We had a wonderful time and enjoyed the awesome facility. The view was perfect and appreciated the screened porches. Everything was very clean and organised. Loved the location and the ease of getting to Sanibel and Fort Myers Beach. If you want to park and forget driving many restaurants in walking distance.
Condo was gorgeous and views were outstanding. Everything worked well in the condo. Only negatives were the couch, wasn't supportive or comfortable. Master bed could use a refresh also.
This condo was the perfect winter getaway for our family of 5. The rental had beautiful updates and an incredible view that's right on the water. We crossed over to Sanibel most days, hit the beach then headed back over to the property for pool time in the heated pool. We ended the day watching the sunset on the balcony. Great communication from host. Our kids loved it and so did we! Would definitely stay here again!
We thoroughly enjoyed the view from this condo! The unit had everything we needed for a long weekend and was close to activities. Easy, contactless process!
The unit we rented was beautiful, clean and the view was perfect. We even saw dolphins in the morning. We did travel with two little kids, a 4-year-old and a 2-year-old and they enjoyed it as well. We did experience a rude neighbor who wasn't too thrilled we had children and complained they were loud and much more. She was a very negative person and did but a damper on our family vacation and we did check out a day earlier because of her. Everyone else we encountered was lovely and it only took one person. So families be aware.
My husband and I needed a quiet time away. This condo was perfect! The view was amazing. And the private beach was wonderful, and plenty of restaurants nearby. It was exactly what we needed.
Before COVID, we had planned to take a vacation, then everything shut down. Fast forward 2 years. While looking for a place with a good view and location, we came across this property. The description of everything was spot on and was everything we were looking for. We didn't know just how good it would be . The experience was more than we could have hoped for. It was clean. The view was spectacular. The process was painless.
My mother and I enjoyed our 5 night stay! The Condo is clean, spacious and as advertised on the website. The beds were comfortable! Mom loved her view of the bay from the master bedroom!
We were a quick drive to shopping and the beaches. The sunset views from the Lanai were amazing!
This property surpassed our expectations! It was very clean and well stocked. The kitchen and bathrooms have been nicely updated and everything was in perfect working order. The view can't be beat! We will stay here again, for sure!
Overall, we LOVED this property. We were there for a week, so below is a review of what we learned.
Pros:
1. The private beach was amazing. And while not connected to the Marriott, the exclusivity of actually being BEHIND the resort made this feel like a very exclusive location. Note: I normally go to the beach in the AM as the afternoon sun is too hot, but given the location of the building, do you errands in the AM and hit the beach in the afternoon. Otherwise you will be chilling in the shade all AM.
2. The decor in the condo was so nice! And it was much bigger than it looks on the photos. Everything felt so clean, fresh, and relaxing.
3. The view (maybe this should have been #1). Given how high up we were it felt like our room was OVER the water. It was so relaxing and seeing all the boats going by always gave you something to look at.
4. All the beds were comfy. My sister decided to sleep on the pull out couch and she said she slept like a rock, some of the best sleep she has had.
Cons (cause nothing is perfect):
1. The elevators are painfully slow. So make sure you have everything before going up or down.
2. There is no cable, but rather a roku. While I was fine with this my elderly mother couldn't figure it out so one of us had to change the channels for her. Just something to be aware of when planning your trip.
3. Maybe this is nitpicky, but there were no coasters and not enough towel racks. I didn't want to damage the furniture by putting drinks on them, and there was no where to hang up wet suits and towels. A nice rack on the porch would be ideal.
4. The gulf there isn't really a great floating beach like other beaches in Florida. Lots of seaweed, which wasn't a big deal. The private beach more than made up for it, but next time I will bring swim shoes because walking on the slim is a bit gross.
Overall, we really loved it and would def go back to this location.
Apartment was great. Wry clean and easy to go in and out of. It was located near restaurants and beaches and the beach downstairs and pool were also good.
