Quiet Getaway

My wife and I stayed here for 4 nights and couldn't have been more pleased. Condo was clean and perfectly furnished. Quiet and peaceful on the island which is exactly what we wanted. Walk to the beach was easy and once on the sand it never felt crowded. Overall a great experience and we will be back for sure.

Siesta time

The property was clean and very well kept and quiet, which is what we needed. The front desk personnel were wonderful, on the phone and in person, they were welcoming and accomodating. This place was the perfect spot on the island to go to relax or just go for a walk on the beach. It was also close proximity to stores and restaurants. we would definitely go back.. The only thing that would need improvements are the bikes they have for rent.

Nice place

The facility itself was very good, but we liked the beaches and restaurants at the other end of the island and captiva much better. There's not a thing wrong with this location or its restaurants and other ammenities- it's just personal preference. We always stay were we can see the ocean from our balcony. I couldnt find any available units here , so I definitely missed that.

Great Getaway

We had a wonderful experience for a 5-night getaway! Place was very clean, staff very friendly and helpful, and enjoyed having use of the beach lounge chairs and umbrella. We didn't actually use any of the amenities (pool, shuffleboard, grills), but if we were staying longer, we would have taken advantage of those as well. Very happy with our purchase!

We loved the condo. It was well equipped and very comfortable for two couples.

We got there after 5 and had a really hard time finding the resort "next door" to get our key. Maybe a map would have helped. If we had gotten there after dark it would have been a big problem. We also didn't realize we wouldn't have a water view or be closer to the beach. Other than that we had a great time. The beds were comfortable and the couches and TV were well arranged. We liked having the lanai table to sort out shells . We would come back.

This was an amazing place to stay on Sanibel with our family!

We stayed here for the first time and we weren’t sure what to expect. We had everything we needed for our stay that was supplied at the condo. The office staff is very friendly and accommodating! The property including the pool were very well maintained and clean. We have all voted to return annually to the same unit each year. It’s nice to find a place on the beach that is so comfortable and has a friendly staff. Very impressed and we will return!

Comfortable, clean room at Sanibel Siesta

Our family had a great trip to Sanibel Siesta. This is a very simple property but it's clean, well maintained and on the beach. Customer service is excellent. Unit 104 was very nice, comfortable, clean and had everything we needed. We had one maintenance issue, but they took care of it immediately. Free tennis racquets for use by guests and bike rentals on property for a reasonable price. The bikes weren't in great condition but they got the job done! The only thing missing is a tiki bar by the pool to buy drinks. We'd love to come back though!

Friendly staff, beautiful location.

The condo was just what was needed for a few peaceful days on Sanibel. One of the few places I’ve found that allows you to book less than a week. The extra large Master bedroom had plenty of room for the baby’s crib which we rented from Island Rentals. The condo was fresh and clean. The pool was warm and the beach was close!
