Great
Our stay at Sandpoint 227 was wonderful as always. Mike and Beatrice have a very nice condo and we appreciate them sharing it with us the past several years. When we come to Sanibel there is no where else we want to stay.

Sand Pointe 227 is FANTASTIC
Absolutely beautiful property. The beach was beautiful and full of shells, the pool (while small) was never overly crowded and nice. The condo itself was fantastic and very well kept. Also, the furniture was very comfortable. The mattress for the master bed was wonderful, and the couch was very comfortable to sit on (pleasant surprise). It was perfect. Thank you so much. We loved it; one of our best vacations ever.

Clean, well maintained condo and property
Condo had everything we were looking for as a family with young kids. A great view from the Lanai when the kids were napping, easy acess to the beach and pool. Condo had nice finishings in the bathrooms and kitchen.

Legendary vacation
Staying at Sand Pointe 227 was absolutely incredible. It is beautifully decorated, the kitchen was well stocked, lanai was absolutely gorgeous overlooking the stunning view over the lagoon, pool and ocean. The condo was very comfortable. We will definitely be staying here again. Highly recommend.

Very nice!
This was the second time that we stayed at Sand Pointe 227. The unit is clean and nicely equipped and furnished. The location is great. The property is well maintained. We will likely rent this unit again!

So Relaxing
We love staying at Sand Pointe, and especially in Mike and Beatrice's Unit. They have the unit furnished so nicely and we love the master bathroom, as it is has a walk-in shower and lots of room. You can't go wrong by staying in Unit 227!!

Lovely condo on the beach
We had an amazing time here for Spring Break! My husband and two little boys found the condo comfortable and very well-stocked. We loved that there were beach chairs, sand toys, and even a weeks worth of DVDs for them to watch at night. The location was great, with several restaurants within walking distance and away from the "traffic". Loved the biking/running path outside the condo as well.

A little bit of paradise
The condo is well maintained. There are books, dvd's, and ever utensil needed for cooking if you desire (we took advantages of the restaurants: Doc Ford, George and Windy, Island Cow, and Green Flash. The lanai is screened and equipped with variable speed fans, a real nice feature. No need to bring floats, beach chairs, noodles, or umbrellas. How you could improve on the condo amenities is beyond imagination. Now to the view. As a second floor unit, 227, you see the lagoon, surrounded by Palmetto trees, the ocean, and birds. Because of an Atlantic hurricane our stay had a good deal of rain so breakfasting on the lanai, watching the birds, and just rocking in the rockers was most relaxing. As you may have gathered, we had a very enjoyable stay

We had a wonderful stay at Sanibel. We have stayed at this property before but different unit. We especially liked having the larger master bath area. Some units do not have double vanity in MB area and we needed the space. Everything was kept up nicely, the unit has excellent view.

Terrific
Great condo, location within the complex, and it was nice to have parking below. The location on Sanibel is great (the beach). Kids loved the pool. All the families we met there were very nice. Plenty of activities to do on the island or a great place to just relax on the beach, at the pool or on the screened in porch. Easy to process payments, get checked in/out, etc. Definitely recommend this...only not the week we want to come again.

Relaxing winter stay
As in previous years, we enjoyed being in this condo very much, everything we needed was there, and the owner was eager to make sure our stay was as pleasant as possible. The location is great and the view from the lanai wonderful. We certainly hope to return next winter

Nice Place
We stayed for a week over Thanksgiving, it was perfect for our family. The condo had everything, even beach chairs (they could use replacing) and beach toys for the kids. We always get condo's for our vacations and I have to say the Kitchen was the best equipped kitchen I have ever seen, it had everything I needed to make our Thanksgiving meal and then some. Very nice place.

Vacation in Paradise!!
Outstanding place to stay! A beautiful condo that is maintained well with owners that take care of you and want to make sure you have a terrific vacation! Our favorite part had to be the view from the lanai, it was just spectacular! We spent plenty of time out there having breakfast or lunch, playing games or just looking out at the gulf. We have stayed in other condos, but this was the best by far! Sand Pointe is not a larger condominium and that made it just perfect! No crowds and a family friendly place to stay. (By the end of our stay, we knew a lot of the families by name.) Our two bedroom, two bath place was roomy and outstanding. We loved the master bathroom with the double sinks, we were spoiled! My husband's favorite was the large TV in the living room. The pool was nice, parking was great, it is under your condo, so no hot car. Shelling on this part of the island was outstanding. The place was just PERFECT! My only negative point was I was hoping to have a sunset over the water to take pictures of. If you like to take photographs of either the sunrise or the sunset, over the water you cannot get them at this location. Thanks Mike & Beatrice for a GREAT vacation!

Very Relaxing Stay
This is a great condo and the view of the ocean is wonderful. My wife and I have now been coming to Sand Pointe for the past 7 years, and this is one of our favorite condos. Weather was unbelievable, low humidity and luckily no rain. Owner is very attentive to needs and always calls to see if everything is okay a day or two after arrival - very thoughtful and appreciated. Beautiful renovations in master and guest bath! We would definitely consider staying at this condo again

Wonderful Place
We have spent another wonderful winter at this lovely condo, made even nice now by the just completed renovation and enlargement of the master bathroom. This is such a comfortable place and we feel totally at home here, and the view from the lanai on the well-kept grounds, the pond, pool and the Gulf couldn't be nicer. We will be back!

First time in June
Outstanding communication between condo owners and myself. Excellent assistance from Royal Shell. Condo was as described. Large, clean and comfortable. The lanai was also large and comfortable and offered an outstanding view of the condo property and on to the Gulf. Will be anxious to rent this property again in the future.

FANTASTIC! FANTASTIC! FANTASTIC!
We stayed 8 nights in this beautifully well-equipped condo, enjoying every morning on the lanai overlooking the Gulf of Mexico. This condo is exactly as described, except that it's even MORE beautiful then we could have ever imagined. The condo was exceptionally clean and well-maintained. There's only one thing that I wish I could have changed......I wish we could have stayed LONGER!! We will DEFINATELY vacation here again next year!

Sand Pointe
The condo we rented was exceptionally clean and well maintained. The main living area and kitchen have been updated and were nicely decorated as well. We did not find any fault with the rental property and truly enjoyed our stay. The kitchen was well equipped with anything you would need to cook a meal or you could do as we did most of the time and just ignore it all and have a great meal out at one of the amazing restaurants on the island:) A wonderful vacation and a wonderful rental.

Beautiful condo! Great vacation spot!
Sand Pointe #227 is a beautiful condo. Everything you need is provided for you. The condo is spacious, nicely decorated and has a fabulous ocean view. The pool and beach are just a few steps from the condo. We've been vacationing on Sanibel for more than 20 years and look forward to coming back each year. We would definitely stay at Sand Pointe again in the future. Thank You!

Sand Pointe #227
The condo was exactly as described. The owner personally called to check that everything was fine which was very nice. We had great weather and swam most everyday in the heated pool. Nice complex and well kept. Showerheads may need replacement soon as spray was not great. We would definitely return again.

Beautiful Condo, Fantastic Vacation
We would highly recommend a stay at #227 at Sand Pointe Condominiums. We just returned from our vacation and couldn't have been more pleased with the accommodations offered by Mike & Beatrice. Mike made the booking process very easy and the condo was exactly like the pictures and descriptions. All of the furniture is in nice shape, beds are very comfortable and the kitchen is well-stocked. Our favorite place of all was the lanai, where we spent most of our time when at the condo. It is screened, large and has a table & chairs plus 2 rocking chairs. The pool at the complex was just right and the proximity to the beachfront was perfect for our family. The condo had two beach chairs and an umbrella for use; along with a drying rack for wet suits and towels. We highly recommend #227 and know that we will definitely be back again. Thank you Mike & Beatrice for sharing your vacation home with us.

It even pleased my picky husband!
Sand Pointe 227 was the perfect location for my family. The condo was beautifully decorated and everything was perfectly clean. We enjoyed breakfast on the lanai every morning and appreciated the smaller complex...it was relaxed and quiet, which was just what we needed. We hope to return to Sanibel again in the future and cannot imagine staying anywhere else. Even my husband, who is ambivalent about everything, couldn't say enough nice things about the condo. He has already recommended it to friends. Additionally, the owners are fabulous to work with. Their love of the island and their condo are evident!

Enjoyable Destination
We arrived at the time of tropical storm Debby. The first few days cloudy, windy and rainy, but after that it was great. We rented bicycles for the week. We rode them all over the island. We saw two alligators, snakes and lots of lizards. It was a nice place and would like to go back. This condo was very nice, and spacious for the four of us. My boys are 13 and 17 and they had their own room and bathroom which was good. I think there were just a couple of minor details of cleanliness of the commodes in bathrooms, kitchen cabinets, outside of microwave and frig could have been cleaned a little better. Not major. I am just a stickler about things being clean, so may not bother someone else. As for restaurants, the food was okay there. Over Easy Cafe is pretty good and Schanappers (sp) Hots - hot dogs, really good. We tried a few places out but did not find anything to "Wow".But, overall I would like to go back to Sanibel, and this condo would be great to stay in again, as well. The property management told me over phone there would be enough laundry soap for a week - not so. Two washing pods. For seven days, just not enough, and will have to rewash bath towels, etc. not enough for a week. Bring extra trash bags as well. Also, two beach chairs in condo. Very nice, but may need to bring extra if more than two of you. The owner was great to work with and appreciated his help.

The property was exactly as described, it was very clean, well-maintained and beautifully decorated The pictures are very accurate.. I would recommend it to friends and relatives. We loved the location, it was very calm and peaceful. The beach was so close, we loved sitting on the lanai and watching the ocean. We rented bikes from Billys and really enjoyed riding around the island. We rode our bikes to Lighthouse Beach and shelled during the afternoon low tides. The only suggestion would be for renters to bring their own beach chairs. We had a lovely vacation and would love to return next year.

Enjoyable stays every time!
We enjoyed many years on Sanibel, but only when we discovered #227 at Sandpointe did we really feel at home on the Island. We have stayed in #227 for many years and always have a great stay with our family. There are TV's and DVS's in all bedrooms and the livingroom and the unit is uncluttered and easy to maintain while still providing the necessities. The well-appointed kitchen, comfortable living area and the spectacular view from the lanai all helped to make our stay memorable. The location, mid-island, is great for getting to all the amenities as well as for shelling. The owners are great at responding and have been quick and helpful to rectify any issues that arise in booking or while at the condo. We are looking forward to returning again in 2013 for our vacation. I would highly reccomend #227 if you want a quiet, restful vacation

LOVE SANDPOINTE
We had a great time at Sanibel Island. Sand Pointe. It is our favorite condo unit of which we have always stayed through the years. Our condo was decorated beautifully, clean and well maintained. Had everything we needed. The view was really nice including the beach and the natural area with the pond. The lanai was a great place to enjoy coffee in the morning, read and enjoy the rocking chairs. They reminded us of home on the front porch. Owner's even called us on arrival to make sure all was well. Missed their call.However, the voice mail let us know they wanted us to be satisfied with everything their condo offered and that all was in order. We appreciated that very much. Hope to go back again and stay here.

SB227 has been our home away from home for over 10 years each November. Last year was our first 2 week stay which we hope to continue from now on. Every year something has been upgraded, and every year we are happier. How can you go wrong with such a terrific view and proximity to both a pool and the beach? Toasting the sunsets are among my favorite things to do daily during our stay.

Week in Paradise!
My daughter and I just got back from spending a week in your lovely condo. The pictures and amenities were exactly as described in the listing. I will reiterate what previous comments have said. The Sand Pointe complex is only 2 buildings so it is such a nice size. This condo is in the best building because you don't get the direct sunlight in the late afternoon/evening. What sets this condo apart from other condos I have stayed in is the ceiling fans in both bedrooms, living room and especially the lanai. Having these fans makes all the rooms more comfortable. Plus the views from the lanai are spectacular! My daughter and I spent a very relaxing week just reading and spending time at both the beach and the pool. This is my favorite time of year on Sanibel because it is already warm but not the rainy season and there are very few people because school is not out yet. We had several days where we had the pool to ourselves. Our favorite restaurants on Sanibel are Over Easy Cafe and Timbers. Favorite on Captiva is Key Lime Bistro. Thank you Mike and Beatrice for allowing my daughter and I to have a special mother/daughter week in your home in paradise!

Perfect!
We stayed at Sand Pointe 227 for a week and loved every minute of it! The condo was clean and well-maintained, it was quiet, the appliances were new and worked great, it was close to everything (including the beach, of course!), and overall a great experience. We won't stay anywhere else on Sanibel! Another nice touch was the owner actually called to check in on us the first day we were there, which was nice to know that we not only had the rental company to call for issues (which we had none), but Mike was also available to answer any other questions or concerns we might have had. It was a perfect vacation.

Excellent Vacation and Beautiful Condo!
This was a fantastic vacation for our family. Sand Pointe is a WONDERFUL property on Sanibel Island and it was just the right size. The condo itself was super nice. It was tastefully decorated and had all of the amenities to make you feel right at home. The condo is not right on the beach, but I actually preferred that this time. We still had a view of the ocean and the lagoon/pool area, but what we enjoyed was the expansive lanai (HUGE!) and the fact that we had lush landscaping to also see within our view. Our kids (6 and 3) really enjoyed the pool area and the beach, and although there were a great many families there the week we visited (spring break in many areas), it never seemed crowded at all. I also liked this condo for the fact that the afternoon sun wasn't always beating down on us like the other building on this property. I highly suggest this location for renting. We love Sanibel, and when we plan our next vacation there, I'm sure based on our experience we will be renting #227 if it is available!

Reserve your preferred vacation days for the summer now! Discounts available, especially for multiple weeks...
After we agree on our discounted "owner rate," every financial transaction will be handled directly by you with our property manager, "Royal Shell Vacations" (RSV). RSV is consistently rated as the "best property management company" on Sanibel Island.
Sand Pointe 227 is a great place for a week or longer vacation. Sand Pointe is located directly on the Gulf beach. It’s one of the smaller complexes on Sanibel (45 units). The 40-foot heated swimming pool is surrounded by tropical vegetation and is on the Gulf side of the property, close to the beach.
The view from the condo is straight out to the Gulf of Mexico. You will be looking at the water. The large screened lanai is a great place to have meals and to enjoy the view. Ceiling fans on the lanai make it pleasant year-round.
To assure your comfort and to reduce wear-and-tear on the condo, rentals are limited to groups of 4 people or less. There is a new Sealy Optimum Destiny II king size bed in the master bedroom (with access to lanai and another direct Gulf view) and twin beds in the second bedroom. There are ceiling fans in the bedrooms and living room. The condo is kept in top condition.
Furthermore, the bathrooms were recently completely renovated with new vanities (double in the master bath), tiling, lighting, walk-in shower (in the master bathroom), and bathtub shower (in the guest bathroom). In addition, other improvements were made throughout the condo, including pocket doors and a new master bedroom closet. New sofas in the living room and dining room chairs are the latest improvements for 2015! During October 2016, latest renovations included re-carpeting the living room and bedrooms; and re-tiling the kitchen and hallway....and also adding tiling to the lanai. Finally, in October 2017, a major furniture "refresh" was complete with a new master bedroom suite, guest beadroom suite, dining room furniture and entertainment center (photos to be updated on website soon...). During late 2017, all major furniture in the unit was replaced...
The kitchen has updated cabinets and granite counter tops. It is very well stocked with dishes, glasses, and cookware. The kitchen's sink and refrigerator both include filtered drinking water. Linen service provides an abundant supply of quality bath towels and washcloths. Washer and dryer are in the unit. Four beach chairs, two beach umbrellas and beach toys are kept on the lanai for guest use at the beach. However, please bring your personal beach towels for use on the beach.
There are flat screen HD TVs throughout the condo: a 52 inch TV in the living room, a 42 inch TV in the master bedroom, and a 26 inch TV in the second bedroom. There is a dedicated DVD player for each. We have hi-speed, broadband internet service through ethernet and WiFi.
The condo is a no-smoking unit. Pets are not allowed. This is a 'lock-it and check-out' unit. No need to strip linens, clean linens, etc before you leave...Just simply lock the unit, turn in the key to the office, and leave!
Rentals are normally from Saturday to Saturday, but during the off-season reasonable exceptions are made. MasterCard, Visa, Discover and AMEX are accepted for deposit (22%). Optional travel insurance is available.
House Rules
No smoking is permitted within the condo or on the condo's lanai. No pets are permitted in or around the Sand Pointe complex. No house parties are permitted.
