This was our first stay on Sanibel, and though the island was beautiful and tranquil, the beach was not that great. The water was constantly murky, and several dead sea creatures had washed on shore. According to locals, the water is always murky there. The condo complex was on the beach but several things such as sliding glass doors and beach umbrellas were broken. At night there was a lot of noise/music/dogs barking. Our balcony overlooked a pond in the courtyard that constantly smelled like sewage. The staff was friendly and it was great to be able to have our groceries delivered to the condo right before we arrived. Unfortunately, we will not be staying here again.
