HOME FEATURES

The moment you walk into Compass Point 181, you'll be taken away by the unobstructed and breathtaking views of the Gulf of Mexico, right from your living room and private lanai. Here you can enjoy the smell of the ocean salt in the air, the sound of the waves crashing ashore and the most beautiful views of Sanibel's wildlife. This two-bedroom, plus den, can sleep up to six guests and is a rarity of the Compass Point complex. Whether it's pelicans diving down to catch their morning meals or a pod of dolphins swimming by, you'll truly enjoy the tranquility and peacefulness of this condo without ever feeling like you’re in a condo complex. You will have access to a storage closet, parking spot and elevator just steps from the front entrance, making it easy and convenient for your luggage, groceries and beach equipment.



As you walk into the condo you’ll notice a den area (considered 3rd bedroom) off to your left and from the kitchen that is perfect for younger children with a queen sleeper sofa, a TV and a dresser armoire. Across from the den area is the guest bedroom that features a king bed, a TV and a shared hallway bathroom. Walking further into the condo you’ll enter the spacious kitchen and living area that is tastefully decorated and updated with tropical and lavish touches. Off from the living room is the primary bedroom that features, not only a king bed and ensuite bathroom, but also has exquisite views of the Gulf as well.



If you’re not enjoying the beach, take a dip in the complex’s heated pool, play a game of tennis/shuffleboard or enjoy grilling out by the BBQ grills. Compass Point has so much to offer for your entire family. Unit 181 is truly the cherry on top with its beautiful views, updates and access to everything you need to make those lasting memories.

This was our first stay at Compass Point and we thoroughly enjoyed it! The condo was clean and in pristine condition. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was well-stocked, and the view from the lanai was spectacular. This unit was a gem. the beach was spacious and not crowded at all. Only caveat would be the 3rd bedroom sleeper sofa. I would only recommend this for young children as it was not very comfortable to sleep on. Other than that, I would highly recommend this condo for anyone looking for a great place to stay.

The condo served us well for Thanksgiving week. We we’re able to use the table leaf to seat 9 for our turkey dinner. ( rented 2 condos for sleeping). The cabana was a total hit with the 3 preteens and provided a convenient bathroom close to the beach.Very comfortable accommodations! Plenty of beach chairs, boogie boards, a wagon & other fun items in the storage unit.
