i will start by saying I NEVER write reviews. We used THL last year and the experience was great…read more This year however was horrible. Starting with sending a deposit for a house and not hearing from them for 10 months. I contacted them and was told they "tried" to contact me to tell me the house was no longer available because of a fire. They had my $8,000. They had another house available we could use. It was more money, less rooms but available. Please note my email never changed. Because we had no choice we said ok to the house. the BBQ had to be replaced the first day. The refrigerator had a frost problem and the water and ice didn't work so I had to buy ice for the month. One of the bathrooms was clogged and had to be "jetted" and all the baths needed to be sanitized. Random fire alarms went off, once at 2am. The pool wasn't serviced for 13 days and turned green. Couldn't swim for 4 days. Many more problems. Was told not to use them because of complaints. Gave away my 2026 rental even with a signed contract. Horrible and unprofessional I received a credit of $500 for all of these problems. should get no stars

Nice rental condo - owners are very nice and responsive. Master Bedroom and bath are…read moreawesome...nicely decorated...updated too...Nice location in Sanibel, nice beach. Awesome views. There were five of us staying, everything was nice, clean and in great working condition. I would suggest that the other bathroom be updated - while clean - it was very dated. We rented with close friends in June 2017 - we had a great time....The overall facility is older, I am guessing from the 1970's....well maintained, however, could use some updating. Would I recommend staying here? Yes. Great value. Great for families! Thanks for a very nice time.

Upon entering C35 the first thing I saw was the majestic view of the Gulf of Mexico. It was…read morebeautiful. When my eyes finally fell away from the view I could then appreciate the beauty of the condo. The renovations had been completed and when I looked around I could truly appreciate the efforts. The condo has a beach theme throughout that was beautifully subtle and not over the top. The bedrooms had good closets and dressers available. The bathroom showers were clean and had good pressure. There is a washer/dryer in the condo that works fine. The kitchen is quite large and has every kitchen utensil/small appliance I think you could ever need. (I am a very basic cook.) The mattresses were quite comfortable and so was the furniture. There are TVs in every bedroom and the living room. There are tons of hooks to organize, hang, and dry items. The screened in porch was fantastic. Having coffee on the porch in the quiet of the early morning was just amazing. Finally, my interactions with Sharon, the owner, were informative. You can tell by talking to her that she has put her heart into both of her properties. (She owns C36 which is next door too.) She also is dedicated to making sure that your expectations are met throughout the week. You cannot go wrong at C35. I guess I should mention what a great experience I had on Sanibel as well. Everyone was very friendly and fun. The beach was amazing. We saw Sea turtle nest and hermit crabs. We went to some amazing restaurants and saw great wildlife and vegetation. I am gluten intolerant and have never had so many dining out options where people are so well informed. I look forward to my next visit

We absolutely loved the quaintness of the Colony Inn on Sanibel…read more We were fortunate to stay in Unit C-13, a corner unit that is warm and welcoming: it offered lots of privacy, plenty of sunshine, and a great view of the pool (just what "us" New Yorkers needed!)

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.

This is a long read...but worth it…read more In 1974 my loving, stoic and incredibly generous grandparents stayed at the Holiday Inn on Sanibel Island, Florida. My mother and father accompanied them. As did I ....well, in utero at least. This past year my mother showed me the first waterslide that I ever went down. (while I was in her of course) and my first question was "Did I put my hands up? Back in '74 my family took a walk down the beach and encountered the very first time share property in the United states.(under the current time share model) The rustic but lavish villas have changed almost zero percent, as has the rest of this commerical free island. Buildings of four spacious units with all amenities surround a central pool and BBQ area. Within 20 minutes on monday morning of your shared week you either know everyone from years past or meet them over a noon time beer, and anyone that was a stranger before becomes part of the family in an instant. On tuesday of week 11 at 230 every year we all gather by the pool for a week 11 group photo. This year me and the brothers had fun trading barbs and Bud Light with a pack of Canadians that most likely found us as arrogant as we found them. But it was all "one love." All of the new grandkids (9 of them) got to see Sanibel for the first time and we spent most of the day tending to them and seeing that thier attention span was catered to. You may think that may bother a man of my speed but I have to say that it was quite the opposite. I don't get to see them but once a year and to be able to spend a week with them with no pressure was pure bliss for "uncle Rooney" Of course having been here on Sanibel Island since I was in utero I know that this tropical paradise is dead after dinner, as was most of us. The term "nightlife" if nonexistent. When we were juveniles the lack of activity allowed our inner felons to emerge in the form of golf cart theft. We would stake out country clubs and beachside resorts with loose carts by day ala Oceans 11 only to return at night for a deliciously illegal joy ride courtesy of an EZgo (sun roof optional). WIth Jack Daniels in tow (we were over 14 of course) we shuttled drunken minors (blondes in the front) that were also on vacay with thier parents to and from the hottest beach parties and thier respective resorts. Of course stealing golf carts at 35 would be a felony and I have no where near that much courage these days, so I was happy to bask in the sun, walk the perfect beach, try and figure out if that hot chick was speaking German or Dutch, argue with my brothers over fights and basketball, make creative cocktails, kill a hangover in a morning pool swim, and love on my ever expanding family for days on end. If I was to want to spend the rest of my life in one spot...it would no doubt be week 11 on Sanibel Island. The simplest life is sometimes the best...as long as its 85 with clear skies of course. ;-)
