Almost Beach Front
The ease of check in and the cleanliness of the condo made our arrival great. It was updated with new appliances and everything we needed. The views from the screened in lanai were amazing. It was almost like being in a direct beach front condo. The only thing that could have been better was the occasional loss of wi-fi internet connection, but that was probably due to the ongoing recovery from Ian. Overall, we were pleased and had a wonderful time. I will say that Ian certainly upset the ecosystem and the no-seeums were out at times and places we weren’t expecting. We still enjoyed our stay very much.

Post Ian Visit
I was surprised by how much progress had been made on the island since Ian. We have been coming to Sanibel for 9 years and love the island so much. I was worried about how it would look at it would be the island we know and love, but I was wrong… it is still amazing! The amount of clean up and rebuilding was shocking. The charm and beauty was still there and we were so excited. The condo had the most perfect view, very comfortable and a great location.

Your Search Is Over!
If you are looking for an amazing Sanibel condo in extreme close proximity to the beach, this is the one! We couldn’t believe how amazing Walter’s condo was. We were very satisfied with how Sanibel Holiday Rentals went above and beyond to make sure our stay was perfect! Shelling was great right on our beach. Beach towels, beach chairs, beach umbrellas are provided. The condo was equipped with everything we needed during our stay. We stopped at Publix to pick up groceries before going on island but found that Jerry’s Grocery had anything else that we needed, even No Natz bug spray! Their meat department was impressive and they will even steam shrimp for you. Thank you to Walter and Sanibel Holiday for ensuring that our week was magical! We will be back to stay here again.

What a view!!
Walt and Debbie were fabulous hosts! Their condo has been newly renovated with all new appliances and everything we needed to make our stay comfy and relaxed. It was spotless! Great communication--immediate response when we had a question.The view from the window and screened-in lanai is spectacular--ocean view and at night we kept the slider open. The ocean waves lulled us to sleep! Easy walk downstairs and amazing shells everywhere! Biking is easy on the island and many wonderful restaurants and shops are open for business. Thanks for a delightful week away from the chaos of everyday life!

Best Family Vacation Spot Right on the Beach
My two kids, my husband, and I had the best time at this condo. Such a fantastic vacation spot. It was so incredible clean and beautiful- and so close to the beach we fell asleep to the surf sounds every night ❤️ Being steps away from the beach was great for our kids. We hardly had to leave the condo complex. The pool was beautiful as well. We are so grateful to Walt and Debbie - they were so accessible for all our questions and delivered on everything they promised and more. Thank you thank you to the two of them and we can’t recommend this condo enough to anyone else. It was truly a beautiful, surf sound spot!

Very Disappointed. Unit 122
We arrived to a broken dishwasher and then 4/7 days of our stay they were painting the entire building exterior where we had rented. There was paint tarps, buckets of paint, taped windows including our own. The painters had a loud four story crane and generators going from 9am-5pm for FOUR days. At times use of the elevator and stairwell were non accessable. For three days we had to park farther away in guest parking because their trucks and equipment blocked all the spots in front of our building. Then everyday when my wife would come back for lunch from the beach there she had to maneuver through the painters or saw them laying on floor during their breaks. I honestly don’t blame the painters as the place should have never been rented in those conditions. There seemed to be no one in either of the two buildings except us so someone knew not to rent or go to those units. At no point was I even notified of this prior to arriving. Overall you could tell the place was nice but not at all the week we were there. I complained almost immediately and was told they weren't even supposed to be painting our building that week. How they rented that place to us without notifying us is unacceptable. Then offering us to refund only approximately 1/7 of the weekly amount charged. I found this to be grossly unfair but I didn't want to argue the point any further as it was upsetting my wife. This is NOT at all what we expected our family vacation to Sanibel to be like. As such we were overall VERY disappointed.☹️.
