Sanibel Surfside 216: Great Location Near Beach!

This was a very nice property. Kitchen was very well equipped and beach umbrellas, chairs and coolers were great! Next to stairs and not too far from the beach.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I so enjoyed returning to Sanibel after more than 10 years! It was a relaxing time away. The condo met our needs perfectly.

Great location close to the beach. Easy access to rest of island.

We had an excellent stay! Everything at the unit had house guests in mind and it was very comfortable. The furniture is dated and well worn but seemed clean. They shampooed the carpet just before our checkin and the carpets were still pretty wet when we arrived. The beach here is fantastic and the pool is very clean and well maintained!

The condo is in a great location. No crossing roads to go to the beach. The complex had a nice pool and grilling facilities. The condo was clean and well put together. We appreciated that the kitchen was well stocked so we could cook some nice meals.

This condo did NOT disappoint! The pictures are fantastic, but really don't do it justice. The condo was very spacious, each bedroom had plenty of room, it didn't feel cramped like a hotel room usually does. The kitchen and living space was fantastic. The kitchen had all updated appliances, plenty of dishes (including kid friendly plastic ones) and cooking/serving implements- including a blender & hand mixer! We did not have to buy anything to make cooking possible, except a disposable roasting pan for our turkey, but hey it was $4 at the store, no big deal. I would say that the kitchen cooking utensils & knives themselves need to be updated. There were plenty of entertainment options including a cupboard full of family games- we found out our children LOVE Yahtzee! The cable wasn't the best, and the Netflix option was glitchy, but we didn't use that but for very short time in the evening. The books were a great addition! I found a new book to read while at the beach that was very enjoyable. The screened in porch was amazing, it was great to open to sliding windows in the morning and have a cup of coffee in the fresh air. The beds weren't the most comfortable (unless you like a good firm mattress) but they served their purpose. The sleeper couch was an added bonus for when my Father-In-Law stayed the night. The beach is a short walk down the access road, and it's beautiful, plenty of open space for everyone to spread out. The condo came with beach chairs, an umbrella, even some sand toys and a cooler! It was fantastic! Sanibel Island itself had a lot to offer- both grocery stores were great and had everything we needed- even organic options! Although I would choose Bailey's over Jerry's for better prices. There were plenty of restaurants to choose from, all with your typical kid friendly options. George & Wendy's Seafood Grille was our favorite- although you definitely want to call for a reservation! And the Lazy Flamingo & Island Cow were our next favorites! There is fishing at the Sanibel Lighthouse pier, we didn't catch anything, but it was very busy that day & windy. We have not received a toll bill for our trips off/on the island yet, so I am waiting for that- that process could be more streamlined, but VRBO has no control over it of course. Overall we had an AMAZING time, and our kids want to do it again every year!
