While a little dated, the accommodations were clean and cheerful. Great and quiet location. Manager was great, screened porch was pleasant. I would stay here again.
This unit was ideal, spacious, comfortable, and just a quick walk to the wonderful Sanibel beaches with a wonderful selection of shells for thepicking.
Amazing location, just a couple minute walk to the beach. Nice Beach chairs and towels provided. Comfortable beds. Soft sheets, fluffy towels. updated kitchen with stainless steel appliances, beautiful stone countertops. Updated bath. Nice hardwood floors throughout. Close to many restaurants. Owner was very attentive to questions. Would definitely stay again.
The host was excellent. Quickly answered any questions. Clean comfortable unit. Close to stores and very close to beach. Pet friendly, our dogs had a great time.
We had a great time. Very nice to get away and the private beach was perfect place to unwind. Watching sunsets and relaxing was just the ticket we needed to recharge the batteries so to speak.
Just a quick note that we were told we were staying in 301, stating it was the last lanai. This was incorrect. It was the second lanai of three lanai's in total. Also it was a bit confusing on how to open those fancy coded door locks but one of the tenet's showed us.
It might be prudent to explain how those work on the message to the tenants before they arrive.
We really enjoyed it. It was bigger than we thought. It was just 2 of us and our dog. Very comfortable inside and neat. The location is ideal, just a short walk to the beach and a short drive to many of the restaurants. We will be returning
My wife and I left this property after just 17 hours because of the following serious issues:
-Full Recycle bin right at entrance to unit!
-Musty smelling stairs
-Overwhelming disinfectant stench upon arrival and it lingered for hours
-Visible mold spores on kitchen air vent
- Visible mold spores on bathroom window frame
-Red ants swarm on living room end table
-Master bedroom rug is curled and liable for tripping
-All living room, kitchen and bedroom windows blinds have been disabled so that they cannot be adjusted
-Must bend over just to look out the living room, bedrooms windows!
-Neighbor’s window in our unit’s lanai! No privacy!
-No listing mention of this unit being the attic!
-No listing mention of stepdown in each bedroom
-Listing claims there is a bath tub. No bath tub just a shower with the shower head too tall for short people like my wife!
-Stained ironing board
-Holes, paint issues in living room and kitchen walls
-Pillows stink!
-Master bedroom bed is lumpy
Owner accused us of making too much noise in the unit when we did not even check in yet!
Had to ask owner for check-in procedure four times before we received an acceptable response!
Overall, not only is this property unacceptable, but to pay $370.833 per night is an outrage.
We reluctantly stayed the night of 8/14 because we had no where else to go. Left early the next morning- could not stand another night in this hell hole.
Took pictures for proof.
Would be happy to share them with any interested party.
It was just what my daughter and I needed, with our little dogs, very comfortable. Great short walk to the beautiful beach. Walked beach several times a day with dogs. Everyone was so nice. Thanks
Loved the property, loved the location and loved the beach wildlife! Well-appointed beach cottage~perfect for anyone’s beach vacation. We highly recommend this property & hope to have the pleasure of staying there again!
The property was adorable! I was a little hesitant when I saw was a triplex as we were having family in for a small wedding, but was such a cute little place and worked perfect.
Private beach area at end of drive was perfect for the wedding. We enjoyed our stay and will be back!
We came to Sanibel with our 3 kids and dog, looking for a safe, relaxing time near the beach to avoid doing traditional Halloween during covid. We were thrilled with our stay in this comfortable, quaint, fully equipped home. We were also impressed by how quickly Nancy replied to questions. We would stay here again in a heartbeat! Thank you for a wonderful visit!!!
Rented for 3 nights. Great location. Short walk to beach. Clean and comfortable. Nancy was very nice and responded very quickly to all of our questions. Will definitely stay there again.
We had a wonderful time. The property was very clean and convenient. We had everything we needed within a very short walk to the beach. We would come back again!

Good location
I like the location of this home very much. The place was clean, towels and bedding. I wish there was a light in the parking area, very hard to see when it was dark. I would recommend the place.

Near the beach
Good location, clean towels and sheets. The apartment was not properly clean as we arrived, and a few things was broken. We missed some basic tools in the kitchen.
