Fabulous location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. 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: This property is right on the gorgeous beach! This location was perfect for our family! This stretch of beach is not too close to the public access, so we really felt like we had our own private beach! The property is well-maintained and clean, with numerous amenities. The management staff was helpful with suggestions for activities and the owner was always quick to reply to my inquiries via email. We had a great vacation at Villa Sanibel!

All about the location but....

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Nothing closer to gulf. Super location and lovely neighbors. Convenient distance from Baileys, etc. The unit itself needs significant maintenance. A/c wonky, plumbing (shower doesn’t drain, toilet not flushing), electrical switches breaking, apparent broken window patched with foil????

Sanibel October visit.

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: Our visit to Villa Sanibel 1A was our third. We enjoy unit 1A very much. Wonderful view everyday. We we're very happy that the red tide cleared up for our visit. Unfortunately we had to deal with construction noise on two neighboring unit, which distrubed our week of peace and quiet. Sunday as early as 7 am. Our parking place was occupied by construction vechicles each day. We made the best of it. It would have been nice to be offered a discount for our inconvenience.

Beautiful Beach but Dissatisfied with Condo

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 do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is our 3rd time staying in Villa Sanibel but the first time staying in this unit. This unit needs some work and updates. The kitchen has a lot of blemishes and doesn’t have the adequate cooking supplies. The sink in the kitchen had a constant drip under the cabinet. The washer machine had mold growing on the rubber inside lip. The beds and pillows were very uncomfortable. We are so thankful we brought our pillows from home. The tv in the master bedroom is on a small side table and we were so afraid it was going to fall on top of our son. Overall we had a great week being able to just walk out onto the beach.

Regular at Villa Sanibel

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: We love Villa Sanibel and Sanibel Holiday. Never have had a bad experience. When provided with constructive feedback we feel heard. We notice that the little things we mentioned after last year’s vacation were updated for this stay. Had a couple of bugs to wrangle. A tiny lizard was discovered hiding out in the bathroom. I did manage to capture and release outside. We did not love this part of the vacation but understand that these things happen. If it had been a bigger lizard or scorpion I would have called for backup. Great accommodations. This time we noticed that the walls (master bath), slatted closet door for water heater, and vents could use a good vacuum or dusting. Still think a mattress topper for master bed would be great. Bed is hard and causes me back issues. I’ve been told the twin mattress is very comfortable.

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: Loved the location, comfortable bed, and enjoyed all the beach equipment. The living room chairs are in serious need of replacement. The cushions are worn out and very uncomfortable. For the price you pay for this condo, you should be able to sit down in the evening and be comfortable.

Wonderful family vacation place for families

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: We have rented 3 units here for 13 yrs. Rental agency very responsive to any problems that arise. This is not truly a review but things we found that need correction. The starter kit is very poor quality. Nothing lathered. The bathroom soap was the size of a quarter also didnt lather😭 had to go right to Baileys before we could do dishes . With the prices of all the units increasing this was very disappointing. Also a microwave was replaced but instead of the space saver kind , the new one sits on the counter top taking up what little food prep space there is. However the unit location cant be beat

Wonderful!!!!

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: An amazing getaway just steps from the beach! We have stayed at beaches all over the world and this one is by far the closest to the water. We poured a cup of coffee in the morning and just walked a few steps to drink it with ocean water on our feet. Villa is very comfortable, basically 2 master suites since both have bathrooms and can be closed off from each other and the main living area. It was very quiet, early risers never heard by those still sleeping. Beach is loaded with shells which was great fun but bring along water shoes if you have tender soles. Sanibel Holiday was also great, one of the best rental companies we have used. They were so friendly, prompt and accommodating. We go to Sanibel every year and this is our first time using them but will do so every time in the future. We will be back for sure!!!

Villa 1A. Sanibel. A place to rest, relax and remember

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: Our second visit here. Can't get any closer to the beach! Property as described. Only issue was no hot water- called management company and they promptly sent out a plumber. It was a flipped switch. Remedied in 5 mins. No-see-ums are ferocious after Irma. Would love to see that special screen material used on lower half of screens-limited our evenings outdoors.

Bliss on the Beach

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 thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Villa Sanibel.We wanted to be on the beach and this fulfilled that desire. It is very comfortable. The king bed was comfy; better pillows would be nice. The bathrooms are are nice. The kitchen is great, nicely redone. All items for basic cooking and dining are provided. The washer and dryer is new and great. The furniture is not fancy, but it's clean and "beachy". We loved the screened porch and spent much time out there. The furniture out there is very uncomfortable , but we made it work to be by the water. There are beach chairs and beach towels, sand toys, etc. If you don't need super fancy, it's really a great place.

Can,t get any closer to the sand than this.

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: This was our 8th year renting 4 units. It's our family reunion every year. Villa Sanibel is quiet , not a lot of units and therefore uncrowned at the pool and beach. Very relaxing with a very responsive rental agent in case of a maintenance issue (7 minutes). Just a few feet to the beach no carrying equipment for a quarter mile. You are right on the sand.
