Sanibel Island is one of our favorite vacation destinations and Shell Island Beach Club has become our favorite property to stay! The complex is immaculate and well maintained. The condo was also immaculate! We had an issue with the master bathroom toilet not working but we called the office and the issue was promptly resolved. All of the comforts of home are provided! The view from the lanai is wonderful, we were able to watch dolphins, pelicans, boats and people on the beach. We were very happy with the property and I'm sure we will be returning!

Reviewer Comments:
First floor of unit is parking, so although unit is on second floor, you have to climb three flights to the unit. The unit is quiet and clean. There is a screened in balcony facing the beach. One bedroom has two single beds, the other has a queen or king. Master has huge walk in shower. Fifth guest can sleep on pull out couch. It sleeps four adults comfortably. If you have small children, five or six people is reasonable. Kitchen is well equipped with utensils. The grounds are very nice. An unexpected hit with my family was the shuffleboard courts, which were great. Pool was the nicest I've seen in this type of unit. Heated and clean. Very big also. Lighthouse grill is within walking distance and great restaurant. Bikes are all around the property. Some work, others don't. You have to pick and choose. Overall very satisfied with experience. I would rank 9 of 10 stars.

Reviewer Comments:
This was the third year that we have rented this particular condo. The owner has been great to deal with. The view from the lanai is breathtaking. The kitchen comes fully equipped with fairly new appliances. We were able to cook meals frequently, although we do enjoy eating at Sanibel's restaurants. The unit includes the use of free bicycles. Many places on the island are within walk or biking distances. We only used the car a handful on times in our three weeks on the island.The only issues we had were a soft mattress and lack of beach chairs. My wife has back issues which require a firm mattress.

Reviewer Comments:
Our vacation was even better than we expected. Everything, including, the weather was terrific. The only downside was the fact that we were told we could rent the same property for the same period next year if we notified the rental agency shortly after we arrived which we did only to find that it was not available. The agency should have found that out before so we did not have false expectations.

Reviewer Comments:
We had a wonderful stay at 7C; the condo was beautiful, very clean and extremely spacious. The master bedroom has a large bathroom with a huge walk-in shower, double sink vanity and a private toilet. The second bedroom has 2 twin beds. Both bedrooms have TVs. There is another full bathroom (tub shower) off the second bedroom/living room. A starter package of supplies is provided (toilet paper, paper towels, kitchen soap, laundry soap, etc). You will need to bring your own bathroom toiletries. This condo had a hairdryer in both bathrooms yet only 1 of them worked. There are many movies and games provided for the evenings or raining afternoons. There are also beach chairs and sand toys in the second bedroom closet. There are many steps up to this condo but the view is worth it. Parking is provided under the building which is really convenient when it is raining. There are bicycles provided and you can use them any time. There are bike paths across the whole island so I highly recommend using the bikes. We took the bikes all over the island, placing them in the bike racks and they were always where we left them (no bike lock needed). The office on property will "check out" beach towels at $10 each which is return when you return the towels. The gulf and the bay are both a short walk from the condo. There is a shell washing station and a feet/body shower on the way to the beach. I highly recommend staying at the Shell Island Beach Club 7C!

Very, very clean. Everything in working order. Kitchen well stocked. Nice to have the 2nd bathroom. Within a block distance to a restaurant we liked for breakfast and one of my favorite island shops for sports clothing. We prefer this side of the island as it is quieter. I highly recommend this property.

This was the perfect place for our vacation! A very nice condo with the master bedroom in front where you could see the light house blinking at night and wake up to the sun rising and feel the cool breezes from the golf and hear the surf. The king size mattress felt like a cloud. Great shelling and very nice beach and pool. Just a perfect little piece of heaven!

A super condo with an outstanding view
Sea Shell Island 7C is in a great location! The unit is well furnished, the kitchen has all the necessities and the gulf view is fabulous. The unit is on the 3rd floor and there is no elevator, so you definitely get exercise climbing the stairs. One negative is the bathrooms, mainly the showers, need to be upgraded. Overall, I’d rent the unit again

We were very comfortable in our Shell Island vacation home! It was perfectly clean and well appointed with all our needs. The view was incredible- the screened in porch was a dreamy coffee spot to take in the sights and sounds. We could see the beautiful ocean, the swimming pool and even the top of the lighthouse. The kitchen layout was convenient for cooking and we enjoyed having the community grills for use. The bedrooms were comfortable and there was ample drawer space and closet hangers. We appreciated ensuite laundry and clothes drying rack on the patio. The resort grounds were also very well maintained. We enjoyed the swimming pool, the boardwalk to the beach with showers to rinse off sand, the car park under our building and all surrounded by lush, tropical landscaping. It was hard to leave! Thank you!

7C is in a great location with a beautiful view of the beach. Unit was very clean and had pretty much everything we would need. Beach chairs were provided and complex office has beach towels/umbrellas and complimentary bikes for use as well as tennis equipment and games/puzzles. Stairs to unit must be noted for those with mobility issues. Sanibel Holiday was wonderful to rent from through the whole process.
Our family had an awesome week in Sanibel and this property was a big reason why! Everything was clean, well stocked and although the stairs are a climb the views make it so worth it! You can see the beach, pool & lighthouse and that constant backdrop makes it truly feel like a relaxing vacation in paradise!
