, tennis, fishing, kayaking and shopping nearby. Paved paths encircle the island for biking, running, walking. Low-key, relaxed island atmosphere.

Condo has view of tropical garden and pool from its ground floor, private walk-out patio. Relax in privacy on your patio and then stroll to the beach or pool. The Gulf beach is only 140 yards away, pool is only 40 feet away, walk out of the patio to both.

Watch spectacular sunsets over the Gulf of Mexico. The condo's West Gulf Drive location allows year-round sunset views that are not available at some east-end locations on Sanibel due to the shape of the island.

Full size, fully equipped kitchen, with full size refrigerator, range/oven, microwave, dishwasher and kitchenware.

Master bedroom has a king size bed, 2nd bedroom has a queen size bed, and the living room has a queen size, fold-out sofa.

Private walk-out, screened-in, covered patio includes table and chairs to allow you to relax and enjoy the tropical garden view.

Laundry room with clothes washer and dryer within unit.

Starter amounts of bath soap, shampoo, conditioner, toilet paper, laundry soap, dish detergent, coffee, coffee filters, sugar, salt and pepper are provided - longer stays might necessitate guests to purchase additional quantity (multiple stores are nearby). Our coffee is a drip type, Mr. Coffee style.

Guests have access to the Gulf of Mexico beach, and we provide two back-pack style beach chairs, a beach umbrella, and beach towels. Guests also have access to the condo Association’s heated and cooled pool, pool chairs, barbecue grills, and rooftop deck. Within our condo unit we also provide wi-fi and television service, clothes washer and dryer, and a fully equipped kitchen. One designated, free parking space. Unfortunately, no trailer, RV or boat parking on site.

On-island management available during business hours, and 24/7 by phone, to assist with your check-in, check-out and questions or concerns during your stay. Host is also available by phone, text, or email and is very responsive to any questions you may have about things to do, places to eat, or any other concerns.

No smoking allowed indoors, on our patio, or anywhere except in the property's designated smoking area. We cannot accommodate pets per the rules of of condo Association.

Our family has recently acquired this property, having a VRBO history of Five Star accommodations I am confidant you will be extremely satisfied with your visit.

Our stay was brilliant and Dennis was a super host. Check in/out was a breeze.
The condo was spotless and well stocked with essentials (trash bags, paper linens, towels, and even beach and pool toys for the kids!). We’ve already booked for next year.

We loved this condo. Great location, incredibly clean and had all sorts of pool toys and chairs. Thanks for the starter items that were plenty for our 5 day stay. Incredibly clean. My only suggestion is for a sponge or dish cloth for the counter! Everything was spotless. A few steps to the pool which we enjoyed everyday. Maybe a 3 minute walk to the beach which we also enjoyed every day. Nice quiet location. We would definitely come back here again. Perfect! Amazing sunsets. Thank you for sharing your condo.

Wonderful five days! Our location was perfect, steps to the pool and a very short walk to a beautiful beach. Our accommodations were just right. Two couples, two bedrooms, two baths, a very comfortable living space and well equipped kitchen (even though we didn't cook much - too many wonderful restaurants close by). We would absolutely book again. Thank you for a great stay.

Excellent location and spotless clean! The condo is well equipped for a relaxed and special stay. Being on the ground floor was a plus and the extra outdoor space with the screened in porch made it an ideal place for eating and relaxing. Dennis the owner, provided some of the best customer service we have ever experienced! He is so easy to communicate with and thoroughly answered all of our questions. 5 star stay and experience!

We had an amazing stay! Our hosts were excellent communicators- making sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay and useful tips for our time on the island. The condo was beautiful, clean, and very well-appointed. The private beach had more shells than I have ever seen! We had better shelling in our own backyard than we did at Bowman or Lighthouse Beaches. Our family of 5 adults had a memorable vacation - spoiled by the comfort and attention to detail of our condo!

Great place and locatiin

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The place was super clean and just steps from the beach. Bed was very comfortable. It is an awesome place to have a bike as there are biking trails all over the island. Bring bug spray! The no see ums are bad and get worse whenever the sun goes down.

Fantastic condo!

Spent the week and it could not have been any better. Dennis and Lori have a beautifully appointed condo, with everything we needed for a perfect week. Beach was a 1 minute walk, and nearly deserted as most neighboring buildings are still under renovation. Shell hunting was amazing, water was calm and warm, condo was extremely comfortable and quiet. Doc Ford’s was a great recommendation for meals… 4 minutes away, great food and drinks with a wonderful atmosphere and service (ask for Scott). Rachel at Shining Objects Jewelry was also wonderful. We’ve done over 20 VRBO vacations …. This was the best ever..

Found tons of Shells

Dennis’ place was even better than expected! We felt like we had access to the best beach on Sanibel. We found tons of beautiful shells. Enjoyed beautiful sunsets and just had an overall wonderful time. We tried many of the other public beaches and always came back to the one at the condo. It was by far the best. It was very quiet and close (a very pleasant 2 minute walk) and we had it mostly to ourselves. The shelling was best there too (during our trip at least.) The living room looks out on a very tropical garden where the pool is. There is a very nice screened in porch with a dining table where we sorted our shells or enjoyed just hanging out. The place was very clean. We felt like we were the first guest who had ever stayed there! Everything was very new. The beds were comfortable and the place had anything we ever needed. Overall just a great place with a great location! We loved it!

The Perfect Place

The condo was absolutely amazing and comfortable. It was newly renovated, very clean and has everything you need to get started for your beach vacation. There were beach necessities like an umbrella, cooler, chairs, floats and even some shelling tools on site which was an added bonus. Hands down a true gem of a find and anyone who books this condo would not be disappointed! The hosts were also amazing, very informative and responsive.

Relaxing Break

We traveled with my 90 year old handicapped mother so access to house, shower and beach were primary search. This provided everything for her easy access - we rented beach wheelchair that was delivered and the walk and beach access was perfect for handicap access as well as the owner beach items available for use were ideal. We so enjoyed the stay, privacy and yet easy access to grocery store. The beach is absolutely a shell finder's dream - Sanibel is the place to visit. Thank you to the owners for their prompt responses and easy process of access, your home is absolutely beautiful.

Weekend getaway with family

Sanibel is still getting back on its feet but this property is one of the first to be back. We basically had the beach to ourselves since the next 10 apartment buildings on either side were still under construction. No work on the weekend so nice and quiet and even when Monday came there was minimal noise (we are up early with kids anyway). There were enough good restaurants that we had our pick. We enjoyed doc fords (good kids menu) and the magic bus ice cream shop. Walking around by the lighthouse was nice. But mostly we hung on the beach and in the pool which was warm and mostly empty. No shallow area except the steps (3.5ft shallowest). Kids loved finding shells and picking their favs to bring home. Ground floor made it very easy to run in and out. Would stay again!
