Island Beach Club damaged by Hurricane Ian, Unavailable for bookings now
About this condo rental
Located in Sanibel Island, this charming condo for $721 per night is a great choice for your next vacation. OUTSTANDING VIEWS If you're looking for unimpeded, sweeping beach views with ultimate privacy, Island Beach Club P6D is for you. You just can't get more 'beach front' and still be inside. Our top floor, west-end corner unit is built closer to the beach than neighboring buildings, so views are superb. ****Special Design Features enhance the view**** Most condo complexes with water frontage have long rectangular floor plans with the narrow side facing the prime view. This allows the developer maximum number of prime view units but creates a boxcar-like feel. Island Beach Club units are nearly square with floor-to-ceiling window-walls. In "D" Building, those window walls provide a breathtaking view of the water. ****Unique features of P6D*** Because it's located on the top floor, there is maximum privacy and quiet. A "reversed floor plan," unique to only 2 other units at Island Beach Club provides especially welcome privacy and quiet. No one walks by your front door unless they are coming to visit you. From November through February, you can see the sun rise and set from the lanai. The effect is magic and will stay with you long after your vacation is over. Take a look at our VIDEO to get an even better feel for this special place. OUR CORONAVIRUS CLEANING PROCEDURES: We are following the most current CDC cleaning and sanitizing protocols. This includes disinfection with special emphasis on high-touch areas, such as bathrooms, kitchen surfaces, door handles, tables etc. using the same disinfectants as hospitals and health care facilities. Fransi, our great cleaning team owner. reports: “We are following all CDC guidelines for cleaning and disinfecting, while taking care to protect guests and ourselves. We wear masks, shoe covers and gloves that we dispose of after every clean. We also disinfect all our equipment before and after each clean. “For disinfecting we use an EPA approved product – the same as used in hospitals and other healthcare facilities. It can be used in all surfaces and requires a dwell time of 10 minutes, before it can be wiped off. It is expensive and more time consuming which will require an extra cleaning fee. “To complete our cleaning protocol and most importantly for the peace of mind of owners and guests, I'm using a ULV fogger machine with the same product used in hospitals, restaurants and public places, It is safe for humans, pets and approved by the CDC and Florida Health Department. This equipment even reaches the A/C conduits to ensure any possible remnants of the coronavirus will be killed.” The CDC is asking owners and property managers to provide guests with hand sanitizer, home disinfectant and hand soap which we are pleased to do. Lastly, we installed a new air conditioner in Feb 2021, which includes a Reme-Halo Air Purification System designed to kill viruses, mold, bacteria, microbes and odors in the unit. It’s the same technology specified in Norovirus/MRSA (Staph) protection plans for many hospitals, schools, hotels and restaurants. This is in addition to our cleaning team’s continued use of an anti-viral fogging machine prior to each cleaning. QUALITY FURNISHINGS Our 2 bedroom, 2 bath, top floor, west-end corner unit is very well equipped: High speed internet, floor to ceiling windows (with electric shades) that bring the views into your living room, full-size washer & dryer, granite counters in a gourmet kitchen, excellent quality knives and an electric knife sharpener to keep them sharp. There is filtered water on the refrigerator door and at the kitchen sink so you don't need to bring bottled water. Also a blender and a coffee grinder to grind your beans. If the views don't keep you occupied, you'll find board games and puzzles plus 3 substantial flat screen TV's, two of which are "smart" with DVRs and the other with a DVD player. We subscribe to a high-end Comcast cable TV package with a huge channel selection. The living room has a stereo with cables to connect to your cellphone or portable player. There is also a CD player with about 40 CDs in our library. Master bedroom has a king bed. Two twin beds in the guest bedroom. We intentionally do not have a pull-out bed in the living room, so maximum occupancy is four. NICE "OFFICE" Need some office time--with a gorgeous Gulf-view? There's a convenient desk in the master bedroom with slide-out shelves at keyboard-height for your laptop, power outlets and USB ports. A desktop phone has speakerphone and auto redial. Our high speed dedicated WiFi provides excellent internet access. There's even a wireless printer with copy/scan/fax capability. BEACH EQUIPMENT Our storage closet in the parking garage has beach chairs, loungers, umbrella, floats and assorted beach toys. We provide beach towels in our linen closet. There is a convenient elevator. EXCEPTIONAL PRIVACY Unlike most units at Island Beach Club, this unit has a reversed floor plan -- no neighboring units can see into the living room or lanai. Also, no one passes your front door unless they are coming to see you. Electric shades in the living room and master bedroom windows are easy to operate to keep lights off the beach at night or in the unlikely event you want even more privacy. ABOUT PRICE We have found--from years of renting vacation properties--that price-concern is highest before you see what you've rented. Afterwards, you either spend time enjoying the property or regretting its shortcomings that produced the lower price. Our rates reflect the quality of Island Beach Club P6D. You can find slightly (and considerably) lower prices but they come with large reductions in quality: of view, location, furnishings, sound of the waves and attention to maintenance. If you find an open week and book with us, we believe you'll be delighted with the perks of a top floor, west-end unit, with its unequaled privacy. The decision is best made by comparing the actual view, furnishings and location of the units you're considering. Beware of properties that lead off with uninspiring pictures. Our view is what you're probably wishing for and we show it proudly. Be sure to click on our video if you haven't already. WE PAY ATTENTION We don't fully agree to rent until we have personally spoken to prospective guests to assure we are both a good fit. VRBO makes this difficult by withholding traveler phone numbers from owners. We will work with you to make contact if we haven't spoken prior to you requesting a booking. After you book and pay your deposit, your phone number becomes visible. When you arrive, we try to check in by phone to assure everything is just right. Our Sanibel-based manager is available 24/7 to handle any issues. And we promise quick action if there's anything we can do for you. IDEAL LOCATION Island Beach Club is ideally situated on prestigious West Gulf Drive, about 1 mile from Bailey's Grocery Store, many good restaurants, cinema and shopping -- yet avoiding the heaviest traffic. It is also ideally situated on the beach -- well removed from the public access points. AMENITIES Dedicated WiFi just for this unit provides high speed Internet access. The beach is just steps away. We provide beach towels, chairs, umbrella and loungers. There is a convenient elevator, covered parking, a large, heated pool and a well furnished, updated kitchen. Three large, flat screen, very smart TVs (OLED/QLED) serve living room and both bedrooms. A DVR serves the living room and master bedroom. * 7 night minimum stay* CAUTIONS: Obviously, we love our magic place and hope you will too! Assuring you find the vacation you want is very important to us. We make a concerted effort to assure our condo is a good match you. We don't want to disappoint anyone. Here are what we consider our biggest drawbacks: 1. SMALL UNIT This condo is 1,195 sq ft -- large enough to accommodate no more than 4 occupants, in our opinion. Many other Island Beach Club units permit 6 occupants -- we do not. 2. TINY MASTER BATHROOM Island Beach Club was built in 1976 and bathroom standards have evolved markedly since then. There is a single sink and much less room than typically offered today. 3. NOT A PARTY PLACE Neither Sanibel, nor our unit are appropriate or satisfying for spring-break-type party people. The town has few bars and nightlife generally ends by 9-10pm. If you're looking for more action, you would be happier with Ft. Myers Beach. Sanibel is for nature lovers, readers and sea shell collectors, for bicycle riding on protected bike paths, for birding enthusiasts, sun lovers, kayakers/canoeists, beach walkers and those who appreciate low-rise vs high-rise buildings. 4. SUMMER NO-SEE-UMS These tiny, biting bugs occur more frequently in summer months and can chase you off the beach late in the day. Not much of a problem during the day, they can even intrude through the screens on the lanai at dusk. They do not come inside the unit in our experience -- probably because the slider doors are mostly closed in summer for air conditioning. Our laundry room usually has lots of bug sprays left behind by departing guests. 5. RED TIDE An occurrence of red tide in July 2018 created a significant fish-kill. Sanibel, to its great credit, took strong clean-up action and the beach is being kept very clean. But the red tide algae are sometimes present in our waters. Fran and I still enjoy our magic condo as much as ever--the views are still magnificent--but you should check the red tide status independently to make an informed decision. We are happy to provide information sources. 6. NO KID-SIZE SINKS & NO BATHTUB Both bathrooms have been remodeled with adult-height sinks and shower stalls. There is no bathtub. 7. NO WINTER AVAILABILITY This magic place is our primary residence approximately Oct 31-May 1 each year. It is only available for rent from May-Oct. We have no plans to change this lifestyle.

Amazing views from this property- great place! We’d stay here again in a heartbeat!!

This condo has views that grab you as soon as you walk into the door, which attracted us years ago for our first stay and it still has that same appeal years laters. The living room with its comfy furniture and views you can just get lost in for hours no matter what the weather is outside is where we are at, if not on the beach. The beach is steps away with an nice outside shower area. The complex is not overly crowded and is well kept with a nice pool, grill area and shuffle board court. It’s centrally located to restaurants, grocery, shopping & the other beaches. This top floor penthouse condo itself is roomy, large walk in showers, large TVs in bedrooms, lots of storage & closet space, nice size laundry room, & a spacious screened in patio. The owners, Barry & Fran are great to work with if any concern arises and encourages your feedback to help improve on the condo and your stay. They are always improving on some area of the condo. This year is a new kitchen remodel , Can’t wait to come back next year and see it! Adding keyless entry to the condo in the future could be a plus as well.

This lovely condo was just as we remembered…..breathtaking. We loved watching the dolphins while sitting on the couch or on beach with our feet in the waves. Shelling was amazing too this year as was the pool!
We feel blessed every time we come back here!

Always such a pleasure to stay at P6D. Beautiful Sanibel location where we can count on Barry and Fran to make our favorite condo the best place, every time! They keep it well stocked and very well maintained. We started coming here when our almost 16 year old was a toddler, and wouldn’t consider any other condo. It feels like home- not just a rental. Thanks again! ☀️🏝🌺

The most beautiful, peaceful and relaxing place to vacation.
Our family just wrapped up a fifth stay at Barry and Fran's property. We've already booked and are looking forward to our sixth visit next year. The condo is beautiful, the ocean view is spectacular and they are wonderful hosts. It is such a peaceful and relaxing destination with only the sound of the ocean waves lapping at the shell covered shore. The condo is always clean and stocked with everything you could need, from cooking utensils to beach umbrellas and chairs. Barry and Fran take great pride in the condo and providing their guests a perfect vacation experience. Thank you for sharing your beach paradise with our family!

Sanibel Paradise
This is our 4th Stay at this property. As usual everything was excellent – the tremendous view, the great electronics (TVs, audio, internet), the well-supplied kitchen, and even the Tommy Bahama chairs and umbrella provided for the beach. Barry the owner is always available to assist whenever something comes up. On this trip there was a tropical storm approaching on our last day and Barry was kind enough to call and give us a heads-up on the forecast and what it might mean for Sanibel. A Great Place to Stay. Looking forward to next year!

Our trip was great! The ocean view from the condo was just beautiful. Being right on the beach was very convenient. We saw so many types of wildlife right on the Island Beach Club property. Barry and Fran are the perfect hosts with wonderful communication.

What a great week we had in this beautiful condo!! Only wish we could have stayed longer! So close to the beach you could almost reach out and touch it! The Wilson's were SO nice to deal with and the condo was stocked with everything we needed. Looking forward to a return visit soon...unfortunately not soon enough!! Thanks for your hospitality!!

Stunning Views & Awesome Condo!
A few words come to mind in reviewing this condo/property: gorgeous, peaceful, immaculate, stunning views, paradise! There are absolutely NO disappointments with P6D! The owner/manager is wonderful in communicating quickly, thoroughly & kindly. We hope to come back any time we are able & always look forward to the next stay - on the last day - of this stay😀

A great view with all the amenities!
We have continued to stay here for several years now for so many reasons.
Island Beach Club welcomes you at the drive into this well kept complex with beautiful pavers and lush landscaping, and a large pool.
It is centrally located near the shopping and restaurants.
Condo P6D offers an assigned covered parking space with a storage room full of every beach item one could need. A nearby Elevator for easy access to unload to this top floor condo. Then you open the door to see the most amazing view which draws you right into the living area. The inside of this condo has high quality furniture, comfortable beds, a kitchen with most anything one would need to cook a meal, large closets, full size washer and dryer, and large TVs in bedrooms as well as the living area. Nice size screen in lanai with lots of seating. And the beach is just steps away with a outdoor rinsing station to rinse off all the sand.
Barry & Fran are exceptional hosts who really care about your experience in their condo. They are prompt to response to any issues and are always happy to answer any questions you might have.
Only improvement I could think of would be adding keyless entry to the condo. No keys to keep up with at the beach would be a great bonus.

We have stayed in all three units in the "D" unit, 360D, 260D, and here in P6D, and P6D is hands down the best of the3 three. The kitchen is well stoked with EVERYTHING one would possibly need...and all appliances and utensils are well known brand names. I have been in the restaurant business my entire adult life and have never seen sharper knives--that is a big deal to me☺
The entertainment center has everything one could ask for; cable TV, DVR recorder for TV as well as tapes for movies, Netflix, HULU etc.
