My friend and I stayed 3 days to extend our trip to Sanibel in March. The accommodations were perfect for two people. Everything was very clean and well appointed. We enjoyed the pool and the property was beautifully landscaped. Nice quiet place to stay, close to beach and east end shops. My only complaint was that the livingroom furniture was not comfortable (couch) for tv watching at night. TV was on a moveable cart, which was kind of weird, but it worked! I would definitely stay again.

Very tropical vibe which we liked.
Location, amenities, ample supplies, and everything was newly rebuilt or remodeled. Very tropical vibe which we liked. Also enjoyed the pool.
Heat worked but AC did not. Room got a bit warm in the evenings so we had to keep the back patio door open and turn off the mini splits. We are from MN so we are used to 68-70 degrees inside.
