Being on the west side of the island, you will have private access to the beach area to take in the breathtaking sunsets and have fun on the beach.
The property is nestled among stately palm trees, and has a heated swimming pool and BBQ grills. Island activities include fishing, swimming. shelling and surfing. Sanibel Island offers bike paths, a wildlife refuge, golf and tennis clubs, and dining and shopping at wonderful stores and restaurants. Being an end unit, 103 has extra windows allowing lots of extra sunlight!
Our unique location on Sanibel Island allows you to watch the sunset from the beach, a perfect ending to a fun filled day and the start of a great evening.
Unit 103 is a 1st floor end unit up one flight of stairs with elevator access at either end of the open air hallway. It is located 100 yards from the beach and has a fully screened lanai with views of the beach. One parking spot included with rental.
We also own a single family house we rent by the month.

We were very pleased with our stay for 6 nights in March. The condo was lovely, very clean and lacked for nothing. It was a short walk to the beach and the view from the condo was very nice. We could not have asked for a better stay.

Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re delighted to hear you had such a wonderful stay with us. It means a lot to us that you enjoyed your experience, and we truly hope to welcome you back again soon for another memorable visit!
The newly remodeled condo was nicely appointed. Kitchen had everything you could need. Beds were very comfortable, too. The view was beautiful. Great view of the sunsets right from the balcony. Shelling was great. Kristine was very responsive to our needs. I would definitely rent this place again.
Beautiful views of the Gulf and right on the beach. The condo was very clean and tastefully decorated. We all enjoyed a full week of rest and relaxation.

Thank you for taking the write a review for us:). Thank for staying with us!
Gorgeous ocean front unit! Had absolutely all the amenities to make a for a great trip! The location was perfect, the space was plentiful, and the ocean view from the master bedroom and the lanai were incredible! There is still quite a bit of construction around the building and area, but sanibel looks like it’s coming back alive. Our host, Kristine, was extremely responsive to any questions we had! We will absolutely stay here again! You will not regret staying here, we will be back!

This unit is beautifully renovated with immaculate design and everything our family needed for a week-long vacation. I’m still dreaming about the primary bath shower! My kids loved the puzzles, games, and picture books. It was special being so close to the gulf and the sunsets were beautiful. The communication from the host was prompt and helpful. The location is great to bike to dining and shopping. The property is currently under considerable construction. There were times during our stay where we couldn’t park near the building due to construction and when the water in our unit was turned off. The noise of the construction woke us up as early as 7 am which is understandable but a bit of a bummer while on vacation. The pool and elevator were under construction during our stay. Aside from the noise and dust, it was a great place to stay! I look forward to returning to Sanibel someday!

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review. We’re so glad you and your family enjoyed the condo, especially the primary bath, and had a chance to take in the beach and beautiful sunsets.
We truly appreciate your understanding with the ongoing construction. Even with the advance notice, we know the unexpected driveway work was an inconvenience, and we’re glad we could provide a small refund for that disruption.
We’d love to host you again once everything is complete so you can fully enjoy all the amenities.
Wishing you all the best and hoping to welcome you back to Sanibel in the future.
My kids and I stayed at this condo. Everyone loved the feeling of home away from home. We loved the ease to get to beach and town. Everyone felt very safe staying here. The views are amazing and the vibe is relaxing. Just what we were looking for!

Thank you Karen:). I so glad you enjoyed your stay. Please come back and stay again!
We loved the condo. A great location with quick easy access to the beach as well as close to restaurants, shopping, etc. The beach was never overcrowded - enjoyed taking walks and shelling. We really liked the beach closet which was fully stocked with gear for the beach - chairs, umbrellas, coolers, boogie boards etc - anything you might need! This was our first trip to Sanibel and we will be returning and would definitely stay here again.

Kelly, I'm so glad you had a wonderful time! Please do come and stay with us again.
Great location in a quiet 9-unit building on the beach with a nice building pool. We appreciated the beautiful view overlooking the garden and ocean. We enjoyed our meals on the screened-in lanai and appreciated the light-filled corner unit. Well-stocked condo made it an easy family beach destination.

Glad you enjoyed your stay:). Come stay with again!
The room was very nice and clean. I gave cleanliness 3 stars not due to the room, but the outside where a common trash can was overflowing for days and I thought the locker area could have been hosed down or swept of sand.
When this says steps from the beach it means mere STEPS! So close and perfect for our two kids under 5. Everything you need in the closet for beach toys, kites, towels, chairs, umbrella, pack n play; this is a one stop shop. We will definitely be staying here again!! Also super close to tons of restaurants which we biked to every day!
This property was amazing! Close to the water, perfect for shopping, eating, sightseeing. Can't imagine anyplace could have been better. The condo was recently beautifully completed after the hurricane hits and a fantastic job was done! The owner was tiptop on communication and helpfulness (even though we had to bother her a couple of times) Always understanding and helpful! I would recommend this place over and over again and hope we get a chance to return. One of the best if not THE BEST!!!

I can't say enough good things about this condo right on a beautiful beach. My family had a wonderful time and loved everything about the condo. It was big enough for us to spread out and had every thing we could possibly need, right down to the laundry detergent, soap, towels and a special welcome gift. We definitely recommend renting this property and we can't wait to come back. Thank you for sharing your place with us!

Everything about the Condo was great
Kitchen clean and well stocked to cook and dine in!! Location was the best!! Few steps to the Beach! Very quiet area! Only like 9 privately owned Condo’s! Well stocked for Towels-Beach chairs-etc! Great tennis court & pool also! We hated to leave! Thanks Kristine for letting us share your Condo!!!
This is by far the BEST condo we've stayed in during our years of summer vacations in Florida. There was nothing we wanted that wasn't in the unit -- everything from luxurious beds to fully-stocked kitchen. The storage unit was loaded with beach gear as well -- sun umbrellas, chairs, tube float, and noodles. We had a wonderful time and will definitely be back again.

The condo was well maintained with beautiful gulf views and easy access to the beach. There was plenty of space on the beach with families every 10 yards or farther and most times we were the only people at the pool. The condo was also well equipped with everything that we needed for the stay, such as paper towels, toilet paper, soap, dishwasher and laundry soap, spices for cooking, beach gear, nightlights in all rooms and even a travel crib for our baby. The keyless entry and checkin made it very convenient. The host was very responsive to questions. Overall, we loved it there and would return.

I’m so glad you had an enjoyable stay. We strive to make everyone’s stay as enjoyable as possible. Thank you for the nice review!
We stayed 7 nights, family of 4 with 2 teens. The condo is spacious, great location with short walk to the beach. The kitchen was very well stocked for cooking, the coffee maker could have been better, but there are 2, one keurig and a coffee maker. Beds were comfortable. There is beach gear outside, such as chairs and umbrella. We rented bikes for the week and were able to ride to different places to eat, shop. Pretty centrally located. The bike trails are great, but it is very hot. The beach was great and so relaxing. No issues with booking this condo and I even had to change the dates. Thanks for a great week.
Everything was perfect and exceeded expectations! Gulf view amazing! We ended up flying in instead of driving and condo had it all! Everything for beach days including umbrella and foldable wagon and coolers enough for drinks and sandwiches. Shelling amazing! Pool was perfect for early morning and evening. We swam in gulf during the day. Easy access to everything and traditions next door is pricey but amazing food, drink, and entertainment. Super clean, well stocked. If you don’t book here you are truly missing out! Flawless check in as well. We will definitely book again if we can find availability this one is a gem! Owner checked in with us via message day after arrival and we were so pleased with her hospitality!
