Another great stay in this unit. I knew going in that the pool and hot tub areas were not yet repaired. So other area businesses also have not reopened since the hurricanes. There is plenty that is open, you can still have very active times and come back and relax in a luxurious, quiet condo and re-energize for you next day's adventure.
The condo was beyond accomodating with 3 adults and 3 small children. Each room was very spacious with big walk in closets. They provided beach toys for the kids. Tvs are in each room and there was enough living room furniture for everyone to have a place to sit. The view was awesome and the place was very clean. The only issue we had was that the hallway bathroom was extremely hard to flush and we would have to lift the back in order to flush it. But other than that, We had a great time and would definitely stay here again.
It was the perfect place for comfort and relaxing! Our host got back to us at a excellent time frame whenever we had to communicate. The view was awesome! It's not in the heart of the business (which is what we wanted) but it is within reach of stores that you would need and want. It was clean, comfy, had everything we needed kitchen wise, extra blankets, I mean honestly there is no complaints about this place or the hosts. Only thing that went wrong was the hot tube stopped giving heat. Still worked but didn't have heat. Totally not the hosts fault in anyway! Beds were comfy, had stuff we could use for the beach. They even have a pop up crib if needed, a stroll if u have little ones. I mean fully equipped is a understatement because these hosts go above and beyond. Loved it and praying it's available again next year because would rent this place again and again if able!
Really great place to stay. Beautiful views of the ocean. It is in a quieter section of the beach which was nice. But still only about 15 minutes drive from the main pier. Communication was great with the owner. Very accommodating. Place really looked nicer than even the pictures showed. Would love to stay at again.
The condo is better than the photos! Nothing beats waking up right on the beach and enjoying breakfast watching the waves. Host was very responsive with the few questions I did have. We would love to stay here again!
Husband, son, daughter-in-law and myself spent our time relaxing and walking on the beautiful beach. Condo was great. Very well stocked for all your needs.
The only thing that was disappointing was the hot tube was not heating. That had nothing to do with the rental.
My family & I (total of 5 adults & 3 - 12 year olds) stayed in this condo for a week. It was a great stay! The location is perfect for what we needed. Access to the pool & beach was so easy. The view was amazing. We had plenty of room for all of us in the condo. If the opportunity arises again, we will definitely check for availability at this condo.
Overall, I would say our stay was pretty positive. The unit was large, comfortable and well-equipped, with a huge balcony providing great views of the beach and ocean. The master bedroom and bath are huge, and the others are large and comfortable as well. The unit has great access to the beach.
Couple of not-so-great things to consider:
1. When we arrived we were told our unit was ready. However, when we entered it was obvious the condo had not been cleaned. Crumbs, sand, laundry, all over the place. Beds not made, etc. Very, very disappointing.
2. The parking here is ridiculous. Each condo only gets one reserved space in the garage. If you have other vehicles you have to park in the outside lot, which is really, really tiny. It was virtually impossible to get a space in the outside lot. Our party had multiple cars so we either chose not to leave the place, or we had to do some major car juggling. Really bad, dumb situation.
3. They were doing some major work on the retaining wall and pool area. It wasn't too bad, but during the day it was quite loud at times. Made it hard to be on the balcony. We knew they were doing work and took the risk, and it was fine. But during the day it did become annoying and bothersome.
This property was in the most amazing location and just as expected according to photos. There were only a couple of downfalls. When we arrived it was very warm in the condo and took about 24-36 hours to cool down (I understand they had issues with the cooling unit but was never told that upon arrival or before). Also when we arrived there was something coating the glass table surface and not sure what it was, but did wash away once we wiped it down. The only other thing was that the pool, hot tube and spa area could not be utilized due to damage from the hurricane a few weeks before we arrived, but again we werenât told about this prior to arriving so that was a little disappointing. Even with all of this, we would still absolutely book this condo again as we loved it and our interactions with Gerald and Nathaniel.
Grew up in the area but come back with my family once a year. This is a an awesome unit in our favorite condo in the shores. Amazing views, great amenities, and on the perfect location of the beach. Beautiful sunrises over the ocean each morning. The owners were great in communicating with us before and during the stay. Would highly recommend this place!
Large condo, excellent views, clean, well equipped, pool area was nice, great location at the end of beach car access. Will definitely consider renting again.
Weâve stayed in this building multiple times and love the location and layout. This unit however, needs some work to be up to the standards weâve seen in the others weâve rented. Furniture is old and very worn, several pieces of the patio furniture were unusable and borderline dangerous. One of the A/C ducts looked like it had been ripped out of the wall and not replaced properly. All in all, still a very nice place just not what weâve come to expect at The Sanibel. Owners were very good communicating prior and during the stay and to be fair we did not share our feedback while we were there.
This was another very enjoyable trip, previously here for the Turkey Rod Run at Thanksgiving 2021 (see previous review), spent 7 days then, spent 13 days this trip, the week prior to the Daytona Speedweek and for Speedweek. I did spend a little more time in the condo this trip, used the kitchen and dining room a little more and also had a vehicle that fit in the inside parking area this trip. Very convenient parking spot inside, very short distance to the elevators, with luggage carts and a shopping cart available to assist in getting things to the unit. All appliances in the kitchen worked perfectly. Already booked for next year and am looking at the possibilities of a trip or two in between now and then. If the unit wasn't comfortable, convenient and enjoyable I wouldn't return, looking forward to my next escape to this paradise.

Our condo was in a great location, wonderful views. Most of the furniture was quite old, should be replaced. There were pillows that we used to get comfortable. All appliances worked.
Our stay at the Daytona Beach Shores condo was great. The location is really nice. Right on the beach, with great views. Right on the dividing line where cars can drive on the beach. Nice to be able to go right and have no cars or see cars on the beach to the left. The condo was great. Everything we needed to eat in most of the time. Beds were comfortable. The workout room had enough free weights and machines to meet all of the needs of me and my three 20+ old sons. Having the pool table was fun.
As others have mentioned the couches are a bit dated and worn but still comfortable.
We had a great time and we would recommend it to others..
Stayed Thanksgiving week. Owners were very easy to contact, we were arriving early and they responded quickly and the unit was available so we were able to start our stay early at the same rate.
Seems like the building is in a very quiet section of town and lesser traffic on Atlantic Ave. than further up town, but easy to get to many area attractions. Directions for building and unit access were spot on and easy. Unit was very clean, well stocked with everything we needed. Being this trip was for two car guys and we didn't use any of the appliances in the kitchen other than the refrigerator and microwave. Many of excellent restaurants close by. The stove and and dishwasher, were clean and appeared in excellent condition. The washer and drier worked well. Cabinets appeared well stocked for cooking and dining in in the unit. The unit is large and quiet. Stools at the counter, couch, and chairs on the balcony are all comfortable, plenty of places for seating. Only the master bedroom and the bedroom with the queen bed were used and both were very comfortable. All bathrooms were well cleaned. Master bathroom is very roomy with a large walk-in shower, large walk in closet. Plenty of hot water all around. Plenty of closet space.
This is definitely a luxurious unit. TV's with cable and WiFi worked well throughout the unit. Beautiful balcony with great views and receives plenty of sun.
Owners are easy to contact and quick with responses, also provided the cleaning persons contact info for even a faster response.
Looking forward to my next trip where I booked the same unit. This unit far exceeded my expectations.
Would have chosen a different condo based on amenities that were broken. Codes werenât correct.
The jetted tub didnât work. The hot water didnât work. One bedroom didnât have a working cable box so the kids had no tv at night. The gate and door codes given to us were all wrong and we spent all week trying to figure them out. The air conditioning wasnât cooking well. One of the bars on the balcony were broken and would bang with the wind.
Overall, very nice condo! Owner responds promptly. Kitchen well stocked. Only issues were master garden tub didn't have any hot water & sofas in living room aren't very comfortable.
This condo is really Beautiful but needs some removal of spent furniture that is not necessary and Truly an eye sore . A matching sofa,, loveseat and chair that is just awful and really not needed. Also some better linens and towels would be much appreciated . Overall very nice and spacious
It's perfect.. clean, safe, surrounded by friendly people, beautiful scenery, tons of shopping and eating, convenient location... white sand beach, ocean, horizon... WOW!!
