FULLY RESTORED! Rare Walkout Condo On Sanibel Beach

10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (84)
"Of course the area was not pristine but they have been thru alot of hurricanes and besides we weren't there to admire the grounds. We found shells larger than ever found. The beach is covered with them. There were really good places to eat. Timbers was a favorite. There is easy access to a nice pool. The rooms were very clean. Decorations very nice. Totally enjoyed it. Communication so easy and supportive -- even for an old techno dummie like me. Totally appreciated."

"This lovely condo was just as we remembered…..breathtaking. We loved watching the dolphins while sitting on the couch or on beach with our feet in the waves. Shelling was amazing too this year as was the pool! We feel blessed every time we come back here!"
