Loggerhead Cay #261

PROS - easy walk to beach, convenient to stores on Sanibel, apartment is spacious, clean and plenty of seating, kitchen well appointed with all the cookware you need, the onsite grills were great. Check in and out was easy and safe.
CONS - complex itself not suited to the capacity of travelers, couldn't use the pool due to the crowd and the pool area was quite small and dated, kids were screaming everywhere, no one seemed to think they should try to social distance, while dog friendly, the middle of the complex is a huge yard that you cannot take the dog in. There is no view of the beach from the unit. I'd recommend this stay to friends with kids needing a spacious, beach adjacent pet friendly getaway. - Anonymous, Miami, FL

I spent 12 weeks at Loggerhead Cay #261 once again this winter and enjoyed my stay thoroughly. The weather was extremely cooperative for the most part, and the beach walking, as usual, was wonderful.

As always, the folks at Select Vacation Properties were friendly, helpful and professional, as has been my experience since I first started renting this property from them in December of 2013. - Gini S., Woodstock, Ont

We just rented unit #261 in Loggerhead Cay, and really our time. The place was clean, decor was nice, and surprisingly all the rooms were spacious. We had a total of 5 and it never felt cramped. The kitchen was well equipped. We were very surprised at how quiet it was considering the places all seem pretty booked but you never heard noise!! We would definitely stay again!! - Anonymous, Lakewood, NJ

Select Vacation is the best! They took great care of my family and I. We stayed at a very clean condo that was close to the pool and the beach. This was our 3rd year staying with SVP at Loggerhead Cay. We’ve already booked for next year! - Gerald M., Harrisburg, NC

This is the sixth winter that I have rented Unit 261 at Loggerhead Cay through Select Vacation Properties. The company personnel are extremely friendly and helpful and maintenance requests are always handled very promptly. The unit, itself, is bright and spacious, and I like the fact that it is situated on the ground floor, which means being able to access the courtyard via the lanai door and is only minutes from both pool and beach. - Gini S., Woodstock, Ont

I am actually staying in Unit #261 until Saturday, March 11, 2017, but received two separate bookings - one covering the first two weeks and the other 10 weeks in 2017. This is my fourth winter staying at this unit, and I am happy to be back. The property description is accurate; the property is clean and well maintained; Select Vacation Property provides excellent customer service; and I would recommend this property to friends or relatives. - Gini S., Woodstock, Ont

I rented Unit #261 - Loggerhead Cay for 12 weeks this winter, but already reviewed my stay from December 12 to January 1. That I am very satisfied with both premises and property management personnel is reflected by the fact that I have booked again for 2017-18.

The description of the location, layout, and amenities is accurate.

Proximity to the beach and Gulf of Mexico is very high on my priority list. The weather was fantastic this year and I walked on the beach for hours virtually every afternoon, often clad only in my bathing suit. I also took advantage of the adults-only swim time in the pool in the late afternoon.

That I can manage quite nicely on Sanibel without a car is another plus from my perspective. Everything that I need to access is within what is my idea of easy walking distance. For example, it takes me a half hour to get to Gerry’s and 45 minutes to reach Sanibel Public Library. Whether walking or cycling, the paved trails are both convenient and safe.

Having said that, I appreciated having access to a rental car when I had company on five occasions this winter, since that meant being able to purchase most of my groceries and other supplies in Fort Myers, where there is more variety and prices are lower. Given that I am vegan and prefer to prepare my own meals, grocery shopping off island is particularly appealing.

The unit was not **** and span when I arrived, and whomever stayed there before me failed to report some required maintenance work. However, the folks at Select Vacation Properties provided cheerful, prompt and excellent service (generally same day), whether I needed a damaged door repaired or new dish cloths & towels, or made a rate inquiry for next year.

The grounds and facilities are well maintained and the setting is generally very quiet, except when the grounds crew members are working or there are excited children in the pool.

We stayed in the condo for 12 nights leading up to Thanksgiving 2016 and it was superb.

Location is perfect, right on the beach. Facilities at the condos are great with a decent pool, tennis and shuffleboard. Very quiet, particularly when you consider it was almost full by Thanksgiving but no noise or disturbance.

The condo itself was well fitted out with brand new appliances, fully stocked kitchen, great cable TV and internet, washer / dryer etc. Couldn't ask for more.

We hired bikes for the full time from Finnimores and hardly used the car whilst on the island.

Top tip, walk up Beach Road opposite to get to Bennett's on Periwinkle for morning coffee and donuts. The walk gives you a decent excuse to indulge :-) - Anonymous, Manchester, XX

I rented Unit #261 - Loggerhead Cay for 12 weeks this winter. I am very satisfied with both premises and property management personnel, so much so that I have booked again for 2018-2019.

The description of the location, layout, and amenities is accurate.

Proximity to the beach and Gulf of Mexico is very high on my priority list. The weather was fantastic this year, other than a few cooler days in January and just before my departure. I walked on the beach for hours virtually every afternoon, often clad only in my bathing suit.

Being able to manage quite nicely on Sanibel without a car is another plus from my perspective. Everything that I need to access is within what I consider to be easy walking distance. For example, it takes me half an hour to get to Jerry's Shopping Centre and 50 minutes or so to reach Sanibel Public Library. Whether walking or cycling, the paved trails are both convenient and safe. Having said that, I appreciated having access to a rental car when I had company on at least four occasions this winter, since that meant being able to purchase most of my groceries and other supplies in Fort Myers, where there is more variety and the prices are lower. Given that I am vegan and prefer to prepare my own meals, rather than eating out, grocery shopping off island is very appealing.

The unit was not **** and span when I arrived, and whomever stayed there before me failed to report some required maintenance work and missing essentials. However, the folks at Select Vacation Properties provided cheerful, prompt and excellent service (generally same day), whether I needed a lightbulb or chaise lounge replaced or some additional hangers purchased.

The grounds and facilities are well maintained and the setting is generally very quiet, except when the grounds crew members are at work on Wednesday mornings or there are excited children in the pool.

This condo was nicely decorated and had everything we needed. The photos were very accurate. It was close to the pool and beach which worked well for us and our 4 1/2 yr old. They had a beach chair, umbrella, beach toys and three beach towels for us to use. We liked the island location as well since it was an easy drive to the shops,restaurants,library, post office and grocery stores. We were able to get a temporary library membership and checkout kids games and puzzles as well as kids books. We enjoyed the Ding darling refuge area. We had a great dinner at Doc Ford's our last night, really good seafood. The coffee and pastries at Bennett's roasted were very good. We also had a good dinner at George and Wendy's , good shrimp tacos and ribs. Really nice wait staff!

The only problem we had was with the wireless service which I was never able to get the password etc for even though I requested by phone. The management company should have that worked out before their next clients since I let them know at the office when I dropped off the keys. I used my hotspot all week but would have preferred wireless. They were very prompt in taking care of some minor maintence issues and very pleasant to deal with overall. We really enjoyed our vacation at this condo and would definitely recommend this location. - Anonymous, Towson, MD

The property description was totally accurate in terms of location, layout, amenities, etc. I have never met the owners of the condo that I rent through Select Vacation Properties, but the unit is nicely furnished and decorated, and the kitchen well equipped. The property management firm employees and the maintenance person who works for the firm do an excellent job, responding immediately to any requests. The Loggerhead Cay grounds are clean and well maintained, and the complex provides a very quiet setting, since many of the units are owned and/or rented by seniors.

My preferred activities are walking on the beach for hours every afternoon, along the edge of the Gulf of Mexico, thereby keeping fit and getting a great tan, and swimming in the salt-water pool from 4:00 to 5:00 each day, weather permitting, which is an adults-only swim time. (There is another from 8:00 to 9:00 a.m.). The beach is less than 5 minutes from the unit, and was well used, but never congested. (Having said that, I leave before the March break crowds descend).

I was on Sanibel without a car . . . The paved trails along the major routes are great for walking, running and cycling, and make accessing stores, the library, etc. safe and convenient.

I have rented the same unit for twelve/thirteen weeks for the past three winters, and made a reservation for 2016-2017, so clearly I am well satisfied. - Gini S., Woodstock, Ont

We had an incredible vacation at Sanibel Island. Our family of 5 thoroughly loved our condo at Loggerhead Cay. It was beautiful and the complex is very well maintained. The beaches along Sanibel and Captiva are amazing. We shelled for hours each day. We drove 17 hours to get to get to Sanibel and it was totally worth the trip. We cannot wait to return! - Anonymous, Greensboro, NC

This property was amazing and had every that you need to have a great vacation on Sanibel, my smallest complaint would be that the fully stocked kitchen did not have one non stick pan to make eggs in the morning. If we get lucky enough to come back, I will gift one to these lucky condo owners. the place is very well appointed and very clean. - Anonymous, Miami, FL
