Pointe Santo and unit C-36 is beautiful. We spoke with several people during our trip and Pointe Santo is the place to stay. The grounds are beautifully kept. The condo is well furnished with a great view. We definately would like to come back again!!

First rate complex and condo

Guest: Corner Cafe Radio (Luxembourg)

We chose this condo for the location and were not disappointed. Situated on a great shelling beach with magnificent sunsets (and no highrise buildings on the horizon which condos on beaches closer to the Sanibel lighthouse may experience). It was close to amenities (but not so close as to feel commercial) and the complex is beautifully landscaped. Convenient to bike rentals and bike trails. Inside, the owner has provided all the comforts, from high-count sheets on the King bed (nice view from master bdrm too) to useable pots, pans & tupperware in the kitchen--even flashlights and a cooler. The only issue that keeps me from grading this condo up to “excellent” was the fact that it is not on the top floor (thus the noise from the condo above & voices carrying were distracting) and the photo-though completely accurate for the front view--does not give one a sense for all the condos on either side, leading down to the beach. This is a large complex. The lovely landscaping and view of the pond compensated, however. Would highly recc to families and those used to condo-style living.

Owner response:Thanks for your review Deborah. I'm so glad you had a good time. With respect to the noise issue, the owner of the condo above us does not rent it out and is usually very quiet. Thank you for letting me know about the situation. I will certainly pass the information on to the owners of the condo above us!

MUST READ

We were very hesitant to book a trip through VRBO as all our past vacations had been booked through a travel agent. A friend had been telling me about VRBO for a year. The site was user friendly and we were fortunate enough to locate this particular condo at Pointe Santo. Pointe Santo is 30 minutes from Fort Meyers. The management company was less then 1 mile from the condo and they made the process easy, as checking in and only took less then 3 minutes.The condo and complex was amazing. The condo its self was beautiful, spotless and fully stocked. You had ocean views from every room except the guest room. You are steps from the Gulf and pool. Designated parking was provided and it was directly in front of the room. To simply sum it up all you need to bring is sunscreen. The owner, Sharon was so helpful and knowledgeable about the area. The only concern was trying not to run over turtles in the parking lot. We made life long memories with our family and will be back next year. This is a must book. Thanks for everything Sharon.

Owner response:Thank you for your review Tom. We'll look forward to your return visit. Next time no hurricanes!!

Can't Wait to Go Back!

My husband and I recently stayed at this property with our two young children. The condo is spacious, very clean and has all the amentities of home. The views are spectacular and there is so much to do. We spent time at the beach and at the pool and the kids LOVED it! It was a great mix of people too, young and old. Not to mention the fact that we saw the resident alligator in the pond, which our 4 yr. old thought was the coolest thing ever, cow-nosed rays and dolphins in the ocean, and a bunch of different birds. We are already looking forward to going back next year!

Owner response:I'm so glad you had a good time Gretchen. Let's book your week next year!

The condo is very nice and well appointed. The kitchen is one of the best equipped of any units we've rented. Would certainly recommend this unit.

We thoroughly enjoyed our January week in Sanibel in this unit. It was well equipped, beautifully decorated and every convenience was there. It was an awesome experience from the making of the reservation to final departure. Just wish we could have stayed longer!!!

The Cloghessy Family Condo On Sanibel Island

Want to get away for awhile? Would you like to escape and relax? How about leaving the cell phone, computer and all that stress for a week or more? If so, we have a recommendation for your consideration and it follows. On your first morning at Pointe Santo, plan for coffee on the balcony overlooking the gardens, lake, pool, jacuzzi and the gulf beach -- guaranteed you'll be there until lunch. The view from this balcony is serene, relaxing and absolutely gorgeous! This view is only surpassed by the beautifully decorated and well maintained condo with all of its amenities. The family provides a notebook with recommendations for places to eat and things to see and do. We found this to be very helpful, so be sure to review this well prepared document. There is so much to enjoy. This total experience provided us with a very memorable vacation. We recommend this family home without any reservations. You will want to return! Irene & John Lobuts, Prof. Emeritus GWU, Washington, DC.

Owner response:Dear John & Irene: You are the BEST! Thank you for the glowing review! Fondly, Sharon

Great time at Pointe Santo. The listing description was accurate. The Condo was clean, updated and very comfortable. The owner was helpful and very accommodating. The grounds are beautiful. We enjoyed relaxing at the pool and walking the beach and riding bikes around the island. It was all we had wanted and hope to return.

Owner response:Dear Scott & Deb: Thanks so much for taking time to review our condo. Let us know when you're ready to return! Stay warm, Sharon
