Great place on the beach

We really enjoyed our stay here! The master bed was very bouncy and squeaky so we ended up having to sleep on the pull out sofa. We had an issue with our front door handle upon check in but they were very quick to fix it for us! The beach views were wonderful and the condo had everything we needed.

Beautiful decor and fabulous location!

Right on the beach! From the balcony/porch, you feel you're on the beach without the sand. Beautifully decorated. Very convenient to everything on the island. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Would definitely come back!

Wow! What an amazing place! First, the view in the pictures does not do this place justice. It is just divine! There is nothing like looking out one of your TWO balconies and seeing the ocean. We did have a SLIGHT issue getting into the condo, but the staff was quick to fix the issue, and I was soon starting my vacation. Speaking of the staff, when I went to visit them in the office, they were kind and quick to answer any questions. The location is a little far from anything, but with that said, you can get to the other side of the island in about 10 minutes. So, it is really not that bad. The beach outside the condo is perfect, large and not too busy! The decorations of the condo were not my PERSONAL style, but they really fit Sanibel. The beds are soft, the rooms are very well furnished. The kitchen has everything you need to have dinner in the condo. The bathrooms are A! The showers are an absolute highlight. Overall, I will 100% be staying here again.

Best beach vacation!

Booked this ocean facing condo on vrbo.com. was a bit skeptical until I arrived at this condo. Beautiful views from the patio. Enjoyed drinking (all kinds of drinks;) while watching the waves hitting the beach and making soothing sounds. The internal decorations were great...lots of shells in the decor. The bedrooms were nicely decorated...loved the concept. Wife took lots of pictures! The 2nd patio was very large with nicely set daybed. Kitchen was loaded with utensils... Enjoyed "homemade dinner" every night for the stay. Very easy access to beach...saw the sunrise every day. The beach itself was fantastic... Lots of shells. The only thing I would recommend is to upgrade the TV video/audio to allow Bluetooth connectivity for audio and to allow Video on demand features.

Perfect Place

We loved our time here! The unit was spacious for the 4 of us, beautifully decorated, and you couldn’t ask for a better view! The “pirate” bed was a huge hit with my 6 yo son.(As another guest’s review had mentioned, the master bedroom gets uncomfortably hot — there’s only one vent in there, but several in the adjoining bathroom, which is weird. We just did our best to move the air around.)I loved the screened porch in the mornings. Perfect way to start a day at the coast.The beach was great, the shells were fun, it wasn’t super crowded, and our condo was the icing on the cake. And it was SO NICE to have a garage!!! In the garage, there were beach chairs and two umbrellas, which was also such a bonus when you’re flying in and can’t bring your own.We ate at Mudbugs (the crawfish etouffee was delicious, but bring bug spray for your feet/legs, because something bitey lives on the patio), Tutti Pazzi, RC Otters, Blue Giraffe, Bimini Bait Shack, and drove to Cape Coral one evening for sushi at Yellowfin (definitely recommend). Enjoyed all of it!

Beautiful ocean view

We stayed with family over spring break. The view was great! Right on the ocean. A garage was available under the unit, full of sand toys and beach chairs plus some pool noodles. Even though it was spring break, we were always able to find a few chairs at the pool or space on the beach. The unit could use a more complete set of silverware (forks in particular) and knives for cutting. There were no small glasses to drink from. The amount of decor (and white couches/chairs) made it a little less kid friendly. On check out you're told it will be a $5 fee for each bag of trash left in the unit - but then the dumpsters were overflowing and people were throwing garbage in the recycling. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would book again.

Lovely!

Great customer service! The shower in the MBR was broken and they gave us a 20% refund. Location was nice. Condo was lovely. There were 2 minor things that were dirty but overall the place was clean. Would definitely come back!

Great location!

Great location; right on the beach! Great screened in porches and comfortable beds. The rooms were a little hot when sleeping, even with the fans on. Many of the electrical outlets wouldn’t work but we had enough to charge our devices for 5 women! Pat at the front desk was awesome. We did get get in a little trouble for one of us sleeping on the porch lounge because it was so hot in the inner room. Probably not a great place if you want to be up chatting past 10pm either as they had very strict rules about noise. We were in our condo with all doors and windows closed chatting and were told to be quiet.
