The property was as promised. The condo was immaculate and the view was absolutely stunning. We got to the island a little earlier than anticipated and called to see if we could by chance check-in early which was no problem! We will definitely stay there again.

Hi Nita,
Thank you for the 5 star review. We are happy to hear had a great visit! We look forward to seeing you again in the future.
This property exceeded our expectations
It was immaculately maintained
The communication with the property manager was great, they were super responsive. The location is amazing, walk out the lanai and your backyard is the beach and your neighbors are gopher tortoises. You can see the sunrise and sunset from the beach or from your lanai.
Would DEFINITELY a stay here again!

Sanibel Directly On the Ocean
Amazing condo that is directly on the beach. I could literally throw a football from the porch to the ocean. The main living space and bathrooms were very tastefully decorated, but the bedrooms need to be brightened up. The tennis courts and upper deck were a nice bonus. This condo is in an amazing location on an amazing island. I would definitely stay here again someday

Thank you very much for the great review! We are happy you enjoyed your stay and loved the unit. We hope to see you again soon!!
This is our 2nd summer at sandy bend. We love the ground floor units because you have unbeatable access to the beach.
The beach is quiet, only a few steps away, very easy to go and come back many times (a must if you are traveling with littles). We went in the mornings and left our umbrellas and chairs out all day, picked them up just once in the evening which made things very convenient.
The pool is always empty so our kids could splash around daily without disturbing anyone.
This unit is remodeled and very clean. Furniture could be upgraded a bit. The 2 smaller beds in the master bedroom were a bit of a disappointment, you would expect a king size for this type of apartment. Yes, they were shown in the pictures so we were aware, it’s just that they were smaller than we thought. Also the TV in the master bedroom was tiny (not bigger than a laptop screen).
Kitchen was well stocked with utensils and cookware etc.
A suggestion: not enough hooks to hang wet towels to dry, and you have plenty of those daily (shower and beach).
All in all, we loved our stay. But small changes can make this place a much better one especially for the price one pays. Keep in mind. You are paying for the location, which is priceless.
I wanted a condo close to beach. I didn’t want to drag thinks to beach for a long ways. And this was advertised as steps and truly it was. How nice to walk out patio door and a few steps we were at beach. Very quiet and peaceful. Clean and well maintained. My family would go back I made a good choice to stay there
This property was perfect. Extremely clean, updated kitchen and bathroom areas, beds were very comfortable and you couldn’t be any closer to the beach and the water. We had a fantastic time and hope to return some day!
First, the communication with the property management company was top notch. Any questions we had were answered super quickly. There is also an easy, safe, contactless check in. When you walk in to this property the view is amazing. One of this properties’ greatest assets is being able to walk out of the lanai directly onto the sand. And you are literally steps from the ocean!! We had everything we needed in the condo and truly enjoyed our stay. This little complex is amazing. Great location, great view, highly recommend!
If you are looking for a hidden gem directly on the beach, this is the place to stay! When you walk out the door, you are greeted with sand and surf! This is what my family and I needed after taking a pause with vacationing for over a year!
We enjoyed our visit to Sanibel Island and our stay at Sandy Bend. Sandy Bend was a perfect choice for us because it was a smaller complex located close to the water. Our condo was spacious and stocked with everything we needed.
This is an amazing place to stay on Sanibel Island. You can spend all day in the screened in porch watching the ocean. It’s easy to walk 50 yards and hop in the ocean or watch the sunset. The place is impressively clean and really pretty as well with modern design. The only thing I would recommend are some light blocking curtains in the bedrooms.

Amazing beach locations just steps from the screen porch. Clean and well cared for.
We loved our stay here. Access to the beach was right out the back door. Great communication with the management team. Clean and modern. Great location on the island. We plan on coming back.

Perfect in every way!
The condo was beautifully updated, comfortable and immaculately clean. The beds were comfortable with nice linens. The kitchen (although we didn’t do any cooking) was well stocked, large and very functional. This center, ground-floor unit had windows which opened on three sides of the lanai. It was a beautiful view and breeze. You could hear the waves from the Gulf throughout the condo. Since this was the beginning of the low season, it was blissfully peaceful with hardly anyone else around. We had a really easy, relaxing time. We highly recommend this idyllic setting and modern, tastefully decorated condo.
