Love Sanibel

I love the Sundial location and have stayed here many times. This condo is spacious and has the storage downstairs with beach items and the parking spot which is great. The condo was pretty dirty when we got there and most of the pots/pans and dishes had stuck on old food on them. If they could do something about the wifi (crazy slow- we had to go to a local business with free wifi to actually use the internet) and gave this place a good scrubbing, it could be nice.
Stayed 14 nights in Jul 2019
Response from VrboOwner on 17 March 2020
Dear Clint, Thank you for your review; and for choosing Sundial Q401 as your home away from home for your 2 week Sanibel stay. I have forwarded your comments to the private housekeeper for the condo - I am shocked (and disappointed) that the condo was not up to snuff in regards to cleaning. We have enjoyed a 24 year relationship with the owners of this condo, and it is extremely rare that we receive a report that the housekeeping was sub-par. Rest assured, we'll be sure to "inspect what we expect" so that this does not happen again. I can only apologize that your vacation wasn't the absolute best that it could be. Had we been made aware of these 2 very important issues, we would have addressed it straight away. We send an email at check-in that specifically asks that should you find any housekeeping or maintenance issues, that they be reported immediately so that they can be addressed. I am concerned that you would choose to stay for 2 weeks and not call us to at least report how you found the condo, email or not. We would have sent the housekeeper back immediately; and, we would have provided a complimentary maid service halfway through your stay. We have no record of a phone call or email from you regarding the cleanliness of the condo or the performance of the wifi. Likewise, the internet service is 50mbps at the condo, which is more than adequate for streaming programming, etc. BUT, when wifi is slow (which usually happens after a power fluctuation or outage), we place a call to Xfinity and have a refresh signal pushed through to the unit modem, and that usually fixes it! :) Given that you only had 3 people in residence, this would not have been an issue of having too many devices connected to the network, which would definitely bring the wifi speed to a crawl. We have guests departing this morning (17 August), that arrived on your departure date, so we'll inquire with them about the internet, as well as the unit cleanliness. This is something that I always mention at check-in - to please check your wifi and cable settings once you get to the condo, that way we can address any issues right away. We appreciate that your vacation is an emotional as well as significant financial investment, and we would welcome the opportunity to make this right, should you choose to return to this condo, or another one of our properties. With Sunny Regards, Sharon and the Cottages to Castles Team

Nice Oceanfront on Sanibel

Located in the Sundial complex. The unit layout and furniture worked very well with two bedrooms and another space that can be closed off as a third bedroom, which would work well for kids/teens and even my adult son's gaming setup. Nice that they provided beach chairs and umbrellas. Beach view was better than expected given it is towards the back of the building, but it was good. Only withholding one star for slow WIFI. Otherwise, no reservations to rent it again.
Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2019
Response from VrboOwner on 17 March 2020
Dear Bruce, Thank you for taking the time to review Sundial Q401, and for providing thoughtful descriptions of what you enjoyed best. We are pleased that the layout worked for your family, and that the complimentary beach chairs allowed you to enjoy views of the gulf and run sand through your toes. We continue to search for a solution to the slow internet on the island. It is slow island-wide during the winter season, no matter the provider. Sundial's internet is provided by their condo association, and we have learned that bumping up the speed has no effect, since demand overwhelms the entire infrastructure (Century Link and Comcast are installing fiber optic line in a limited area to assist 911 emergency services and City Hall, because they cannot get reliable service during season, either). Oh, to go back to simpler times, with pay phones and pagers for messaging! :) We appreciate that your vacation is an investment, both financially and emotionally, and we thank you for choosing Cottages to Castles to assist you in your vacation planning. Thank you for supporting local businesses, and we look forward to the opportunity to work with you again, should you find yourself coming to this little corner of the world again.

Perfection in Sanibel!

This was our first time in Sanibel and we loved every second. This condo was perfect for our family of 8. The condo was clean and comfortable. It was steps away from the beach and had all of the amenities needed to make it our home away from home for the week. The pool was great as were the grounds-they were kept perfectly. We found the beds comfortable after long days of exploring Sanibel. There were plenty of bike racks for all of our bikes and the covered parking came in handy on numerous occasions. The elevator did break for the second part of the trip which wasn’t a big deal to us but was a little cumbersome for my parents. This unit had a locker with beach chairs and umbrellas and several beach toys my kids enjoyed using. We will definitely be back!

Response from VrboOwner on 17 March 2020
Dear Shannon, Thank you for your lovely review of Sundial Q401. You've summed up perfectly what so many guests love about the condominium and grounds. The elevator going out of service was certainly inconvenient, and we do apologize for that. The Association got to work on it and had it repaired with much help from the mainland elevator service company. We appreciate that your vacation is a financial and emotional investment, and we strive to exceed expectations. We hope that the memories you made will be fondly remembered as the years go by.

Great Location Near the Beach

First impression was that this building was constructed to withstand some serious high winds and heavy rainfall. And during the week Hurricane Elsa developed and gave us a taste of the impact from a Cat 1 hurricane but we felt totally safe and secure in our lodging as we watch the system pass through out in the Gulf of Mexico. We were a party of five, four adults and one youth, and had ample room to spread out and enjoy our stay. The kitchen wasn't huge but adequate for the few meals we actually prepared during our weeklong stay which were mostly breakfasts and a couple of suppers. Other than that, the island is filled with a variety of restaurants to meet almost any taste for good home cooked meals. The beach is a short walk from the condo; about the length of a football field but on a well maintained pathway. We had a great time and are already making plans to return to the same spot next year, if it is still available.
Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2021
Response from VrboOwner on 13 July 2021
Dear Paul, Thank you for choosing Sundial Q401 as your home away from home for your Sanibel vacation, and we are glad that Elsa brought just enough weather so as to deliver amazing sea shelling opportunities to the beach after she passed by, and yet not enough to warrant a voluntary or mandatory evacuation. We are glad you enjoyed your stay in the condo, and that it had everything you needed to self-cater a few meals. This condo was recently sold, and we are looking forward to the new owners planning a renovation with a lot of fantastic updates when they receive approval from the condominium association. Hopefully, by the time you plan your next visit, they'll be complete and you'll be able to enjoy a new-and-improved Q401! Again, many thanks for choosing Sundial Q401, and we look forward to hopefully helping you plan your next Sanibel family vacation. With Sunny Regards, Sharon and the Cottages to Castles Team

Beach week

We stay at Sundial every summer for our family reunion. We have 9 families that rent condos there to get together from several states. This condo was very clean and nicely furnished. We eat out most of the week so I’m not sure how well equipped the kitchen is for cooking big meals but it was very adequate for the amount of cooking that we did.

Plenty of towels, beach chairs, beds, pools, and more. We will rent this condo again and definitely recommend. We’ve been coming for many years and this unit was by far the best one we’ve stayed in. Thanks for having us!!! #MemoriesMade

Sensational Sanibel

We love Sundial East. Unit Q-401 is exactly as advertised online. Great view of the gulf. Conveniently located near the elevator. The storage unit had a beach cart, beach chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards and other small beach toys. It was wonderful to have a washer and dryer I. The unit. Our only issue was with the very slow WiFi connection. We would definitely book this location again.

Dear Michele, Thank you for taking the time to provide awesome feedback on your stay at Sundial Q401. We try very hard to connect the dots in advance of your arrival, as well as during your stay, so that you'll have a memorable vacation at your home away from home. The Sundial Q401 owners were delighted to have been approved for a washer/dryer installation, and we wasted no time in remodeling the condo to accommodate it. We provide complimentary detergent as well, so that when you do have to spend time catching up on laundry, that's one less expense to incur. I apologize for the slow wifi connection that you experienced during your stay. We recognize that not everyone is on vacation, and needs access to a reliable internet connection. In addition to the open-access wifi provided by the condo association, this owner opted to pay extra for their own, separate 50mbps service (the highest we can get on the island, unfortunately). With frequent summertime power outages, we sometimes have to call the internet provider from the unit phone and have a signal refresh pushed through so that you can enjoy "normal" connectivity and speeds, especially if you have a large family group. 8 people in residence can mean 8 - 16 devices - or more - drawing on the wifi bandwidth, which will definitely slow it down. :( Moving forward, we'll implement a call-in procedure to refresh wifi signals after a power outage. Better to be safe with a fresh signal and avoid a slow connection! We thank you for choosing Sundial Q401 and our company to assist you with your vacation planning. Should you find yourself wanting to return to Sundial East for another family getaway, we would welcome the opportunity to work with you again. With Sunny Regards, Sharon and the Cottages to Castles Team

Our first time on the island, we will return😍

When we arrived the elevator was down for repairs, waiting on a part. Was finally fixed on Monday but was down again by Friday. So arrival and departure was not pleasant. One set of keys did not work so had to pick up another set. Then the commode in the hall bathroom broke on 7/4. Called and was told no maintenance on duty until the next day but after a little (a lot) of persuading a plumber was called and we were back to two bathrooms. Why does this resort not have maintenance on call 24/7? Not sure we will stay at Sundial again🤔

Dear Jean, Thank You so much for choosing Cottages to Castles to assist you with your vacation planning. I can only offer an apology on behalf of the Owner for the Sundial Condo Association having the elevator in and out of service during your stay. We worked tirelessly on your behalf prior to and after your arrival to ensure that there would be suitable service, and Sundial's disappointing response was that they only have someone on staff Monday through Friday from 8a - 4p. Rest assured, I have reached out to the Owner of Q401, and the Sundial Board, to address this. You are 100% right. It would be nice, especially over a Holiday, to have someone available to handle unforeseen maintenance problems that cannot wait until the next business day! New locks had been installed in April by the Association as well, and it appears one set proved to be difficult to operate. I'm glad we had another functional set to offer you. We have disposed of that set! We pride ourselves on our responsiveness to unforeseen issues. I am on call 24/7 to respond to any concerns, and I personally answered your call at 9pm on July 4. After assessing the problem, I explained that I would do my absolute BEST to get a plumber to you, but I could not guarantee it, as the Causeway Islands were closed to through traffic for the upcoming (ultimately canceled) fireworks. I even offered to come over myself, and bring a fill valve kit with me (yes, we keep a spare on hand!). I simply wanted to be clear that being on an island has its challenges, and July 4 fireworks/road closures can make for a big logistical challenge. Other agencies would consider a non-filling toilet a non-emergency and would have let your call go to voicemail and called you back during normal business hours. We answered your call. We appreciate that your vacation is an investment, and being able to locate a plumber on-island that was willing to come fix the $12 problem for $250 at 9:30pm was a big win! And, you know what? We're thrilled that Walker Plumbing responded so quickly! Your stay and satisfaction is worth every penny! We are making some wonderful improvements to Q401 in the coming weeks. New Plantation Shutters are being installed, new furnishings are arriving, and we would welcome the opportunity to let us make it right and have you and your family return, with a special Friends & Family rate. All the best to you and your Family. With Warm Regards, Sharon & the Cottages to Castles Team

The condo is great. It's roomy and has enough beds for a large family to be comfortable.

We'll definitely come back.
