Pointe Santo Newly Renovated Gulf View Ground Floor 2BR Condo

"Condo is very clean, and well stocked. Close to the pool and beach. Short drive to restaurants, grocery store and connivence stores. Wendy was available for any questions. I would highly recommend staying here for your next beach vacation."

LOGGERHEAD CAY 501🌴Direct Gulf Front🏖️Sanibel Escape🏝️ Queen & Twin in spare room

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic condo, first floor level. Cute beach decor and very clean. Well thought out and has every thing you need, including beach towels, cart and chairs. There was a side chair that was also a recliner, if you happen to need one for extra support.The hosts were responsive to questions we had. Great condo in a wonderful location. Seashells are plentiful right in front of the condo. You can also see sunrises and sunsets right from the condo. We will be back!"

The Anchor Inn

10/10 Excellent

"We had a queen room in the motel portion and loved it. 2 full bathrooms with a nice sized kitchen area and separate bedroom. The back view was of the pond, area well kept and pretty. The laundry facilities was great to have and plenty of bath and beach towels stocked there each morning. Plenty of beach chairs and umbrellas. Very quiet"

Gulf-Front: Dreamy Views, Renovated, Steps from Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely, lovely, lovely. 勺勺勺 So bright and clean and had literally everything you could think of! Well appointed kitchen with multiple coffee pots (regular and Keurig), air fryer, very nice appliances, although it could use more flatware and drinking glasses. There were fans for both bedrooms, a full length mirror (amazing how many places lack this feature), tons of towels, quality linens & comfy mattress. As for the beach - view is awesome and just steps away. There are beach chairs, noodles, cooler, and beach wagon and plenty of beach towels. We have been staying on Sanibel every year since 1994 and this is by-far the nicest unit we have ever stayed in. The grounds are well kept, attractive with a beach-side pool. You’ll find grills in multiple locations, shuffleboard and a great rinse station for feet, shower, and a sink for shells, fish or your small pet. This was a (5) star vacation."
