Kristine was wonderful. Took excellent care of our needs!!

Great property. Very comfortable. Owner has gone out of their way to try to provide all the comforts of home. The kitchen was fully stocked with EVERYTHING you could possibly need for meal prep. There were plenty of beach supplies. We didn't want for anything. We enjoyed our time there and would use the location again.

My kids and I stayed at this condo. Everyone loved the feeling of home away from home. We loved the ease to get to beach and town. Everyone felt very safe staying here. The views are amazing and the vibe is relaxing. Just what we were looking for!

We loved the condo. A great location with quick easy access to the beach as well as close to restaurants, shopping, etc. The beach was never overcrowded - enjoyed taking walks and shelling. We really liked the beach closet which was fully stocked with gear for the beach - chairs, umbrellas, coolers, boogie boards etc - anything you might need! This was our first trip to Sanibel and we will be returning and would definitely stay here again.

The room was very nice and clean. I gave cleanliness 3 stars not due to the room, but the outside where a common trash can was overflowing for days and I thought the locker area could have been hosed down or swept of sand.

Everything one needs or wants!
This is by far the BEST condo we've stayed in during our years of summer vacations in Florida. There was nothing we wanted that wasn't in the unit -- everything from luxurious beds to fully-stocked kitchen. The storage unit was loaded with beach gear as well -- sun umbrellas, chairs, tube float, and noodles. We had a wonderful time and will definitely be back again.

Perfect Condo
Everything was perfect and exceeded expectations! Gulf view amazing! We ended up flying in instead of driving and condo had it all! Everything for beach days including umbrella and foldable wagon and coolers enough for drinks and sandwiches. Shelling amazing! Pool was perfect for early morning and evening. We swam in gulf during the day. Easy access to everything and traditions next door is pricey but amazing food, drink, and entertainment. Super clean, well stocked. If you don’t book here you are truly missing out! Flawless check in as well. We will definitely book again if we can find availability this one is a gem! Owner checked in with us via message day after arrival and we were so pleased with her hospitality!

Great family vacation
The condo was well maintained with beautiful gulf views and easy access to the beach. There was plenty of space on the beach with families every 10 yards or farther and most times we were the only people at the pool. The condo was also well equipped with everything that we needed for the stay, such as paper towels, toilet paper, soap, dishwasher and laundry soap, spices for cooking, beach gear, nightlights in all rooms and even a travel crib for our baby. The keyless entry and checkin made it very convenient. The host was very responsive to questions. Overall, we loved it there and would return.

Wonderful stay!
This condo had everything we needed for a comfortable and happy stay at Sanibel! We especially loved the view from the lanai, the close proximity to the beach, the keyless entry, the cleanliness of the unit, and it’s location close to restaurants and grocery stores. Communication with the owner was excellent.

Sanibel West Gulf Beach
Great location in a quiet 9-unit building on the beach with a nice building pool. We appreciated the beautiful view overlooking the garden and ocean. We enjoyed our meals on the screened-in lanai and appreciated the light-filled corner unit. Well-stocked condo made it an easy family beach destination.

Disappointed in VRBO and the host
Property was not ready at 4:00 as promised. We were told it possibly would be ready early. We arrived at 4 with groceries and had not heard a word from the host as she promised to let us know when it was ready. We walked in and the condo was a mess,food on the carpet,stains all over, mud tracked in,nasty food left in the fridge, and beds all unmade. We called her and she got back with us and said the cleaner. Had an accident. Then said things happen. Understood. But not being informed was unacceptable. We drove 10 hours that day and we’re exhausted. She said just go eat somewhere and it will get cleaned .We sat in the car in 50 degree weather not feeling like driving in the Saturday traffic to find a place to eat. Finally after an hour she sent us a gift certificate for dinner next door. Nice gesture but we were trying to stay away from crowds due to Covid and that’s why we chose the condo so we could fix our own meals. We didn’t hear back until about 6:30 and when we went in the beds were made ,they had mopped and emptied the fridge but the carpet was filthy with stains all over. We just went to bed and gave up. We should have refused the property but felt we had no choice. Besides this the pool wasn’t heated for the first week we were there and we again talked with the host and never got a response. Found out ourselves the propane was out and it took a week before we saw the truck refilled. We picked this condo for the heated pool because I had surgery before we left and needed it for therapy. Monday after we got there the host finally got someone to clean the carpets and said they would be dry in an hour or two. 5 days later they we finally dry enough to put the furniture back. She told us to but it back the next day but all the tables were metal and we didn’t want to be responsible for rust on the carpet. 3/4 f the condo is carpet and it was so wet it even soaked up on the bed skirts. We had to be bare foot the first week of the vacation. The 2 of us also spent 2 hours scrubbing the floors and bathrooms which we filthy. Toothpaste and makeup all over the walls in both bathrooms. Disgusting! With Covid this property wes a mess and not ready fo occupancy!!! In need of painting and a very deep clean. The headboard in the master had a huge layer of fur ball along with all the other undusted surfaces. Also the electrical is very unsafe, non working switches, flimsy extension cords tacked to the baseboards and when both

Perfect place to unwind!
We loved our stay. The condo is beautiful and had everything we needed for our stay. Loved the view of the Gulf from our balcony. And the short walk to the beach led to lots of shelling and enjoyment of great sunsets.

Excellent Sanibel Retreat
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this condo. It is right on the beach and in a small complex. The condo was clean and very well set-up with everything you could need in the kitchen and to enjoy the beach. The owner was very responsive and even had new yoga mats available for us to use. My boys, ages 8 and 14, loved the direct beach access and also enjoyed the pool. We would go back in a heartbeat.

Fantastic Week Away
I can't say enough good things about this condo right on a beautiful beach. My family had a wonderful time and loved everything about the condo. It was big enough for us to spread out and had every thing we could possibly need, right down to the laundry detergent, soap, towels and a special welcome gift. We definitely recommend renting this property and we can't wait to come back. Thank you for sharing your place with us!

Great property and super close to water
This property was great for our family of 5. The condo was very clean and had everything we needed. We didn't need to contact Kristine much, but when we did she was very responsive. Kitchen is well stocked and has all you need should you choose to stay in and cook. The beach closet has everything you need for a great day at the beach. Chairs, umbrella, sand toys, balls, cooler, you name it. Super handy when you fly in and can't bring those things with you. The walk from the condo to the beach is super short - it's actually further from the front door to the garbage than from the back patio to the beach! Make sure you have something to protect you from the no see ums - they are brutal, but don't let them stop you. I would highly recommend this clean and comfy rental!

Wonderful Condo, Great Location, Beautiful View
Loved everything about our stay in this condo. Very Clean and comfortable, nicely decorated, quiet location filled with everything you need for a relaxing stay at the beach. Beautiful view of the gulf, with just a few steps to the beach. Also enjoyed the pool and amazing closet full of everything you need to spend your day at the beach.

Absolutely perfect!
When this says steps from the beach it means mere STEPS! So close and perfect for our two kids under 5. Everything you need in the closet for beach toys, kites, towels, chairs, umbrella, pack n play; this is a one stop shop. We will definitely be staying here again!! Also super close to tons of restaurants which we biked to every day!

Perfectly located
This unit is lovely & the location to the beach is perfect. Not having to pack chairs, towels & umbrellas is a big space saver since we traveled from NC with three teen girls. We loved the covered, screen area overlooking the path & garden and ocean. Book with confidence, we wish we could have stayed longer.

Hope to come back!
We loved our stay here! The condo was exactly as pictured. It was clean upon arrival. The renter was very helpful in anything we needed. We asked if they had a pack n play, and when we got there they had a new one waiting on us. Just steps away from the beach and the pool. The garden on the way to the beach is beautiful. It’s very quiet and peaceful at this small complex, which we liked. They have everything needed in the kitchen, we cooked most of our meals here, and it was great. The beach chairs and toys were a nice bonus also. Hopefully we can come back here soon!

Relaxing, enjoyable vacation
We stayed 7 nights, family of 4 with 2 teens. The condo is spacious, great location with short walk to the beach. The kitchen was very well stocked for cooking, the coffee maker could have been better, but there are 2, one keurig and a coffee maker. Beds were comfortable. There is beach gear outside, such as chairs and umbrella. We rented bikes for the week and were able to ride to different places to eat, shop. Pretty centrally located. The bike trails are great, but it is very hot. The beach was great and so relaxing. No issues with booking this condo and I even had to change the dates. Thanks for a great week.

Beautiful rental, right off beach
Great condition, beautifully decorated, true to the pictures. Balcony has view of the ocean, right off the beach. We had a tortoise in the backyard! This was a bit pricier than other comparable rentals, but everything was booking fast! On the higher side of our budget for # of beds, plan ahead! Quiet facility with other families. Easy check in process, although only uses keypad - kept thinking there was a key in the box to get into downstairs storage but never figured that out. Nice, clean pool on site. Could use a bit more stocking of kitchen utensils, pans and storage supplies but we added some. There was no need to reach owners, messages through vrbo were sufficient. This area was great for daily beach going but a bit farther from the shops and restaurants so we drove to most of those, did rent bikes and ride those a couple of days to explore. We LOVE Sanibel!!! Beautiful rental and soo many pretty shells found on the beach at this property! Very satisfied!

We plan to return. A great place to stay!
The location is perfect. A very short walk to the beach. The kitchen had more than everything you needed for cooking. The beds were very comfortable and the balcony was screened in so no bugs while sitting out at the outdoor table.
Everything was very nice including the parking area and pool.
Thumbs up!

Turtle time!
We chose this VRBO for the nature and privacy and it did not disappoint! We saw a gopher turtle that lives in the garden, sea turtle nests and a huge loggerhead laying her eggs under the moonlight. The shells were in heaps on the beach. Water warm with waves. Low visibility. We visited Ding and the Eco cruise tour. We saw a shark, manatee and dolphins. Countless birds and variety. I love the ibises. We saw armadillo and rabbits and rats. The condo was comfortable and clean. You need to bring salt, pepper, sugar etc if you are cooking/eating in. The garden on way to beach is gorgeous! Next time we want to rent bikes!!! Pool was also a huge plus!

Dream Vacation Location
The view of the ocean and the location of this unit is amazing! When on the balcony you feel like you are in a garden right on the beach. Being an end unit is great! The unit was very clean and spacious as well. It is a small complex so very quiet and relaxing. The location is ideal as well. A quick car ride or bike ride to restaurants and grocery stores yet away from the more crowded parts of the island. The beach is just steps away, is beautiful and is great for swimming and shelling. We absolutely loved our stay!

Exactly what I was looking for ! Perfect !
Beautifully updated . Perfect location . Loved the screened in porch with beach views . The storage Unit was so helpful for our beach stuff . We didn’t have to lug all our stuff down the beach at once . Just a few steps off the beach and walked up if we needed something. .
Just what we needed ! Make sure to bring water shoes ! Looking for shells is everyone’s favorite activity , but a little rough on the feet - even for the most experienced beach goers ! Love that the condo was set back a bit with tree lined barriers -offering privacy and serenity !

Wonderful Beach Location
This was perfect. It was a quiet and peaceful condo with the beach a few steps out your door. Equipped with chairs, umbrellas, and plenty of other beach paraphernalia, we didn’t need much. Also very clean and well maintained. Definitely a wonderful stay.

We ❤️ It!!!
If you are looking for a place to stay on Sanibel Island look no further!! We just got back from 7 fabulous days relaxing and soaking up the sun. I must stress relax!! The condo was beautiful... very clean and comfortable for myself, my husband and 2 teenagers 17 and 15. It was roomy and had everything we needed to enjoy our perfect beach vacation. We spent the mornings by the pool that was heated and had plenty of lounging furniture. It was a quick 2 minute walk to the beach that was very private, not much foot traffic made it extremely peaceful. (They had beach chairs for us to use)The neighbors that we met were very friendly and took sunset pictures for us of our family. We watched the beautiful sunsets every evening, collected many sea shells, and than went out and enjoyed dinner at the many restaurants on the island. This was hands down the most relaxing vacation we have ever had. Kristine was wonderful and we can’t wait to come back!! I promise you will NOT be disappointed!
