Amazing, relaxing, we want to go back like yesterday

This condo was in a great location. My family loves to bounce back and forth from the beach to the pool. We spent our mornings and afternoons at the beach which was a very short easy walk from our walk out patio to our late afternoons till evening at the pool. The condo had everything we needed for our stay. The kitchen was well stocked. It was super clean. My only suggestion would be, that it is time to upgrade the sofa and chair in the living room. Its fine to sit on for a few moments. We could not get comfortable on it in the evenings to set down and watch a family movie.

Good Location

The condo is close to the beach and the location is east to get around the island to places. The inside could use an update.

Great location

This property is so conveniently located in Sanibel. We could walk to get coffee, groceries, lunch, etc or bike anywhere in Sanibel. It is just steps to the beach which was great with kids and to avoid parking at busy beaches. The condo was nice and we loved the lower level walk out. The beds in this particular unit were SO uncomfortable and really need to be changed. The condo itself could use some amor updating, deep cleaning, and upgrade on the amenities. It says it offers beach chairs, umbrella, beach toys, etc. They were available, but not in good shape at all, umbrella was broken and chairs were rusty and coolers, moldy, etc. It didn't ruin the trip by any means, but would have been helpful to have better amenities that are listed. We had an issue with the agitator on the wash machine also, it got off balance every load we did, so had to do a second spin each time. We would stay on this building again, but likely not this unit.
