Spacious with Incredible Views

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was probably one of my favorite rentals we have ever had. The views of the beach were stunning... FROM EVERY ROOM IN THE HOUSE! I am not even sure how that is possible, but the stars aligned with this place. It does not feel like a condo, and the pictures don't do the size justice. The beds were super comfortable, the pool (we used the one next door as the condo's pool is still being redone) was heated and I believe salt water and was amazing. The beds were comfortable, and the home has been decorated beautifully. It is actually TWO units that are seamlessly connected. But would be great for a family that wants some separation between sleeping kids and night owl parents. There was no construction and it was extremely quiet. Access to the beach is RIGHT THERE, and the sand, sun and shells cannot be beat!

A Perfect Week

The place is very large and generally well-appointed, the views are expansive and magnificent, and the layout leaves room for much privacy for the three couples who were there. As others have pointed out, perhaps could use a little upgrading, but I am quibbling now. Would love to return for another visit! The one problem we had was quickly and seamlessly dealt with. .In summary, WE LOVED IT.

Great Potential

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The unit is pretty worn down. Same furnishings as our stay in 2012 and it was older then. Floors need a really good cleaning. Bathrooms need refreshing. Kitchen had barely enough dishes and not enough glasses. It is a great unit in a great location for large groups and plenty of room fro everyone. When it is remodeled it should be fantastic.

Surfside Stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is a spacious condo with a beautiful view. The bedrooms, bathroom and laundry have been updated and are very nice. The mattress comfort is just ok. The living area and kitchen are in need of updating, but assume they will be done as nicely as the bedrooms/bathrooms at some point. The furniture in the living area is quite uncomfortable (wicker outdoor type)so it would be nice to have better furniture and a bigger,better TV in such a large space. But overall, it's a nice place, in a good location and has several amenities--pool, tennis,a beach cabana, beach chairs, etc, and good restaurants and shops nearby.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Location is great. Space is a double condo. On the surface the condo was clean but the floor was dirty. After going barefoot, our feet were black the first night. The cushions on the outdoor furniture in the dining has stains on it. The bathroom in the Master Bedroom was very nice. The manager was a little snippy when we were confused about the digital locks. (Door on first floor with digital lock is owners' closet, door to condo on third floor) But, it was resolved. It is a large space, especially for only 6 guests. Loved the island with all its amenities.

Great Trip with Wonderful Accommodations

Our family loved the location and the beautiful roomy condo. It was perfect for our two teenagers and our toddler. The bathrooms and bedrooms are newly remodeled. The floor could have used some throw rugs but with the sand it is understandable why they don’t have them. Unfortunately because of that we had to clean them a couple times and buy floor cleaner so our feet weren’t so dirty from it. (The vaccum and broom didn’t pick up enough). Everything else was great, from the view to the large variety of beach toys and equipment to the convenient cabana by the beach. We also can’t say enough about the great customer service. They were quick to email back or answer the phone if we had any questions. Thank you for a very enjoyable vacation!

Slice of paradise

We had a little hiccup after picking up the keys, we did not know how to get into the property and couldn't get a hold of anybody on the emergency number, plus we did not have the keys to the cabana. Once someone got back to us, Charles, everything got straightened out. The condo is very big with views to die for!! It could sure use updating, paint would go a long way, more comfortable furniture too, but the bathrooms were beautiful! New Beach chairs would be nice, most of them are rusted, ripped and falling apart. The pool is not Maintained, sand all over the bottom, nobody there to vacuum it out. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and again cannot say enough about the views.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We love the apartment! Overall a wonderful place to stay. We do need to say that the TV in the Living area was hard to work; it seems older than those in the bedrooms. The update bathrooms and bedroom are wonderful.Were surprised to note that there were very few wine glasses.(4) We had to buy more of our own, which we took home with us. The conditions of the walls in the living area is not great; average at best. Also, you need more teaspoons! Other that those few things, the place was very well furnished and the spaciousness was relaxing! Kitchen could use a makeover!

Surprise!

We've visited Surfside many times before, even staying in 231 about 5 years ago. We were happy to see the wonderful improvements to the unit. We were not aware they had been done. To be honest, I thought I had booked a condo in the front building, but with the updates we couldn't have been happier. We rebooked for next year. Glad I made that mistake!

Our favorite place in Sanibel

This is our second time staying here—and it certainly won’t be our last. It’s a perfect condo for more than one couple—the layout is such that it makes socializing easy but also provides privacy. The location on the island is perfect—easy bike ride to anywhere. The pool is great! And we loved the recent upgrades to the unit’s cabana and all 4 condo bathrooms. Thanks for another memorable stay!

Just the retreat that we were hoping for

We had a wonderful time in this super comfortable, super quiet, and very clean condo and condo community. We especially appreciated the newly renovated bathrooms. The views from the living area, master bedroom and second bedroom, exceptional. We were fortunate from many days of our stay to have the a/c off and the sliders open. We hope to return again next year, maybe for a longer stay (14 days were great, but, would like to really relax...). thanks, George and Mary Anne
