Great location in Sanibel

Very clean, nicely decorated, roomy, comfortable bed and pillows, basic necessities, beach towels, beach chairs and collapsible beach wagon. Great location to Bowman’s Beach and the best shelling beaches. Would stay with them again.

Not able to go due to hurricane and property damage.. no refund or credit!

We were unable to use our rental because it suffered damage from the most recent hurricane. I reached out to the host, Breakaway Vacation properties, not to request a refund, but to ask for a credit to use at the same property once it was repaired: I was told that the rental company does not issue any credit based on the contract. We are now out over 1000.00 We were unable to take our vacation , and lost a lot of money. I understand that Sanibel island was devastated by the storm.. I was not expecting g s refund.. just little curtesy . I will book at hotels from now on where I k ow a refund is guaranteed due to severe weather events. I will never book through VRBO again .

Great property!

I love this cottage! Clean and plenty of room for 8 of us! there is onsite coin op laundry that was clean. A nice shell washing station is on site. there are plenty of bicycles for available for use as well as shelling equipment. The beach is just 3 min bike ride away. The neighborhood is quite and very clean. This is our second stay at this location and would love to stay there again!

To many things were wrong.

At first glance the property seemed good, then one thing after another went wrong. All the dishes and silverware were put away dirty. The oven didn’t work. A/c wasn’t cooling well. One in the bedroom would shut off randomly. No hot water in the second bathroom and ants in the first bathroom. I called the emergency line for the property manager and was told they would call for someone to come and fix the air, no one came the first night and I had to call again the next day for help. They sent maintenance and said the problem was resolved but it wasn’t. All in all a very disappointing stay.
