I will preface this review by saying this unit was clearly updated with entirely new furnishings and finishes, presumably needed due to damage from Hurricane Ian. The overarching takeaway from our stay is this: the unit has one of the best locations & waterfront views of any place we've stayed on Sanibel, and we've been coming here for 17 years now. It is clean, has all the basics you would need, and it was even better than what was pictured (some photos hadn't been updated to reflect the new furnishings yet).
I just want to mention a couple of things of note (as of 9/28/24) for future renters. These in no way take away from the value of the stay:
Amenities list beach towels but we did not find any in the unit, so make sure to bring your own. There are 4 nice reclining beach chairs. There are 2 beach umbrellas and 1 auger. The kitchen is fully equipped; the coffee maker is a dual machine & we left plenty paper filters there, but you can use k-cups too. There were no paper towels provided so keep that in mind. Some outlets are a little loose so I was glad I brought an extension cord. The wifi is fast, beds are comfy, plenty of extra blankets if needed.
There is nothing negative to say about this rental. The owner even reached out to us offering us to stay there longer for no additional charge if our travel was affected by Helene, which was just so generous. We already said we would book this beautiful unit first in the future before even looking elsewhere!
