With that said, Sanibel Siesta on the Beach is an absolutely gorgeous place to stay if you're visiting Captiva Island. The staff is great, and the condos and grounds are excellently taken care of. They have recently rebuilt and renovated some parts after the storm causing some damage. I would come back when I'm back in Florida, and stay here for a 3rd time if I can!

I truly recommend anyone who travels to Sanibel to stay at pelicans roost. The pool is really nice to cool down in when it's warm. The tennis court is perfect for anyone who want to play some tennis when their not out and about or by the pool. Their location is close by the beach only 10 m and it's not too crowded and it's a perfect place to round out your day and have a picnic or lay on during the day.

We stayed in unit 304 and it was such a great and pleasant stay…read more My review is going to be bases on the condominium resort as a whole rather then the individual unit. The resort is small which is wonderful because you don't have to worry about over crowding at the pool, on the beach or parking and no worries of not having enough chairs or umbrellas to use. The resort has beautiful landscaping and appears well taken care of. The pool area is very nice and offers plenty of chairs in the sun and the shade. The pool was kept very clean and they had floats and noodles for guest to use. The grilling area offers 2 nice gas grills. The area was nice, clean and the grills were kept in great shape. There is a pickle ball court to use. The walkway to the beach is nice, excellent condition and has a foot wash off as well as a shower. The resort provides chairs and umbrellas for the guest to use. The office manager was very friendly and helpful. No complaints at all from us!!

SANDALFOOT DOES NOT CARE ABOUT YOUR SAFETY AND VIOLATES THE ADA…read more My family and I stayed here for the last 4 days. I am elderly and recovering from a recent hip operation. On the second day, we were informed that the elevator was broken and they didn't know when it would be fixed, which is an ADA violation. Then they told us it was fixed and safe to use, only to then reveal (after we and others had been using it) that it wasn't actually fixed and could "stop at any time". Our rooms were on the third floor and they didn't not offer us a room on the first floor until we brought up the fact that it is incredibly dangerous for me to be using stairs (and also an ADA violation), and when they did, it was only for me so I was separated from my family which is dangerous if I fell. My family had to help me down 3 flights of stairs, which was incredibly stressful. We received no empathy from staff. It is illegal to not provide safe exit routes for ALL tenants. The fact that we had to tell them that in order for them to begrudgingly offer us a room on the first floor is ridiculous and disappointing. The incompetent support team was very dismissive and disrespectful to my granddaughter. They even suggested that she sign a waiver saying that SHE would be personally responsible if anyone was trapped or injured in the elevator. That would not hold up in any court and is an absolutely despicable thing to suggest. They acted like I was an inconvenience. It put a huge damper on what should have been a lovely family vacation. Aside from the very illegal waiver they asked us to sign, undignified disrespect and general incompetence (their customer service is outsourced and does not communicate with hotel staff), they locked us out of our rooms before check-out time and didn't offer any kind of compensation for their carelessness. They also gave us a whole list of chores to complete before leaving which wasn't explained to us upon arrival. Their site should be more transparent about them expecting tenants to perform their own housekeeping. If you are elderly, disabled, or simply want to be treated kindly, please avoid this place. 0/100

I will say it's a bit pricey, but it was Memorial weekend and you are literally on the water. Not sure what the off season rates are but there's a 3 night minimum. The condos are fully furnished and equipped with all your needs. They even had beach chairs, beach towels and coolers available. The bathrooms were a bit grungy and outdated. But overall the condos are kept pretty clean. We had unit 3D3 and it was super spacious. Parking was right out front. There are several local markets in the area to stock up on food,albeit a bit pricey. I recommend you stop at publix before entering island. If ever in Sanibel again, I will definitely book my stay here.

This trip the dryer in our condo was squeaking badly, but the office was quick to get in touch with the owners and get it fixed within a couple days. The path to the beach is beautiful and the beaches are excellent. It is right next door to a public beach that has a great playground for the kiddies. My only issue is a small one, but the condo owners seem to skimp on the internet. Not really in the condo during the day, but at night as soon as one kid hops on YouTube it takes any other device five minutes to load google. It is irritating, but there is no place I would rather stay in the island!

5 stars for a solid rental company…read more My wife's family likes to check out various parts of Florida each summer. We all decided it would be fun to check out Sanibel Island during our last trip. However, we found it was difficult to find rental properties in the right location (near the beach) for the right price for our timeframe (an entire week). Fortunately, we came across Island Vacations of Sanibel & Captiva. They were able to set us up in a nice little house on Gulf Drive right off of Periwinkle. It was less than a block away from a fantastic ice cream shop (Pinocchio's) and a short walk to beaches on both sides of the island. The house itself was very nice. It was kept in very good shape, included lots of instructions and helpful guides for the area and included a shed full of fun beach toys! Everything in the house was convenient and worked well, which made it easier to focus on having a good time during our trip. Overall, Island Vacations on Sanibel and Captiva provides a solid rental property option. While the property wasn't a mansion, the great location, cleanliness, small perks and great price make this a great option for people who are looking to visit the island.

A special thank you to Kari, the resort manager, whose leadership clearly shows in every detail of the property. The cleaning team deserves recognition as well -- our room was spotless, well-stocked, and refreshed daily with clean towels and linens. Their hard work made our stay comfortable and relaxing. Beautiful beach, inviting pool, great barbecue areas, and a welcoming atmosphere all around. We highly recommend Sanibel Moorings and look forward to returning.

We stayed in Captiva, and then West Middle and East gulf rentals. We discovered we are East gulf people, and love this low-key middle sized resort! Two story 8 unit buildings are sprinkled around the beautiful landscaping, giving it a real European village vibe. I could swim laps for an hour in the heated pool, even on a unusually cold rainy day . My husband and I bike the back bike trails to the Lighthouse point and Wickies and Gramma Dots restaurants and shopping. An easy walk to Dante's restaurant and a little island tiki bar nearby, it has provided the best of every world for us. Love hearing the waves and fresh breeze in the morning from my bedroom balcony, and I also enjoy a living room balcony, the units are all individual, something for everyone, and it's located south of the Causeway so you never get caught in periwinkle traffic leaving the island for more adventures.

On a recent week-long retreat to Sanibel Island, three of my friends and I called Pointe Santo…read morehome... and what a home it was. This place was fantastic, it had everything a group of gals could need for a week of sand, surf, and sun. The condos at Pointe Santo are individually owned, therefore they are not all available for rent. We rented through Sanibel Holiday and were lucky to score a top floor unit. The unit itself had ALL the amenities of home. A fully applianced kitchen, washer/dryer, two bedrooms (slept up to 6), two bathrooms, dining area, living room with flat screen television, screened-in lanai, and since we were on the top floor... private rooftop access!! The view of the grounds from our outdoor space was gorgeous. 360 degrees of palm trees, beach, and open sky. Air conditioning and ceiling fans provided a sanctuary from the July mid-day heat. The grounds are impeccably maintained. Amenities abound... --Heated Pool and Jacuzzi (with adult swim times!) --Free Wi-Fi, easy-to-access and quick speeds --Community BBQ grills --Clubhouse that sells smoothies, ice cream, and other goodies --Dedicated parking spaces for each unit --Bicycle Racks, Tennis Courts, Shuffleboard, Kids Activities Two of my favorite things about this complex included the on-site lagoon as well as direct beach access. There is nothing better than waking up in the morning, eating breakfast on the roof overlooking the palm trees swaying in the island breeze surrounding the lagoon, then throwing a suit on and walking directly out to the beach. It made catching sunrises/sunsets, wildlife, and a great spot on the beach a breeze! There are complimentary lounge chairs at the pool and the beach, a station to wash off sand from shells (and yourself!), a even a beach volleyball court. As with the rest of the island, the grounds were full of wildlife - I spotted turtles, dolphins, rabbits, lizards, and all varieties of bird within steps of my front door. I would stay here again in a heartbeat! Paradise for sure!

We booked unit A37 at Pointe Santo for a week. The view from the unit is stellar. It has wide gulf…read moreviews!!! Unfortunately that is the only thing it has going for it. The unit has multiple opportunities for improvement. The decore is old, the rugs are stained, the layout is awkward and the second bathroom almost inaccessible. You'd have to be the thin man to get in. The oven and cooktop are old and do not work well. The kitchen is minimally stocked. The knives as dull, the cookware worn and so on. But my biggest pet peeve was with the giant light fixture hanging over the cooktop. All it did was accumulate grease and get in the way. The AC is a two ton unit, the condo is 2100 sq feet. It was very warm in the unit. I have never rented in Point Santo before dispite having been to Sanibel many times. If A37 is the best they have to offer I won't be renting there again.
