We have stayed in Pine Cover unit 304 for several years and are very please with the unit and the complex. It is conveniently located centrally for easy access to everything from the Lighthouse beach to Captiva's beaches. The Unit itself is nicely furnished and has a great ocean view and large lanai. - Angelia K., Atlanta, GA

We have rented this unit multiple times over the years. It is always a pleasure to stay there. However, there are a few upgrades we feel the owners really should make to make it comparable to other units. The mattress on the master bed is terrible and sags on both sides. A new mattress or at the very least a nice mattress topper would have made our stay more comfortable. We have also stayed in the unit next door, #303, multiple times and they have a memory foam mattress topper on the master bed that is fantastic. The dryer takes many many cycles to get things dry which was very frustrating, especially when the policy is to not leave more than 2 loads of laundry upon check out. The washer is fine, but the dryer should be replaced. The tiles on the screened in porch are very grimy and feel gross to walk on. The cleaning crew should scrub/mop out there. I think people must be spraying sunscreen or something out there and it's sticking to the tiles like glue. Lastly, the kitchen faucet/sprayer has been loose for many years. We have complained each time we have stayed there and it still has not been replaced. Yes it works, but it dangles loosely in the faucet. This would be an inexpensive and easy thing to replace. - Blythe K., Charlotte, North Carolina

We had a lovely stay in this unit. It is attractive, very spacious - 3 large bedrooms plus bunk room, large master bath, additional shared bath, large living/dining area, oversized deck. Ocean view. Occasionally the pool area (right below) is noisy. Easy beach access.

The property was generally clean and well maintained. The mattress in the master bedroom is lumpy, and the sinks in the master bath do not drain well, but overall, we had very comfortable stay and would gladly stay there again. Management company was responsive and pleasant.

Favorite places - restaurants Sanibel Island Cafe, Over Easy Cafe, Lighthouse Cafe, Sunset Grill, Matzaluna; kayaks through Tarpon Bay explorers; sunset cruise through Adventures in Paradise; would have done a wildlife charter through Gulf Coast Marine Excursions, but for red tide. The captain was honest about conditions, and we really appreciated that. Bike rentals a must - the entire island is crossed by safe paths, a great way to get around. - Anonymous, Cambridge, MA

We loved this condo. The kitchen had all the things I needed to cook with. Condo was very clean and modern. Felt like home and the biggest problem we had with the condo is that we had to leave it.(all good things have to come to an end right?) Would love to stay there again. :) My only complaint is that they didn't clean the pool and pool area like we would like. - Michelle W., Elkin, NC

I have stayed at Pine Cove #304 more than a few times over 5 years or so. Although it is close to the public beach path and the beach was very crowded for a few days during the Memorial Day holiday, after things settled down (i.e. Tuesday), it returned to feeling like it was a "private" beach. There is something about its location on West Gulf Drive that makes for an easy access to biking in any direction. It's also an easy drive to anything on the island (i.e. stores, theater, etc.). I especially enjoy how light and bright it is in the main living area. The many windows for the expansive lanai is a major selling point for me. If there is one recommendation I would make it is to remove the dried/silk flower arrangements that are in almost every room. They aren't needed to fill spaces and in fact may detract from the enormity of the condo. There were a few repairs to be made as the ice maker did not work and the dryer for some reason took hours to dry items. The ice maker that I called about on Sunday was fixed after 2 visits by a repairman - the first being on Tuesday and then another visit on Wednesday. As for the dryer, I managed with allowing lots of time and resetting it plus called Select Vacations after I got home. Since management had gotten the ice maker fixed, I have no doubt they'll get the dryer up to speed for someone else's stay. I would/will book this condo again. - Patricia J., Millers, Md

The condo is very large and uniquely decorated. It is on the beach with easy access. The building size is perfect for those who don’t like big crowds. We had a nine month baby with us and many times had the pool to ourselves. It was great! The only downfall...and I consider this big, is the pots and pans were not clean, some had food stuck on them and the utensil drawer stuff felt dirty, sticky . If this could be fixed it would make this a perfect place! - Mark S., Lewisburg, OH

We have been vacationing on Sanibel for approx 20 years and each year we leave feeling so satisfied and relaxed. Sanibel is like a piece of paradise to our family. We are so appreciative of those families who allow us to stay in their vacation homes. For the past approx 10 years we have called Pine Cove #304 our home even if for just one week out of the year, - Anonymous, Indianapolis, IN

After more than 7 years of visits to Sanibel Island, Pine Cove 304 remains a favorite even if some refreshing/updating should be done. Pine Cove is ideally located and the 3rd floor end unit has the best view compared to lower floors plus 3 bedrooms with all king size beds. The complex is small which makes it feel quite private. There are a few items that need repair (ex: barstool was unsafe to sit on, sink in master bathroom had many cracks/scratches, lint collector in dryer broken, etc). The humongous amount of dried flower arrangements are old and actually detract from the overall perception of the rooms. But having said all that I'd still choose to stay at 304 for the reasons stated. - Patricia J., Millers, Md

My family and I (3 generations) have been coming to Sanibel for 40 years; 1975-2015. In that time we have owned a condo, sold a condo, rented various properties from condos to larger homes, and continue to be drawn to Pine Cove as one of our favorite properties to stay at. The location is perfect, the complex is relatively small, and the views are stunning. Unit #304 has been one of our favorites and feels like home to us. I will say that it could use some updating and redecorating, and hopefully the owners have plans to do this. The unit is spacious, well-equipped and comfortable. We will be back later this year to enjoy another week at our beloved Sanibel Island! - Anonymous, Venice, FL
