I love that this place is walking distance from the beach. Although we didn't make it in the area sooner I received a text that it was available to check in hours before time! Only complaint is there were knats in the kitchen.. lots.
The place was within walking distance to the beach and awesome shelling. The unit was nice but I wouldnât stay there with kids due to many spindles being missing from the staircase. Also, issue with the WiFi but was told to use another units WiFi and password and it worked. Saw manatees, jumping mullets and iguanas. Perfect for adults to unwind.
We had a lovely week in Sandpiper. The location is fantastic, and itâs fun to be on the canal we saw manatees every day. Very comfortable and clean condo.
Let me start by saying that we've been to Sanibel many times - it's one of our favorite places. We've rented all over the island.Property is in a great location. It's near many restaurants, shops, markets, etc. (within a 5 min drive). Very short walk to the stunning beach. Property management company was outstanding to work with, and check-in/check-out was flawless. Unit offers everything you need.The only issue was the condition of the unit. The vertical blinds in the living room were broken and missing most parts, so closing them offered zero privacy. Given the shared deck in the back, that wasn't comfortable for us. Railing going upstairs was missing many spindles, so be careful with small children until it's fixed. Worn furniture, but nothing that would turn you off and should be expected with a frequent rental in a beach community. Overall, a great option. Once these few things are fixed, it's a great place to vacation. Be sure and speak with the management company for specifics - again, they were fantastic to work with and highly recommended.
We were a little disappointed. The downstairs had obviously been redone, but a lot of the slats from the downstairs blinds were missing and the outlet in the downstairs bathroom was sticking out of the wall. Needed to hold on to it to plug/unplug anything. The bed spread and extra blanket smelled bad in the master bedroom. The toilet upstairs sounded like it would exploade as it refilled. The carpet in the upstairs bathroom was dirty. I understand it takes a lot to come back from the hurricane, but some of these things are pretty easy fixes.
Condo has been nicely updated. However only on space per condo for parking and they are not marked. We came home early New Years Eve and all spots were taken. Luckily we knew others on island and could park at their house and walk but was definitely an inconvenience. Their are 4 condors and room for 5 cars- all were taken
Very short walk to a nice beach where the fishing was outstanding. Canal very handy in the back yard for a boat. Minimal furniture, for example nothing to set a suitcase on, but essentials were there. It was very clean and smelled fresh. The main bed was comfortable. We didn't use the twine.
Great location! We found tons of good shells at the beach there! Beds were comfortable and AC was nice and cool! Great view of water. We saw dolphins and a manatee. Plenty of places to walk your dog. If you are interested in a fishing excursion, they will pick you up at the dock behind the unit. They are still working on units from hurricane damage, but any issues are addressed! Would stay here again!
Impressed with the facade, after inspection not so much!
Impressed with the facade, after inspection not so much. Very poor workmanship on the stair rail, cut my hand going up the stairs, sharp edge on end of railing, poorly equipped kitchen for cooking meals, sewage smell in sink and dish washer. I always think the owners should spend a night in their homes prior to renting, how about hooks in the bathrooms to hang essentials, kitchen equipment that is, useful for preparing meals. On the good side ground are nicely landscaped and excellent location to the beach.
The rental was beautiful, clean, and near the beach. Everything was brand new. The location was perfect, by our favorite portion of Sanibelâs beach. It had everything we needed, and even provided beach chairs. Hopefully next year this place will be available to rent again. I canât imagine staying anywhere else in the island.
Location can not be beat if you are looking for sand & Ocean view. There are a walkable restaurants & a trolley to take a short (10min) ride to St Pete Beach for more options. This condo is clean. There is a maintenance person at the building everyday and the grounds are kept up as well. The Owner was incredibly fast in all communications and proactive.
We really enjoyed our time at this place. It was clean, comfortable, and attractive. The backyard facing the water and so pretty and we even saw a dolphin! The communication with the manager was prompt and easy.
