Let me start off by saying that Sanibel Holiday is GREAT to work with and Gulf Beach 205 is a wonderful condo. Short walk to the beach, great views. The condo has everything you could need in the kitchen. Comfy bed. We had an issue with the dishwasher- it didn't work and was not able to be fixed while we were there because they were waiting for a part. But Sanibel Holiday was very apologetic and offered anything we needed to wash dishes by hand. Be careful with the dryer- the lint trap is warped and things can get caught on it and then they end up twisting around. We had a swimsuit cover-up and shirt that were both destroyed by the dryer.

Our biggest issue with our trip this year was nothing that Sanibel Holiday could control, but it's something I wish I had been aware of when I booked this unit. Apparently boats are allowed to anchor off shore anywhere they want now, so the weekends were insane. At any given time on Friday-Sunday, there would be 15-20 or more boats anchored all over in the swimming area off the beach outside the condo. Many of them were blaring loud music. The boaters would come to shore and leave trash all over. If I wanted party beach, I'd have gone to FMB. It was extremely disappointing to have our quiet little place to watch birds and sea life disrupted by the noise and pollution that the boats brought. Next time we go to Sanibel we are going to stay further west on the island to see if it's better there.

Loved this condo!

Gulf Beach 205 was amazing! Beautiful, updated . Gulf view is perfect and simply WOW as soon as you walk in ! I wanted to pack up the kitchen and bring it home. Friendly greetings from the owners await on the small table. Keyless entry was much easier. Well equipped unit. Lots of books , great tvs. Lanai was a favorite spot ( drying rack a definite +) Sanibel Holiday staff always a huge help. But there’s definitely a lot to say about this lovely unit.

Have stayed at Gulf Beach many times over the past 20 years. This was the nicest unit: updated kitchen, beautiful MB shower, nicely decorated, lovely ocean view. WiFi and AC instructions easy to follow. Our one wish would be for beach towels (bring your own) and extra sheets. Overall, a great experience.

I had contacted Sanibel Holiday for some suggestions for a place that was in a less crowded location on the beach. Their recommendation was spot on. The complex is nice, but this particular unit was nicest! It’s one of the most well-stocked units I have ever rented (and I’ve been coming to Sanibel for almost 40 years now). That makes such a huge difference when you want to relax on vacation and not have to worry about anything. This was also the cleanest unit I can remember ever staying in. Everything appears to be brand new, and all appliances worked great. Sanibel Holiday was immensely helpful. I had specific priorities when deciding on a place, and they totally delivered. I will never use any other agency besides them from now on. They are superior to the others that I have used on the island. I would recommend this unit to anyone looking for a top notch room. We did not go anywhere on the island besides the beach, so our location was important. And we were stuck inside for 48 hours due to tropical storm Elsa, so that made a comfortable unit even more important than usual! Only things I have to offer as far as constructive criticism; the grilling area is a bit sad; just one little grill in the middle of the front yard. Definitely served it’s purpose and we made do with it, but we really enjoy grilling while we’re there so that’s always a priority for us. Also, the pool area could use some updating. Those thing have nothing to do with the room, but could definitely improve our overall impression of the complex as a whole. Also, the lanai has a tiny tear in the screen, which prevented us from keeping those doors open during the day because of mosquitoes. But all minor issues IMO.

The property location is the best on the island. The condo is spacious and bright. The kitchen has everything needed for times when you want a home cooked meal. The property is well maintained. There is room to spread out and the lanai is amazing. The owner offers outstanding customer service. We had difficulty connecting to the internet and the owner corrected it immediately. The pool area is relaxing and well maintained.
We enjoy Tarpon Bay, Ding Darling, and the short drive to Ft. Myers.
Highly recommend The Lighthouse Restaurant and Sanibel Fish House.

We, family of 4 adults and 2 children, loved our Sanibel vacation. The unit we rented was perfect for us. The location on the beach was ideal. Not crowded at all. We loved waking up to see and hear the beach. We found the pool to be delightful, warm to swim in. Smaller group for sure. The locker with beach needed items was plentiful. There are chairs, umbrella and beach toys. We even left a few items. We rented bikes and rode daily. We will definitely return

Thank you for your 5 star review of your recent stay at Gulf Beach #205! We love the quiet location of this very small, 14 unit property. Each unit has direct Gulf front views and nearly all units offer access to the ground level storage lockers stocked with all the beach equipment your family could need. We hope your travel plans bring you south to Sanibel very soon!

Our trip to Sanibel was fantastic. The condo we stayed in was private, clean, and the view was beautiful. We were nearly alone on this properties private beach! We will return

Manager's Response

We love Gulf Beach for many things but 1st and foremost is that it is only a 14 unit property so most of the time you feel like you have the whole property to yourself! All units have direct gulf views and most all provide access to the ground level storage lockers which are stocked with all the beach equipment your family needs. Gulf Beach is also biking or walking distance to the best breakfast on the island at the Lighthouse Cafe. We look forward to your return to Sanibel and Gulf Beach!

Perfect location! Condo was extremely well equipped for anything you could want on a vacation. The place was exactly as the pictures portrayed on the website, very clean and updated. Sanibel Holidays fast response to the broken elevator was impressive & appreciated. They checked in with us midweek & provided updates on the red tide issues the island was experiencing & were to seek medical help if necessary. I would definitely use Sanibel Holidays for all my future bookings!

This was the third time my wife and I spent time in what has become a treasured part of our lives. The Gulf Beach condos have been a great place to base our stays. Easy to get to, perfectly equipped, good access to the beach, there is a reason why we have chosen to reside here on each visit. Easy walking distance from the Lighthouse Cafe for breakfast doesn't hurt either. ??

We had a lovely time at GB205. Great view from the balcony; good place to hear and see the ocean and enjoy the sunset. The unit was upgraded, including the bathrooms and kitchen and linens. Made use of the pool; it was all ours, without a soul in sight. And, we received quality customer service (at check-in and check-out) from the manager of the unit.

Great!!!! Love the updated bathrooms...wonderful improvements! The lighting could use some help though...brighter bulbs especially in the guest bath. New porch furniture and fan would be nice...a lounge chair?
We love it though!

The perfect place to relax.

This was the third time my wife and I spent time in what has become a treasured part of our lives. The Gulf Beach condos have been a great place to base our stays. Easy to get to, perfectly equipped, good access to the beach, there is a reason why we have chosen to reside here on each visit. Easy walking distance from the Lighthouse Cafe for breakfast doesn't hurt either. ??
