Second time staying here

As usual unit was ready and clean upon arrival,very well stocked kitchen for customer use, but did have pretty large stains in master bedroom carpet which is looking old and needs replacing,ceiling fan does not circulate air very well,towels in master bathroom were beach stained. We had friends visit and spend the night in guest room,there is no tv or ceiling fan in the guest room,little uncomfortable for guests. A/C unit does very good on cooling main living room, but not bedrooms. Little things could make unit much better. Love the location.

Breakers West Review

This was our second stay at Breakers West C3. The condo is phenomenal, and has become our “Home away from home!” The condo is very spacious, tremendously clean, loaded with amenities, and provides everything anyone would need for a very comfortable, very relaxing, and very enjoyable visit. The walk to the beach is only takes a couple of minutes. My wife and I look forward to our next stay at the Breakers West, and I would “highly” recommend this property to anyone looking for a fantastic stay.

Charming Condo In The Perfect Location

We really enjoyed our stay. The unit C3 was immaculate and beautifully decorated. I was quite surprised with the luxurious sheets and towels in the master suite. They really thought of everything you would need including beach towels and umbrellas. We were just a short walk down a lovely path to the beach. The stretch of beach was breathtaking and the shells were gorgeous . We will definitely be back. Thank you for sharing your happy place with us.

We love Breakers West and have stayed there in different units a number of times. C3 is a great unit with very responsive hosts. It has been beautifully updated, but still shows its age, as most of them do. Access to the rooftop area is awesome! I never even knew that was there before! If you typically stay at Vrbo locations, you should note that this one does NOT save leftover kitchen items e.g. coffee, sugar, coffee filters, spices, as you may be accustomed to. However, the welcome get-started boxes are very helpful with basic kitchen cleaning needs as well as toiletries in the bathrooms. Overall, a great place to stay!

This condo did not look out onto the water, but was located within minutes of the beach via a crushed shell path. It was simple and comfortable and an easy bike ride to the Wildlife Refuge. The beach had mounds of shells and lovely wintering birds skittering along the shore. I would come back!

Awesome stay we love Sanibel. Awesome setting. Only bad thing waa the ceiling fan cord in the master bed room that had been cut and put back together with electrical tape. I showed it to the gentle man when he replaced the battery in the fan remote but it wasnt fixed. Really not safe a kid could pull it apart. But everything else was awesome.

Good location

Unit spacious, clean and well stocked kitchen. On the beach which was not crowded. Great shelling.However the king bed mattress too soft very uncomfortable. Booked this unit for king bed but couldn't use it. Had to sleep in queen bed. Also all towels and sheets strong perfume scent which was terrible! Never stayed anywhere that had scented tiwels and sheets. Not good for people with allergies.Hopefully this place will change to unscented detergent. A

Enjoyed our stay at Breakers West C3 on Sanibel Island. The condo had everything that one could ask for. It was very clean and organized. Quiet,nice pool, rooftop sunning area, and just a very short walk to the beach. We payed extra for early check-in. Worth it. Will we return? In a heartbeat!
