  Gina C from Kalamazoo, Michigan recommends this vacation rental

  We have stayed at this condominium twice. We love the oceanfront location and the overall location on the island. The sandy beach is wonderful and the included beach equipment is everything you'll need.
  
  The condo is as described in the listing. It is very clean and we noticed many updates in the condo since our stay last year.
  
  We called for minor issues to the manager and always receive a prompt response. Since we went in the summer this time, we were concerned about the unit staying cool enough to be comfortable. It was not an issue. The air conditioning worked very well and there are also a couple of fans in the unit.
  
  We will definitely stay here again on our next visit to Sanibel.

  Our second stay in Sanibel (2016) when we stayed in another unit in the Surfside building. The trip was just as good or better, as my family needed some away time and this trip fit perfectly. The weather cooperated, the bike rentals were great and we enjoyed it so much we will be back!

  SBL very easy to work with and helpful answering any questions we had. Condo in a great spot right on the beach and easy access to bike trails. Appliances and some furniture a little worn but overall a very enjoyable trip.

  Judy J from Minneapolis, MN does not recommend this vacation rental.

  This condo is not up to the SBL standards we have come to expect. The condo location and building cannot be any better. The same cannot be said for this condo and cabana. They are both are in need of MAJOR repairs and upgrades. The living room couch and loveseat are way past their prime, and the rug is old and filthy. We were excited to have the additional cabana space, but the cabana tiles are broken and covered with a rubber mat. The beach chairs are old and in need of replacing.
  We had some housekeeping issues and a umbrella that was so rusted it snapped. SBL resolved these issues promptly.
  

  • Manager Responded on 7/13/2022

    Judy, thank you for your feedback about your stay at Sanibel Surfside #124. We are very sorry you were unhappy with the accomodations in both the condo and the cabana. I hope you will be happy to know that the Owner recently purchased ALL new appliances for the kitchen, as well as new furniture throughout the entire condo! We hope you will give this condo another chance, because we promise it is immaculate now with the beautiful new upgrades and updates we've done!

  Donald H from Saint Louis, MO recommends this vacation rental

  We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Sanibel Surfside #124. The biggest issue that we had that was not reported and immediately resolved was the sofa bed is worn out. If you sat in it you sank down to the point that it was sometimes difficult to get out. I recommend replacing the sofa! There were other minor repair issues. The doors to the lanai were difficult to open. Perhaps lube or replace the rollers. The window in the second bedroom did not lock. The shades on several windows and doors were in various states of disrepair. All were livable, with the sofa's poor condition being the biggest concern. When we arrived our bathtub drain was not draining well. SBL immediately took care of this issue. I also had problems with the rental bike. The chain came off several times one day. It was tightened by SBL, but on a subsequent ride, the chain broke when I was 10 miles away from the condo. A replacement bike was brought to my location within 2 hours. Responsiveness to immediate problems was excellent.

    Donald, thank you for the overall great review of Sanibel Surfside #124. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay, despite the many issues you mentioned. I hope you will appreciate that the condo has been recently updated with all BRAND-NEW kitchen appliances, as well as all brand new living room, dining room, and bedroom(s) furniture as of May 2022! We hope you will give this condo another visit so that you can see the amazing updates that were done to the condo! It is truly beautiful and very comfortable!

  Gina C from Kalamazoo, Michigan recommends this vacation rental

  I spent a lot of time looking for the right condominium. I really wanted direct oceanfront with excellent views. This condo was perfect! I loved the views from the main living area and bedroom. We sat on the balcony every morning and evening. The condo itself was exactly as described, clean and well-maintained. We used the pool every day and really liked it. The beach equipment was handy and convenient. We also did the weekly bike rental and rode our bikes everywhere. We only used the car when we went off the island. We really liked this condominium and its location and absolutely will stay here again. We also stayed a week in Naples but preferred Sanibel and this condo over our stay in Naples.

    Dear Gina, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! I'm so glad you had enjoyed your stay in our lovely Surfside unit #124, and I'm so glad to hear that everything was as you pictured it! Perfect! We hope to welcome you back soon for another wonderful vacation with the SBL family!

  a guest from CAMP HILL, Pennsylvania recommends this vacation rental

  The location and amenities at Sanibel Seaside #124 are excellent. Protected parking for car and bicycles, the amazing view from the lanai, and, especially, the cabana, made our stay there worth it.
  we discovered that the unit itself was a bit small for four adults, as the second bedroom is way too small, and the closet is impossible to enter with the door on it and a bed in the way.
  However, the entire condo was clean and well taken care of. The cabana stored fishing gear, umbrellas, beach chairs, and shells for two weeks. We used it from morning until sunset with much joy.
  We recommend it to anyone!

  • Manager Responded on 12/24/2021

    Dear Harry, I'm so glad to hear that you had enjoyed our Condo over at Sanibel Surfside #124! The cabana really is such a great amenity! I'm so glad that you took advantage of it, and we are delighted to hear that you had enjoyed your over all stay with us. Minus it being a little cramped for four adults. We hope to see you again next year for another two weeks of pure bliss!
