Shalimar Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Great view of beach from screened balcony. Almost a private pool while we were there for 5 nights. Room was perfect! Staff was very nice."

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"
