HOME FEATURES The moment you walk into Compass Point 181, you'll be taken away by the unobstructed and breathtaking views of the Gulf of Mexico, right from your living room and private lanai. Here you can enjoy the smell of the ocean salt in the air, the sound of the waves crashing ashore and the most beautiful views of Sanibel's wildlife. This two-bedroom, plus den, can sleep up to six guests and is a rarity of the Compass Point complex. Whether it's pelicans diving down to catch their morning meals or a pod of dolphins swimming by, you'll truly enjoy the tranquility and peacefulness of this condo without ever feeling like you’re in a condo complex. You will have access to a storage closet, parking spot and elevator just steps from the front entrance, making it easy and convenient for your luggage, groceries and beach equipment.
As you walk into the condo you’ll notice a den area (considered 3rd bedroom) off to your left and from the kitchen that is perfect for younger children with a queen sleeper sofa, a TV and a dresser armoire. Across from the den area is the guest bedroom that features a king bed, a TV and a shared hallway bathroom. Walking further into the condo you’ll enter the spacious kitchen and living area that is tastefully decorated and updated with tropical and lavish touches. Off from the living room is the primary bedroom that features, not only a king bed and ensuite bathroom, but also has exquisite views of the Gulf as well.
If you’re not enjoying the beach, take a dip in the complex’s heated pool, play a game of tennis/shuffleboard or enjoy grilling out by the BBQ grills. Compass Point has so much to offer for your entire family. Unit 181 is truly the cherry on top with its beautiful views, updates and access to everything you need to make those lasting memories.

Family spring break
We love Sanibel and we were very excited to come back after a 7 years. Beach and pool in great shape, very nice condo, some inconsistent messaging with one room advertised to have 2 king sized beds, which was incorrect leading to one of our kids sleeping on a couch. Property grounds still a work in progress with minimal landscaping (understood given hurricane recovery). Condo was very nicely furnished, new appliances and very clean, beach closet well stocked with nice chairs and umbrella.

Great location on island, easy to get to beach and pool
Great condo for our family of 6! Loved tree property greenery and beach. Only thing we would change would be the pillows and the sheets kept coming off the master bed because the mattress cover was so thick

Great Week in Sanibel
We had a wonderful stay at Compass Point # 181. The week after memorial day is perfect for weather and less crowds. The condo was very roomy with lots of space to spread out and the kids enjoyed the downstairs TV area for rainy evenings. The storage closet also had all the chairs, floats, etc. we needed. Great beach with lots of room!

Awesome condo on beach
We had a wonderful week at Compass Point 181. The unit was beautiful and the complex small and very nice. The pool area was beautiful! Only downside is that the dryer broke on Tues and they were not able to fix it during our stay. The management company was wonderful and dropped off extra towels, sheets and beach towels for us since we couldn’t dry anything. It would be nice to add plastic wine glasses to the kitchen to take to the pool.

Great family condo
The condo served us well for Thanksgiving week. We we’re able to use the table leaf to seat 9 for our turkey dinner. ( rented 2 condos for sleeping). The cabana was a total hit with the 3 preteens and provided a convenient bathroom close to the beach.
Very comfortable accommodations!
Plenty of beach chairs, boogie boards, a wagon & other fun items in the storage unit.
