  Bradley T from Jacksonville, FL recommends this vacation rental

  This rental property is an easy walk to the beach. The overall condition of the property is very clean but the backyard is mostly dirt. The heated pool was wonderful. When I first arrived, the pool heater was not operating. SBL had the heater fixed within 2 days. Thank you! The SBL staff is fantastic. They are so easy to work with and so friendly. I would definitely rent this house again.

  • Manager Responded on 12/18/2025

    Brad, you are truly amazing! We genuinely appreciate you taking the time to share such a fantastic review! We are delighted that you and Sadie (your wonderfully adorable dog) had a great time at the property! Thank you for recognizing our SBL staff; we take great pride in addressing any issues promptly and are always happy to help in anyway we can! As always, we eagerly anticipate your return soon!

  Property condition:

  Lynne M from Emerald Isle, NC recommends this vacation rental

  Property was clean, as pictures depicted, easy walk to beach, had umbrella and beach chairs. Pool was clean and heated. House is stocked with all kitchen supplies that a you need to cook, beach towels. loved that we could ride bikes to Doc Fords and mexican restaurant. We called for additional pillow cases and they were brought so quickly.
  
  
  Downside: rodent issues outside, lanai had screens chewed thru and rat droppings around area. pool deck is granulating and hard on feet-I am sure due to Ian. The garage is a safety hazard with a lot of construction material.
  
  Brock maintenance man was wonderful an asset to your organization
  
  Overall we are super happy and would return in a heartbeat.

    Lynne, we truly appreciate you taking the time to leave such a fantastic review! We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed your stay at Sooner Beach Escape, and we're grateful for your feedback and understanding. Palm rats can be quite troublesome, and unfortunately they are a nuisance throughout the island. We greatly appreciate you bringing this to our attention, allowing us to tackle the issue effectively. Brock is an absolute gem on our team, and we hit the jackpot having him around! We appreciate your understanding regarding the clutter in our garage, as we are still in the process of organizing and recovering. Thank you once more for the fantastic review! Please rest assured that we value your feedback greatly; it is guests like you who help us surpass expectations. We look forward to welcoming you back soon!

  a guest from Verden, Niedersachsen recommends this vacation rental

  Since 2018 we rented a home in this area and we always found a property offered by Sanibel Vacations, Inc.
  The Service was as usual: very professional, also the maintenance of the property. Finally, let me just say: I know Sanibel since 1990 and I’ve been at the island
  about thirty times,I know some other propertys....

  Had a great vacation at this property. The pool was wonderful and having a screened in eating area outside was a huge plus. The house was well appointed and the bathrooms were great. SBL were awesome to work with. Could not ask for a better agency to deal with.
  Highly recommend this property

  This house was excellent. The location is fantastic. short walk to the beach. The neighborhood is quiet and private. Highly recommend this home.
  
  It was very clean and well appointed. It had everything you need to enjoy the beach life.
  
  Sanibel Vacations management was excellent to work with. We rented another house for the next month and they coordinated and easy transition for us. We highly recommend working with this group. We will continue to do so in the future for certain.
  thanks,
