This was our first stay on Sanibel Island and we had a wonderful experience. The condo was very clean, easy to access, and had a beautiful ocean view. We loved the quiet mornings and watching the sunrises from the screened-in patio.The location was perfect — close to the lighthouse and ideal for exploring the island. We visited the wildlife refuge, shell museum, and local wildlife rehabilitation center, and enjoyed the many nearby restaurant options. Sanibel has such a peaceful, relaxing atmosphere, and this condo was a great place to enjoy it. We would happily stay here again.

The location is perfect and close to the Lighthouse, the beach access is also close. The condo was very well maintained.
10 / 10Outstanding·Jan 2025
The condo is lovely! The location and views are terrific, and the condition is very nice! The resort is in the midst or being rebuilt from Hurricane Ian in 2022. The pool and tennis court were unavailable, but we didnt care, because we wanted the beach, and it was gorgeous, and not crowded at all.
