About this property

Within steps of the beach. Great views of the Ocean. A little piece of paradise.

Ocean's Reach is located in a fabulous private setting right on the Gulf of Mexico. Enjoy spectacular views from this beautiful direct gulf front one bedroom, one bathroom condo--only 50 feet from the beach. One of the best appointed one bedroom condos on Sanibel Island. Unit 2x2 boasts a totally new interior from floor to ceiling with many new furnishings, fixtures and accessories. With its king size master suite and queen size sleeper sofa, this tastefully-decorated condo easily accommodates two to four people.

Sanibel Island is known for great shelling, miles of trails for biking, and unobstructed beaches for walking. The shallow water allows for gentle swimming in the Gulf of Mexico, and the lush tropical vegetation adds to the experience of visiting the island. Enjoy casual island living in this friendly, small-town atmosphere. Strict zoning ensures limited commercial zones and no building is higher than four stories.

Come and enjoy a quiet, relaxing experience with great beaches, pools, restaurants, picnic areas and parks. Once you have experienced Sanibel Island there are few people that don't return. (Please note that rentals are from Saturday to Saturday unless a longer listing or a special agreement is made with the owner).

Wonderful 1 bedroom condo (sleeps 4) perfect for just the two of us. Beautifully decorated with unobstructed view of the ocean. Very well equipped with everything you need including beach items in the shed next to the parking space. The office staff was so friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend this condo at Ocean's Reach Resort!

The unit was beautifully decorated, incredibly clean, and was stocked with everything you could need! The owner was wonderful to work with. The only downside (which could not be helped) was the pool pump that ran constantly drowned out the sound of the ocean. But it would not deters me from staying there again

The unit was very nice with an awesome view. The property and amenities were amazing too!Only slight complaint was the noise from the filtration unit at the pool. It made sitting on the lanai less enjoyable. I would still recommend it however.

Beautiful Condo in a Perfect Location

This beautiful condo was perfect for our trip to Sanibel. It was very clean and comfortable and directly on the best beach in Sanibel. Very close to all of our favorite restaurants in a quiet location. I highly recommend this condo and the lovely owners for your get away to the island!

Oceansreach was a great little resort directly on the beach. All the units face toward the beach, which was amazing. It has a great location on the island which made it very easy to bike to our favorite shops and eateries. The pool was heated, which was wonderful since we went the first couple weeks of December. The island is really coming back and there are lots of shops and restaurants open. The management company at the front office were friendly and helpful and we were able to rent bikes on site. Our room had a fabulous view of the ocean overlooking the pool and was nicely decorated. We had a fabulous time!

Just a lovely location! We spent every morning on the beach gathering shells - it's right out the back door. The location was a double-edged sword, however - right over the pool, so relaxation was pretty elusive when lots of kids were in the pool, but the lanai is lovely. The location is great - easy to everything, like food/shopping/activities. We appreciated the chairs and beach umbrella that we were able to use from the owner's storage closet - that made our sunset watching so easy.A couple of warnings: the bathroom sink drained extremely slowly but we told the management office about it, so we believe it won't be an ongoing issue. We also discovered that the washing machine was unable(?) to use cold water. I tried every setting but it ended up washing in hot water every time. That could be problematic with some fabrics... I wasn't very happy about that. The kitchen is extremely small - only 1 person at a time, but we managed. Finally, the bed was pretty soft, which wasn't to our liking, but could be fine for others.

A heavenly get away!!

The condo was perfectly suited for me. The decoration and furnishings were so relaxing and beach related. I loved how close I was to the beach, and how I could look out of my living room and see the beach and the pool. I would definitely recommend and go here again. The owner and management were very helpful although I really didn’t have any problems or concerns I needed to go to them with, just a couple minor things that they got right on. I was surprised by all the extras that were available in the storage unit and the condo to make your stay most enjoyable. I definitely plan on going back.

Great Stay!!

We stayed in this unit June 13-20, 2020. Property is as advertised- clean, beautiful and excellent safe location. Communication with the owner of this unit was responsive, kind, welcoming, like talking to an old friend. Staff at Oceans Reach very friendly and helpful, great customer service when we interacted with them(renting bikes, umbrella, extra dish soap for the unit). Pool, "The Grove" beautiful, well kept, all equipment working. Staff going around before 730 am daily spraying/sanitizing pool area. Oceans Reach is at the end of a paved road, running off of Casa Ybel Rd., so its very quiet, serene, yet very accessible to shopping/restaurants. Restaurants and shops that we visited were open, only 1 business asked for patrons to wear masks, we did so. Restaurants we went to(Cips, Doc Fords, George and Wendy's, Joey's Custard, Lighthouse Cafe) did a great job sanitizing/cleaning between patrons. We so hated to leave, we have found our new, favorite vacation spot. Thank you, John, and the Staff at Oceans Reach for your kindness and excellent, welcoming customer service. Wishing all of you the best and hope to stay again sometime in the future. Randy, Ball Ground, GA..

Wonderful slice of Paradise

The entire experience with booking to checking out was so easy. Every staff member was friendly and helpful. The condo was very comfortable and the pictures don’t do the view justice! Seeing it in person is just breathtaking! The property has many amenities and was VERY well maintained. The pool was surprisingly quiet and while swimming in it, all of the other guests were very respectful toward on another. Everything was as shown and advertised. We loved the parking carport area, very nice, it kept the car cool for when you jumped in to explore the island. The very short walk to the beach for my husband who has mobility issues was perfect. Short walk, even terrain on down to the beach which was especially nice for him. Evaluators worked and were a good size and clean. Can’t say but wonderful things! We would highly recommend and would love to return.
