Sanibel Surfside 216

I so enjoyed returning to Sanibel after more than 10 years! It was a relaxing time away. The condo met our needs perfectly.

We had a great time in Sanibel. Entire family (15 of us) stayed at Sanibel Surfside and enjoyed ourselves immensely.

Cute and comfortable condo only a few steps from the beach. 1st floor access is very convenient.
I spent a wonderful week at this property. Grateful that the condo provided beach chairs.
SBL Vacations was great in delivering a bike.
The location of this condo is perfect - on the beach - a 5 minute drive from the causeway.
This was my second stay at Surfside #216 - loved it.
Thank you to SBL Vacations for a great service!

6th time staying in this condo. Another great 3-week vacation, marred only by Hurricane Elsa (lots of rain & wind), but only 2 days lost at the beach & no power outages. Love Sanibel Surfside.

We love Sanibel and Captiva! This was our first time staying on the island though and it was wonderful. The rental was perfect. It was very cute, clean and excellent location. Just steps away from the beach and pool. Condo comes with beach chairs and umbrella which was very useful! We rented bikes and restaurants and stores were a close bike ride away. Beautiful weather and beautiful place. I would definitely recommend this property and location. Check in and check out we’re also so easy! Thank you.

Surfside 216 is a very nice condo. Roomy kitchen and nice mattresses and bedding. Well equipped kitchen. Very clean. Facility is small enough that pool and beach a close. Also centrally located on island. SBL Vacations are great to work with and went above and beyond. No complaints.

Excellent location steps to the beach. Nice tennis courts.
Enjoyed the updated kitchen & baths. Unit was very clean & bright.
The living room furniture needs replacing. It was so uncomfortable.
No remaining support in cushions.
Few glitches with cable tv but ultimately resolved.

Dear Emily, Thank you for your review of Sanibel Surfside #216. The location of the unit is perfect and being steps away from our beautiful beaches is definitely a bonus! I apologize for the uncomfortable furniture. We will pass that information onto the owner. We would love for you to come back to Sanibel next year, and maybe we could look at booking you in a different unit, within the same property. We look forward to welcoming you back.

The overall rental experience from SBL was excellent. The SBL team is very helpful and accommodated our special requests.

Sanibel Surfside 216 has been updated in the dining area and the bathrooms. My only complaint was that the air conditioning in the master bedroom was so loud that it sounded like an airplane taking off - needless to say it disturbed our sleep. SBL arranged for someone to come in and look at it, but they were unable to fix this problem at the time.

We have been staying at the Sanibel Surfside (many different condo's) and our family loves the building complex itself.

This is as relaxing of a vacation as you want to make it - you can choose to sit on the beach in front of the building OR
- you can take long walks or bike ride
- you can visit the wildlife sanctuaries
- you can go fishing (either charter on on your own!)
- there are many great restaurants on both Sanibel and Captiva, there are no problems finding good food.

We have been coming to the Islands for 20+ weeks for an easy getaway - love it!

We had a wonderful time. Rental was spotless and the kitchen and bathrooms were very up to date. Loved being able to walk to beach-just steps away. Will rent from this group again.

We found Sanibel Vacations and Sanibel Surfside online after the condo we had been staying in for years was unavailable. Everything, from start to finish, was great. The communication, check-in/check-out, accommodations...everything! The condo was great, location to the beach, pool, all fabulous. Already booked it for next year!

Overall a very positive experience. Condo grounds are very well maintained and quiet. Very short walk through the parking lot to the beach. We rented bikes from SBL, which is a must for Sanibel. Condo was clean, but does need some updating in baths and kitchen.

Pool was nice. Poolhouse not open. We were in last condo so view was just ok. Had everything it should have in condo (small cooler, dishes, beach chairs)

We made a short term decision to visit Sanibel in high season, and would have been disappointed were it not for Sanibel Vacations, LLC. They arranged us a short stay in a delightful condo. The condo was beautifully decorated and sparkling clean. Landscaping was incredible; pool clean and refreshing; short path out to the beach. We will definitely return

Had a wonderful stay at Sanibel Surfside! The condo is very clean and abundantly provided for all of our needs. Lots of natural lighting with a view of the ocean from the lanai and living room. Beautiiful sunrises, but sunsets cannot be seen from this Sanibel location. Abundant shells, beautiful weather, and a quiet location to rest and restore. We are thankful!

I thought for $2000 plus, the condo was not a good value. For that price I expected updated furnishings, decor, granite countertops. And the ad stated a water view, which was quite a stretch. You could maybe see the water if you stood in the corner of the screen porch. Very stingy on the supplies. One roll of paper towel and 2 rolls of toilet paper for over 2 grand? Really? We were not given any dishwasher soap at all but when I called the mgmt. co. they did drop off a couple of packets within an hour so I will give them credit for their quick response.

Clean and a great complex. TV's in the bedrooms did not work / we could not figure it out. Great beach and good location.

We rented #216 at Sanibel Surfside--beautiful and comfortable and a view of the water from the lanai. Had a fabulous time.

We LOVED our stay at Surfside Splendor!
wish we would have stayed two weeks. Condo was beautiful and had everything that we needed. Close to beach with good shelling. Very quiet and relaxing! Nice retreat from the cold climate in Idaho. Enjoyed the Christmas/Luminary Festival on Sanibel. Would recommend this condo and Sanibel to anyone who wants to get away from the hectic lifestyle. Management company was very accommodating.

Two friends and I spent two weeks here late February-early March and enjoyed everything about it. The property was clean, well laid out and roomy, Rob responded promptly to our requests: new beach umbrella, non-slip shower mat, bike rental and locks, tool to adjust bike seats, follow up when the electricity went off in a storm. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking utensils, and we grilled out a couple of times--the property provides two nice gas grills beside the heated pool(which we also liked). We had a sliver of view of the ocean from the lanai, where we spent a lot of time. The walk to the beach was short and easy, with a good place to wash off our shells and sandy feet on the way back in. I liked the fact that the property was small and quiet, and our unit was situated in a way that gave us a lot of privacy. Not seeing another lanai from ours was really nice. I will be happy to stay here again.

Before vacationing on Sanibel,, obtain a map of the island. I think Chris Christie may be in charge of traffic flow here so you want to look for ways of avoiding Perriwinkle drive whenever possible. With pedestrian, bicycle and other traffic you need to be alert! Fantastic wildlife refuge and beaches!
