Blind Pass Condos at Bowman's Beach E201 on beautiful Sanibel Island

Even though the walk to the gulf is longer than most, crossing the bayou provided manatee and alligator sightings. The canoes and kayaks were fun and easy to check out. The condo was very comfortable and the kitchen was well appointed.

Beautiful condo, great amenities, perfect location! Can't ask for more!!

Arrived at check-in to find cleaning lady and her child just starting to clean. She could not speak English, but through sign language, she allowed us to at least store our perishable food in the fridge. Her young son spoke some English and told me they would be done in about 40 minutes. We had been up and on the road since 3 AM, so this wasn't much of a first impression. I went to car and called office number. They were very good and sent head of maintenance over. He went up to condo, then came down and said she would be done in 10 minutes?? Said he would get others to help??? Ok. We decided to walk down to beach and came back about 40 minutes later. Room appeared to be done, but in spending time there, we noticed some areas were pretty dirty. Cups and dishes put in the cabinets without being washed, toothpaste on the wall in the bathroom, thick layer of dust on the blinds, a used mask left under the couch, food stuck on glass dining table, etc. The linens seemed off too. I ended up relaundering them all. The linens the cleaning person removed from our unit sat on the porch outside our door for 4 days before being picked up. New linens were left in bags outside our door two days before we left. With the humidity, etc. This might explain why the sheets and towels seemed off to us. We attempted to go to the grill area once, but there was a large group there playing Spanish music very loudly. We opted to bake the food in the kitchen instead. I will say that the kitchen was well supplied with cookware, etc, but we had to make sure we washed everything very well before using. We couldn't get out of our parking area one night because someone without a permit parked along the fence behind us. We noticed a lot of cars doing this throughout the week. Didnt seem like there was anyone monitoring. Beach was nice. Pool was nice, but a little crowded the days we thought of using it, so we just went to beach. We've stayed at a few different places over the years. Sadly, this was the worst and the only one I've ever given a negative review of ever. Wont be returning.

Property was close to beach and had great amenities, condo itself was warm and inviting.

Property as advertised. Central location to both Sanibel and Captiva. Well appointed condominium in a really cool environmental area. Manatees, alligators, bald eagle, snakes and more. Not so busy beach with beautiful sunsets, but it’s a 10 minute walk or so. Nice pool and tennis courts. No restaurants or shops in reasonable walking distance. No cleaning supplies Greatest disappointment was this unit does not have a porch or lanai of any kind. Otherwise great stay and would consider again.

Perfect location for beautiful beach access. Pool, kayaks and tennis kept us busy. Great access to bike trails too. Friendly staff and met lots of families and new friends for our kids. Will definitely rent here again. Highly recommend for anyone that enjoys nature, beach and a quieter area of Sanibel island.

Amazing!! This was by far my family's best trip. The condo is so clean and very tastefully decorated . Very comfortable . The pool was great we spend our mornings there and our afternoons at the beach which is just a short walk from the condo . We saw manatees while going over the bridge that connects the condo to the ocean , my kids are still talking about it ! We went canoeing in the river and saw flying fish . It really was the best vacation ever. We will be down again next year!!

This condo was one of the best we have ever stayed at. Had everything we needed plus more! Great location and friendly owner. We would absolutely love to stay here again!

This place is the perfect setting for any type of vacation. Beautiful, semi private beach exploding with shells!! It is an easy and picturesque walk from the condo, where you will pass the tennis courts and walk over a bridge where alligator and pelican sightings are likely. The beach has relatively calm, warm waters making it easy to swim and fish. The pool is quiet and clean for when you need a break from the beach. There are also countless paths for biking, hiking and sightseeing surrounding the complex to easily experience Florida's unique ecosystem. When you are looking to return to the indoors this condo is particularly cozy. My family especially liked that the bedrooms are on opposite sides of the condo so that my parents could go to sleep a little later and not risk waking the baby. There are also two finished bathrooms (one with a Jacuzzi tub) which was necessary for the 6 people we had staying there. The kitchen is fully equipped and the condo also has a full washer/dryer for anyone who has an extended stay or has young kids. The condo is conveniently located by Captivas bridge so it is a short drive to both the main attractions on Captiva and Sanibel, the best of both worlds! In brief, this is the perfect location for a family vacation, quiet girls weekend or a romantic getaway. You will leave feeling refreshed and have seashell souvenirs to last a life time!
