Thank you to Mike and Amanda for taking time to give us this good review. As regular travelers, we appreciate it when we can read words from other guests about their experience at a place we do not know. It was just wonderful to have you back nearly 4 years after Hurricane Ian hit. Rest assured, we are putting your rental proceeds directly back into our magic place to maintain and improve the experience for all our guests. And since this is our home for 7 months each year, we get to benefit also!

My girlfriends and I had the best getaway thanks to Barry and Fran’s condo! The location can’t be beat, steps to the sand and water. The unit itself is beautiful and has to be the most well stocked VRBO I’ve ever stayed in. The hosts are incredibly thoughtful in regards to their home but also the communication they provide. Top tier hosts and we couldn’t be happier!

Huge thanks Lindsay for this lovely review. We do care about this magic place it’s our home Oct 15-May 15 each year. And when hosts care, guests usually notice. We’re delighted you had a great vacation and hope we can host you again sometime. Meantime, we’ll be taking care of our magic condo for ourselves, for you and all our future guests.

P6D delivered once more!! The best views, the most high-tech experience & excellent host! We used the balcony daily & enjoyed every lovely aspect of the recent renovation! We marvel at the experience of staying in P6D - a place where you feel “at home” because the hosts share their “home” & not just a condo. Thank you & we are already looking forward to next year!

Many thanks to Paul and Sara for this great review. We always enjoy welcoming back previous guests and you guys are extra special. You were the last guests we hosted before we started our kitchen remodel in August 2022. Three weeks later Hurricane Ian devastated Sanibel and Island Beach Club. Your very kind review from that stay is still visible on our VRBO listing. And now you've added another as we resumed hosting guests in May 2026. Many thanks to you and Sara for your great reviews, support and input about our renovation work. The best gauge of consumer sentiment is re-booking and we note you've already made plans to return in 2027. We'll be excited to welcome you back again!

Barry and Fran are gracious hosts. Their condo is absolutely stunning. The views are gorgeous. The unit was spotless upon arrival. The Island Beach Club looks amazing! We enjoyed every minute of our stay. P6D is truly a showstopper-everything in the unit looked brand new. The hosts get an A! Best vacation rental we have stayed in thus far!

Wow, what a terrific review Amy. Many thanks for taking the time to share your experience. And soooo glad you found everything to your satisfaction! Hopefully, your review will help others to decide to book our magic unit. And for that we are most grateful! We try very hard to keep everything in tip-top condition. It involves a lot of work and plenty of investment. But reviews such as yours make it all worthwhile. And anyway, Fran and I want it to be in great shape since it is our home from mid-Oct-mid May each year.

Our 6th trip to Sanibel!While we’ve stayed at this group of condos before and liked the location quite well, this was our first stay at THIS Aunit.The penthouse full-view of the Gulf was extraordinary!! Exactly as described! And very nice that, as the condo is at the farthest end of the building, there are no neighbors visible!Everything about the condo was top of the line! From the way the kitchen was equipped to the high thread-count silky sea-green sheets…and everything in between!A lit-from-within tower for beautiful glasses and a similarly lit wine cabinet were two of my favorite things! Communication w the owners was outstanding! Couldn’t have wished for better. And keyless entry w passcode! No searching for the key! And a telescope! Tripod-mounted for simplicity. Fabulous views!Will definitely return to Sanibel for a 7th trip & hope to find this highly sought-after condo available! Jim & wife Terry from Michigan

The P6D condo at Island Beach Club on Sanibel Island is a truly magical place. The view is stunning and the condo itself is lovely. Very well decorated and appointed. The amenities are fabulous. Many appliances and plenty of dishes, flatware, cups and glasses. Barry and Fran are the perfect hosts. They communicated with us leading up to our stay and once we were there they made sure everything was perfect. We appreciate them very much. We have already booked our stay for next year and look forward to another week at this magical place. We appreciate Barry and Fran sharing their winter home.

P6D is an incredible Sanibel condo! We have been staying at Island Beach Club for at least 15 years. There just isn’t anything like it on the island: there are floor to ceiling glass walls and you feel like you are right on the beach. This unit is so special and so well cared for and stocked with anything you might need. The owners, Barry and Fran, are the most amazing hosts and keep this place in perfect condition. There is every modern convenience you might need in this unit. They really have thought of everything! The furniture and mattresses are very comfortable and the unit is decorated with beautiful artwork with a beachy vibe. We were so happy to finally be able to stay in the condo again this year after all of the repairs were made from damage Hurricane Ian caused. I can honestly say it’s better than ever! Thank you again for making this beautiful place so magical and sharing it with us!

Susan, you brought Fran to tears with this wonderful review. Thank you! (I wouldn’t admit it if I had the same reaction) This is our primary home—we love it and live in it for seven months a year. We are delighted to share it in the summers with guests who share that love. Thanks for the many years you’ve stayed with us and soooo glad to have had you back in 2026.

We had an absolutely incredible stay at Barry and Fran’s condo! The top-floor, corner unit location right on the beach made all the difference—breathtaking, unobstructed views that we never got tired of enjoying.The accommodations were exceptional. The unit itself was spotless, beautifully decorated with local art and coastal scenery, and had such a warm, inviting feel from the moment we walked in. Every detail was thoughtfully curated, and the modern technology features made our stay even more convenient and comfortable.One of the most memorable parts of our stay was the wildlife—we were able to watch dolphins right from the balcony and while relaxing on the beach. In the mornings, we even saw signs of sea turtles coming ashore to nest, which made the experience feel even more special and uniquely Sanibel.Barry and Fran were outstanding hosts! They made us feel welcome right away and went above and beyond by checking in to ensure everything exceeded our expectations—which it absolutely did.This was truly a perfect Sanibel getaway for our anniversary, and we can’t wait to return. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a relaxing beachfront escape!

We hope they will prove helpful to all who follow you!

Thank you Janet. It was a pleasure meeting you as we arrived for our annual winter stay. By the way, thanks for leaving the condo in excellent shape! It was a pleasure to have you and Chris as our guests. In good part, Island Beach Club P6D is special because it's our home for half the year. And we are pretty particular about how we furnish and maintain it. If it's well-equipped, it's because we want that for ourselves. If it's well maintained, it's because we dislike having things go un-repaired. So, you get more of a home experience than many other rental properties we've been in. Of course, we can't control that incredible waterfront view--it's just a bonus feature! We're delighted you had a great vacation in our magic place.

Thanks to Karin for this kind review. Happy to know your family get together was a success. We try hard to keep our magic place in top condition. It's what we hope to find when we travel to other VRBO properties. We do communicate with every guest, both to assure we are a good fit for each other and to detect anything that might need fixing or an upgrade. It's heavenly living on the beach but salt air, sunshine and tropical storms wreak havoc with man-made structures and beach equipment. Our promise to all our guests is we will work constantly to provide a top-notch vacation home experience. And you can always reach us with questions, comments or concerns.
