"Great location! We found tons of good shells at the beach there! Beds were comfortable and AC was nice and cool! Great view of water. We saw dolphins and a manatee. Plenty of places to walk your dog. If you are interested in a fishing excursion, they will pick you up at the dock behind the unit. They are still working on units from hurricane damage, but any issues are addressed! Would stay here again!"

"My family and I had an amazing time at Shawn & Heather's home. The house was very comfortable and had everything we could possibly need to enjoy our time. The beds were comfy, the kitchen was well stocked with all the gadgets and kitchen supplies we could ever need. And then they even supplied everything needed to have a great time at the beach, bikes, wagon, buckets, shell bags, etc. We love Sanibel and this house made our stay even more memorable. Our kids loved it and had so much fun playing...

"My wife and I booked Breakers West B1 on our first trip back to Sanibel after Ian. We were not disappointed. The unit was exceptionally clean and well-equipped and steps to the pool and beach in one of our favorite parts of the island. Only a short ride to the Ding Darling Preserve as well. Our hosts were quick to respond to any questions or concerns. While signs of Ian's destruction were evident nearby and throughout Sanibel, including to a nearby condo where we used to stay, recovery was also...

We had our own beach chairs but the owners provided several nice chairs and quite a few beach towels. Quiet area, steps from the beach. Wish I knew how to upload the pics we took. Gorgeous view…sunset was exquisite! Would definitely come back!"

"This unit isn't big, but we fit four adults and four teenagers. You can see the beach from every room in the house, and you can hear it from the fabulous porch. The screened porch was great to sit on & even sleep on through the night. Beach access was right outside the door over the private boardwalk. The pool was big and right outside the door also. The no-seeums and biting bugs could have been a deal-breaker, but the wind picked up for most of the week & kept them away for all but two days...

"Location is marvelous: Quiet, surrounded by nature. The porch alone is worth the stay, and having the beach a mere mile or so down the road? Eliminates questions about what to do (but bring footware!) Challenges: keycode system is insane, and also non-functional. Glad we had the keys instead. Especially as the promised beach towels were still in the cellar. Thanks to Vacasa team for working us through the entry issues. Otherwise? Spectacular location, very comfortable, and surrounded by all...

"Upon booking I was anxious as I had never been to Sanibel before and knew Ian was still something folks were recovering from. Our flight also was not arriving until very late and I knew we wouldn’t arrive at the condo until after midnight. I messaged the owner and they responded very quickly that check in would be no problem as there is a door code they would issue me. Check in, in fact was no problem at all. Since we arrived so late, we had no idea what views we would awake to. The views from...
