great family vacation

We loved the condo. A great location with quick easy access to the beach as well as close to restaurants, shopping, etc. The beach was never overcrowded - enjoyed taking walks and shelling. We really liked the beach closet which was fully stocked with gear for the beach - chairs, umbrellas, coolers, boogie boards etc - anything you might need! This was our first trip to Sanibel and we will be returning and would definitely stay here again.

Sanibel West Gulf Beach

Great location in a quiet 9-unit building on the beach with a nice building pool. We appreciated the beautiful view overlooking the garden and ocean. We enjoyed our meals on the screened-in lanai and appreciated the light-filled corner unit. Well-stocked condo made it an easy family beach destination.

Very nice vacation

The room was very nice and clean. I gave cleanliness 3 stars not due to the room, but the outside where a common trash can was overflowing for days and I thought the locker area could have been hosed down or swept of sand.

Absolutely perfect!

When this says steps from the beach it means mere STEPS! So close and perfect for our two kids under 5. Everything you need in the closet for beach toys, kites, towels, chairs, umbrella, pack n play; this is a one stop shop. We will definitely be staying here again!! Also super close to tons of restaurants which we biked to every day!

Fantastic Week Away

I can't say enough good things about this condo right on a beautiful beach. My family had a wonderful time and loved everything about the condo. It was big enough for us to spread out and had every thing we could possibly need, right down to the laundry detergent, soap, towels and a special welcome gift. We definitely recommend renting this property and we can't wait to come back. Thank you for sharing your place with us!

Everything one needs or wants!

This is by far the BEST condo we've stayed in during our years of summer vacations in Florida. There was nothing we wanted that wasn't in the unit -- everything from luxurious beds to fully-stocked kitchen. The storage unit was loaded with beach gear as well -- sun umbrellas, chairs, tube float, and noodles. We had a wonderful time and will definitely be back again.

Great family vacation

The condo was well maintained with beautiful gulf views and easy access to the beach. There was plenty of space on the beach with families every 10 yards or farther and most times we were the only people at the pool. The condo was also well equipped with everything that we needed for the stay, such as paper towels, toilet paper, soap, dishwasher and laundry soap, spices for cooking, beach gear, nightlights in all rooms and even a travel crib for our baby. The keyless entry and checkin made it very convenient. The host was very responsive to questions. Overall, we loved it there and would return.

Relaxing, enjoyable vacation

We stayed 7 nights, family of 4 with 2 teens. The condo is spacious, great location with short walk to the beach. The kitchen was very well stocked for cooking, the coffee maker could have been better, but there are 2, one keurig and a coffee maker. Beds were comfortable. There is beach gear outside, such as chairs and umbrella. We rented bikes for the week and were able to ride to different places to eat, shop. Pretty centrally located. The bike trails are great, but it is very hot. The beach was great and so relaxing. No issues with booking this condo and I even had to change the dates. Thanks for a great week.

Perfect Condo

Everything was perfect and exceeded expectations! Gulf view amazing! We ended up flying in instead of driving and condo had it all! Everything for beach days including umbrella and foldable wagon and coolers enough for drinks and sandwiches. Shelling amazing! Pool was perfect for early morning and evening. We swam in gulf during the day. Easy access to everything and traditions next door is pricey but amazing food, drink, and entertainment. Super clean, well stocked. If you don’t book here you are truly missing out! Flawless check in as well. We will definitely book again if we can find availability this one is a gem! Owner checked in with us via message day after arrival and we were so pleased with her hospitality!

Beautiful rental, right off beach

Great condition, beautifully decorated, true to the pictures. Balcony has view of the ocean, right off the beach. We had a tortoise in the backyard! This was a bit pricier than other comparable rentals, but everything was booking fast! On the higher side of our budget for # of beds, plan ahead! Quiet facility with other families. Easy check in process, although only uses keypad - kept thinking there was a key in the box to get into downstairs storage but never figured that out. Nice, clean pool on site. Could use a bit more stocking of kitchen utensils, pans and storage supplies but we added some. There was no need to reach owners, messages through vrbo were sufficient. This area was great for daily beach going but a bit farther from the shops and restaurants so we drove to most of those, did rent bikes and ride those a couple of days to explore. We LOVE Sanibel!!! Beautiful rental and soo many pretty shells found on the beach at this property! Very satisfied!

Great property. Very comfortable. Owner has gone out of their way to try to provide all the comforts of home. The kitchen was fully stocked with EVERYTHING you could possibly need for meal prep. There were plenty of beach supplies. We didn't want for anything. We enjoyed our time there and would use the location again.

Disappointed in VRBO and the host

Property was not ready at 4:00 as promised. We were told it possibly would be ready early. We arrived at 4 with groceries and had not heard a word from the host as she promised to let us know when it was ready. We walked in and the condo was a mess,food on the carpet,stains all over, mud tracked in,nasty food left in the fridge, and beds all unmade. We called her and she got back with us and said the cleaner. Had an accident. Then said things happen. Understood. But not being informed was unacceptable. We drove 10 hours that day and we’re exhausted. She said just go eat somewhere and it will get cleaned .We sat in the car in 50 degree weather not feeling like driving in the Saturday traffic to find a place to eat. Finally after an hour she sent us a gift certificate for dinner next door. Nice gesture but we were trying to stay away from crowds due to Covid and that’s why we chose the condo so we could fix our own meals. We didn’t hear back until about 6:30 and when we went in the beds were made ,they had mopped and emptied the fridge but the carpet was filthy with stains all over. We just went to bed and gave up. We should have refused the property but felt we had no choice. Besides this the pool wasn’t heated for the first week we were there and we again talked with the host and never got a response. Found out ourselves the propane was out and it took a week before we saw the truck refilled. We picked this condo for the heated pool because I had surgery before we left and needed it for therapy. Monday after we got there the host finally got someone to clean the carpets and said they would be dry in an hour or two. 5 days later they we finally dry enough to put the furniture back. She told us to but it back the next day but all the tables were metal and we didn’t want to be responsible for rust on the carpet. 3/4 f the condo is carpet and it was so wet it even soaked up on the bed skirts. We had to be bare foot the first week of the vacation. The 2 of us also spent 2 hours scrubbing the floors and bathrooms which we filthy. Toothpaste and makeup all over the walls in both bathrooms. Disgusting! With Covid this property wes a mess and not ready fo occupancy!!! In need of painting and a very deep clean. The headboard in the master had a huge layer of fur ball along with all the other undusted surfaces. Also the electrical is very unsafe, non working switches, flimsy extension cords tacked to the baseboards and when both
