Our family of 4, including our 2 adult daughters, stayed together in this beautiful property on the top floor of Building E in Pointe Santo. We were so excited when we opened our unit door to see our condo was exactly as pictured and described on the website! The view of the Gulf of Mexico welcomed us immediately upon entering the freshly-cleaned and well-ordered space!! David and his wife have done a beautiful job of renovating and updating the unit in what is an older complex. Our living room, master bedroom, lanai and rooftop views directly out to the Gulf of Mexico were just magnificent! The large dining table allowed for family games every evening! And while we chose to eat every meal out, we did use the coffeemaker, the fridge and freezer, the dishware and silverware as well as one pan for reheating the ample leftovers.
As described, this unit comes complete with everything a couple or group needs, including cookware, dishes, a few tools, and containers of dishwashing and laundry detergents. The beach cart folds away inauspiciously in the kitchen and is definitely helpful for the multiple treks down to the beach. The portable vacuum stored right next to it was an added pleasure in keeping barefooted sand and small shells cleaned up. Ample bath and beach towels kept everyone clean and dry, and the in-unit stacked washer and dryer definitely saw its fair share of use (make note for next visit: pack far less!).
Pointe Santo is perfectly situated right in the center of Sanibel, making it easy to get to all nearby restaurants, shops, and tours and excursions. There are plenty of chaise lounges, which negated our use of our rented beach chairs (but we were also too busy swimming in the warm and wonderful Gulf, shelling in the water and on the shore and photographing the beautiful sunrises and sunsets and even the incoming storms!!)
We appreciated David's emailed packet of information and in-unit info sheets--they were detailed and comprehensive.
This one-week vacation was EXACTLY what we had hoped for, and we definitely plan to return to this unit the next time we head down to Sanibel! A big thank you to our hosts and staff!
