Kona Kai Motel

10/10 Excellent

"Newly renovated, excellent location, quiet and safe for solo travelers."

Sanibel 1-bedroom Beachfront Condo!

10/10 Excellent

"The condo was perfect for us! Its right beside the best beach for shelling. Its also right in the middle of everything on the island but far enough away for a relaxing setting. We truly enjoyed our visit and can't wait to come back with the family."

Ultimate Sanibel Beachfront! Island Beach Club, Top Floor, West-Facing, End Unit

10/10 Excellent

"Our 6th trip to Sanibel!While we’ve stayed at this group of condos before and liked the location quite well, this was our first stay at THIS Aunit.The penthouse full-view of the Gulf was extraordinary!! Exactly as described! And very nice that, as the condo is at the farthest end of the building, there are no neighbors visible!Everything about the condo was top of the line! From the way the kitchen was equipped to the high thread-count silky sea-green sheets…and everything in between!A lit-from-within tower for beautiful glasses and a similarly lit wine cabinet were two of my favorite things! Communication w the owners was outstanding! Couldn’t have wished for better. And keyless entry w passcode! No searching for the key! And a telescope! Tripod-mounted for simplicity. Fabulous views!Will definitely return to Sanibel for a 7th trip & hope to find this highly sought-after condo available! Jim & wife Terry from Michigan"

★Panoramic Gulf Views★ Direct Beachfront Corner Unit in Platinum Rated Complex

10/10 Excellent

"Beautifully furnished condo with wonderful views of the beach/ocean. Big and spacious but cozy. Master has big bathroom and closets. Beach chairs, towels and other beach items made it so easy to go the beach! Great area, lovely grounds, very pristine. Would definitely return. Nice as it is a smaller complex so not a crowded feeling at all. Very clean!!!! Melissa was very responsive and easy to communicate with. A “10” for sure."

Sundial F407 | Charming Coastal Getaway | Sea Breeze

10/10 Excellent

"This condo was spacious, comfy beds & pillows with room darkening curtains (which was nice to be able to sleep in). The beach was super close! The elevator was helpful but slow. My only suggestion, since this condo only has a view of other condos, would be to plant something colorful in the "sand circle" outside, so the balcony has a better view. Otherwise, would definitely stay here again."
