Our unit seemed almost brand new and was clean, well appointed , comfortable and convenient to everything we always love about Sanibel Island. Bike path, beach, restaurant, ice cream and more were within walking distance. Staff was present and helpful but never in your face. Hurricane Ian was cruel in 2022 and all but destroyed the place but it also let the facility get completely re-invented. Pool seemed small but pretty. We prefer the nearby uncrowded and lovely beach we could easily walk to. We will be back.
Lovely room; great location close to the beach. Rooms were freshly renovated and quiet. The management was available and very friendly.
