Sanibel Harbour Resort Apartments

Stayed in 111. Condo was nice and really no issue with this unit. Location. Ok location if you have a car and plan on driving to different beaches. Spent time at Sanibal Litehouse Beach and Captiva was amazing. Problem is leaving the island with tons of stand still traffic. Can walk to Bimini Bait shop for dinner which had good food. 30 minutes really though to get somewhere. Beach - Eh, can swim but not worth spending a day there. Pool - only one pool and it was shut down for two days by the county. Not sure what issues were but pool wasn’t up to code. Very disappointing when only there for a few days. Also they kick anyone out after dusk. Better use the hot tub while it’s 85 out. Grounds - ok. Lot of broke things. Example, can rinse feet off when leaving the “beach” because rinse station didn’t work. Door to unit was a bit of a pain. Bungee chord to help shut pool door etc. Again not terrible but it’s overpriced for what it has to offer. I’d recommend looking around and booking elsewhere. Wouldn’t come back. Read less

The staff here is responsive and helpful before and during the trip. We rented condo 131, touted as the only 3-bedroom in the building. Immediately we noticed that the third bedroom had two doors and was noticeably warmer than the other rooms. That's because it was carved out of unit 132 next door. If not being able to control your HVAC for that room will be a deal-breaker, be forewarned. A very good standing fan is supplied, but that's insufficient if you close the bedroom door. The resort staff did enter until 132 and lower the AC, but that room was always stuffy. It would be great, however, if all the bedrooms were supplied with fans because the HVAC cuts on and off very loudly all night long, waking us up. And so do the leaf blowers and lawn maintenance people next door at the Marriott. They fire up at 7 am. A fan would help drown out that noise. That said, we had a great time here. The owner bought a new sofa that has two reclining chairs. We used that every night that we binged Netflix. But speaking of Netflix, this unit does not have a smart TV. I inquired about that ahead of time and brought my Apple TV with me, so problem solved. The unit has a great view of the pool, harbor, and sunset every night. And unless people were moving furniture overhead or the leaf blowers were going, it was a quiet unit. You couldn't hear much above you. The master bedroom has an exceptionally comfortable mattress. And plenty of hangars, which we appreciated. We used the laundry machines and dishwasher daily and they worked great. If you plan to hang at the pool and not get burned, you'll need to do that in the morning. By noon, shade at the pool is hard to find. The condo association only supplies three umbrellas for the pool for some reason. And the beach is pretty much non-existent. There is a small strip of sand with some beach loungers on it, but the beach is as wide as the loungers and that's it. However, being able to go next door to the Marriott for meals was great. Truly enjoyed the shrimp tacos there overlooking the pool and harbor. The Bimini Bait Shack is also nearby and has decent hamburgers and an old school Florida vibe. We found that this condo was an ideally situated location for visits to Sanibel and Captiva, Fort Myers, and even Naples wasn't too far away. We recommend the ResortPass app for day passes to other resorts, too. Overall, this was a good value and we enjoyed our stay here. The owner and the management were both very responsive. I hope these tips will help future visitors plan their trips well, too. Read less

I had reserved this hotel with High expectations. Sadly my daughter needed to be hospitalized shortly before the trip. The hotel would not agree to a full refund. Kept one nights stay as punishment for the cancellation. I will never book here again or give them my business. Nor would I recommend them to anyone. In the middle of a global pandemic even they had no empathy for a family in crisis. I wish I could give no stars. Read less

We came here between Christmas and New Years with a family of four, we were in room 913 (Harbor Tower) and it was beautiful - uber clean, well maintained, updated kitchen and bathrooms, quiet, gorgeous views of the Harbor off of the Lanai. Small beach and small pool but both were fine for our needs. The location here is close and convenient to everything in the area - quick to get to downtown Ft. Myers, Sanibel, etc... it was very cute and we'd definitely recommend it. Read less
