Paradise View, 11th Floor Gulf Beachfront Condo, WiFi in Room

I absolutely loved my stay. From the moment I walked through the door it felt like home. The kitchen was well stocked with all the gadgets needed for preparing a meal and the beach equipment was wonderful. I didn't need to go out and get anything. As I'd cart my things to the beach, people in the building would ask where I got this or that, especially the cart. And the view! I loved sitting outside with my coffee watching the dolphins. The shelling was fantastic.

Anytime I had a question, Peggy was always so helpful and quick to reply. It felt like communicating with a family friend. She made the entire experience so much better.

Up until this year, I have always stayed on the beach on Sanibel. I can't wait to be able to book this condo again. They truly have thought of everything!

Thank you for the wonderful stay!

The good and bad about the rental.

The unit was well stocked, and very clean. The mattress and sheets were awesome. The beach toys and chairs were awesome. The kitchen had absolutely everything you could need to prepare food and then some more.

The location cannot be called beachfront by my definition. Calling it beachfront borders on deception IMO. If you place your chairs on the very smallest end of the porch, you get a partially obstructed view of the ocean. At the time of year we went, the sunset was not possible to see from any part of the balcony.

Grills were listed as an amenity, but were not available during our stay.

Washer and dryer were listed as an amenity, but the listing does not specify that it is a coin operated laundry on the first floor. Most ads on VRBO specify if it is a shared laundry.

There are three buildings on the property with roughly 50 condo’s per building. There is a pool, but you have to walk a bit to get to the pool that is between the OTHER 2 buildings. It seems likely that when these buildings were built in 1980, there was a second pool, but it is no longer. The one remaining pool is roughly 20’x40’, and in the off season when we were there, felt crowded as it serves a total of 150 units.

We expected to have the use of the condo exclusively, but while we were gone one day, someone entered our unit and left a basket of laundry for the next week. NOT appreciated at all. The owner explained that the cleaning lady was leaving town the next week. So clearly, it was in the best interest of the cleaning crew, nut not in the best interest of happy guests.

The A/C is old, and needs to be replaced. It struggles 24/7, and it was only 90F outside. Cleaning the clogged filters helped some, but still not adequate. It was necessary to keep the shades closed in order to remain remotely comfortable at all. The bathroom is equipped with three quartz halogen lights and it was a sauna in there. We just kept the bathroom door closed because the A/C was laboring so badly to keep the condo cool. The hallway near the elevator was cooler than our unit on many days.

The lock is electronic, and uses a four digit code to enter. The code is not being switched between renters as best we could tell. It is also ridiculously easy to leave the condo without the door locking behind you. Not a secure feeling. Hope this review helps you make an educated decision as to the suitability of this unit for you.

I can't say enough good things about this condo, It felt just like home! Everytime we opened the door after a long day of exploring, we were so happy to come "home" to this lovely condo! The views were spectacular and the location was perfect! Definitely is much closer to Bonita Springs, than Fort Myers which we were happy about. Don't hesitate to book this condo, it is a true gem! Peggy was very kind and helpful! The sofa was the only issue (if you could call it that) the cushions slide out a bit too easily.. but certainly nothing that would change my mind about this lovely place! 5 STARS!!!

This placce was awesome! It is exact'y as pictured. This was just the perfect size condo for my husband and I. The only update that it needs is a new couch, it was not very comfortable but other than that we loved it. Would definitely stay here again.

We really enjoyed our stay and it truly is a Paradise View from the 11th floor! We enjoyed full sunrise and sunset views from the balcony. The condo was very clean and comfortable and had everything you need. We would definitely stay again!
