Mandy, so happy you enjoyed your stay! It would be our please to host you anytime.
The condo was so clean and bright. Had everything needed for a great vacation. Even beach toys, chairs & a wagon to carry it on. The location of the unit made it so easy to get to the beach & pool. Would definitely return.

Maureen,
Thank you for your kind review. I am so happy you like our condo and thank you for your patience with the AC issue. Please reach out when you wanting come back!
Overall, the condo was in great condition, convenient location, and very very clean. Easy to access unit and easy to communicate with the owner. Would recommend they purchase grill utensils as well as keep some basic cooking items like salt and pepper so every guest doesn’t have to purchase. The family enjoyed Sanibel!

Max, thank you for your review. We do supply grilling utensils but I will check to make sure they haven’t disappeared. Unfortunately we can not leave open spices as it’s against health dept standards and that is why we suggest you bring these items before hand. We are happy you enjoyed your stay!
This place was a delight! Great first floor unit which is key with easy access to the beach and all of the amenities. The overall quality of everything within the condo was top notch. Don’t pass this one up!

April, thank you for your review. We are happy that you enjoyed our condo and Sanibel. You were perfect guests and are welcome back anytime!
Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. We are pleased that you enjoyed your stay and it would be our pleasure to have you back again! You were great guests!
The property is absolutely wonderful and owned by great people. The internet disconnected in the middle of the night (accidentally unplugged by my daughter) and the owner contacted me the next morning making sure everything was alright with it. Definitely plan on staying here again in the future.

Well managed and maintained property in a good location and an uncrowded beach. Felt very at home during our 3 week visit. We have booked it again for next year.
Beautiful condo close to beach and ocean. The condo looked brand new and had everything we needed!

Michelle,
Thank you so much for your review. We are thrilled that you enjoyed our condo and Sanibel. We look forward to hosting your future visits to Sanibel!
Clean, well kept properly, first floor with easy access to the pool and beach. Fully equipped kitchen, ample linens, comfortable lanai with full sun in the afternoon. Good communication with the property management.
This was our 3rd time staying at the condo. We love the location and the comfort and style of the condo. Beds are comfortable, bathrooms are clean and water level/temp is great, kitchen is beautiful and stocked, plenty of living space room, and easy to use washer & dryer. The lanai has a ceiling fan that helps for sitting outside. The pool is great and there is a sink & shower coming off of the beach to the condo complex. It’s quiet and family-friendly. Will definitely be back again!
The condo was perfect as was the weather! Perfectly clean, beautifully designed and a wonderful location! We were so pleased that we’ve already rented for next year.

Glad you enjoyed your stay! Please come stay with us again.
Cheers! Tammy & Chris
Chris and Tammy have been vacationing on Sanibel since 1999 and are thrilled to finally own their little piece of paradise at Loggerhead Cay. They both enjoy biking on the miles of bike paths, kayaking the Roosevelt Channel and dinner at their favorite restaurants. And, of course, the miles of beaches to walk and run! Don't forget to watch the sunset at Blind Pass!
Why they chose this property
Loggerhead Cay is perfectly situated on the East End of the Island, 2 miles from the historic lighthouse and very close to the causeway. We stay there often and take great care of our condo as it’s our vacation home too. We have everything you’ll need to enjoy a great relaxing holiday on Sanibel. We also accommodate small, well behaved, dogs.
