Recently updated Condo overlooking a Beach Sanctuary
About this condo rental
We are thrilled to be back online after Hurricane Ian on September 28, 2022, and to welcome you back to our beach sanctuary! The island remains under construction and re-building, and restaurants and the grocery store are a short drive away. During our downtime, we took the opportunity to make some updates to our condo, including all new cabinets, stone countertops, and stainless-steel appliances in the kitchen. Our balcony overlooks the Gulf’s sunsets and the island’s bird and turtle sanctuary. Just steps from our building are seven miles of pristine beach for you to discover. Enjoy time sitting in the sand with a book or a walk, collecting a variety of shells along the way. Our favorite activity in the area is paddle boarding in and around Lovers Key State Park, just a mile south of the condo. We are happy to provide linens, kitchenware, beach towels, beach umbrella and cooler, as well as soaps and laundry essentials. In the event you want to stay inside, there are books, games and a 50” smart TV with cable, Netflix and Amazon Prime (for those with accounts). High-speed Wi-Fi is available for you to use during your stay. You will also have access to the onsite outdoor pool, tennis court, and brand-new pickle ball courts. We take extra steps to assure cleanliness and your safety while you are here and disinfect the condo’s furnishings, kitchenware, and beach paraphernalia. All linens are changed with each guest, even unused ones in the closets, (sheets, towels, beach towels, and bedding including mattress pad and duvet). **In-season rentals (December through April) require a Saturday-to-Saturday stay. We are certain you will enjoy Beach Sanctuary condo and the area as much as we do. See you on the beach!

Room was perfect for two people. Not really a separate bedroom more of a separate large area for the bed and night stands and adjoining large bathroom. But not having a separate walled off room creates a wide open spacious feeling with lots of magnificent water views from wherever you were in the unit. Gina was great at responding to questions and checked in with us several times to make sure we were fine and didn’t need anything. Condo was the most well stocked we’ve ever stayed in using VRBO. The complex was still undergoing renovations after hurricane Ian, as was the area, but we didn’t mind that except for no pool or hot tub. It was nice to have the crowds be less because of things not being open. Gina had warned us about the pool being closed before we went so it wasn’t a surprise. Looking forward to returning some time when everything is back in full swing. Gina gave us a good list of recommended restaurants, and the ones we visited did not disappoint. But we were also happy to eat a lot of meals in the condo using the well stocked and recently renovated kitchen. The balcony was our favorite place to hang out and we saw dolphins (binoculars provided!!) and a number of gorgeous sunsets. In the late evenings we enjoyed the smart TV which we could use to log into all of our favorite streaming services. All in all the most relaxing two weeks we have had in a long time!!

Perfect beach getaway
We were very happy with Eric and Gina’s condo. Our flight was delayed and we didn’t get in until very late at night. We were worried about the check in process being nighttime but it couldn’t have been easier. When we opened the door to the condo it was perfect. It smelled clean and WAS clean. I can tell you we have rented through VRBO more times than I can count. Sometimes you wonder how people received their high rating. That’s not the case here. It is everything the listing and reviews say it is. When the sun came up the next morning we were so happy with the ocean view! The condo is on a quiet section of the street and away from all the busyness down the road but close enough to get to the activities if you wish. The walk to the beach was very short and easy. It was perfect. Thank you very much for allowing us to rent your beautiful condo!

Pittsburgh, PA - May 2022
Loved the location and quietness of the condo and private beach. The owners, Gina & Eric, were very easy to get in touch with throughout the reservation and stay/departure, which was very much appreciated. The condo was just enough room for my husband and me. The only negative comments of the condo was that the shower/tub drained very slow and a couple of items needed to be
cleaned a little better. The pool was closed one day only for some reason and one of the elevators was out of order-again, one day only. Those things happen. All-in-all, we enjoyed the convenience and neatness of the condo and facilities.

Condo has breathtaking views just as listed. Gina responded right away when we had any questions and check in and out was very easy. The grounds are kept up beautifully. Pool was wonderful. My husband and I had a great time. Only thing I would mention is Gina said they are replacing mattress which we agree needs done and couch was not extremely comfortable either. While these two things could have been better, they still didn’t take away from the views, walking right out to the beach and pool. Very friendly atmosphere and place.

This condo was perfection from the moment we got there! The location is away from the hustle and bustle of spring breakers and the view was even better than the pictures. We loved our morning coffee on the bistro style table and chairs on the balcony and the sunsets were spectacular! We were pleased with the cleanliness and working with Gina was effortless. This was a perfect 10 for us and we definitely plan to return to this lovely condo and fun beach area! The owners have a gem here and it was truly a relaxing vacation in the best spot on Fort Meyers Beach!

The condo was everything that was advertised as and as I expected. I arrived in the area before the 400pm check in and had gotten a message from the owners that the unit was ready. Very clean and comfortable and well supplied. The owners also reached out to me to see if I needed anything during my stay. Everything as I stated was as I expected and as was advertised.

Wonderful week at the beach
The condo was clean and looked just like it did in the pictures. The view from the balcony is beautiful especially at sunset. There’s a short, easy walk to the beach on a paved walkway. We loved the plaza across the street. We tried several restaurants and did some shopping. All in all, we thoroughly enjoyed our week and would go back in a second.

Beautiful view!
We really enjoyed our stay at this property! The building was easy to get in and out, and no keys to mess with for the condo!! The view is beautiful. The condo is very clean! They have everything you could possibly need!! Our only complaint would be the mattress on the bed, it is very soft and you sink into the bed. Otherwise it is a great place!!! The porch furniture is great also!!! Wonderful trip!!

The unit is on the 10th floor with spectacular views of the Gulf of Mexico. We saw dolphins, manatees, egrets and the most amazing sunsets. This is the quieter of the beach close to Wyndham Garden for live music. Santo I plaza is across street with several options for fine dining and casual. The unit was exceptionally clean and the most comfortable bed we have had Great Vacation

Beautiful location on Gulf Coast
The condo was perfect for two people in a great location at the south end of Fort Myers Beach away from the crowds at the north end of the island during peak season. Condo was clean and the hosts gave us helpful information about the area. If you are willing to pay a little more for fantastic views of the beach and be close to the water then I highly recommend this rental for your vacation.

Best of Everything!
Where to start? This property & location was wonderful. Gina has to be the best host we have ever had, and we travel & use VRBO alot! Several welcome gifts were left for us. Thank you. So thoughtful and so nice to start the vacation with. This location is right on a very very nice strip of beach, where you can walk for miles & miles. We walked over 4.25 in one direction, so over 8.5 miles one day. Lots of very nice shells to find. Several very very nice resturants and shops right across the street. CVS as well. Very nice Publix just about 2 miles down the same road, so very east access. The condo had just about everything you could think of that you might need. From a cooler, beach chairs, umbrella....so well equipped! Awesome view from the condo. The king bed was one of the most comfortable we have ever slept on. Couch was very comfortable as well! Decor was very tasteful! We loved it all. The complex is very safe. Code for elevator area, gate & door. We felt very safe & secure the entire visit. This was also probably the cleanest rental we have ever seen. Again...we have stayed in plenty. We love the condo, location, host, can't wait to return. You can't go wrong here!

A Piece of Paradise
On this our 15th anniversary, our plans were to cruise, as we typically do every February, to celebrate. That being impossible this year, I searched extensively online last Fall for a warm weather, relaxing beach get-away. My hopes were high, but from past experience, my expectations were average at best. How blessed we were to have found Beach Sanctuary Condo - a bright, cozy, exceptionally clean, well cared for beach front retreat! We knew little about Ft. Myers Beach, but quickly became familiar and comfortable with the island. Situated on the far less trafficked south end of the island, Sanctuary Beach Condo is ideally located for viewing a variety of birds, from the beach or right from the balcony. We especially enjoyed the comical antics of the pelicans. I’ll admit I was skeptical of the condo description saying dolphins could be seen just off the shore from its balcony, but wow - we saw them daily, usually morning and late afternoon. We found amazing food within a walkable distance from the condo, and fabulous seafood just a short drive away. Three mornings we visited Lovers Key State Park (just down the road), hiking its nature trails and enjoying its beach. Bought ‘triple tail’ filets at Doug’s Seafood Market, & had a delectable dinner while enjoyable the unbeatable view from our condo. We found the beach not at all crowded as we took several walks, collecting shells along the way. We loved shopping the Farmers Market across the street (Tuesdays, Thursdays) in Santini Marina Plaza, as well as its shops and restaurants; we found everyone to be cordial and welcoming. Finally. the sunsets every day were nothing short of stunning - among the few most spectacular we’ve experienced anywhere! Five afternoons we watched from our balcony; two afternoons we watched from the beach. I intend to post some photos on this condo’s Facebook page. But I course, our very special, simply perfect vacay could not have happened, without responsible, attentive, detailed, accessible, caring condo owners Gina & Eric! Excellent communication before, during, & after our stay. The condo is beautiful, clean (which is so important) & exactly as promised; We so appreciated the special anniversary gift bag & card when we arrived. The provision of beach towels, chairs & umbrella is awesome! The condo furniture, inside & out, was attractive and comfortable. Decor was perfect! Thanks Gina & Eric for everything! Can’t wait to return! ❤

Top notch condo!
We loved our stay here! Everything was top quality, including towels (plenty), beach chairs (2), beach umbrella, bed, furniture, dishware. Very clean! Generous supply of hand soap, body wash, dish soap and dishwasher pods. Owners checked a few times to make sure all was well. Plus gave a very thoughtful and generous hostess gift. We loved walking to Santini Plaza for meals and farmers market. And the view was outstanding. Couldn't have asked for a better stay!

Super clean and great sunsets!
My husband and I just spent a week at this property. It was super clean! Lots of drawers and baskets for our items. Great view of the sunset from the balcony. Easy parking and good location. Gina does a great job staying in contact and sending check in information in a timely manner and even left a welcome gift bag and card! Would recommend this condo!

Cozy beach paradise
This 1 bedroom condo was the perfect escape for our winter getaway! The deck provided a spectacular sunset view - we enjoyed the table and chairs there for our evening cocktails as well as morning coffee. The location was steps from the beach and pool, within walking distance of restaurants and shops, and had all the conveniences of home in the kitchen. It was so helpful to have 2 beach chairs and cooler that we used daily. The owners responded to our questions promptly and were very helpful making our stay comfortable. We hope to return again next year!

Perfect Place in Paradise!
This is one heck of a steal. The views are everything. Located right on the beach with views of both the gulf and the backwaters. The beach is technically public but you are located south enough that it's like your own Private Beach! The unit is clean, stocked with everything you need, nice pool and superbly kept grounds. The check in and check-out process was super easy. I will definitely rent this place again. Thanks for the great stay!

Beach Sanctuary
The Beach Sanctuary Condo is all that the name implies. The condo is decorated in beautiful soothing tones and has a very uncluttered feel. It was also fully equipped with everything that we needed to enjoy our stay.
The condo has an amazing view of the ocean and was situated in such a way that it had great breezes off the ocean. The best part though, were the views at sunset. It was a great way to end each day.
The condo owners were wonderful to deal with. They responded quickly to every email or text and were available for questions and were happy to offer suggestions and advice.
We had an amazing vacation and will definitely rent the Beach Sanctuary again in the future!
