We stayed at blind pass from Sept29-Oct7. The condo was clean, up to date and had everything you could ask for. We packed some beach towels, chairs and kitchen items that we never used. The beach was wonderful for shelling. The amount of shells you can pick up is just amazing. However, with that said the beach is not good for swimming, There were very strong waves, not to mention the high E Coli levels. When the kids got hot from shelling my husband and I would pack them up and take them to the pool. Just FYI if you do have small children, ours are 2 and 4, you may want to rent a cart to bring your supplies to the beach. It is a beautiful walk they will get to see several birds and insects but their little legs will get tired. Speaking of insects make sure you bring bug spray, the mosquitoes were bad. We had a wonderful time and plan to return hopefully next year. I think we may try the condos closer to the lighthouse since the beach is a little calmer.

Blind Pass Condos are the best thing on Sanibel Island! We were in unit A205 recently
and enjoyed every minute of our stay. The apartment is large and airy-2 bedrooms and 2
baths and a large open living/dining/kitchen space that opens onto a screened porch.
Everything seems new and immaculate. The décor says VACATION here with touches such as a
border of vintage post cards and the singing 'Take Me to the River' fish plaque painted
to match the bathroom décor. We loved hanging out at the little wooden bridge connection
to the beach. It spans a lagoon visited by many rare birds-you think you're in a Disney
animal park. And we did develop The Sanibel Stoop from seashelling on the beach. Nice
pool, too. The staff in the office were friendly and helpful re loaning us tennis
raquets and suggesting restaurants. We'll return.

Just returned from a trip to Florida, the second week of which we stayed in Condo F210 at Blind Pass. We had a fantastic time. The condo was very well appointed, great appliances in the 'bistro' style kitchen which made 'cooking in' a pleasure. The beds were oversized and superbly comfortable, as was the modular corner sofa, which all 4 of us could lounge on in the evenings. TV in lounge and both bedrooms. Perfect for a family of 4 (children 7 and 10).

We had read reviews on Trip Advisor before booking, the short walk to the beach, was in our view very short ,and lovely, as it takes you over the bayou. It also meant the the beach was virtually deserted, especially in the mornings when we went looking for shells. We were able to see photos of the condo before we booked, which saved us the problem experienced by one contributor renting a condo which was poorly furnished.

Yes, you do have to drive to get to most places, but it means that it's peaceful. The pool was lovely, we had it to ourselves a lot of the time (must say tho' if it's one on the biggest on the island I wouldn't like to see the smallest! - but fine for us). We kayaked on the bayou (free to renter), cycled in Ding Darling reserve, took a dolphin cruise from Captiva. Loved the fact that no 'chain' stores/restaurants/etc apparent.

Can't wait to return. Recommended for peace and relaxation.

Long over due but wanted to give a review. We spent 2 weeks last June at this complex, and the then one week prior to that the 1st week of April 2005. The grounds are beautiful, and I have to say that Bowman's Beach is my all time favorite beach, lots of space, very uncrowded,very clean, and shells everywhere. The grounds at this complex are impeccable, and the landscaping gorgeous. We stayed both times in the same unit G-105, which is their largest unit, and one of closest to the beach. It is very nicely furnished and decorated, and BIG!!!!!!!!! It is actually 2 units in one with a very large screened porch. It's a little bit more than the other 3 bedrooms but well worth the small extra amount for the space. The pool here is large and nice. It is a little bit of a "hike" back and forth to the beach, but a beautiful one at that. We always enjoyed and looked forward to seeing the tropical birds along the path, which included a foot bridge over a lagoon. Although we love it and didn't mind the walk it would be too much for my 75 year old mother who will be vacationing with us this summer, so we chose to stay in Captiva Village this time instead of Blind Pass Condos. I would recommend anyone with babies or small children to rent a all terrain stroller. After our first day last we did so. The walk to the beach was a little too much for our 3 year old granddaughter. It was a very nominal charge to rent a stroller and it was delivered and picked up upon our departure. Would we return and stay here again? You bet!!!
