Ultimate Sanibel Beachfront! Island Beach Club, Top Floor, West-Facing, End Unit

10/10 Excellent

"My girlfriends and I had the best getaway thanks to Barry and Fran’s condo! The location can’t be beat, steps to the sand and water. The unit itself is beautiful and has to be the most well stocked VRBO I’ve ever stayed in. The hosts are incredibly thoughtful in regards to their home but also the communication they provide. Top tier hosts and we couldn’t be happier!"

10/10 Excellent

"My best friend of 30 years and I celebrated our recent retirement at this unit and had the time of our lives. We loved it! The owners have truly gone out of their way to make sure your vacation experience is as enjoyable and comfortable as possible. The unit was clean, the kitchen and bathrooms were well equipped, and the bedding and furniture were very comfortable.If you're flying in, don't worry about having to pack all your beach supplies. The storage unit in the parking area is stocked with everything you could need, including beach chairs, umbrellas, kneeboards, and a beach wagon. The wagon was also convenient for bringing groceries from the car up to the unit.We loved relaxing on the screened-in lanai overlooking the beautiful courtyard and pool area. We explored all over Sanibel and Captiva, but we consistently found ourselves preferring the beach right in front of the condo. The beach had an amazing variety of shells, and honestly, the biggest problem was deciding which ones to keep so we didn't go over the airline's weight limit!We had a wonderful stay and would absolutely recommend this unit to anyone looking for a clean, comfortable, well-equipped condo in a great location."
