Nice quiet getaway

Good things: Beautiful view. Not crowded. Pool directly below unit to watch kids from room balcony. Excellent layout of living space. New beach chairs, wagon, umbrella. Washer and dryer worked well. Kitchen stocked with necessary tools. Property managers go above and beyond. Bad things: southern Florida experienced unusual rainfall so driveway and pool deck flooded. Managers were extremely helpful with bringing stepping blocks to keep us out of the water and checking on us. They had a backup property ready if we needed to move. Even with the flooding I loved this place and the service the managers provided. Would stay here again.

Bandy Beach Rental 201A

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This property is large, was clean, and had comfortable beds. The tvs were great except the cable was unreliable. The complex was under construction, so noisy, but we knew that going in. The furniture is very old, dated and not comfortable with the exception of a recliner. The decor was very drab and unappealing. I think for the money the owners could put in a little more effort and make the interior more attractive. I would not rent this unit again.

This is the place to go and the place to stay.

Grounds Flooded

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very unhappy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our family of six come to Sanibel regularly as a much anticipated and favorite family vacation getaway. We are long time clients of Sanibel Holiday and have stayed at this Bandy Beach condo several times in the past with good experiences. However, this time, when our flight arrived late Saturday night, we were disappointed to find our condo grounds flooded and dirty due to heavy rains the previous week. The parking lot and entire pool area had several inches of dirty stagnant water that we had to walk through in order to get to condo. The elevator was flooded. The internet was poor. Our family has two online university students that were unable to access classes due to weak wifi. The next morning and Monday was more of the same with beach access having mid-calf dark colored water to walk through in order to get to beach. We felt these conditions were very unpleasant and unsafe so we went to Sanibel Holiday first thing Monday morning to notify them of the same. They called owner and we were able to let us move to another condo at a Blue Gulf location on Tuesday. With a family of six, the move took most of the day to get all packed, carry luggage through water, condo cleaned, bikes moved, and then unpacked again but at least we were now able to utilize parking lot, pool, and beach access without walking through flood waters.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. 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: Stayed a week in Feb. Love the 2 master bedroom setup which worked great for a family of 4 and family of 2. Pool is quiet. Gas grill appreciated. Association is quiet. Lovely skylights.Excellent view and location. A bit pricey. Only concern of my daughter's was that there was mold on the ceiling drywall near the air vent in the twin bedroom. I presume it may have been from A/C condensation over time. We did not report it, but management may want to address it.

Overall, we had a good stay but,...

Rating Details: The property manager was very 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: ...the cost was not commensurate with the value. I have stayed in this unit before and it is starting to feel "shabby." I expected more. The amenities, dish towels, soaps, etc. were frugal and of marginal quality and there were no hot pads. Two of the gas burners on the gas grill were not working. The beach chairs were definitely past their prime. The toilet in the second bathroom has a slow leak. The periodic water and electrical outages were inconvenient. This review is for YOUR EYES ONLY, NOT TO BE PUBLISHED ONLINE OR OTHERWISE. I have loved staying at Bandy Beach in the past and I hope to stay there once again someday, but it requires some improvements for the cost. I expected more. I would not recommend this property to anyone AT THIS COST.

Great Location, view and Space, but not worth the cost!

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Rented this place for our family to enjoy after a long 18months with COVID not traveling. The location, space of the condo and view are amazing! But extremely disappointed by the amenities. The kitchen was stocked with mixed matched dishes that many had stains or chips in them. Small appliances like the can opener was all rusted. Most of the furniture was past it’s life span like the mattresses, couches and outdoor patio furniture. The furniture felt like it should be in a cabin not a high end condo on the beach. The heated pool NEVER worked the whole week. Call the management company a few time throughout the week to get it fixed since We were traveling with our 3 kids. The pool never was fixed, and was colder than the ocean in November. When we checked into the location the management company said the AC wasn’t really working and would be fixed in a day or two. The AC was never fixed, and thankfully it wasn’t to warm but only2 days to really need the AC. Overall, this condo wasn’t worth the amount they were charging. We would go down the road to a different location for the same rate with a better view on the ocean.

Great stay!

Overall, great stay. It was our first time in Sanibel and would definitely go back. The 2nd floor view was great! Kitchen was great for meals in. Beds were comfortable. Washer and dryer worked fine. The sofa and recliners in living room will likely need replaced shortly, but are serviceable....but who needs a sofa and chair when you have a lanai with a beach view?!?!?! Our family had great times on the lanai! The property is also 1/2 mile from the lighthouse. Visit the lighthouse area during lower tide to see sea snails, horseshoe crab, etc., along with collecting sea shells and spotting other wildlife.
