Shalimar Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful place! Would definitely stay again."

Newly Reopened Luxury Sanibel Island 2-bedroom condo! Steps to the Beach!

10/10 Excellent

"Gorgeous unit with everything you could possibly need. We stayed 4 nights with our kids (12, 12, 16) for 4th of July and everyone loved it. We would 100% stay here next time if it’s available. We saw dolphins, stingrays, fish, sand dollars, and a starfish at the beach. The sunsets were to die for!"

Welcoming 2-bedroom 2-bathroom condo in a secluded section of Sanibel Island

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay at Blind Pass Condo A206! The condo was spotless, beautifully maintained, and had everything we needed for a comfortable vacation. The kitchen was exceptionally well equipped, making it easy to prepare meals, and we really appreciated all the beach gear provided—chairs, umbrellas, coolers, toys, and more.The location is fantastic. It’s just a short, peaceful walk to beautiful Bowman’s Beach through the scenic nature path, and we loved seeing birds and other wildlife along the way. The pool is only a few steps away, and the entire community is quiet, relaxing, and beautifully landscaped.The beds were comfortable, the air conditioning worked perfectly, and the condo had everything exactly as described.Communication with the host was excellent from start to finish—friendly, responsive, and very helpful whenever we had a question.We truly felt at home here and would happily stay again. Highly recommend this condo to anyone looking for a peaceful, well-equipped place to enjoy Sanibel!"

Amazing Beachside Retreat - Sayana

10/10 Excellent

"What an amazing find! Ill be honest, the construction in the area had us a little concerned, but the moment we stepped inside the unit, all I can say is our worries vanished immediately! The place was very clean and well stocked! The view!! Man, I could write about the location for days . The beach was so clean and private! Only a couple other families as far as the eye could see. The water was clean, calm, and full of shells!! Amazing. Simply put. Local eats at Mudbugs was one of our favorite! Ate there twice! And surprisingly the Mexican restaurant off Rabbit Road, the food is outstanding! Bravo Can I come back now "
