Sanibel Surfside #111: Stunning Gulf Front End Unit, 2 Lanais, Steps to Beach

**Important Update for Sanibel Surfside Reopening: We are excited to welcome you back, reopening for the first time since Hurricane Ian. While we're working hard to restore all amenities, please note that some facilities may not be available during your stay. Currently, the pool, tennis & pickleball courts, and grills are unavailable, and the beach boardwalk may not be completed by the time of your visit. We expect these amenities to be restored by mid-2025, though the exact timeline is still pending. In the meantime, guests can access the beach via a side path through Sanibel Surfside, leading to the Donax St. beach access. Please reach out to confirm pool access and any pending updates to the Sanibel Surfside complex. We appreciate your understanding as we continue to restore these amenities, and we look forward to providing you with a full Surfside experience soon! Please note that discounted rates are reflected for the foreseeable future while these amenities are still incomplete.

Lovely ocean views

We enjoyed our stay in Sanibel. The location was great and the view was beautiful. Just a short walk to the beach or pool. Good variety of beach equipment available for use. Condo was very well stocked with everything you could need during the stay. My boy complaint was the lack of curtains/window coverings in the master causing us to be up with the sun every morning.

Condo & Beach = Good Time

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Easy check in and out. Great location, clean well maintained home (thank owners) loved the beach closet full of chairs and toys. Living Room sectional starting to look a bit dated/worn. A second lounge chair or two for the living room would be a plus (current arm chair not great) Also, maybe the cable but the living room TV picture is washed out (may need replacement, now I'm being picky. Would not hesitate to re-book. THANKS

BEAUTIFUL LANAI

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Location and lanai's were excellent.Bathrooms and kitchen could use some updating, but unit had more than enough supplies.Biggest turn off was the carpet - dirty. (Understand hard to keep clean).A/C was not working when arrived on a Thurs. night. Called office 4 times on Fri (starting at 9am - left messages) and did not reach anyone until 4th try at 3pm. Repair was taken care of by 5pm.I would stay at this unit again, if carpet was removed.

Great place to relax

We loved our stay in #111. The location and view was great. The unit as well as the condo complex was clean and well maintained. The condo and furnishing were very comfortable with everything needed for a stay at the beach. We really enjoyed the privacy, quiet and covered parking. We're already thinking about our return trip!

A Relaxed Vacation in a Beautiful Location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The location was perfect for us to stroll down to the beach and relax. The morning sunrise was awesome from both balconies. The owners have gone out of their way to make the stay enjoyable by fully equipping the apartment with extras such as binoculars and beach equipment for use by guests. This is one of the nicest beach apartments we have ever stayed in.

Island Life @ Sanibel Surfside was AWESOME!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The pictures of this rental were on point. The view is perfect and just steps from the beach. Everything you need is there, from the colander for straining noodles to the beach chairs and flashlights, nothing was left out or not thought of. The property was clean, well maintained, and easy to find. Sanibel Vacations Team was available for all our needs. We arrived late at night and had some issues getting into the condo but made a quick call and received the needed input immediately. We would highly recommend this unit and are currently discussing a visit next year. Rent bikes, visit Sanibel Island Lighthouse and beach access, Jerry's is an island blessing, Love Boat ice cream, Island Cow for a great meal, and Prawnbrokers seafood. Shells everywhere. Best family vacation on record for our family!

My only small complaint with the condo is there are no blinds on sliding doors in master bedroom so sun comes up in your eyes very early. The Property Management company is beyond great!! Anytime (day or night) we called for help, we spoke to a real very very nice person who helped us remedy our issue. We will always contact this company for our stays in Sanibel Island.
