A beautiful get away

Had everything we needed. The only disappointment was the beach at high tide...very little beach to put a chair down...the hurricane had passed through & it took the Gulf 5 days to calm down, Making it rough & more like the Atlantic Ocean!

Comfortable and on the beach

It’s hard to imagine getting any closer to the beach. On the first floor with the waves less than 50 yards away and nothing obstructing the view. The bedrooms and bathrooms are spacious and comfortable (admittedly, we only used the master BR). The kitchen, eating area and living room is all open and very comfortable. The lanai in front would have been great, but it was a bit too hot and humid when we were there (even at the end of October). Wifi was strong and dependable. An excellent property that’s also convenient to shops and restaurants on Sanibel. We’d gladly return!

.......Almost Heaven

We absolutely loved this condominium. The furnishings were tasteful, colorful and beautiful. The kitchen was very well equipped. Modern, new appliances. I could have spent the week in the gorgeous lanai. The proximity to the water was beyond expectations. To be on the ground floor and walk out the back door and be on the small private beach was wonderful. We hope to return next winter.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Sandy Bend and wish we had stayed longer. It was clean, beautifully remodeled and decorated, and only steps from the beach! The location was so nice. Quiet yet a short distance from anywhere we needed to get in Sanibel. We cannot wait to visit again!

Rented Sandy Bend 3 and it was amazing! The property was clean, the furnishings were very tasteful and we were literally steps from the beautiful, uncrowned beach! Had everything we needed so it felt like home away from home! Communication with Kingfisher, the property management team, was top notch and the contactless checkin was very easy. I plan to return and can’t wait to go back!

Best location in Sanibel!

We simply loved the property! Super convenient location, oceanfront with a SUNSET beach! We had the most amazing time with our family. The house was super clean, the staff were very friendly and helpful. We were steps away from the ocean. We already recommended to all our friends and we will definitely come back next year! :)

Liked the location and condo set up. Right on beach. Good gulf views. Neighbors friendly. Only downside was tropical storm Barry . Nothing to do with condo. Just limited beach time. Would stay there in the future.

Beautiful property and great location!

This property could not have been nicer or more convenient! Everything was super clean and updated. The kitchen literally had every utensil and pan we could have thought of...and more! The area of the beach that the condo is on is towards the end of the condo/hotel strip and just before the private homes begin, so it was not super crowded. Although not in the description of the property (at least that I saw), there is a washer/dryer. Also, the condo complex has lounge chairs for the guests that you can drag down to the beach to use. That was really handy! Totally recommend renting bikes because the bike paths were awesome and this condo is a quick ride to the shops/stores in Sanibel. Would not have needed a pool except we were down when there was a Red Tide, so we missed having a pool a little. However, during normal conditions, the close location to the beach is perfect. We will be back!

Sweet Time In Sanibel

A beautifully appointed, very clean, and elegantly updated vacation rental that is just foot steps from the beach. This unit proved very comfortable for a family of four with space to spread out, yet a living room area which proved great for an evening of games together. Everything was very clean and appeared virtually new and in perfect working order. We met several owner (neighbors) who were very friendly and helpful to suggest the best restaurants, activities, and bike paths around the island. Biking on the wonderful bike paths proved an unexpected bonus. It was a great way to get around and see everything on a slower pace while avoiding the sometimes congested roads. Oh, and thanks for the great WiFi. Not one complaint from the kids... Also allowed me to keep up on my work... We would certainly return to Sandy Bend #3!

LOVED IT!

We have been to Sanibel a couple of times and are seriously considering retiring there is a year or two. We loved this unit! The location was fantastic, the remodeling was beautiful, the fact that we could walk right out onto the beach without stairs was more than a little convenient, etc... We also liked that the building was small and intimate, not a large complex. Can't say enough about how much we enjoyed it. The only thing my husband missed was not having a pool or access to one. The weather was so cool and windy though that he wouldn't have used it anyway. Hope to be back soon....possibly for out house hunt.
