This condo was so comfortable that it felt like home. Great location to the private beach. Colleen was wonderful and full of information. She was a pleasure to deal with.We will definitely be back.
Our stay on Sanibel was so perfect! The condo was exactly what we needed. Perfect location - we were looking for something quiet, away from all the hustle and bustle, yet close enough when we wanted to run out for a meal or ice cream. Super close to the beach, with a private (for the condo complex) access to the beach, just a 5-minute walk. The beach itself was beautiful, wide, secluded, not crowded at all. The pool and tennis courts offered a variety of things to do without even leaving the property. All the rooms in the condo itself were spacious and well equipped, including a well-appointed kitchen. Clean, comfortable, with easy parking and beautiful landscaping around. Just gorgeous. Colleen was easy to reach and super responsive - the perfect host. Thank you so very much! We will be back :)
Large condo, clean and well stocked. Very safe and quiet. It was so handy to have all beach towels and accessories available. Beds were comfortable and air conditioning worked well.
Great week! Host is very easy to communicate with. Only down side was there were only 2 wash cloths, may want to bring a few. Abundance of bath towels.
Would definitely stay here again. Thanks for a great week.
We stayed a little longer than a week because we live 14 hours away. It was a fantastic stay and would recommend it to anyone. We have 4 kids and 1/2 loved the pool and 1/2 loved the ocean. We got best of both worlds. I felt safe while staying on site and had everything I needed. Colleen recommend bike rentals for the week and loved it. We will do that again. We will be back and hope to stay again. Loved our family vacation, it was the best!!
We really enjoyed our stay at this property. The condo was exactly as listed. We only used the master bedroom and the bed was very comfortable. The walk to the beach is not far. We saw manatees one evening while walking over the bridge to the beach. This was a truly relaxing vacation.
Beautiful condo. Well equipped with amenities. Walking distance to a private beach. May is the best time to visit. Itâs after the tourist season and the weather is perfect. We had fun walking to the beach every day and grilling out most nights. The beach wasnât too congested and we made use of the complimentary beach equipment. Make sure you buy more groceries than you think you will use because driving to Ft Myers is a good 50 mins minimum for Aldi and Walmart. We will definitely be back.
My wife and I really enjoyed ourselves. We had never been to Sanibel before and found it fantastic. The condo was beautiful and Bowman's beach a short walk away, it is a perfect location.
We will definitely be back again in the future.
We really enjoyed our stay. Everything was great. Condo is clean and nicely decorated. Beds are comfy. Nice towels. Good water pressure.. Pool and community is great. We played pickleball several times during our stay. Beach is a bit of a walk but cart makes it easier. Owner is lovely and checked in with us.
We enjoyed our stay in the this condo for a week. It was our home away from home. The condo had everything we needed from going to the beach to cooking dinner for ourselves. The condo was clean and decorated beautifully. Even when we were inside we felt we were at the beach. The only down side for us was it was on the second floor and one of the people that was in my group had a knee replacement 5 months ago. The steps were a challenge when we were out all day walking around. I just didn't think about that when I booked it. The complex was very nice. The pool was incredible. We enjoyed the heated pool and spent hours floating around on noodles. The pool was heated but not to the point that it was bath water. It was still refreshing to get in but you didn't have that shock to your body because it was so cold. Colleen was very responsive to questions we had and gave us great restaurant suggestions. Thank you Colleen for allowing us to enjoy your little piece of heaven for a week.
We are two couples in our sixties, and enjoyed our stay very much. The condo was clean, well stocked with everything you need, and very comfortable. We spent time at the beach and the pool area and enjoyed both. Colleen was easy to contact prior to and during our stay and we had no problems with the unit. We would recommend getting another lamp for the second bedroom so each bed had a reading light. Only a very minor issue, and didnât request it during our stay, just a suggestion. We were very happy with our weeks stay. The Ding Darling Refuge was very interesting and we had a good time driving/walking through it. We enjoyed Doc Fords for dinner and the Mucky Duck in Captiva very much. Donât hesitate to stay here, it was a wonderful week!
We are so grateful to Colleen for the great week with our kids and 2 small grandkids. Check out was easy, the place was well equipped for all of our needs. Beds were very comfortable!! The pool area is absolutely fantastic and was a ton of fun for our 3 year old grandson - as well as our kids. The multiple grills available were sure nice and gave us some options for cooking for ourselves.
The local 2 bald eagles that hang out in a tree on the property were there each morning and added to the number of very cool things we got to see during the week- (including a florida panther crossed the road in front of our car on Sanibel - Captiva road with its big body and long tail)
The beach is a great hit - and we also enjoyed fishing up at Blind Pass Bridge in the mornings and caught a wide variety of fish. Sunrises with dolphins and amazing sunsets were big hits with my girls - along with shelling.
Colleen was very responsive to questions we had and is a great host. The property was very quiet at night and quite active in the mornings - with options to jump in on tennis or pickle ball games. We hope to stay here again!!
A great location and a great unit! Very good communication with the owner. There was a minor issue during our stay and the owner quickly took care of things. Excellent service and beautiful place!
Everything about this vrbo and its location was wonderful! The condo was well appointed and Colleen has many thoughtful details that make for an easy vacation, smart tv, beach supplies quality linens, kitchen supplies etc.. The condo was spotless as was the complex. Sanibel and Colleenâs condo was amazing, we hope to be back!
This was definitely a 5 star area to stay, but the condo had issues. To start, we got in late in the day and the condo only had one roll of toilet paper, one box of Kleenex and nothing else. No hand soap, dish soap, laundry soap, etc. Walked in to a missing blind in the living room, a broken blind in the kitchen. Broken shower door and the knob fell off the bedroom closet door. The two twin beds had very hard, squeaky mattress's. The living room couches were comfortable and the dining area was nice. Great pool and access to the beach.
Lovely second-floor apartment with nice furnishings and new kitchen appliances. The adjoining beach is lovely, not far to walk, and not crowded. There is a pool, as well. Very nice!
First time using VRBO and first time staying on Sanibel Island. The condo was a lovely beach themed 2 bedroom with just about everything you would need. The property owner was receptive to messages in a timely manner. The maintenance manager was very sweet. The property is lovely with beautiful landscape and the pool was lovely. There is a walk through lovely nature to get to the beach.
We are so glad we had the opportunity to rent this condo. Very clean, easy check in and just an all around wonderful place for a vacation! We look forward to coming back next year!

A very comfortable and well decorated apartment (nicely kept) that makes you feel at home. It has all that you need to enjoy that Sanibel wonderful beach, with kids and friends. I would rent it again!
I would say this island and condo are hidden treasures!!! The atmosphere is so laid back. No rushing and the fastest speed limit I saw was 35. We took the time to rest, relax, go shelling, and enjoy Godâs handiwork. The condo was very clean and a super nice area to stay in. A 5 minute walk to a beach that was not too busy, a swim in the pool, shelling, and kayaking if you so desired. This was the best week we have had in a long time!!!
Beautiful condo just a short, safe and beautiful walk to Bowman beach! No streets to cross!
First off, communicatipn with property owner, Colleen, was always prompt and professional. She was willing to make booking accommodations for us based on our flights and was very helpful and flexible.
The condo was spacious, newly renovated, and clean and beautifully decorated and detailed. Two comfy automatic blow up beds too. It was stocked with ANYTHING you may need to cook in the new kitchen. Also everything was supplied for the beach except swimsuit and sunblock! Use the large wheel cart for beach trips ;)
There was a supply of paper towels, toilet paper, dish soap and dishwasher soap to last our 5 days. Bring laundry soap for the washer dryer.
Day trip to Cayo Costo IS SO WORTH THE PRICE. Unbelievable beauty and tranquility!
On Sanibel itself, we found Bowman beach the BEST of all of them, uncrowded and lots of undisturbed shoreline for walking and shelling, and only a short walk eliminating the parking fees. Other beaches were crowded and we couldn't find parking.
We will absolutely stay here again!
My parents bought this condo in 1977 and we have had many wonderful times on the islands. My parents left the condo to my bother and me in 2017 and we are thrilled to be the second generation owners. I reside in Michigan and work as an actor ( stage, commercials, industrial films) musician and director. My brother has his own marketing business and lives in Minneapolis. We are both married and love spending time with our grown children and their families.
We take loving care of our condo as it has been in our family for many years. We hope that you will love staying in our home and that you will create many lasting memories during your stay on Sanibel as we have. We will respond quickly to any correspondence and should an issue arise we will send someone to attend to it promptly.
Our unit is close to the tennis courts, pool, and grills. The sidewalk to our unit leads directly to our carport. We have all the essentials you need for the beach which is a short 6 minute walk. We have renovated and tastefully decorated our unit as the perfect beach getaway.
