"The property was clean and absolutely gorgeous. The pictures honestly didn't do it justice. The hospitality was great! The communication was top notch, but they weren't too much at all. Great privacy! Beach was steps away from the elevator. The location was wonderful! It was secluded but everything we needed was very close by. Sanibel Island was a 10 minute drive at most! We are only going to stay at this property in the future."
