Great spot on Sanibel
The property suited our family of four well in many ways. They did a great job with renovations and it is very comfortable. The separation of the guest bedroom from the master was nice to ensure the kids could get to sleep while mom and dad enjoy their time. While it was very nicely decorated, with an almost two year old there was a lot of breakable items within arms reach, and unfortunately we had a broken lamp during our stay. Most of the small breakable items were easily moved for the week to minimize any possible damage! Having the washer dryer in the condo was great, we did several washes throughout the week. The back patio is a nice space and the kids loved combing through the shell landscaping/path. The covered parking is super helpful to avoid a hot car each day. The pool was excellent, very friendly people and plenty of space and seats. I took out a kayak to fish for a couple hours and it was all easy to get close to nature with the "bayou" area nearby. The walk to the beach was only 5-8 minutes or so, and the wagons and all the gear super helpful. The beach is the star and its a great area, not very crowded, good sand and tons of shells. The depth and wave action was perfect for us on most days, we did have a windy day and avoided but otherwise its great for swimming/fishing/shelling. We had bikes for the week delivered (Billy's) and that worked well, with racks near our back patio. Bike trails are all over the island, so be sure to spend some time on the pedals. The biggest downside I would say for this property is the location on the island relative to most restaurants and business, as its about 10 minutes from most things on the eastern end of the island. We did bike into town one day and it was a bit much for us with the kids and the hot sun (6 miles each way I think). If you bike the other way to blind pass beach there are a couple restaurants and a beach to check out (2.5 miles). Being close to Captiva is nice too but its better to drive IMO as the end of Captiva is several more miles and that's where most of the action is. Along with the Bike path sort of going away once you get past Sanibel. Overall would highly recommend, its a very nice place and good value. We've stayed at resorts on Sanibel in the past which were much smaller and 2-3X the price with not much more in amenities. I would not hesitate to book this property again.
