Return to Sanibel

We stayed at this property in lieu of our usual place which is still being renovated from the hurricane. We were pleased with it. Everything was there for our week stay. Would recommend it. Would stay there again if our usual property is not available

Lovely

A very quaint and cute place to stay. The manger was able to communicate with us frequently and we did not need to speak with him because everything, except one thing, was perfect and the property was as listed in VRBO. They need to clean/replace the burners on the gas grill and scrub the grill itself.

THE HIDEAWAY

Great location … quiet and close to the beach and bike paths . Has space outdoors for sitting and/or cooking out. Unit is a little rundown. Towels didn’t dry well and had a slight smell. AC is noisy. FIOS cable didn’t work and unable to get it fixed. Found a maintenance person on the premises. He tried to fix it but couldn’t because Xfinity service was out. Apparently this happens from time to time. The cleaning crew uses strongly perfumed cleaning supplies. The smell was unpleasant, made me sneeze and my nose run for most of my first day. The smell lasted until third day. Maybe the cleaning crew should use unscented cleaning supplies. I would expect management to check everything between guests to ensure everything works properly.
