This is the third time my family has stayed on Sanibel. This condo was the nicest place we have stayed. Our six month old loved the pool, and amazing beachfront location. The rest of us loved that the condo became home as soon as we opened the doors. Beautiful, comfortable and convenient. It was so nice to have an elevator to carry all of the baby stuff up. The covered parking also adds to convenience. Beautiful place, hated to come home to "real" world. Will be staying again. Owner called on check in day to make sure everything was perfect. Incredibly easy to deal with.

Owner response:We have the best condo guests! It is like opening a special gift when we receive the message that a guest has sent a review. I am so pleased to know our 6 month old guest and family enjoyed their vacation. Thanks to our guests that take their time to write a review. Susie

This condo is everything the description says...open, bright living area, nice upgraded kitchen & bathrooms, and so close to the water you feel like you're on the beach! Great location on the island also, very convenient to travel either direction. We saw dolphins swim by every day, along with all of the other birds, osprey nest, etc. We actually had a dolphin surface about 15 feet away from us in the water! If you choose this unit you won't be disappointed!

Owner response:It is our goal that our guests enjoy the best vacation ever! When a guest takes their time to submit a review, we really appreciate it. Susie

Thank you for allowing us to lease your condo again. It was as wonderful as when we were there four years ago. We appreciate that it is so clean, maintained, comfortable and well equipped. Sanibel is so beautiful and peaceful! We loved it and had such a relaxing vacation. With sincere thanks,

We arrived at the condo after spending a couple nights in a cottage just down the street. When we entered the condo we were blown away by the beautiful ocean view and it semed we were practically standing on the beach from inside the living area. What a great place !! It had more amenities than we needed, a very comfortable bed in the master suite, remodeled bath, very nice kitchen and a large laundry area. The screened in porch overlooking the beach adjoins the master suite and we could listen to the ocean waves all night long. The swimming pool area was also nice - plenty of shade and sun. Susie, owner, was very helpful...she answered all my questions before arriving and was easily accessible during our stay. It was comforting knowing we could call her with any issues that may arise. We looked around the area and couldn't find a place nicer than this for the price...we will stay there when returning to Sanibel.

Closest Condo to Ocean!

All I can say is WOW!!! Susie's condo was so beautiful, so close to the beach, & so tastefully decorated!! We woke up to the sounds of ocean waves & osprey calls every morning! The wildlife experiences, shelling, warm waters, & beautiful sunsets have us spoiled to any other beaches! We will always compare other beaches to Sanibel now! The condo was better than described & shown & Susie was always very helpful. I would recommend this place to anyone. You will not regret staying here. The only minor negative was the internet speed was really slow, but we managed fine. We would also recommend eating at the Mucky Duck in Captiva & going on the Sunset Private Charter Ride with Captain Mark. It was rated #1 attraction on Trip Advisor for good reason!! It was our best day here & definitely worth every penny! We could not have asked for a better beach getaway...this is definitely a slice of paradise we'll not forget! Even the dolphins came by on our last evening walk to wish us well! Thanks again for sharing your wonderful beach haven with us!!!

Owner response:It is so rewarding to know our guests had such a wonderful time on the island and our condo. We realize a potential guest has many choices and we appreciate and take very seriously the responsibility of doing our part to make sure their vacation will be the best ever. Susie

I wanted to be sure to leave you a note to let you know what a great time we had. It has ben a very rough Illinios winter and keeping this "vision" in the back of our minds got us through. The condo is in the perfect location - it's spacious & so "homey". the view from here alone made it hard to do anything but take it all in. We shopped, biked and ate at all the great stops...but it always felt so good to come back to here. Not sure how I will drink my coffee next week without the lanai! Our family is taking shells back and many memories. We hope to visit and stay here again...thanks so much! A perfect vacation...pretty sure a part of my sould now resides on this beach.

Best Location on Sanibel!

My wife and I stayed here during the week of September 11 - 18, 2010. We choose this condo after careful research of all available condos, hotels and resorts. Some are more expensive and some less, but none offered the value of a beautifully decorated, two bedroom, two bath condo looking straight out on the Gulf and very close to the beach. Having never been here before, I was concerned about the unknown, such as would there be a TV in the bedrooms? Would cable TV be the very basic? Would there be sufficient cutlery, glasses and plates? Basic condiments? The answer to all was yes. EVERYTHING you could conceivably need are there. TV in every bedroom and complete cable along with wifi for a computer, if you should carry one with you. We did to check weather and emails. The waterfront is extraordinary. Large picture windows look straight out on the beach where we saw incredible numbers of every type of seabird imaginable. Several times I saw dolphins playing in the surf, once only a few feet from a couple standing at the water's edge - apparently checking out the people! This is a wildlife lover's dream. At the time of year we were there, thunderstorms build up almost every day and you can watch the display out over the gulf from the screened-in patio or through the windows in the condo but don't have your lights on because it can disorient the huge turtles that come up on the beach at night to lay their eggs! Of course, as Sanibel Island is known to be one of the top shelling locations in the world, you can walk along just outside your condo for the best selection. After one day with strong surf from a distant storm, many more were uncovered. Sanibel has many fine restaurants and attractions which can be found with a little research and Tripadvisor.com. Overall, this is the best value for what you get on the island. We didn't want to leave. We could live there!
