Reviewer Comments:
Our unit was a Gulf front 2-bedroom. When visiting Sanibel Moorings in the past, we've learned that we really need a Gulf front unit to appreciate the Gulf breezes and the sounds of the surf throughout the stay--the inner units (somewhat euphemistically named "garden views") simply don't provide the daily sense of actually being at the sea. It's nice to sit on the screen balcony with a book and enjoy the sea birds and the harmony of the seaside. Although such units are rare at Sanibel Moorings and quite expensive to rent, they are the only units we consider.The unit was reasonably well appointed. The furnishings, however, were tired, worn and frequently stained. The carpet, in particular, needs replacing. When we first arrived, the unit had an odor we tend to associate, from prior unpleasant experiences, with the chemical treatment needed for "pet-friendly" units -- units we have learned to scrupulously avoid (until, I think, this one).
