Sanibel Siesta on the Beach
We were extremely happy with the condo. Everything worked well, very comfortable and equipped with all and more. If anything was missing, we just went to the office and they supplied it right away. Friendly management team and right on one of the best beaches on Sanibel in our view. Plenty of space ...
