This was our 4th trip to Sand Pointe #226. Excellent accommodations, only 45 units in the entire building so it’s never really busy which is great nowadays. Close proximity to stores, restaurants and beautiful beaches. See you next year!

Pretty much perfect!

PERFECT location if you’re looking for quiet with updated appliances. Located in the back corner of the complex so you don’t get any pool noise, yet get an amazing view EVEN from your bed!
The only suggestions I have are to update the beach chairs… your options are to sit straight up or lug an old fashioned one around. I would also add travel mugs so you can carry your coffee or water down with you to the beach.
This unit is fairly perfect and we will definitely stay there again!!

We had a great time on Sanibel Island and Sand Pointe 226 is an ideal place to stay. It is centrally located. The facilities are kept very neat and clean, and the condo itself is better than we could have hoped for. It is spotless clean, it has everything you need, and its access to the beach is better than other places we have stayed.

Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience during a recent stay at Sand Pointe 226. We love this property as well and the owners of this particular unit really go all-out to make sure their guests have everything they could possibly need for the perfect beach vacation. Sand Pointe is also very conveniently located near shops, restaurants and a grocery store not only by car but also by bike! For those not familiar with Sanibel, we have over 25 miles of bike trails that can be accessed right out in front of Sand Pointe.

Wonderful! It was warm but felt very good. Loved the condo. It was perfect. Although I would recommend some small plates. Great location, wonderful beach, terrific owners, excellent weather. Shells don’t match up to pictures on internet to hype Sanibel but we had a great time and found a lot of different shells to take home along with wonderful memories.

Great unit overlooking the lagoon. Saw the alligator,iguanas, turtles, birds and bunnies. Great pool!!! Beach was good…found shells. Condo was very well stocked with everything you’ll need to prepare meals. Condo is very comfortable as are the beds. 3 TVs. Elevator near the room and grocery carts to help loading and unloading items. Restaurants near…Sanibel Fish House..a must do. Great seafood. Will definitely return…but in a cooler month. Left 2 days early as Hurricane Dorian was bearing down on us…had to get back to Virginia safely. I still miss the peaceful view from the screened balcony. Really…you will love this condo. Staff at Sanibel Holiday are super.

We’ve stayed at this condo in the past and it was as enjoyable this time as the last time we were here. The condo was spotless upon arrival, and welcoming. There were ample towels for the condo as well as for the beach. The amenities were great – a coffee grinder would be a welcome addition. The pool was always clean and the beach was wonderful for sunning as well as shelling. I would highly recommend this condo if you want a wonderful experience!

Perfect Sanibel Escape

We just returned from a thoroughly relaxing trip to Sand Pointe and we are happy to recommend it as the perfect escape from life’s daily demands and stresses. The setting is ideal, with a large lanai that affords a wide view of the gulf. As for the accommodations, you will have access to everything you need to feel that you’ve found a home away from home. Decor is beach themed, tasteful, and designed with comfort and functionality in mind. Visitors need not worry about needing anything, as the condo is stocked with every convenience and accessory you might need.
Located in the center of Sanibel, it is an easy trip to all restaurants, shops, and attractions. It’s also a quick drive to Captiva if you are so inclined.
We will definitely return, though on our next visit we plan to stay for two weeks, not one.

    Reviewed Jun 6, 2016 Stayed May 2016

    I rented Dave and Elaine’s Sand Pointe condo May 28 – June 4, 2016. My party included 3 teenagers, all related to me. The condo was on the beach but near the center of the island, away from all the larger condo units. This was the place for us – the beach was never crowded, the complex was small so I did not have to jockey for a covered parking spot, it was located in a very peaceful part of the island, but yet it was close to mom & pop run restaurants, the Ding Darling Wildlife refuge, and within driving or biking distance to Bowman’s Beach and Blind Pass. The condo was decorated with comfort in mind, every need was accounted for, from the comfortable beds and bed linens and including the shopping carts located at the elevators for moving your luggage back and forth to the condo. The appliances were new and worked very well, granite countertops were easy to clean, the updated bathrooms were very nice. The only thing I had to bring was food and drink. Dave and Elaine even left a key to their storage unit where it was stocked with beach toys, floats, chairs, chaise loungers and even a car seat for youngsters. This was my first visit to Sanibel Island, and this is my new happy place! Thank you Dave and Elaine, I will be back!

We had a great week at Sand Pointe 226. The condo is very well equipt and has a lovely view of the Gulf. The lock box on the door is a real plus. No need to wait for a key at the real estate office. There is plenty of covered parking and a separate storage area with everything needed for the beach. The appliances were first rate and the kitchen was very well outfitted. A great place to stay. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

We enjoyed a wonderful week at Sand point 226 in Sanibel. The condo was beautiful and very well maintained. We enjoyed sitting on the lanai watching the birds that would frequent the lagoon. We had a gorgeous view of the grounds and ocean right in front of us. We like Sand Point because of its convenient location on the West Gulf and also that it is a small condo development and very peaceful. We will be back!

We were lucky to find this rental last-minute after deciding to extend our stay in Sanibel. Sanibel Holiday staff were incredibly helpful, both on phone and in person, to present rental options that fit our criteria. The location was lovely, with a wide, often shaded, lanai, with a view of the Gulf. The condo was comfortable and stocked with most essentials. They could add salt and pepper and some matching plastic bowls and lids. When we said our ironing board was broken, the management company responded quickly to supply a new one. They also followed up when the elevator was out of service and that was fixed within hours.

We had 4 adults and 2 kids (8&10) staying at this condo. Everyone had enough room. Kids slept on an air mattress we brought with us. The condo was perfectly clean. Kitchen had everything we needed. The only thing I might recommend for the kitchen is a crock pot so you can cook while at the beach if you plan on eating in a lot. Bedrooms and bathrooms were great. A few more pillows for the master bedroom would’ve been nice. Loved having keyless entry! Screened in lanai was much appreciated and spacious. Location on the island was great, felt safe, not crowded, not a huge complex-never heard neighbors and had the pool to ourselves quite a bit. Easy & short walk to the beach. The grounds were beautiful. When we come back to Sanibel, I’d like to stay in this condo again. This was my mom’s 7th or 8th time staying here and I can see why. Thanks for a great week!

We had a relaxing time in Sanibel and the condo complex is right on the Gulf with a great view! This condo (103) had all of the necessities for cooking, beach toys, beach towels, chairs, wi-fi, etc. The only complaints were that the beach items in the storage unit needs to be sorted and items discarded as needed. One of the lounge chairs was broken and we didn’t realize it until we got to the beach. The master bedroom mattress probably should be replaced as there are definite craters on each side of the bed. Other than that, everything was perfect!
