Sanibel Siesta on the Beach

Sanibel Siesta on the Beach

10/10 Excellent
"We were extremely happy with the condo. Everything worked well, very comfortable and equipped with all and more. If anything was missing, we just went to the office and they supplied it right away. Friendly management team and right on one of the best beaches on Sanibel in our view. Plenty of space and great shelling! We enjoyed every minute. Comfortable beds and couch, the internet was fast, AC worked great. There was really nothing to complain about. We will be back! We are grateful for this beautiful peace of paradise. The only thing we did not use were the grill spots and the pool since the beach was so beautiful and nearby. "
