I highly recommend this property to families. The spa and pool were great, and the balcony offered a stunning view of the ocean. I even called the emergency number around 11pm for a problem with the air conditioning, and Sal, the maintenance guy, promptly fixed it. The condo is very quiet and well-maintained."

"This was a fantastic "dream holiday". The hotel and location were superb, and the car hire and flights all worked out well. Finding a place to stay on Sanibel has been an ambition since we first visited the island as day trippers many years ago. However finding somewhere to stay from here in the UK is not easy as this is not a resort covered by "normal" UK travel agents and tour operators. Expedia gave us the shop window through which to research the options, and with a little help from Google...

10/10 Excellent
"This was our first trip to Sanibel Island and and it did not disappoint! The rooms were clean. We had easy access to the beach, 2 minutes walk, the beach chairs were already on the beach and waiting. Everyone was so accommodating and friendly. It was such a relaxing atmosphere. The Tiki bar was amazing! Our bartender made us an old fashion and a strawberry daiquiri that was spot on. The on sight restaurant was fantastic. The burgers were delicious, but the fish and chips were good as well. Our breakfast was egg, ham and cheese bagel with a carmel and a mocha frappe... in one word it was delicious! The shelling was so much fun and was not a disappointment. We certainly will be returning!!"
