The condo itself was as expected and satisfactory. It has great views and is well equipped, and communication with the owner was good. We had one technical issue that was attempted to be addressed within our stay, but ultimately wasn't. The hotel next door is a plus, but be aware that the amenities beyond the restaurants require a pass to be purchased, the price of which differs based on whether or not the condo owner is a member.
Great access to Sanibel and FMB. The private beach is small, but it's yours - nobody else is there. it lacks shade though. Other reviews mention vegetation on the beach. We were OK with it, but honestly you're right next door to excellent beaches, so the private beach probably shouldn't be your key criteria when booking this property
