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).

The owner, John was very pleasant to work with. The condo, view, proximity to the beach and pool were wonderful.I would have given it a 5 star, however, there was a construction support beam blocking access from the nearest elevator to our room. This made loading and unloading difficult and added a lot more walking.

This is the perfect place to go if you want to be steps away from the beach! When we walked in it was clean and had everything stocked and ready to use. The beach is clean, full of shells, and quickly accessible. The host was wonderful with getting back to me quickly with answers to my questions. Everything on Sanibel is a quick drive or bike ride away from this condo! I’d highly suggest staying here!

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.
