Another wonderful trip
Sanibel island is awesome and this condo didn’t disappoint. We love Sanibel siesta. It’s our second year there but first year in this unit. The beach at Sanibel siesta is a very short walk with lots of shells and sand dollars. We even saw a nine armed starfish. The staff is fanatastic. The unit is great and has 2 balconies and a bunk bed nook which many of the other units at this place do not have. It is well stocked with kitchen supplies and we kept finding blankets and towels etc which was good. The unit has a garage for one vehicle and had everything we needed for the beach. We did bring out canopy for shade but that’s it. They had chairs, wagon, etc. great unit with great beach. Bring snorkel gear. Rent a bike and enjoy.

Great vacation. Too Short
The condo interior was better than expected. Pleasantly surprised. Appearance of property wasn’t the great but after a few days it was actually better than first expected.
She’ll hunting was great but unfortunately water clarity was less than expected.
Overall a fun trip.
