Awesome View

We are so happy that Sandalfoot is back! The condo complex looked amazing. Our unit was perfect! We loved the ocean view! Check in and check out was very easy. Love the keypad on the door so we don't have to carry a key. We look forward to coming back soon.

Beachside vacation

We had a relaxing beachside vacation at Sandalfoot. We loved that the unit was beachside with a balcony and easy access to the ocean. The unit was very clean and updated. Management was very responsive to our needs -AC went out one day and they were quick to help us get it fixed. Would definitely recommend this unit/complex to a friend and we plan to visit again.

A little Gem

This property was very clean and tidy throughout. Our view was wonderful and the ammenities were great! I only wish they had an ironing board to accommodate their iron as that would have been very useful. Other than that the view and pool will bring us back again for sure!

The Condo looked exactly as pictured and had a beautiful view of the Gulf. It was very modern and up to date. The only disadvantage we had is that we are Seniors that are used to recliners to have our legs up. The couch did not have that so it was not that comfortable for us.

Shells at Sanibel

Overall a 10 out 10 perfect score from location, space, cleanliness. Would stay again for sure. Two minor suggestions: provide a hair dryer - most people don’t travel with one. Secondly since you are on this beautiful beach provide a beach umbrella. You normally find both of these items in a beach house. As said it’s a 10 out of 10. I will be back. Thanks for sharing your place.
