    Very Nice Location...…
    5 / 5
    Rating Details: 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: I and my beautiful bride stayed in building C, Condo 208 and really enjoyed it. We have only one complaint, the Condo above us was really loud in the evenings, sliding furniture, slamming doors and walking loudly on the floors alot till 12 midnight. I really can't believe that people could move furniture that much in a Condo in one night. On a better note, our Condo was real clean, and had everything but a kleenex box in the bathroom as was promised, but the location was super, not very far to the beach at all. Everything worked like it should have. Would I stay with SBL Vacations again?, yes I would. They made it enjoyable. Thanks SBL.…

    It was an amazing find. Very clean and well maintained with all The necessary appliances. We stayed in the two bedroom unit with our friends. It’s in a nice quiet area near the lighthouse and about 200 yards to a small beach. Also nearby the marina where we at at Gramma Dots. Shauna the manager of the Seahorse Cottages was extremely helpful, very courteous and professional. Loved her without ever meeting her. Also available at no additional cost are beach chairs & umbrellas, bicycles, wagons for the beach, shelling buckets and net bags for your shelling experience. There is a heated pool in the yard and each cabin has a front and back porch. It was an unbelievable stay one we will never forget and will definitely return on our next trip to Sanibel. We give the place a 10+. …
