The host-Nancy was amazing to communicate with. The property allowed me to bring my two labs and there was a yard for them to play. Super close to the beach, had a tennis court in front and loved that there was a water area that allowed us all to wash the sand off so we didn’t carry it upstairs with us.
The location is fabulous— a short stroll to the beach, where shelling was superb!! Sitting in traffic on Sanibel can be tedious so it’s nice that Sandals and Flip Flops is so close to the bridge. The home is a quaint beach house decorated with seashore vibes— perfect for a relaxing island vacation! It’s a short walk to a terrific restaurant at a resort next door for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Preparing meals in the beach house was easy as well. We will be happy to stay here again on future trips to Sanibel Island.
The unit is upstairs and we couldn’t figure out how to operate the blinds, so it felt removed from the outside world. The screened in porch/entry on the main level was nice. Cute interior and good quality overall. Bring your own shampoo/conditioner and coffee maker is for k-cups (none provided). I wished I had an eye mask in the main bedroom because of street lights, but I would stay there again. Beach towels were provided.
This unit was ideal, spacious, comfortable, and just a quick walk to the wonderful Sanibel beaches with a wonderful selection of shells for thepicking.
While a little dated, the accommodations were clean and cheerful. Great and quiet location. Manager was great, screened porch was pleasant. I would stay here again.
The apartment was decorated in a lovely beach motif and was perfectly clean. Nancy was very helpful with directions and even came to help us when i couldn't figure out how to turn on the A/C (I had the wrong remote). I recommend it highly.
My wife and I left this property after just 17 hours because of the following serious issues:
-Full Recycle bin right at entrance to unit!
-Musty smelling stairs
-Overwhelming disinfectant stench upon arrival and it lingered for hours
-Visible mold spores on kitchen air vent
- Visible mold spores on bathroom window frame
-Red ants swarm on living room end table
-Master bedroom rug is curled and liable for tripping
-All living room, kitchen and bedroom windows blinds have been disabled so that they cannot be adjusted
-Must bend over just to look out the living room, bedrooms windows!
-Neighbor’s window in our unit’s lanai! No privacy!
-No listing mention of this unit being the attic!
-No listing mention of stepdown in each bedroom
-Listing claims there is a bath tub. No bath tub just a shower with the shower head too tall for short people like my wife!
-Stained ironing board
-Holes, paint issues in living room and kitchen walls
-Pillows stink!
-Master bedroom bed is lumpy
Owner accused us of making too much noise in the unit when we did not even check in yet!
Had to ask owner for check-in procedure four times before we received an acceptable response!
Overall, not only is this property unacceptable, but to pay $370.833 per night is an outrage.
We reluctantly stayed the night of 8/14 because we had no where else to go. Left early the next morning- could not stand another night in this hell hole.
Took pictures for proof.
Would be happy to share them with any interested party.

This review reveals more about our guest than our suite. We are committed to making our guests stay the very best, and only once before have I encountered a guest that was nasty. This "hell hole" has a completely remodeled kitchen with granite countertops, new appliances, the bathroom has been gutted and remodeled, the unit is on the 2nd floor, which is a full second floor (ask the tax collector) with 5 foot knee walls in 2 of the rooms and not in walking areas. We adhere to CDC Cleaning Standards and use disinfectant to clean all surfaces, and although we spray afterwards with fabreeze, the disinfectant smell might still have lingered. For our guests connivence, a small recycling bin is on the ground by the front steps, tucked in a clearing by the shrubs, and is emptied between each guest. The mattress is brand new, as are the rugs in the unit. All the towels and linens are new. We honestly try to anticipate what our guests may need and are very accommodating.
Directions and access codes are provided the morning of check in. I inadvertently emailed this guest the day before thinking I was emailing a current guest and then apologized when I realized my mistake. I am always courteous and accommodating. This guest destroyed property, left garbage in the kitchen, dirty dishes, towels thrown on the floor and wet towels left on the sofa. Then was nasty and demanded a full refund.
I hope you take his criticism with a grain of salt. Most of my guests love our Beach House.
Amazing location, just a couple minute walk to the beach. Nice Beach chairs and towels provided. Comfortable beds. Soft sheets, fluffy towels. updated kitchen with stainless steel appliances, beautiful stone countertops. Updated bath. Nice hardwood floors throughout. Close to many restaurants. Owner was very attentive to questions. Would definitely stay again.
The host was excellent. Quickly answered any questions. Clean comfortable unit. Close to stores and very close to beach. Pet friendly, our dogs had a great time.
We had a great time. Very nice to get away and the private beach was perfect place to unwind. Watching sunsets and relaxing was just the ticket we needed to recharge the batteries so to speak.
Just a quick note that we were told we were staying in 301, stating it was the last lanai. This was incorrect. It was the second lanai of three lanai's in total. Also it was a bit confusing on how to open those fancy coded door locks but one of the tenet's showed us.
It might be prudent to explain how those work on the message to the tenants before they arrive.
We really enjoyed it. It was bigger than we thought. It was just 2 of us and our dog. Very comfortable inside and neat. The location is ideal, just a short walk to the beach and a short drive to many of the restaurants. We will be returning
It was just what my daughter and I needed, with our little dogs, very comfortable. Great short walk to the beautiful beach. Walked beach several times a day with dogs. Everyone was so nice. Thanks
Loved the property, loved the location and loved the beach wildlife! Well-appointed beach cottage~perfect for anyone’s beach vacation. We highly recommend this property & hope to have the pleasure of staying there again!
