Sanibel Sunrises

We enjoyed a great week in Sanibel, and a big reason was our condo location. The place was an easy bike ride to Periwinkle Way, with its stores and restaurants. But the best part was the spectacular view of the Gulf! The owners provide chairs and umbrellas in the beach closet, which was also a nice touch.

Close to the beach...complex feels a bit run down

We stayed here 1 week and the condo was in good shape. Furniture was new/baths were updated and floors appeared new as well. The kitchen/appliances/kitchenware need some updating for the price charged. A couple of appliances did not work..but it was not a big deal. The pool was clean and well-attended. The "tunnel" past the storage units was a bit dirty and run down--could use some attention. We enjoyed the wagon provided by the owners to haul our stuff to the beach. I was surprised that we were expected to strip the bed and start a load of wash with linens and towels...never had to do this before; and really did not like having to do "chores" before leaving. We left the condo in immaculate condition and our deposit was refunded in a prompt manner--which was appreciated. I think with a little TLC on the outside of this building, it could be a "A" rating. The best part was how close it was to the beach...SUPER convenient.

New Favorite Place

Beautiful, Clean and quiet. Day 3 of our stay, the water heater went out. Went to pick up family at the airport and by the time we were back, a new water heater was already installed. Less than 2 hours from when I called. Fantastic service.

Wonderful location but questionable cleaning

The condo was the perfect location. An easy bike ride, walk, or very short drive to the grocery store, ice cream shop, and a handful of good restaurants. The ocean views are lovely, and the lanai balcony is very spacious. Our only complaint was the cleanliness. There was a toothbrush left in the sheets of one of the beds, making me suspect those weren't cleaned! We also had a still dirty hand towel in the master bath when we arrived. The dishwasher needs replacing, causing a handful of dishes in the cupboard to be dirty/require cleaning before use. Floors were dirty, but people probably wore shoes in the house and the floors just aren't cleaned between occupants. Everything else was wonderful, but I'd skip booking here again due to the uncertainties on what was actually cleaned before we arrived.

Steps to the beach

We enjoyed our stay at White Sands. The property was quiet, quaint and relaxing. The view from this property and convenience to the beach cannot be beat. We did have some issues with the plumbing and dryer in the unit. Some of the kitchen appliances are dated as well. However, overall, this property is lovely and it was a great week!
