Really good Condo Experience

I loved my stay in condo #142! It was tastefully decorated and equipped with a wonderful kitchen and family room. The king bedroom was super comfortable, making it feel like a home away from home. I couldn't have asked for a better place to unwind and enjoy our vacation!

Perfect Relaxation Spot

The beautiful gardens at Sanibel Moorings really enhanced my stay. Every morning, I enjoyed breakfast on the lanai while soaking in the serene surroundings. The beach was just a minute away, and I found lounge chairs and umbrellas readily available for my comfort during my seaside relaxation.

Fun Beach Amenities

The convenience of lounge chairs, beach chairs, and umbrellas was amazing! I loved that I could easily carry them to the beach. I also had the chance to kayak and explore the nearby canals, which made for some fun physical activity during my stay.

Great Entertainment Options

I had a fantastic time during my stay! The condo was beautifully decorated and included numerous entertainment options for the evenings. The staff provided a new DVD player when we encountered an issue, showing their commitment to guest satisfaction. This place truly felt like home!

I had a wonderful stay at this resort, where the beautiful surroundings made for a relaxing vacation. The rooms were spotlessly clean and had everything we needed, although a few things were showing their age. The service was fantastic and made us feel special throughout our stay. While the facilities were great for families, we found a few minor inconveniences that could have improved our overall experience. Overall, it's a great spot for anyone looking to unwind and enjoy some family time.

I had a wonderful week at the resort! The staff was incredibly warm and attentive, and the accommodations were top-notch. I loved being so close to the beach and having access to amenities like kayaks and beach chairs. The only small downside was that the unit I stayed in faced the parking lot. Overall, it was a relaxing and enjoyable vacation that I would highly recommend.

Sanibel Moorings is a beautiful resort with stunning grounds and great beach access. The staff is exceptionally attentive and goes above and beyond to ensure a pleasant stay. However, I had a disappointing experience with ongoing construction noise, which put a damper on our vacation. The rooms are clean and comfortable, though some furnishings, like the bed, could use an update. Overall, it's a great spot, but keep in mind potential noise issues during certain stays.

My stay at Sanibel Moorings was absolutely delightful! The beautiful grounds and impeccable service made for a memorable experience. The only drawbacks were the strong smell from carpet deodorizer and a few minor maintenance issues that were quickly addressed. Overall, I couldn’t have asked for a better vacation spot as both the location and ambiance were stunning.

We had a somewhat mixed experience at Sanibel Moorings. On one hand, the beach and views were wonderful, and our unit was clean and generally comfortable. However, we faced ongoing construction which disrupted our stay, and the service response to our concerns was disappointing. Knowing this, our relaxing getaway turned into something less than expected.
