This would be our 3rd year at Sea Shells of Sanibel. We stayed in Unit 2 the last 2 years and decided against that for the reasons in my last review of this complex. We made a relatively last-minute reservation (in August) for Unit #1 this time with extended family. Upon our arrival, we discovered the pool was closed 'until... more

Stayed in unit #44. The carpet, bedding and silverware were dirty. Drawers in kitchen were broken. Several of the window shades didn't work properly. The dishwasher leaked. The DVD player didn't work. more

This was our first time staying at Sea Shells. We have stayed at other condos throughout our 15 years of coming to Sanibel. Sea Shells Unit 14, by far, gave us the most for our money. It was clean, spacious and filled with everything we needed to make our time at Sanibel comfortable and enjoyable. We ate in for a... more

The unit(5) we stayed in was one of the prettiest condo's we've ever stayed in. The place had to have been professionally decorated. For the price, this unit was a steal. The complex is very laid back, very florida at a very reasonable price. They have bike rentals which added to our relaxing time. However, the island restaurants were jammed.... more

Several family members rented units at Seashells for spring break this year. Unit #10 was a first floor unit and was adorably decorated in a beachy, "shabby chic" style...very, very nice and with flat screen TV's in each BR. I would love to have the owner come help me decorate my own home! Also, had an updated kitchen and was... more

My husband & I and our grown daughter stayed here for one week in March 2008. The condo complex is well-maintained. Our unit (#34) was very clean and appeared to be freshly painted. The kitchen was well-equipped and refrigerator had an ice maker. All linens were provided. The condo was exactly as pictured on the website. We enjoyed watching the... more

We stayed at Sea Shells in unit 8 (building 2) for 4 nights. The condo complex is located in a quite area. The pool was very well mantained and clean. They also have two grills near the pool along with shuffle board and a small pond. The condo was a little further from the ocean than I had expected. You... more

We just returned from our 7 day stay at Sea Shells. Overall it was terrific, just a few minor complaints. We stayed in unit 18 which was ok. It desperately needs an update. The beds were old and saggy, the bathrooms and kitchen needed a thorough scrubbing, which I did and had to buy my own cleaning supplies because the... more

Stayed on Sanibel Island June 17-24, 2006. We stayed at Seashells of Sanibel. Very nice place, but it was not on the ocean. It was about a 4-5 minute walk to the beach. While on Sanibel, we dined at Cheeburger Cheeburger. The kids loved it. Basically it is burgers and fries with a few other selections, but the milkshakes are... more
