As you can tell, our favorite part of our stay here was the location of the apartment. The view to the Gulf was an enduring delight, and it was sublime to be able to hit the beach within 5 minutes. Sleeping to the sound of the surf is one of the main reasons we go the Sanibel. The 3rd floor corner location made this unit superior to other Sanibel condos we have rented. We liked everything about the Sand Pointe development- gorgeous lagoon, great pool, clean and quiet. The condo itself is spacious and clean, with lots of convenient storage space and open counters. We also really appreciated the beach towels and the ease of doing laundry.
We did find the management company to be a bit challenging- they require a payment by check, which led to some initial confusion, since it appeared that this might void the VRBO warranty. (Turns out it does not, so all was well.) Also, they do not return the security deposit for 4-5 weeks after you depart. But they do start you off with soap and paper goods and let you know the quantity, which was very helpful. In order to make the condo a match for its amazing location, we would also recommend an investment in some new pillows and a washable filter for the coffee pot.
But these are small things, and we would stay here again in a heartbeat.
