Shalimar Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Great view of beach from screened balcony. Almost a private pool while we were there for 5 nights. Room was perfect! Staff was very nice."

Breakers West B5 Beach side condo with pool

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely wonderful experience all around. Not one complaint, We will be back."

Rare Walkout Condo On Sanibel Beach

8/10 Good

"The condo was nice and clean and location was great. Our only complaint was that it smelled so strongly of mildew that we could smell it on ourselves after leaving the unit. After only three nights, we got home and had to wash all our clothes because everything in our bags smelled like mildew. Bummer."

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

8/10 Good

"My wife and I enjoyed the condo. It is really close to a very nice beach.(Bowman’s). Lots of nice shells there. Amble is kind of a niche place. Great for an older couple like my wife and I that love to look for shells. If there is a problem, the parking spot is a long ways from the condo. Then you have steps. Overall we really enjoyed the place. Being there in the off season was great. Wasn’t many people there. Thanks."

Very nice and clean home with everything you could ask for!"
