Perfect. Just Perfect
by
Sarah
This condo is beautiful, spacious, comfortable, and ideally located. With the elevator right at the parking space, it is easy to move in. With a fully stocked beach closet with chairs, umbrellas, and other beach/pool items, we were able to enjoy the beach immediately upon arrival. We spent a lot of time on the lanai and enjoyed the views, the breeze, and the sunsets. We are looking forward to booking again!
Beach Week
by
Maggie
We stay at Sundial every summer for our family reunion. We have 9 families that rent condos there to get together from several states. This condo was very clean and nicely furnished. We eat out most of the week so I’m not sure how well equipped the kitchen is for cooking big meals but it was very adequate for the amount of cooking that we did.
Great Location Near the Beach
by
Paul
First impression was that this building was constructed to withstand some serious high winds and heavy rainfall. And during the week Hurricane Elsa developed and gave us a taste of the impact from a Cat 1 hurricane but we felt totally safe and secure in our lodging as we watched the system pass through out in the Gulf of Mexico. We were a party of five, four adults and one youth, and had ample room to spread out and enjoy our stay. The kitchen wasn’t huge but adequate for the few meals we actually prepared during our weeklong stay which were mostly breakfasts and a couple of suppers. Other than that, the island is filled with a variety of restaurants to meet almost any taste for good home cooked meals. The beach is a short walk from the condo; about the length of a football field but on a well maintained pathway. We had a great time and are already making plans to return to the same spot next year, if it is still available.

We LOVE Sanibel
by

We LOVE Sanibel. We have a lot of families that come to Sundial for Spring Break and this is the condo to stay! We had teens with us and it was perfectly spaced for everyone. Plenty of towels, beach chairs, beds, pools, and more. We will rent this condo again and definitely recommend. We’ve been coming for many years and this unit was by far the best one we’ve stayed in. Thanks for having us!!! #MemoriesMade

Beautiful Condo, Beautiful Views!
by
Amy
Loved this place! It’s hard to find a 3-bedroom property on Sanibel but this comfortably fit our family, 1 adult couple, separate adult and 2 kids. The kids loved the den with two twin beds. Cute property nicely maintained with pretty views of the ocean and beach.
Sensational Sanibel
by
Michele
We love Sundial East. Unit Q-401 is exactly as advertised online. Great view of the gulf. Conveniently located near the elevator. The storage unit had a beach cart, beach chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards and other small beach toys. It was wonderful to have a washer and dryer in the unit. Our only issue was with the very slow WiFi connection. We would definitely book this location again.

Four star family vacation
by
Tom
**** Located in the Sundial complex. The unit layout and furniture worked very well with two bedrooms and another space that can be closed off as a third bedroom, which would work well for kids/teens and even my adult son’s gaming setup. Nice that they provided beach chairs and umbrellas. Beach view was better than expected given it is towards the back of the building, but it was good. Only withholding one star for slow WIFI. Otherwise, no reservations to rent it again.
Everything we needed to have a wonderful beach experience
by
Tom
Clean, comfortable, well equipped, everything we needed to have a wonderful beach experience. ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This unit has everything you will need for a visit to Sanibel. Very clean and the management had maintenance fix a slow drain the same day we called. Would stay here again – in unit washer/dryer is a real bonus.
Perfection in Sanibel!
by
Shannon
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This was our first time in Sanibel and we loved every second. This condo was perfect for our family of 8. The condo was clean and comfortable. It was steps away from the beach and had all of the amenities needed to make it our home away from home for the week. The pool was great as were the grounds-they were kept perfectly. We found the beds comfortable after long days of exploring Sanibel. There were plenty of bike racks for all of our bikes and the covered parking came in handy on numerous occasions. The elevator did break for the second part of the trip which wasn’t a big deal to us but was a little cumbersome for my parents. This unit had a locker with beach chairs and umbrellas and several beach toys my kids enjoyed using. We will definitely be back!

Sanibel Great Times
by
Family from Michigan
We had a great time! We went to the Rotary Art Show, enjoyed dinner at Doc Ford’s. Trader’s, Lazy Flamingo, Mucky Duck, Lighthouse Café and Bennett’s for breakfast. We enjoyed back bay fishing with Clarence Reed @ Sea Reed Charters- highly recommend. Our boys took their fresh catch over to Lazy Flamingo where they friend them up-YUM. As for the rest- what happens in Sanibel stays in Sanibel. Many thanks for sharing your home.

Great Weather and Fun!
by

We had great weather and we all had so much fun! We found lots of Conch shells it was so much fun! We love the condo, it is so nice and we really enjoyed the ice cream shop at the pool. We also went fishing and caught lots of fish. We caught Trout big enough to cook so we took it to Lazy Flamingo and they cooked it for us and it tasted really good. We enjoyed the view. Thank you for letting us use your condo.

Great Labor Day Weekend
by
Family from Florida
Great Labor Day weekend. We stay in Sanibel 2 times per Summer- so this is our last trip here until Summer 2016. We really enjoyed your condo. Our family found Baby Puffer fish about the size of your fingernail, many fighting Conch, a Sea Cucumber and of course Sanddollars. We saw 5 Dolphins on our last morning! We enjoyed watching Anger Management. We left 2 Seabeans on the top shelf.
