Sand Pointe 212 - Gulf view vacation rental condominium

10/10 Excellent

"We enjoyed our stay, esp the comfortable patio furniture."

Stunning Gulf views! Pointe Santo Updated - 2BD 2BATH

10/10 Excellent

"We enjoyed every minute of our time spent at Point Santo- the condo was beautiful, had everything we needed with plenty of space to spread out and relax, and it was the easiest check in process ever. This location is perfect, you can walk out to the beach several times a day and not have to worry about driving, parking, and lugging all of your stuff out to the sand and then back to your vehicle. Super easy to get DoorDash, Walmart and Amazon deliveries, and the CVS is literally 1 mile away, so you can stay away from the business of Ft Meyers altogether if you’d like. Scooters pizza also delivers for another easy dinner option. The property feels very safe, I had no issues staying alone with my 3 daughters. This was our second year staying at Point Santo and the first at B3- we will definitely stay again if it’s available next year when we come. Thanks for having us!!"

Sanibel 1-bedroom beachfront condo!

10/10 Excellent

Good communication and very thorough information on the condo, resort and the surrounding area. The owner of the unit even stopped by to introduce himself and made sure we were enjoying our stay."
