We just returned from an absolutely wonderful family vacation at Pointe Santo B31, in Sanibel Island. The booking process was very simple. We initially found the unit via Vacationrentals, and then spoke directly with Gordon Wells on the phone. He answered all of our questions and concerns, and the rental process itself was very straightforward through Waterstone. The condo itself is a beautiful 3rd floor unit, with views of the pool and pond area in the center of the complex, as well as of the Gulf. The screened in lanai has a ceiling fan and is perfect for outdoor meals. Plus, it was always nice to sit out there and have a couple of drinks in the evening, while just listening to the waves. It is spacious, fully furnished, and stocked with everything you would need for a vacation ,or to even live there!. The Wells family even have a storage unit full of any type of beach amenities one would desire, such as chairs, umbrellas, noodles, pails, shovels, toys, fishing rods, etc. We made good use of the pails for our shelling, and our 1 year old loved the toy trucks! All you have to do is bring yourself, and your clothes. There are 2 main grocery stores on the island, Bailey's and Jerry's. They are both fairly close, and we shopped at both, but we definitely preferred Jerry's. They had a much wider selection of brands as well as more items to choose from. The prices are slightly more expensive than you may find at mainland grocery stores, but not alarmingly so. Another very big plus of this condo, is that it is an end unit in the building. As such, the guest bedroom window does not face the outside walkway, as all other non-end units do. Rather it has a garden view. As such, you don't have to worry about people walking just outside your window....a big benefit if you have children staying in the guest room.
Overall, it was a wonderful and relaxing stay. The Pointe Santo complex is beautiful, well maintained, and in a prime location. We also made good use of their pool. We would highly recommend the Wells' condo B31, and also want to say Thank You again to Gordon and Mary Katherine for helping us make the most of our first vacation in 4 years! R.P.
