Lovely house! Easy walk onto the beach and loved the private pool!
8 / 10Excellent·Feb 2025
Stunning beach & gulf water views from the lanai, living room and two primary bedrooms. The pool was clean and warm; garage was a nice asset and we had everything we needed including beach chairs & towels. The only big negative is a groundwater run off pipe discharging horrid rotten egg smelling water next to the lanai which permeates the lanai & spoiling the ambience, we would need to leave the lanai and go inside with doors closed. But if windows/doors open, it also permeates the living areas. Plus, at night, with bedroom windows open, the awful odor comes upstairs into the bedrooms. It's really bad and hopefully this could be corrected. We are on the fence as to whether we would rent here again because of the ongoing bad odors; maybe it can be corrected with a long run off pipe keeping the bad odors further away from the house.

The cleanliness of the pool and surrounding area was very poor. While there was reasonable room sleeping available, the whole house felt cramped, cluttered and small. The pool went unheated for several days and was not a comfortable pool arrangement. Access to the beach was fine. Condos at Sanibel's East End (currently undergoing reconstruction after IAN) like Sanibel Beach Club II (SBCII) is MUCH better, Cleaner and closer places to see within easy walking distance and biking is available. This location was too close to public access parking so more people were around and not as serene as the SBCII. Way overpriced and I would NEVER go back to this VRBO again. Feel taken and not a good feeling when you believe a vacation would be nice for the family. THIS IS DEFINITLY NOT THE PLACE.
