Coastal Cutie and Beach Ready

Disappointed to not be able to see the beach. Also disappointed that beach chairs and umbrellas were advertised. The chairs were rusty and the umbrellas were both broken, and as a result blew down with every slight breeze. The garage also smelled so badly of mold that we had to leave the door up the duration of our visit duty to our allergies. Last frustration was the key situation. It has been ages since I’ve stayed somewhere that didn’t utilize a keypad for entry. Keeping up with physical keys while at the beach is no fun. Found it very frustrating on several occasions.

It was such a wonderful stay. Beautiful clean unit. Thank you.

We are long time owners at the South Seas Resort on Captiva. Due to hurricane damage, our December rental was cancelled. We booked at the Coastal Cutie hoping to salvage our holiday vacation. Sadly, we were very disappointed. Most importantly, there was nothing wrong with the rental unit. It was as described and we were pleased. However, the rental community itself was incredibly disappointing. It clearly was still in the beginning stages of repair from the hurricane(s). The unit faces a pond which STANK. We couldn't open any windows. There was no vegetation. The amenities were obselete. My husband joked that he felt like we were staying a Russian Gulag. It was grim. Our checkin was a mess. We came in after hours and picked up our information at a neighboring resort. The staff could not have been ruder. The check in information didn't include the garage passcode. We had to call after hours and waited a half hour for someone to finally respond. The wifi information on the check in sheet wasn't included. We had to call again. And when we entered the unit, there was an open bottle of wine and uneaten food on the counter. Blech. No thanks. We won't return. Definitely not worth the money we paid.

My children and I stayed here and it was just as pictured! Loved the two balconies. The garage was filled with everything we needed for the beach: umbrellas, chairs, and sand toys. Just a very short walk to beach and we were set for a day on the beach but close enough to grab anything we needed from condo at any time. The pool area was nice as well. We would definitely stay again.

This condo is the best one on the property. Believe me; I looked at them all! You don’t have to bring any beach chairs, umbrellas, or toys. There are plenty in the garage. The inside is beautifully decorated and newly remodeled with a beachy vibe. This unit is an end unit, so you get an extra balcony off the master bedroom with a nice view of the pool. Both balconies are very spacious with plenty of seating and a table on both. The ladies in the office are so friendly and helpful. I just can’t say enough good things about our stay!

The condo was exactly as the pictures. Everything great for families

WiFi wasn't working when we arrived and although management tried to fix problem (poor equipment & DSL) the connection was slow, very slow or not working during our stay. They tried other fixes, but best speed all week was 8Mbps. Couldn't stream, hard to access email, etc. Wasn't a deal breaker as we were beach-combing (best beach on island for shelling when we were there) and biking (right on trail) but would be hard if you were trying to work. Kitchen well-equipped, plenty of room in condo. Mostly quiet. Upgrade internet and it would be perfect.

Four adults enjoyed our stay at Sanibel. The condo was very clean and plenty big for us. We enjoyed the patios and playing games in the evening. Nice complex.

We celebrated my mom’s 60th birthday with a trip to Sanibel. She loved the condo and the very short walk to the beach. The condo was as pictured and clean. The staff were very helpful and it was convenient to be able to rent towels and use the beach chairs in the garage since we traveled by plane. Would definitely recommend and would stay here again!

Such a beautiful, well kept, well appointed property. Owners thought of everything, right down to labeling the light switches, and providing a towel drying rack in the lanai. Plenty of bedding for our party of 6. Kitchen well stocked with dishes and utensils and pans. Grounds are right on the beautiful beach. Bikes, shuffle board, games all readily available. Just awesome. Can't say enough good things.
