Quiet, East End Location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Shel Island 5D provided a great vacation condo for my family of 5. You can't beat the east end location and the pool at Shell Island is one of the best around. The beds were comfortable. If you're a foodie like me and enjoy cooking, the kitchen is likely to disappoint. While it was satisfactory, the knives were all dull and the layout was clumsy with a small food prep area and a poorly located garbage can. Also, the door to the laundry area was difficult to open and close, while several of the lights in the master did not work properly. Overall, we enjoyed our stay since we were really there for the weather, the pool, and the beach.

Needs TLC

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Check in and out were both very easy. The property although pretty and decorated nicely is definately worn. Couch is sagging and the furniture was dirty. Caulking was missing in the shower, and there were razor covers left in the shower. My husband had to get a screw driver and reattach the kitchen cabinet doors. The towels all had to be rewashed because they were damp and mildew smelling.The property needs some tender loving care. It is a beautiful location with a beautiful view.

Great location!

We loved this condo. Not only does the whole complex have a great location on Sanibel, we think this is one of the best units on the property. Awesome view and convenient walk to the beach and the pool. One of the closest buildings to the ocean, so you’re not staring at other buildings. We would love to stay here again!

Beautiful oceanfront view

We enjoyed staying on this property. The view was beautiful.The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed for cooking meals.The master shower was very spacious. The master bed was very comfy.The hall bathroom ceiling vent was dusty & needed to be cleaned. We enjoyed the convenience of the ice, beach chairs & bikes that were provided. The unit did not have an elevator but we survived.

Terrific location.

Extremely well located, with proximity to pool, beach and amenities. Unit appears to be heavily used (not surprising given the quality of location and views), might well benefit from some light upgrades in the near future.

Relaxing spot on Sanibel

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our family of four has stayed before at Shell Island Beach Club. We like the east island location near the lighthouse. Condo has nice views of the sea and it's a wonderful place to relax. We have gone end of August or labor day time so I can't speak for the high season, but at this time it's very HOT and nice thunderstorms in the evening. We vacation all over the world and there's something peaceful about Sanibel. The shells, turtles, many shorebirds, low rise buildings, that keep it on my list of favorites.

Perfect first time vacation at Shell Island Beach Club

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a fabulous stay at Shell Island Beach Club, mainly due to the amazing condo, it was beautiful. The panoramic view was superb- beautiful at any time of the day or evening no matter what the weather. The condo was beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean, everything was to a high standard even the beach chairs that were provided. The location was very near to the pool and beach and there were bbq grills available for guests to use. The only slight downside is the lack of an elevator and with the apartment being on the top floor, if you had mobility difficulties this would be a challenge, particularly if you had luggage to carry up the stairs. It was fine for us and would not put us off staying again but it is worth noting - the lack of elevator was made clear at time of booking. All in all I would say that this is a perfect holiday rental and well managed by Select Vacation Rentals - Nadia was particularly helpful.

Shell Island 5D

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This condo is lovely. We definitely recommend it. Select Vacation Properties is very professional and provide excellent service. This is our 4th year at Shell Island, but our first year in 5D. We plan to return again next year. Just a few items need upgrading such as bathroom and kitchen towels, kitchen knives, the coffee pots, and bed sheets. The ceiling fans all need to be serviced, as they make a lot of noise when they are set on the faster speeds. The door to the commode area of the master bath needs repair - it doesn't close, and the vent fan in the commode area doesn't work. The washer and dryer work great. These are minor things that we understand can lose quality over the busy rental season; however, they're the little things that make a week-long stay much more enjoyable for the cost of the rental. We love the location of the rental property. The view of the ocean is fabulous. An elevator would be helpful, especially for more elderly vacationers. Getting luggage and groceries up 3 flights of stairs is difficult. We highly recommend Doc Ford's for lunch or dinner. Traders is a wonderful place for dinner, as well. Cip's is fabulous, although we didn't make it there this year, opting instead for Traditions. The food here was excellent. On the Friday night we were there, they had a piano player and a sax player playing light "elevator" music. It took us back to the vacation resorts of the 50's and 60's, but don't let that worry you. It was a very enjoyable evening even for our 19 year old daughter.

Perfect home away from home

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Beautiful condo. Amazing views from King suite and living area including living room, dining area and kitchen. Great screened in balcony. Condo had everything we needed. To get these amazing views you are on the top floor so you do need to walk up a couple flights of steps but for us it wasn't a big deal. The rental company was very easy to work with.

Beautiful Condo

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Remodeled and well done. Pretty colors and the closest to the boardwalk coming back from the beach and to the pool. Equipped with beach chairs, a cooler, beach towels and an umbrella. So save weight in your suitcase if flying ;) The umbrella was broken however the beach was nice and windy so we were ok. The bed broke upon our arrival but the handyman came quickly to fix the issue. I believe this was mainly done by prior guest shoving suitcases underneath the bed repeatedly and breaking the foot joints. Fans can be changed or renewed, they were pretty loud. Dishes were put away dirty so we had cleaned them as we took them out to use them. Overall though-it was a nice stay.

Great location and lots of amenities

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Beautiful overlook of ocean on screen porch. The condo was very clean and fresh. The resort is very friendly and there are tons of bikes in every size to borrow. All kinds of tennis/pickle ball/ shuffle board equipment to check out and beach chairs and umbrellas you can check out for the week with a deposit.Couple of disappointments were- Despite the cleanliness of the condo, the screens and windows were quite dirty.The beach towels are few and thin. Nothing is left in the condo. Two packages of laundry detergent and 4 packs of dishwasher detergent. However, you’re only allowed to leave the maids two loads of laundry on checkout?? No spices just salt and pepper.
