The condo was just beautiful! It was clean and welcoming. We enjoyed relaxing on the deck and the short walk to the beach. The bed was very comfortable, and our host even provided beach chairs. We stayed for 2 weeks and wish we could have stayed 2 more. Really one of the best VRBO rentals.

Loved the location and the Unit
We loved the location of this unit regarding proximity to the Gulf. The unit was very clean and so comfortable. We loved the coastal furnishings and everything we needed was available. Best location on Sanibel!!
This is our second time staying at Blind Pass in this particular unit and we think it is just perfect. We love everything about the unit itself and where it is situated. We needed this family vacation so badly and had the most wonderful trip- thank you so much to the host for sharing your home with us, it is absolutely beautiful.

Thank you so much for leaving such a great review! Happy to hear you had a great time, hope to see you in the future!
We loved everything about it. Wish there was some basic spices or condiments to avoid being so wasteful, but the beach accessories were awesome. So nice to have washer and dryer in the unit. Very clean space. We would be thrilled to stay again.

Hello Allie! I apologize about there not being any spices left in the unit, unfortunately due to sanitation laws we aren't allowed to leave anything like that behind on purpose. From time to time they are left behind though, along with coffee filters etc. Happy to see the unit was clean and you enjoyed our amenities. Hope to see you in the future!

Blind Pass Condo....fantastic getaway!
We enjoyed our vacation immensely! We swam with dolphins 15 feet from us. Encountered manatees everyday on the clam bayou. Your condo was exactly as advertised; absolutely beautiful! We hope to return sometime in the future.l
Our unit G102 was perfect, Nicely decorated, comfortable & clean. A short walk through the mangroves, Bald Eagles 🦅 Osprey and other wildlife thrive, you will find the most spectacular beach 🏖
Can’t wait to return. 🏝

WONDERFUL CONDO!
We had a fantastic vacation in this beautifully appointed unit. The condo was updated, clean and had absolutely everything we needed. The layout of the unit was perfect and the owners supplied everything we needed for our visits to the beach, cooking and the comforts of a home. We loved the complex amenities and the short walk to the beach was beautiful. We will definitely be back again and look forward to another great stay in this unit.

Clearn, Cute, Convenient!
This unit was amazing! A lot of room for our family and family friends! We loved the Island and found many of our evenings were spent on the beautiful private beach just a short walk away. The homeowners have really stocked the unit with everything you need, even down to the sand shovels! Great experience!

Excellent Sanibel condo!
We couldn't have been happier with our Blind Pass condo. The decor was lovely and the location (close to the beach access) was perfect. Our friends staying in a beautiful home on Captiva were extremely impressed with the decor and furnishings! We were also very happy with the quality of the bed linens and towels and the fact that there was plenty of everything we needed. We are a family of 4, with a teenage boy and girl, and the condo accommodated us very nicely. We would definitely rent this condo again.

G102 is the best!
The location on the Gulf is very private, and the condo is fantastic. The layout is very spacious, and it's stocked with everything you might possibly need. It's decorated with a tasteful beach theme that includes beautiful photos of local wildlife and local art. There's also an abundance of wildlife on the beach. I hope to return to G102.

The condo is located very close to the beach access path and a beach cart, chairs, towels, umbrella and holder, and various scoops are provided. These are essential for enjoying the beach. The condo is well-stocked with kitchen items and nicely decorated. We will stay there again.

Blind Pass condo was excellent
Our stay at your condo was awesome, the condo was very clean and the décor in good taste. We enjoyed the walk to the beach and how exclusive it was. We found the people at the condo complex very friendly and provided us with very good information on things to do (this was our first visit). The shelling in this area was very good, we found a large collection of sea shells to take back home with us. We found the restaurant's in the area very good. We would recommend others to stay at bind pass. We are planning on a future vacation at this location.
Condo was very comfortable and decorated very nicely. Bedrooms were big and mattresses were comfortable. Bathrooms were small. Unit was closest to a lovely beach- a short 5 minute walk. Several Beach chairs and umbrellas and large wheeled wagon were provided. We enjoyed the pool and the tennis courts (2) and the biking trails. I would definitely rent this unit again one day.

You can't go wrong at this wonderful condo near Bowman's Beach.
Our condo was exactly was advertised. It was spacious, very clean, and had everything anyone would need for a week at the beach. Blind Pass Condominiums was very well maintained and there was adequate parking, easy access to the beach, a heated pool and kayaks and canoes that can be checked out at the office.
I would definitely recommend Blind Pass Condominiums and our ground floor unit. You won't be disappointed.

Sweet, sweet Sanibel!
This was a lovely, well appointed condo and we enjoyed every second of our stay. The amenities are well thought out and the floor plan of the unit was fabulous. I wish my closet at home was so spacious! It’s a bit of a walk to the ocean but we came to love the scenery on the way including alligators, an otter and many native birds. We managed to easily achieve our 10,000 steps daily! Bowman’s Beach is amazing and we returned home with pounds of fabulous shells. Yes, we look forward to our next visit here.

Very nice end unit condo. Nice landscaping. Private.
I loved the property. Had trouble several times with the tv/century link. One of the blankets in the closet was covered with sand and created a mess when we took it out to use it. Otherwise, great vacation spot!

Perfect Getaway Spot
This condo was perfect for our December vacation on Sanibel Island! The location was close to the beach which was not crowded at all and we really enjoyed being able to go for long walks, pick up shells and take pictures. The condo itself was immaculate, nicely furnished and quiet. It had everything we needed to spend time on the beach...sand chairs, cooler, lots of towels. We sat on the little patio playing games every afternoon and even though it is near the beach path it was hidden behind the shrubs and very private. The owners were easy to work with and the people at Blind Pass Condos were very attentive. If you are looking for a quiet spot then this condo is for you!

A gorgeous Condo unit.
We had an excellent stay at our most recent visit to Sanibel Island and the Blind Pass resort. This particular unit was perfectly appointed for our needs. 2 Bedroom, 2 Bath, Great Master Bedroom and well located with close proximity to both tennis courts and the beach. We were traveling with 2 teenage boys and my wife and I. We did also have our daughter with us for the first weekend so she was able to sleep on the pull out in the living roomo. This unit has moved into my #1 spot for my next visit to Blind Pass.
