Island Beach Club #P1A

Great experience all around at this condo. Very nice complex, well maintained and uncrowded during our visit. Covered parking and storage room for bikes and beach gear are awesome features, very much appreciated. Express check-in was a breeze. Definitely would return! - Steven S., Jacksonville, FL

The vacation rental experience was very good. The location was great, very close to the beach, and pool, and very private. The apartment was very clean and comfortable, but a little dated. I would return for another vacation. - Anonymous, Chapel Hill, NC

We love this place, and stay every year. It's a friendly mix of residents and folks on vacation. Dog-friendly. Easy walk to the beach, which is a beautiful and pretty quiet stretch that seems almost private to the Island Beach Club. Easy access to Bailey's by car, bike, or even on foot on a nice day. Select Vacation Properties are friendly and efficient and better than other agencies we've used in the personal touches. The air conditioning can be a bit loud, but with a small amount of planning you can cool the place before TV watching, then turn it up and have no problems. Higher off the ground, we've never had any problems on the screened deck with no-see-ums or the like. - Anonymous, Austin, TX

My family stayed at Island Beach Club #P1A the first full week of April. Although the room did not have a view of the water, it worked out well for our family. The overall complex property was clean and well taken care of. it was very quiet. The 2 outside gas grills are newer and large - I never had to wait to use one. The unit itself was very spacious. The master bedroom with the walk in closet area could easily have been 2 bedrooms. The living room area and screened in patio area was also very spacious. It was an easy 5 minute walk to the beach. The unit was on the top floor at the end of the building on the opposite of the elevator which was inconvenient for unloading and loading our stuff for the week, but it was ideal for our dog as we had virtually no traffic going past our room. The only 2 issues we had were the key that was left for us to unlock the storage area downstairs by our parking space did not fit the lock. The rental company was quick to get us a key the next day but there weren't many items we could use in there. One beach chair and one beach float were usable. We had brought all the items we needed anyway. The other minor issue was we had hoped to get in before 4 but the cleaning service wasn't quite done by 4. The unit says it is fogged after each use, but we were there at noon before the cleaning service had arrived so I am not sure how that could have been done. Those 2 items were minor. We had a great stay and Nadia at Select Vacation Properties was terrific to work with. We would definitely stay at this unit again. - Anonymous, Warsaw, IN

We enjoyed the unit. It was clean and well-stocked. Like many rentals, it could use a little "tender loving care", like new outlets, some minor updates (countertops in kitchen), etc. Overall a good unit, great location, excellent access to beach. Be warned - the air conditioning is LOUD LOUD LOUD. Not sure there is much that can be done about it. - Anonymous, Mayfield, OH

Nice place for the price farthest from the beach in this complex. We did not mind the walk. Top floor unit but the elevator was at the opposite end of the building. Exercise for us but would be difficult for the elderly. Ice maker did not work. Selection of glassware was spotty. One beach chair was broken. Overall unit was outdated which did not bother us but may for others. - Christopher B., Louisville, KY

There are fewer places that take dogs on Sanibel, so to feel like you aren’t just settling is wonderful. The place is comfortable, and we like the corner unit patio shaded by trees adding more privacy. Comfortable and mostly quiet unit (the air conditioner is a bit loud if you are in the living room, but for us that was minor). A good kitchen for vacation needs. Beach chairs and umbrellas provided. Avery short and pleasant walk to the gorgeous beach, which is a quiet spot between the two larger resorts on either side. The place was built in the 70s and occasionally feels like it, but we’ve already booked the unit for next year for an even longer stay so if that isn’t a recommendation I don’t know what is. - Anonymous, Austin, TX

Only problems were annoying boys monopolizing the pool - throwing a ball the length of the pool for hours on end midday.
And noseeums! - Carolyn P., San Luis Obispo, CA

The rental company was a pleasure to work with. The only problem with the condo was that the air conditioner ran so loudly that you couldn't hear the tv. - Richard & Brenda F., Verona, Wi

This vacation was by far the best one we have taken as a family so far. Between southern hospitality and comfort you’ll find the island rentals. We were a 2 minute walk to the beach through our resort and had the luxury of a pool during high tide hours. We cannot wait to come back! - Aliceanna S., Bristol, VA

This penthouse condo is the best we have stayed in the past 5 years. It is large and spacious. Everything is clean and tidy. We had good night's rest on the beds. The kitchen seemed to have all the utensils you need. The staff is very friendly. We rented through Selection Vacation Properties and they helped us have a great vacation here - George Y., New Castle, PA

We had a wonderful time at Island Beach Club. The property was very well taken care of, from the landscaping to the elevator. It was only a short walk to the beach or pool from any of the units. The atmosphere was very family friendly from the staff to the residents who lived there. - Anonymous, Winter Garden, FL
