RELAXING!!!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We really enjoyed our time at this spot. Small yet big enough for the 2 of us. Being so close to the beach was great, if you needed anything from your place it wasn’t a bother to go back.

We liked the property and the location. We were not expecting to have a mini fridge. The mini fridge limited what we could keep in the room. The beach was quiet. Still lots of devastation from the hurricane. We visited shops and some had been open just a couple of months. We did enjoy our trip. If you visit this area try to support these shops and businesses.

Bare Minimum Cabana Beach Club – Disappointing Stay, Disorganized Check-In, & Subpar Accommodations

Our stay at Cabana Beach Club was a disappointment from the start. After traveling all day, we arrived to find no key packet at the designated pickup spot. The after-hours line was useless—the agent couldn’t find my reservation and admitted she was just an answering service. Nearly an hour later, someone finally called and vaguely directed us to a different property next door, which had never been mentioned.The condo was tiny and poorly equipped. The “kitchen” was just a kitchenette with no stove—an issue since I’d pre-ordered 200 in groceries expecting to cook. Essentials were missing: no kitchen knife, few mismatched dishes, no extra trash bags. The bed was uncomfortable, the AC only cooled the bedroom, and a thin interior door let in every conversation and bathroom noise from the unit next door. Sleep was nearly impossible.Though the pool and beach were close, the beach was rough and full of shells—not ideal for kids. We weren’t even given the laundry room code and had to borrow one from other guests.Only one trash bag was provided for a multi-day stay, which pretty much sums it up—bare minimum service. For the price, this rental fell WAY short. Sanibel Arms West offered far better value, comfort, and service—so that’s where we’ll return. RVA Rentals, Cabana Beach Club, and VRBO need to do better. Guests deserve more than this.

Lovely place

I loved being at the Cabana Beach club....it was just me and it was absolutely perfect. A very short walk to the beach and only a .5 mile walk to Harry's corner store for necessities. The unit was very nice and very clean. The ceiling fans could use a dusting but truly, it was a lovely place to stay.

Good place for 2

This place was exactly how it was described. I don’t know how 4 people would stay there. It is small, but was perfect for my husband and I. We enjoy eating out so a big kitchen wasn’t necessary for us. Great location close to the beach. Very clean and location on Longboat was great! It was a quiet spot for us to relax. Definitely recommend!!

Perfect beachfront getaway!

We loved this unit & all it had to offer. Only downside was lack of a king size bed being that we are taller people. Otherwise, the location & amenities were perfect! Everything was included even beachfront loungers, beach umbrellas, & beach towels. I would definitely stay here again & rent a larger unit with my family.

Good location almost on the beach

This one bedroom efficiency is in a good location the property is on the beach but the unit is near the pool and parking area. It is an easy walk to the beach we where back and forth many times. It has a nice screened in porch with table and chairs. The unit has bed covering, and window treatments that need to be replaced as they are a bit worn out. There is a small refrigerator and a microwave with community grills on the property. Over all a clean comfortable unit that met our needs. The easy access to the beach is certainly the key for this unit.

Great 4th!

Check in was so easy! Just pick up keys and go. The condo as a little smaller than I expected, but it worked wonderfully. There were three of us for a long weekend. The condo was very clean. We loved the closeness to the pool and beach. The beach area was clean and quiet. We actually had a manatee swim right up to us! We were able to go to local restaurants and shops. The only suggestion I would make is to have a serving bowl and serving tray. When we bbqed it would have been nice to carry things to the grill in one trip. Thank you for having us! We loved the stay! I hope to stay again.

Location is great but this unit is terrible

This unit is very poorly maintained. Could not close the bathroom door and the shower door was broken but we could take showers. The unit is very poorly equipped. Hardly any silverware. The air conditioner is noisy and keeps going on and off . Bottom of vanity was broken, blinds did not work in living room. Would not stay here again unless they did some maintenance.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. 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: WE enjoyed our stay at Cabana Beach Club"We enjoyed our stay at Cabana Beach Club. We prefer smaller complexes and this was the perfect size. The condo was clean and in good condition. The unit is located next to parking lot and swimming pool. We had a family staying above us and we never heard them at all. The complex was clean and maintained nicely. Our only issue is the split unit AC is located in the bedroom, right next to the bed. The unit is noisy which makes sleeping difficult and you can't shut the bedroom door if someone is using the sofa bed because they would not get any AC.The beach is beautiful and a 1 minute walk from condo. There are some good restaurants and a little market near by and we thought the location was ideal. Overall we thought the property was great.

Clean by pool good for two people

Well, I’ll start with the good. The place was spotless and literally 8 steps from the pool which was nice. You can’t see the beach due to a large structure in front of the unit. The grills and grill area was nice. The not so good, at least for me. Hardly any WiFi or Verizon signal. Basic cable ( nice TV’s though. The bed was comfy, but the large hotel type air conditioning unit is literally by your head when you sleep...... it’s noisy The refrigerator is small ( under counter) no problem for me except that you cannot make any ice. If you are going to eat meals out, this place works, otherwise forget it. No stovetop or oven. The canal units are across the street but you can sit at the canal and fish. It’s dark at night, so leave the lanai light on if you are going out otherwise you will have a hard time finding the correct key.

Good renovation, cheap doors and BUGS

As said, the renovation was done well. Cute little place; however, there was only a thin door separating our condo from the condo next door and we could hear everything, which means they could hear everything. It made it feel less private and honestly, a little cheap. Also, there were these little bugs everywhere. Not sure exactly what they were - mites, gnats - but they were all over the sink and counter tops, they got into the food and the trash and just everything. Really unclean feeling and have never had this issue anywhere else we’ve ever stayed in Florida. The last negative was the air conditioning unit. It was so old or so broken because it made so much noise as it turned on and off. I wouldn’t normally complain about that but it was right next to the bed, which made it really difficult to sleep. Other positives, the lanai was nice and ideal location for the beach - one minute walk from the condo.
