Our trip to Sanibel Island was everything we hoped for

We spent our mornings shelling along the beach and our afternoons enjoying the peaceful surroundings. Communication with the host was quick and easy, and the resort staff made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. We will definitely come back!

Loved our stay on Sanibel Island. The condo was pet-friendly, great for shelling, and just steps from the beach. The host was very responsive too, which made everything easier, especially when we had to ask some questions.

Fabulous relaxing stay in Sanibel in Eco feeling casitas

Unlike some vacationers, we looked for casitas style housing, beautiful garden and landscape, but also natural housing with settings up on stilts, not up millions of stairs and elevator floors. We loved knowing that the lighting would be safe for the newly hatched turtles, nesting birds and overall had a smartly maintained natural look and feel. The whole theme was calmness, natural habitat, and the sound of the waves on the beach--- A most Heavenly experience for all!!!!

Exceeded Our Expectations

We booked this condo on Sanibel Island just to try it out, and we honestly didn't expect it to be this perfect! The unit was clean, bright, and super comfortable, with everything we needed for a stress-free stay. The short walk to the beach was a huge bonus, and the quiet, relaxing atmosphere made it easy to unwind. The location is great for exploring nearby shops and restaurants too. We're so glad we chose this place and would definitely come back!

We spent Thanksgiving week here and had a marvelous time.

Kitchen was well furnished and allowed for several dinner meals to be prepared. The bedrooms were quite comfortable. The wrap around porch was great for our dog. A short walk down to the surf. We would stay here again.

Sanibel - beautiful beaches!

Recent hurricanes have caused severe damage to the island and the island needs visitors to help it recover, but, in fairness, future guests need an accurate picture of what to expect. We made our reservation knowing Sanibel was still recovering from Ian (2 yrs ago), but prior to hurricanes Helene & Milton (within the last 2 mos) which caused new damage from flooding and winds. So, keep that in mind when reading my review. The condo - Overall great! Clean, large, equipped well for visitors & good island location. Security is weak. One access via a solid door that locks is good, but a second access via a 'locking' screen door provides no real security. Leaving any valuables in the condo when going out seems risky. Don't bring pets. Although the condo itself is dog-proof (e.g., all tile floors), there was no green space outside for the dogs. The beach - Beautiful! Shell-hunting was probably negatively impacted by the recent 2 hurricanes. Caution - "No see-ums" which are small, biting gnat-like bugs. Their bite was an aggravation for me, but tortuous for my wife and dogs. Unaware of these pests, my wife received hundreds of bites on her legs on our first walk on the beach. So, we bought repellant. It helped, but is not 100% effective. Screens don't block them either. According to the locals, there is no known safe repellant for pets. Our dogs suffered bites every trip outside. We cut our trip short because of the no see-ums. They likely were worse due to the recent hurricanes.

Thank you for your thoughtful and detailed review, David. We truly appreciate you sharing your experience, especially considering the challenges posed by recent hurricanes. We’re glad you enjoyed the condo and its location, and we’ll certainly take note of your comments regarding security and the pet situation for future improvements. We’re sorry to hear about the no-see-ums and understand how disruptive they can be. Unfortunately, they can be more prevalent after storms, but we’re grateful you shared this information to help future guests better prepare. We’d love to welcome you back once the island is fully recovered, and we truly hope you’ll consider returning in the future.
