About this property
1 BR Gulf Front Sanibel Condo - 25 Steps to the the Beach
Condo, 1 Bedroom +sleep sofa, 1 Bath, (Sleeps 2-4)
LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION are said to be the three most important considerations in identifying desirable real estate. On Sanibel Island this can be further defined to VIEWS, VIEWS and more VIEWS in selecting your vacation home.
At our unit A203 at the Sundial Resort, we think we have a combination of location and view that can't be beat. The unit is only 25 feet from the beach, an amenity hard to find anywhere on the Island. Located near the elbow of the Island, the views from the beach offer both inspiring morning sunrises and spectacular evening sunsets. The beach is famous for the variety of shells that are found and the surf is generally gentle and slopes gradually, making for a great swim area, especially for small children. With limited development on both sides, the atmosphere of tropical remoteness and serenity is enhanced.
To maximize the unobstructed beach and gulf views from everywhere in the condo, there are 25’ of sliding glass doors that open to the 25' screened balcony (lanai).There is a master bedroom with a king bed and a sleep-sofa in the living room. This home away from home is sparkling clean and is fully equipped. There is a washer and dryer, Wifi, and it is decorated in a tasteful Floridian theme. For your family's enjoyment, there is a 55” wall mounted TV with DVD in the living room and a 43” TV in the BR. There are beach chairs and a beach umbrella and beach toys.
We make personal use of the condo several weeks each year. As such, we furnish, decorate and equip the unit to the standards required to make it a comfortable second home. The kitchen is fully equipped with modern appliances. You will also find an ample supply of dishes, cookware, utensils, dishtowels and other kitchenware to meet all your needs. The dining room comfortably seats four and opens to the living room, the lanai and the spectacular ocean view. All linens and bath towels are provided and there is a washer and dryer in the unit. We try to include a starter supply of many staples, so you don’t have to run to the store as soon as you arrive and don’t have to buy a month’s supply of something for a one-week stay. These include items like soap, toilet paper, dish and laundry detergent, paper towels and much more.
If you have never been to Sanibel, we believe you will find it to be a unique and tropical vacation destination. If you are a returning visitor, we invite you to consider our Sanibel home for your vacation. In either case, we believe you will be very happy with your choice.
SPECIAL PRICING: Inquire about last minute weekly reservations for savings up to 40% on a Sat-Sat stay. During the four weeks prior to any arrival date, I will discount an additional 10% each week. That's 10% if booked 4 weeks in advance, 20% if booked 3 weeks in advance, 30% - 2 weeks in advance and 40% - 1 week in advance. Please call owner prior to booking

About the host
Hosted by David Herrick
Hi, my name is Dave Herrick. My wife Sandy and I live on Lake Winnipesaukee in southern NH. We have been coming to Sanibel for over 40 years. We originally owned a condo in the 80s which we, unfortunately sold in 1992. Ever since then, we had been hoping to be able to someday re-establish an ownership position on the Island.
During the 80s we made Sanibel our annual vacation, usually over the Holidays to coincide with school vacations for our three boys. Sometimes we had Christmas trees and boats in tow. Sometimes it was grandparents joining us to escape the Boston cold. On every occasion, it was a trip we all looked forward to with excitement and anticipation. My kids learned to swim on Sanibel. This is where they saw their first alligator in the wild. We took daily bike rides on the miles of bike paths and explored the wildlife at the numerous sanctuaries. Sometimes we just walked the beach at low tide and talked about whatever interesting shells we found. Overall, Sanibel became a very special place in our lives. It became a place we all enjoyed together; a difficult concept to achieve in a diverse and growing family. During the nineties, we missed our southern sojourns, but with the kids involved in school activities and moving on to college, it became increasingly difficult to schedule family trips. Interestingly, the kids, now married with families and embarking upon their own lives and careers, have rekindled their memories and attraction to the Island.
In 2004 we purchased a unit at Oceans Reach Resort and in 2016 we bought a second unit at the Sundial Resort. Our desire is to establish high quality, well maintained units to which our guests will want to return to year after year. You can view both these units at www.sanibelretreats.com.
We are looking forward to this new phase in our life and to sharing our Sanibel homes with our children, grandchildren and with other new and returning visitors.

Why they chose this property
Without question, the greatest attraction of Sanibel is the endless beach, producing a new harvest of shells with each new tide. Sanibel is known as the shelling capital of the world. While other beaches may have better or more sand, higher dunes or other favored characteristics, there is something about the totally tropical experience of walking the beach at Sanibel. The combination of magnificent views and a shoreline that brings a new population of shells with every tide is rivaled only by the grace and beauty of the pelicans and gulls in the sky. The dolphins playing in the surf produce a serenity and solitude that is unmatched anywhere.
If outdoor sports are your priority, enjoy the three island golf courses and several championship courses nearby. Tennis and pickleball courts are readily available and there are miles of bike paths on Sanibel on which you can explore the Island. For the nature lover there is the Ding Darling Wildlife Sanctuary offering rare sightings of tropical birds, alligators and other wildlife. There is also the Bailey Tract and many other nature/preserve lands to explore.
