We rented unit C204 which is a two bedroom end unit with a spectacular view of the Gulf of Mexico from the lanai and the dining room window. We had perfect weather in our first stay at Sanddollar. The unit is very comfortable, clean and well stocked with everything you would want for a beach vacation. The grounds are pristine,... More

We spent our 10 year anniversary trip here, renting a unit from a couple and it has been just perfect! Very small and quiet there are soooooooooo many seashells on the beach!!! There are biking trails everywhere. You could fly in, taxi over and ride your bike to everything!

Sanddollar condos C203 are on a great beach & our condo was updated, clean and had an amazing view of the gulf! Very spacious. The pool was empty all of the time it was great!

We have been vacationing to Sanibel Island for many years in different condos. This year we stayed at Sanddollar room C102 and we absolutely loved it. I have never seen a better equiped kitchen as this one. The utility had 2 cabinets full to the top with beach and bathroom towels. In every room the closets had extra pillows and... More

I have been coming to Sanibel since 1976. Have rented many different condos during that time. Sanddoar C102 was a huge disappointment. Very outdated, the AC did not work well. We had to purchase room floor fans due to no ceiling fans. Won't be staying here again.

Sandollar C102 owner response to negative review written July 11, 2011. Marita and I have owned and rented C102 and seven other condos on Sanibel for three years without ever having a negative review. All of our condos are well maintained high-end direct gulf front units. Unit C102 did have a problem with a newly installed air conditioning system that... More

This unit is a dump! We have stayed at many lovely condos on Sanibel, but Sanddollar C-304 was the very worst! I don't think this unit had been cleaned in months. I dropped my ring on the floor in the master bedroom and discovered there were dead spiders and spider webs under the master bed. The comforter and blanket in... More

Royal Shell recently purchased Waterstone Resorts of which Sandollar C304 was a client. At the time of the Waterstone purchase, the owner of Sandollar C304 moved his unit to another rental company and Royal Shell did and does not manage Sandollar C304. More

My husband and I just returned from a two week stay in C-201 at Sanddollar. We have stayed in this complex many times before and this was by far the nicest, most well-equipped unit to date. The complex is absolutely beautiful... immaculate, great pool, gas grills, beautifully landscaped and centrally located on Middle Gulf Drive. The beach in front of... More

The Sanddollar is a beautifully maintained, clean, quiet complex conveniently located around the midpoint of Sanibel Island. We have stayed in Sanddollar C201 for 2 years in a row and have just booked our 3rd trip. The unit is always clean and very well appointed. We always appreciate the closet full of beach chairs, umbrellas, sand toys and other items... More

Great shelling beach in front of Sanibel Sanddollar C201, especially in January 2009! C201 was clean, appointed nicely and many inconspicuous wheelchair features. In-laws may soon be needing/appreciating those handicap features... Did not avail ourselves of the 3 tennis courts, but the pool was relaxing. Internet access fine from C201 condo; did not try access from the pool area. Favorite... More

We just spent a week at the Sanddollar condos, first week of June 2008. We rented unit A203 from the owners, very nice except the dish washer needs to be replaced badly. View from balcony to beach great. They also own B204, a 2-bedroom unit. The pool is small as stated in a previous review but was completely sufficient for... More
