Ft.Myers Beach is great in itself, but beach at Sandarac is constantly groomed and cleaned-wonderful.Tim's condo is well furnished, clean A plus. Sandarac itself as a condo facility seems to be very well run-staff is everpresent and proficient at maintaining everything well.
The property was very clean. The amenities were great. The pool was warm access to the beach was great. Could use a few more restaurants.

Thank you Kathy for taking the time to post your review. I was happy to hear from you during your stay and learn that you loved the condo and were having a fantastic birthday celebration!
I am sorry that you caught the end of the red tide in the area as well as rain. We are located in a tropical climate and are also about mid way through our "rainy" season here in SW Florida. We tend to get a little bit of heavy rain each day. As you probably noticed, the rain comes down hard, fierce and heavy for a good solid 20 minutes, leaves some standing water but then dry's up so fast that it's hard to believe that it actually rained that day. Tropical environments are interesting, but definitely a true form of paradise! Thank you for choosing our condo for your stay and we look forward to your return trip to our condo the next time your plans bring you back to our area. Michele
Everything went seamless, from check-in to check-out, and the condo & facility was clean! Overall, great stay!

We enjoyed the condo, good location. The only disappointment was the pool was cold so did not use, also did not see anyone else in the pool.

Hi Gordon; Thank you for taking the time to post your review, I appreciate :). I am happy to know that you found our spacious condo to be comfortable, quiet and in a great location. We are known to be located at the very best spot on the beach, so very happy that you enjoyed the peace as well as the great restaurants and things to do nearby. As for the pool, it is normally pretty toasty, however the month of December down here can surprise us a bit, and this year we have been cooler then usual, especially over night. I spoke with the community manager who reports that the pool is cranked onto the highest heat setting possible and that despite the cooler overnights dipping into the low's 50's with low 70's during the day some days this month, the Sandarac's oversized pool has still managed to maintain around an 80 degree temperature. We do typically like to see it a tad bit warmer, (especially me as I am a cold weather wimp) however all of the pools down here are a bit dependent on Mother Nature doing her part during the day time hours to help the pool temp working it's best with the heater. I wish we could fight Mother Nature and win, however we are at times at her mercy :) Thank you for choosing our condo for your stay, hope to see your back next year during a consistently warmer month :). Keep in touch! Michele

Thank you so much for taking the time to post your review.

This condo is in a great location. The beach is beautiful and is a good walking beach. The condo was very clean, and stocked with everything we needed.
We can recommend it highly.
Snowbird Retreat was just what we were looking for. The ocean view and proximity to the beach was the best. Unit has been nicely updated and the owners have made sure to include everything you might need from beach gear to blenders.
We truly enjoyed our stay and would not hesitate to return again.

Hi Jim;
Your comments are "music to my ears" as my main goal is to always make sure our vacation condo "exceeds your expectations" as you stated your wonderful review. Thank you so much and for being such great renters. I absolutely love what I do and look forward to working with you as you plan for your next stay at our condo! Please do keep in touch! Michele
Condo was wonderful, clean and as described. Building was quiet. Michele, the owner, was efficient and timely in terms of getting me all of the pre trip info and she got back to me immediately when I texted with a question. Thoroughly enjoyed the beach on a daily basis (walks, beautiful sunsets) - I really liked being on the gulf side - gentle rolling small waves and teeming with wildlife (birds). Great location! Helped that our weather was really nice :) Thanks for having us as your guests - I would definitely return again.

Hi Ed and Family;
Thank you so much for posting such a wonderful review of your families vacation experience at our condo located directly on the beach. I appreciate and am always humbled by such kind words :). The daily beach visits walks, wild bird watching, enjoying the sunsets over the Gulf of Mexico are truly some of life's most special pleasures. I was so happy knowing that you and your family had a most wonderful stay and plan to return back to our Fort Myers Condo in the future. Thanks again, keep in touch! Michele
Condo was clean and comfy! We had 2 adults and 2 teenaged girls. And it was plenty of space for the 4 of us. Two bathrooms made it much easier for 4 people. It was exactly as described. Beds were great. AC worked wonderfully! Location was great. LOVED the sunsets on the beach. I would definitely come back to this condo. And I hope I get the chance to come back.

Hi Heidi;
Thank you so much for taking the time to post your wonderful 5 star review for our Fort Myer Beach Front (DIRECTLY ON THE BEACH :) condo. The extra bathroom for your two teenagers was no doubt a great condo asset. I have had teen girls myself and know how important it is to have that extra bathroom while on a family vacation ! It would be hard to go back to a hotel room for vacations after sprawling out in a spacious condo :). The only solution of course is that your family return back to my condo for vacation again soon :). Thanks again for your kind words, keep in touch. Michele

Another wonderful winter at the Sandarac
Thank you Michele for another great winter in your condo. Last year we made the decision to leave the cold weather and spend our winters in Florida. We were so very lucky to find your condo through VRBO. It is exactly what we were looking for - a spacious, comfortable 2 bedroom, 2 bath condo with beautiful views of the Gulf, a pool and most important right on the beach - we love to take walks on the beach. We are also happy that the condo is walking distance to several good restaurants, a tiki bar, shops and the movie theater. This is our second year renting Michele's condo and we have already booked it for next year.

Thank you so much Peggy and Michael. It has been absolutely my pleasure turning my beach front condo over to you both during the winter months to enjoy during these past several years. In fact, I already have you both returning for winter of 2019 for your 4th stay at our condo. I know the views from our condo home are quite hard to resist :) The location as you mentioned is the absolute best with all of the restaurant offerings, shops, farmers market, and the fun "dinner movie theater" just a few minutes walk to the North. Thank you so much for returning each year, we appreciate and always love working with you both.

It really is paradise
Gorgeous condo, directly on the beach. The condo had amazing views of the water and it was very convenient to the best restaurants and area shops. We especially loved this Condos South Island location as it allowed for quick access with very little traffic on and off the island. We drove down to Nappes for a day which was easy to do from this condos location. We noticed quite a bit more traffic congestion at the Islands second exit located on the North side of the Island . The traffic on that end was due to some part to road construction, however that side of the beach does appear to have much more congestion with both people and traffic. We appreciated this condos perfect location as a result. The owner of this condo was responsive in every way with quickly answering all of our questions providing area information and for providing us with a spotless, spacious condo just as advertised. The Internet was high speed and the cable televisiona had a great variety of channels for us to surf in the evenings. The condo had everything we needed including coffee, soaps, games, beach towels, beach chairs, coolers, hair dryers and more. We will definitely return and we have already recommended this condo to friends for their next vacation. Thank you for a great stay!

Hi Michael and Family;
Thank you so much for choosing our condo for your stay and for writing such a fully comprehensive review of your wonderful experience. We appreciate so much you taking the time to share your positive experience or our condo and working with me with others.
I am so happy that you were able to enjoy our fantastic "South Side" of the Islands location. The drive down to Naples (roughly 18 miles) is so easy to do from our less congested, more direct South end of the beach. We will certainly look forward to your return trip back to our condo. Thank you again and please do keep in touch! Michele
Very nice condo with excellent location right on the beautiful beach of Fort Myers. Michele has an amazing disposition to help guests and replies hands on in seconds.
We had a great experience at the condo- first of all the condo is beautiful. It’s huge. It’s clean and it has beautiful ocean views. We all had plenty of room to spread out and the open living space made it easy to be together as well. Everything is there that you need and every little detail has been thought of from coffee to cookie sheets to beach gear. The condo is close to the elevator and is steps from the beach as well as the beachfront pool. The mid island beach area is really fun, it’s clean and you can rent jet skis or walk to the tiki bar next door. You are also walking distance to other shops and restaurants in a little plaza down the street and a short ride (or drive) to both Bonita springs and the north end of fort Myers beach. Michele is awesome, very easy to reach if you have any questions. We love to rent on Vrbo for our summer vacations and rarely do we necessarily stay in the same place twice- but we really loved this one and we will definitely be back!

About the host
Hosted by Tim & Anne Lyons
We're Anne & Tim Lyons, owners of the Ocean State School of Gymnastics in Lincoln Rhode Island have been married and in business together since 1980. Visiting friends in the Fort Myers Beach area for the past 35 years has given us an affection to the area and have always wanted to purchase a condo on the beach for personal use a few times a year as well as for investment purposes. We have been landlords in RI for the past 40 years and have decided to move our property investing south. We have been looking at possible properties in the area for years and believe we've found our gem.
Why they chose this property
Property is on the beach. The common areas and grounds are maintained beautifully. Easy access to Bonita Springs and Naples. Great management!
What makes this property unique
There is access to Estero Island on both the south end and the north end. The north entrance is very busy during season. This condo is situated more mid/south island which puts you closer to the south egress which gives you a great option for less congested travel.
