Close to beach

I paid for “Beach front” but was the farthest back, it was not to far of a walk though still had a great trip.

Everything was convenient, and the beach was awesome.

Traffic

Exactlly what we hoped for. Very relaxing.

Couple of drains were slow and needed cleaning out

Beautiful landscape, tasteful comfortable condo and attentive staff

Close proximity to the pool, beach, grill and laundry facilities; umbrellas and chairs were included in our stay

-Old and outdated condo - owner rental (was not made aware that was the case prior to purchasing) -ants upon checking in on the kitchen counter; left cookies in its container on the counter and woke up the next morning cookies covered in ants -rust found on utensils -no dead bolt available to lock up when we left the condo; the bottom lock kept on jamming and Dior knob was loose

beautiful grounds, loved the pool and beach areas

in our unit, the carpet was very dirty. Twice we had a huge cockroach in our trash bin. It was very noisy; the first 4 days chainsaws were going all day long. They were also remodeling the unit next to ours with construction noise. Our bathtub didn’t drain so we were in ankle deep water while showering.

We traveled to Sanibel the last week of September (low season), it was my husband, my 1 year old son, and I. The condo looked excellent at first sight. The staff was nice, helpful, very prompt, definitely the main reason why I would recommend Sanibel Moorings: in particular the general manager very promptly helped us with the issues with had (listed below). The environment is pretty, the beach is close, and there were extra umbrellas and lounge chairs.

We traveled to Sanibel the last week of September (low season), it was my husband, my 1 year old son, and I. The condo looked excellent at first sight, but then we found some faults: (1) the master bedroom bed was uncomfortable and made a lot of noise so it was very difficult to rest properly; (2) there was so much hair in the guest bathroom bathtub drain that the stopper did not go down and I had to remove this somebody else's hair myself to give my son a bath that night; (3) when we arrived at 10 pm, we had to assemble the crib for my son ourselves, which it is not accettable. Another big issue was the smell of the outdoor areas: because of the time of the year, they fertilize their gorgeous plants (really beautiful garden), but the smell was so bad we could not dine in our patio for 4 days out of 7! On this matter we have been told that we paid less for the accommodation also because of the fertilization plan, but: (1) we paid $2000 that to me does not sound like a little amount of money and should not make us feel 'poor' so that it is ok to stand unpleasant odor every time we step out the condo; (2) if the fertilization plan had been made known we would have gone to a different facility; (3) it is low season so they had the chance to allow us to stay in a condo where fertilization was not happening during those 7 days we were there, but they still assigned us that condo also knowing that we had a 1 year old child with us. Finally it was advertised that we could have used the complementary beach gear until 6 pm, but that applies to high season: in September be aware that they remove umbrellas from the beach and lock them away at 4 pm. It is a Sanibel rule due to baby turtles hatching and going to the ocean at night, and if resorts do not do that they get a fine.
