Shalimar Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent

"We will definitely be back-maybe this time with our kids!"

Newly Reopened Luxury Sanibel Island 2-bedroom condo! Steps to the Beach!

10/10 Excellent

"Gorgeous unit with everything you could possibly need. We stayed 4 nights with our kids (12, 12, 16) for 4th of July and everyone loved it. We would 100% stay here next time if it’s available. We saw dolphins, stingrays, fish, sand dollars, and a starfish at the beach. The sunsets were to die for!"

Welcoming 2-bedroom 2-bathroom condo in a secluded section of Sanibel Island

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay at Blind Pass Condo A206! The condo was spotless, beautifully maintained, and had everything we needed for a comfortable vacation. The kitchen was exceptionally well equipped, making it easy to prepare meals, and we really appreciated all the beach gear provided—chairs, umbrellas, coolers, toys, and more.The location is fantastic. It’s just a short, peaceful walk to beautiful Bowman’s Beach through the scenic nature path, and we loved seeing birds and other wildlife along the way. The pool is only a few steps away, and the entire community is quiet, relaxing, and beautifully landscaped.The beds were comfortable, the air conditioning worked perfectly, and the condo had everything exactly as described.Communication with the host was excellent from start to finish—friendly, responsive, and very helpful whenever we had a question.We truly felt at home here and would happily stay again. Highly recommend this condo to anyone looking for a peaceful, well-equipped place to enjoy Sanibel!"

"On a whim, my family decided to take a visit to the Gulf. This property was the perfect place. It was our first visit to Sanibel, and the location was excellent, perfectly situated between Captiva and shopping/restaurants in Sanibel."
