The condo was just beautiful! It was clean and welcoming. We enjoyed relaxing on the deck and the short walk to the beach. The bed was very comfortable, and our host even provided beach chairs. We stayed for 2 weeks and wish we could have stayed 2 more. Really one of the best VRBO rentals.

Great stay
We loved everything about it. Wish there was some basic spices or condiments to avoid being so wasteful, but the beach accessories were awesome. So nice to have washer and dryer in the unit. Very clean space. We would be thrilled to stay again.

Perfect place
This is our second time staying at Blind Pass in this particular unit and we think it is just perfect. We love everything about the unit itself and where it is situated. We needed this family vacation so badly and had the most wonderful trip- thank you so much to the host for sharing your home with us, it is absolutely beautiful.

Great Sanibel Island Condo Getaway
Condo was very comfortable and decorated very nicely. Bedrooms were big and mattresses were comfortable. Bathrooms were small. Unit was closest to a lovely beach- a short 5 minute walk. Several Beach chairs and umbrellas and large wheeled wagon were provided. We enjoyed the pool and the tennis courts (2) and the biking trails. I would definitely rent this unit again one day.

Excellent Vacation place
I've been in Blind Pass several times and although the walk to the beach with all the stuff for a family is a little long, the peacefulness and ambience of the condominium makes it worth the effort. And perhaps that could be solved with a place to leave chairs and umbrellas in the beach for the whole week stay. Just a suggestion.
Some appliances in our unit were on time for renewal but there was lots of closet space and comfortable beds and furniture.
One extra high point was the fiber optic internet. That was awesome. Also the TV system was great.
Another high was the grill area with commercial grade grills and enough space for several families at the same time.
But the most important thing is the peace and the silence of the place. And the beach is so wide and extense that the social distance here is 200ft away. Amazing!

Beautiful place to vacation
Our vacation was perfectly wonderful and we would have loved to stay longer. The unit was clean although could use some deeper cleaning around the corners and grouting needs cleaned or replaced in master bathroom. But overall very nice and well maintained. No bugs!! The no see ums were prevalent so prepare for that!! Our only complaint about management was that they did not uphold the rules at the pool. A man (alcoholic) blue up a big green raft every day and drank countless cans of beer enticing beer pong players to join him and blasted his boom box higher than the music that was already provided and also egged on friends to play chicken in the pool. This was a huge damper on others trying to just relax and enjoy some peacefulness! Not family or kid friendly at all!! But, that’s our world today, sadly. Stock up on groceries BEFORE Ft Myers to avoid the high prices. We would certainly consider returning!!

Very nice end unit condo. Nice landscaping. Private.
I loved the property. Had trouble several times with the tv/century link. One of the blankets in the closet was covered with sand and created a mess when we took it out to use it. Otherwise, great vacation spot!

Amazing Getaway!
My husband and I stayed at this condo for our 2 year anniversary trip and it was outstanding! The location was perfect for us- We enjoyed the quiet location and being away from the traffic. The walk to the beach wasn't very far- we enjoyed the scenic path to the beach and the proximity of the unit to the shell cleaning station. We were very appreciative of all of the beach accessories provided for use- specifically the chairs, umbrellas, cooler, and the wheeled cart! We spent most of our time on Bowman's beach shelling and fishing, so having those items available for use was a huge plus! My husband caught plenty of fish, including speckled trout, and I brought home several beautiful shells, including some giant conch shells bigger than my hand! The condo itself was very clean and nicely decorated. The kitchen was well stocked with plenty of utensils, pots, pans, etc needed to cook meals at home. We loved having the opportunity to use the canoe to explore the bayou. We got some great pictures of herons, nesting ospreys, and alligators. We also spent a day at Cayo Costa through Captiva Cruises snorkeling and found several giant sand dollars. This was by far a vacation to remember and we can't wait to return!

Beautiful Family Vacation
This condo is beautiful! We loved the beach, tennis courts and pool! It was wonderful having an umbrella and beach chairs available along with buckets to collect shells. In addition there was a wheeler to take all said items to the beach. The beach is a bit of a walk yet a beautiful walk. Would definitely visit again! This condo is located in the remote area of the island. We liked that. We would definitely recommend the Shell Museum! Well worth the $15 admission. Make sure to got to the live tank talk. We rented bicycles and toured the Ding Darling Refuge too! That is a must! We love Sanibel. Can't go wrong with this rental!
