Loggerhead Cay 562 is a very nice second floor vacation rental condominium. Our two bedroom/two bathroom condo has a fully equipped kitchen, spacious living area with queen sized sleeper sofa and screened porch with courtyard, pool and partial views of the Gulf of Mexico. The master bedroom suite has a new king bed with en-suite bathroom while the guest bedroom has two twin beds and a full bathroom just outside the room. Experience a nicely refreshed look as we recently updated our bathrooms, flooring, kitchen and paint throughout. Our condo offers free high speed wireless internet, cable TV and very easy access to the world famous Sanibel Island shelling beaches, the community pool (one of the largest on the Island and heated during winter months) as well as the other community amenities such as tennis courts, shuffleboard and bbq grills. Loggerhead Cay is one of the most popular rental locations on Sanibel Island with its very convenient East Gulf Drive location. Avoid the traffic during peak season with easy on-off the Island via the Sanibel Causeway. The bike paths run in front of the complex, across East Gulf Drive and Dante's Coal Fired Pizza is a short walk away at the Sanibel Inn.
Important Note: This rental does not include beach chairs or umbrellas. Instead, we’ve partnered with VayKLife to provide you with a credit toward beach essentials like chairs, umbrellas, coolers, wagons, and more—so you can pack light and still enjoy everything you need for a perfect day at the beach. While some of our homes may have beach gear on-site, availability varies, and we cannot guarantee specific items will be provided. With VayKLife, you get to choose exactly what you need, and they’ll deliver it right to your door for added convenience. Your booking confirmation includes a link to VayKLife’s site, where you can browse their full selection and easily redeem your credit. It’s just one of the ways we help make your stay as seamless and enjoyable as possible.
Important Note: E-bikes are not allowed on the property or inside the units. We kindly ask all guests to adhere to this policy to ensure the safety and comfort of everyone staying with us.
Important Note: The elevators are currently functional; however, as they are mechanical items, we cannot guarantee they will remain operational during your stay. Please note that refunds will not be issued in the event of elevator malfunctions.
Due to the aftermath of the storms Helene and Milton, the island is currently in a restoration phase. Please be aware that amenities may not be open or readily accessible during your visit, including limited restaurant options and activities. Additionally, ongoing construction may create noise and other disturbances that we have no control over.

Thank you so much for the great review! I'm thrilled to hear that the layout worked out so well for you and that you loved the easy access to both the pool and the beach. We always want our guests' stays to be as relaxing and effortless as possible. You were wonderful guests, and we would love to welcome you back anytime!
Thank you so much for the review! We are delighted to hear that you loved being so close to the beach and that the grounds were a highlight of your stay.
Providing a beautiful, convenient setting for our guests to relax is exactly what we strive for. We would love to welcome you back to the island for another "lovely" getaway soon!
Condo was spotless and has recently had modern furniture updates which was a nice bonus. We did not have any questions as the arrival info was very thorough. There was constant communication throughout our stay regarding some pool issues the complex was experiencing and other needed updates and reminders. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Thank you so much for the 5-star review! We are thrilled to hear that the condo was spotless for your arrival and that you enjoyed the modern furniture updates—we love how they've refreshed the space as well.
It is great to know that the check-in process was seamless and that our communication kept you well-informed. While we always hope for a stay without any external maintenance issues, we believe in keeping our guests in the loop so there are no surprises, and we appreciate your patience regarding the complex's pool updates.
We are so glad you thoroughly enjoyed your stay and would love to host you again for another island getaway!
This was our first time in Sanibel and we are looking to make it an annual trip. Just steps from the beach and a short drive to restaurants and shopping make Loggerhead Cay condos a perfect location. We did have an issue with the dryer in our unit and wish it had been taken care of during our stay but we were able to make it work.

Thank you and so glad you had a great time. So sorry about the dryer and thank you for your grace. We did get that replaced and it should be good for a while thankfully
The condo was very clean and the furnishings were lovely. The pool was very well maintained. A few issues with the elevator but that was quickly taken care of. Wasy walk to the beach and places to rinse off. We were blessed with beautiful weather. Thank you for sharing with us.

Thank you so much for your kind words and for choosing to stay with us! We're delighted to hear that you found the condo clean and well-furnished, and that you enjoyed the pool and its maintenance.
We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the elevator issues, but we're glad to hear they were resolved quickly. We appreciate your understanding.
It's wonderful that you had such beautiful weather to enjoy the beach and easy access to rinsing off afterward. We're grateful for your visit and hope to welcome you back again soon for another relaxing stay!
Location is perfect, had everything we needed. It would receive 5 stars from us with a few improvements the tile in the kitchen is in need of repair at times I felt the floor move and several tiles were damaged. Carpet was dirty and the place needed a thorough cleaning and better lighting.

Thank you so much for your review. We’ll certainly get with the cleaning team on any areas to improve and the owner in regards to lighting. Hope to welcome you back again soon.
Everything you need for a great stay, but could be a little nicer.
We've come to Sanibel for the past 5 years, and Sanibel always makes for a great vacation (especially if you can get around by bicycle). This Condo was good, and has all of the basic things you need for a good stay in Sanibel. Plenty of space, TVs, good wifi, nice pool, easy beach access, beach chairs and umbrellas, parking for your car and bikes. Check-in and check-out process was smooth, but note the 10am check-out, which I think is awfully early compared to other similar condos (where check-out is typically 11am or 12p). So overall, we had a really good vacation.
There are, however, a variety of issues to note:
1. The beds are quite firm, which we found uncomfortable. The fitted sheet also constantly kept coming off of the king sized bed. I finally had to buy clips to hold this in place so that I could get a good night's sleep. I would strongly encourage the owners to get a pillow-top for this mattress, it would be a relatively inexpensive fix that would make the bed much more comfortable.
2. The kitchen is not well stocked at all. There weren't any containers for storing leftovers, not enough utensils or silverware, and the dishwasher was not in good working order (I actually had to put zip-ties into the the end of the dishwashers top rack to keep it from falling out). It definitely seems like this unit is corporately owned, as no owner would put up with these little issues.
3. Unit had been cleaned well, but still doesn't look very clean, due to cracked molding, sloppy paint job, etc. The drain was slow which resulted in some unpleasant odors on a few occasions. I almost fixed this too, but I was afraid of what might be in that drain.
4. The unit wasn't very well sound-proofed. It's right by the pool and the neighbors weren't especially quiet. If you are really sensitive to noise, or really want to hear the surf, this may not be for you. It wasn't loud enough to really bother us, so I think most people will be OK.

Thank you for your review and very happy to see that you had a great time. I’ll certainly get with the owners on any recommendations. We do want to make sure the property provides as best a stay as possible for each guest. The complex had wonderful amenities and so close to the beach. We’ll look forward to welcoming you back again sometime soon.
We enjoyed the unit very much. It was clean and well cared for. The furnishings were very comfortable for evening activities. The unit overlooks the pool and gardens, and the view was pleasant and inviting, with many flowering trees and bushes. The beds were very comfortable. The internet connection was seemless.
Sanibel was magical as always ... Loggerhead Cay 562, not so much.
We have stayed at Loggerhead probably a dozen times, this was by far the worst condo we have stayed in.
It is in need of some serious updating, the finish is peeling off the master bedroom tub, bathrooms have drawers that don't open, cracked and loose tiles in the kitchen ... etc, etc.

Hi Tim
So sorry that the unit wasn’t a five star experience. We’ve rented the property quite a bit and have nice reviews. I’ve gone over everything and am working with the owner to rectify everything to make sure things are as perfect as possible moving forward. Again, our apologies. We all work very hard to make sure things are perfect, however, when they aren’t, we’ll work even harder to get there.
Absolutely wonderful!!!! We really enjoyed our stay!! We will be coming back!!

The unit was as advertised - a comfortable place to stay and work from home in a great location. Although the unit was technically dog friendly, dogs aren’t allowed in the community spaces on the property so I either had to walk my pup on the beach (and wash her) or walk her in the parking lot. Would recommend this place but wish I’d known it was more “dog tolerated” than “dog friendly.”

Thank you so much for your review and happy to see you enjoyed your stay. Yes, it is pet friendly with some restrictions but at least much better than most complexes that are completely against it. We’ll look forward to welcoming you back again soon!
We enjoyed our stay at this condo. It was very clean as pictured. We had several issues, which the property manager responded to within minutes (a/c froze, dishwasher clogged). The water pressure was sporadic during our stay; was told it could be a city or building issue; however, it was manageable with our small family. The king bed sits low without a box spring, which might make it difficult for some climbing in/out. (Above reasons are why I gave it 4 vs 5 stars.) It's an easy walk to the beach, many shells to find, and look for the bunnies in the courtyard! Overall, we had a wonderful stay.
