Amazing stay

This was a very nice place for our family vacation. We arrived late and they shut the blinds and left a light on for us. The view from both levels were amazing and the shelling was more than we had hoped.

Happy to be back on Sanibel

Loggerhead cay was up and running. Still in active construction, but we didn’t mind. We were just happy to be back on the island. We had a great week in the sun at the beautiful heated pool and easily accessible beach. We hope to stay here again next year.

Condo on Sanibel Island.

A very nice unit in a great location. Lots of construction work being done at and near the complex to repair hurricane. Would have been good to know its extent before we arrived. Also, elevator listed as an amenity was not working during our stay. Great proximity to the beach and a lovely ocean view from the lanai.

The entirely oceanfront unit with an extra bed than is standard is a good value for the money because of that. Unfortunately, there were many drawbacks while staying here that led us to conclude that we would not book this property again. The TV in the two-bedroom did not turn on (it was plugged in), and there was no remote to operate it. There were stains on nearly all of the furniture, especially in the primary bedroom, and we tried not to use the dining room set because of the torn upholstery on the chairs. There were several dust bunnies on the ground, the carpet was stained throughout the unit, and the primary bed seemed to be disintegrating underneath or something, as debris was falling onto the carpet. The pillows were stained both on the bedding and on the pillow itself (this looked like a body fluid). There was trash left when we arrived, including contact lenses.The furniture pictured on the rooftop did not exist--only two folding lawn chairs. The generic welcome email stated to park in assigned spots, but there was no #183 visible. There was also no binder with property/unit info; the welcome email/text included a link to "info," but there was nothing specific to this unit, including info about the storage closet. This was not mentioned at all, so we purchased beach items and only noticed the key 4 days into our visit. It did contain umbrellas, chairs, etc., for guest use.We did not reach out to mgt due to a previous disappointing experience with Breakaway reps.

Needs some TLC

The view was great! The appliances are very old, rubber gasket falls off on the dishwasher; the cooktop is stained; the oven is rusting; the front screen door is dented at the bottom leaving a hole , so you can’t have the door open for a breeze; trundle bed had no sheets for the bottom mattress; not enough blankets . The “penthouse deck” is just the rooftop, hatch will not stay open no chairs up there. We did appreciate the locker key, making it easy to store our beach stuff.

Disappointment in paradise

We had stayed at compass point before and loved it so when we saw an opening we grabbed it. What we were not told was that although our condo was fine, the ground floor was littered with construction debris and the concrete was slick from sand and dust. I ended up falling and breaking my nose and 3 bones in my foot the 2nd day. Needless to say, my vacation wasn’t the birthday celebration I had hoped for. If you go this year, make sure you find out if the property is really ready and safe.

Can't beat the views!

Great location, close to stores and restaurants but not too congested. The condo was clean, kitchen very well-stocked. There were adequate beach chairs, umbrellas, and even boogie boards. We loved the roof-top deck and the lenai for morning coffee and evening cocktails. We have stayed at many different places in Sanibel but this had the best views and was closest to the beach. We originally planned 6 of us (2 parents and 4 adult children) but it was a good thing 1 person couldn't come because it would have been a tight fit. 4 smaller children would be fine. The only negative is that there were not enough bath towels for 5 people. (4 of us were females who use 1 towel just for hair). We would definitely return to this unit for future visits!

A Couple of Things...

We liked the condo very much. The box spring in the second bedroom did not fit the frame so it squeaked if you moved on it. We requested a new one which Breakaway said they had but it never showed up during our stay. Someone had to sleep on the mattress on the floor during our trip which made us pretty unhappy. The TV in the master bedroom was not connected to anything and I didn't like that. Breakaway ordered a new TV but apparently Amazon canceled the order. As condo rental owners on the island for eleven years we get things happen. We just wish for the money we paid that things would have been corrected during our two weeks.

Condo was Very Nice…..

My advice…..do not visit after 2 hurricanes. This is our first time visiting Sanibel and although the condo was very nice and everything was as listed, the elevator was out so we had to walk up three flights of stairs with all of our stuff (we drove from Ohio so we had a lot of stuff for 6 people). Our pool was not open because it was still undergoing repairs after Milton. Two things I wish the management property had communicated to us. We were not able to get in the gulf because of debris and bacteria. There was no way to cool off and the kids were not able to swim and get their energy out. There were a lot of things out of the control of the management property, but it made our stay less enjoyable. And did I mention the noseeums?!?! Just awful!! Couldn’t walk out the door without being attacked. If you love smelling like bug spray all day and night, it’s not too bad. We really did enjoy the island itself (despite being ravaged by two hurricanes) and our condo, which is what I’m really reviewing…..I just wish there was better communication about what was not available or was out of service. Especially since we did not get the insurance so we could not get our money back if we decided not to go. Get the insurance people!!!!

Uncooperative & lack of understanding of Covid Pandemic Issue

This particular management company and/or owner was totally inflexible on any level of refund or changing of dates related to our stay given the concerns we had for travel with our family coming from different parts of the country to meet at the condo. Some of which have high risk factors. We chose not to fly during this high risk time and know many other people in the same situation who had reservations with reputable Florida management companies and owners that were very understanding and either gave them full or substantial refunds or full credits towards future stays. These folks were all about the money and even called to suggest we were just too afraid to fly and that we should have no concerns and not be scared. We have lost people close to us and had others very sick so it is not a hoax to us and we took and continue to take it seriously. We are also in the hospitality business and offered our guests full cancellation privileges right up to the day of arrival related to the pandemic, these people had no concern for us or for these concerns. I would not suggest dealing with them, they likely do not take the cleaning and maintenance of their units seriously either given their disregard for their guests safety and interests. There are plenty of good places run by reputable and understanding people in the area, check them out before taking a chance with these people for sure.

Family vacation

Property and location were great. Parking spot is difficult to locate. Took us a few days but finally found it on the backside of the other condo building. Should add the info to the binder. Parking the first night was impossible and frustrating in the dark after a long drive. No parking stickers or papers so unsure if the buildings were just that full or if nonresidents were using the guest spots. Storage space only had chairs and maybe a beach tent. No boogey or skim boards or beach toys, and the only fishing pole does not work. We did enjoy our week in the sun.
