Sanibel Surfside DIRECT GULF FRONT Condos

We have been vacationing in Sanibel for about 30 years. This was the BEST condo we have rented. Great view, nicely furnished, and well maintained. It is a bit more money than others, but you do get what you pay for with this unit.

This was our third stay at Sanibel Surfside 122 and our best ever! The owners really have thought of everything to make your stay a positive experience. The condo was immaculate when we checked in. Kudos to the new rental agency, Sanibel Vacations. Very easy to work with and great customer service! We love Sanibel Island, we love this condo, and we will definitely come here to stay again!

The property manager was very helpful.The vacation rental was spotless.I was very happy with the location.I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental.Overall, I recommend this vacation rental.Reviewer Comments:Our family stayed for a week in Sanibel Surfside #111 here and it was absolutely perfect! I almost don't want to tell people so we can always have the unit available! The location on the island is great and the ocean and pool are just steps from your door. The unit was beautiful and super clean! We loved all of the Windows and lanai to watch the sun and moon rise. You can't go wrong with this one! And the rental company was simply a pleasure to work with. It was so easy!

Reviewer Comments:This rental had an exceptional view and was very comfortable. The rental company also lends quality bikes, and we had them dropped off and picked up, which was incredibly convenient. Location was excellent. We rode our bikes nearly everyday to explore natural areas, farmers market, and restaurants. You will not be disappointed with this choice!!

My wife and I just returned home from our week long vacation. This condo delivered on every level. The views were glorious. The condo itself was very clean and had everything you could ask for. The Wi-Fi worked great. Loved sitting on the lanai under the ceiling fans enjoying the view and listening to the waves. You are so close to the beach. We saw dolphins on several different days. We also collected some very nice shells from the beach. Looking forward to returning again in the future.Thanks again for sharing your condo with us.

We just came back from a week in this wonderful condo. It was our first time to Sanibel and we absolutely loved every minute. We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. This apartment was so well organized and well equipped (same for the beach closet). Not a single detail was overlooked. We felt right at home from the moment we walked in. Darlene and Mike could not have been more helpful!!! The location of this complex is great, very close to where the action is. We had rental bikes delivered and used them to get around for most of the week. I wish we could give this 6 stars! We highly recommend this place and will definitely come again. Thanks again, Darlene and Mike!

This unit and this vacation was exactly what my family needed. It was an amazing trip and a wonderful respite from hectic day-to-day life. The owners were amazing with their suggestions and have truly thought of everything, plus a little more. This unit was the best appointed and organized unit I have really ever seen. The beach was awesome, and we had a great time relaxing, fishing, and enjoying our week in paradise. We're already talking about our next trip!

My family and I had the best trip we ever would have hoped for at Sanibel Surfside #122. Royal Shell managed it and the check in/out was easy as pie. They even had cold bottled water and fresh cookies to nibble on, which we loved after a morning of flying.
The unit itself was impeccably clean and also the most organized unit I have ever seen. They have everything you could ever think of - even 3 sets of binoculars to watch dolphins from the balcony.
The complex is nice and quiet - exactly what we were looking for. The location to things were nice and convenient. We had a great trip. Husband caught a ton of fish with Captain Bill of Endless Summer Charters. We also rented a bowrider from the same marina for a morning with our toddler and loved it. I seriously can't wait to go back!
Room Tip: Unit 122 was impeccable - hard to imagine a better appointed unit.

"Your condo is absolutely wonderful. We were very comfortable and appreciated every aspect of your place. Beautiful location coupled with your awesome decor, amenities, and organization/labeling was incredibly helpful. I really can't say enough how nice your place is. Simply beautiful.You and your husband have done a great job anticipating guest's needs and comfort. We rent a lot of vacation spots - from skiing in the mountains, shore homes, even trackside stays and your condo is far and above the best place we've seen. You have thought of every single detail."

"The first morning I woke up and looked out at the Gulf and saw a dolphin and her baby swimming by FROM BED!!!!! That is something I will always remember as one of my favorite moments on the island!! We thoroughly enjoyed the condo and the beach. Everything was just perfect! Thanks again and I'm sure that your place will become our special vacationing spot for many years to come."

Sanibel Surfside is a small, well maintained condominium property steps from the beach at Sanibel Island.
From Unit 122 you can sit on the screened in porch and "people watch" as you enjoy your morning coffee, a nice lunch, or perhaps that afternoon glass of wine. The unit is nicely furnished, well maintained, and had one of the best stocked kitchens I have experienced in a rental property. The owners are easily accessible, and obviously care that their tenants enjoy themselves while staying in their unit.
The complex also has a nice pool, barbecue area, and shuffleboard. Our group put together a shuffleboard tournament and played every day we were there. Great shell hunting can be found as you walk up and down the beach, with the best ones found at sunrise.
Traveled as a couple.

This was my family's second visit to this unit and it felt like we were returning to "our" second home! The location, cleanliness, and amenities are top-notch. The owners are extremely friendly and have provided everything you could possibly need. On this visit, we cooked more in-condo and easily found everything from the right-sized pots and pans to plates, measuring cups, and grilling tools. We enjoyed the pool, beach and tennis courts during the day and spent evenings in the condo enjoying the direct gulf view, the wi-fi, the comfortable furnishings... and nightly games of charades. Darlene and Mike have made this a wonderful oasis for us and we hope to return! You won't find a nicer place to rent than this!

If you're looking for the best place to stay on Sanibel Island, look no further! Our family of four has stayed in several different condos on Sanibel and this one exceeds all the others in all categories. The owners have spent a lot of time and money getting this condo to be the perfect getaway for two to six people. Everything you need for the beach is neatly stored in the locked storage closet next to your parking place. The pool is heated and wonderful to relax by. The view and ambiance of the full lanai is a wonderful place to have morning coffee, a snack, lunch, or just sitting and reading. You can see all the way down the coast to Naples! The beach is literally 20 steps from the elevator. The bike trails are at the end of the driveway and the Donax Street location puts you in the middle of all the action on Sanibel. I can't emphasize enough how much you'll enjoy choosing this condo to stay in. Our family was totally relaxed by the end of the first day we stayed there. Read the journal they have in the condo to see the great remarks that all dwellers said. Highly recommend....five stars out of five!

"I did want to share with you that your condo will always be my favorite (we have stayed 3 times in Sanibel now). You have done a phenomenal job of making guests feel extremely well taken care of, and there will never be a better view than that from the master bedroom and the lanai. All the amenities are much appreciated. I will definitely check in with you again for our next trip. We are so glad to have discovered Sanibel and people like you who make it so easy for us to get the most out of our vacation. Thanks again, C.M."

Our family of five stayed in this beautiful condo during Christmas break. The condo was fully stocked with high quality amenities. The decor is tasteful and the beds were extraordinarily comfortable. We enjoyed the large master bath with double sinks and walk in closet. The flat screen TVs, ipod docking station and wi-fi were wonderful, and we couldn't get enough of the breathtaking, expansive view of the gulf from the living room AND the master bedroom. We're neat freaks and the condo was perfectly clean. The pool was steps away and very, very warm. We also enjoyed the beach chairs and beach accessories. I could go on and on about how wonderful this condo was. I've visited Sanibel often and cannot imagine a nicer place to stay on the island. I just hope we can return soon... and wouldn't consider staying anywhere else! One last note, the owners were very helpful and friendly. I emailed frequently prior to our trip and was always provided with timely, accurate and thorough information. They went out of their way to ensure our stay would be stellar.
