This very special 2nd floor Sundial condo offers the best location on Sanibel Island. With a 25 foot lanai and only 25' from the beach, you will enjoy spectacular and unobstructed views of the beach and Gulf of Mexico from this spacious and beautifully updated beachfront accommodation.
 
Of the 407 condo units at Sundial A203 is one of only six 1-bedroom units that is a true Direct Gulf Front. From every room you will enjoy the panoramic and unobstructed views of the beach and Gulf of Mexico through our large screened lanai. Sundial A203 is a second floor unit that has been recently updated. This unit is also very spacious and is the largest of the one bedroom units available at the Sundial Beach Resort. 
 
There is a master bedroom with a king bed and a sleep-sofa in the living room. This home away from home is sparkling clean and is fully equipped. There is a washer and dryer, Wifi internet service, extremely comfortable bedding, and it is decorated in a tasteful Floridian theme. For your enjoyment, there is a 60 inch wall mounted TV with DVD/VCR and a video library in the living room and a 40 inch wall mounted TV in the BR.  There are beach chairs and beach umbrella . To maximize the views from everywhere in the condo, there are sliding doors that open to the 25' screened balcony (lanai).   Be aware that the BR is separated from the living room by a 12 foot retractable partition.  When the partition is open, you have a 25 foot wall of glass sliders opening to the lanai and spectacular views of the gulf from every place in the unit. This makes the unit ideal for 2 people.  It may be less desirable for families with kids or couples who prefer two separate sleeping areas.
 

We make personal and family use of the condo 6-8 weeks each year.   As such, we furnish, decorate and equip the unit to the standards required to make it a comfortable second home.  The kitchen is fully equipped with modern appliances.  You will also find an ample supply of dishes, cookware, utensils, dishtowels and other kitchenware to meet all your needs.  The dining room comfortably seats four and opens to the living room, the lanai and the spectacular ocean view.  All linens and bath towels are provided and there is a washer and dryer in the unit.  We try to include as many staples as possible so you don’t have to run to the store as soon as you arrive and don’t have to buy a month’s supply of something for a one-week stay.  These include items like soap, toilet paper, dish and laundry detergent, paper towels and much more.

Sundial A203 is off the beautiful Gulf Coast of southwest Florida, across a causeway and a few miles west of Ft. Myers. Popular amenities and activities in the area include world class shelling and fishing, 14 miles of unspoiled beaches, 25 miles of bike paths, 6000 acres of nature preserve, golf, tennis, boutique shopping, museums, superb dining, live theater, art galleries, and a variety of water sports.

WHAT TO DO ON SANIBEL:  For the beach lover and sun worshiper, there is an endless beach producing a new harvest of shells with each new tide. Sanibel is known as the shelling capital of the world. If outdoor sports are your priority, enjoy the three island golf courses and several championship courses nearby. Tennis courts are available at no charge and there are miles of bike paths on Sanibel on which you can explore the Island. For the nature lover there is the Ding Darling Wildlife Sanctuary offering rare sightings of tropical birds, alligators and other wildlife. There is also The Bailey Tract and Tarpon Bay which have nature trails, mangrove canoe trails and other interesting exhibits. 
 
ABOUT US: My name is Dave Herrick.   My wife Sandy and I live north of Boston and we purchased this unit in Sept 2016.   We also own a 2 BR unit gulf front unit at another complex 1 mile down the beach that we bought in 2004. We have been coming to Sanibel for over 35 years.   We owned a condo in the 80s which we unfortunately sold in 1992.   
During those years, we made Sanibel our annual vacation, usually over the Holidays to coincide with school vacations for our three boys.   Sometimes we had Christmas trees and boats in tow.   Sometimes it was grandparents joining us to escape the Boston cold.   On every occasion, it was a trip we all looked forward to with excitement and anticipation.   My kids learned to swim on Sanibel.   This is where they saw their first alligator in the wild.   We took daily bike rides on the miles of bike paths and explored the wildlife at the numerous sanctuaries.   Sometimes we just walked the beach at low tide and talked about whatever interesting shells or other sea life we found.   
 
 Overall, Sanibel became a very special place in our lives.   It became a place we all enjoyed together; a difficult concept to achieve in a diverse and growing family.   During the nineties, we missed our southern sojourns, but with the kids involved in school activities and moving on to college, it became increasingly difficult to schedule family trips.   Interestingly, with the kids now through school and with kids of their own, they have rekindled their own memories and attraction to the Island. 
 
We have enjoyed this new phase in our lives and look forward to continuing to share our Sanibel home with our family and with other new and returning visitors. 
 
Our desire is to establish a high quality, well maintained unit to which our guests will want to return to, year after year. 
 
Please call me before booking online for clarification of rental conditions

REVIEWS
My wife and I just purchased this unit in Sept, 2016. The reviews below were posted on the prior owner's website.  We have been owners/visitors to Sanibel for over 35 years and will strive to maintain and build upon this foundation to enhance your vacation experience
 
Great view, nice condo!
 My husband and I just returned from the beautiful Sanibel Island.  Our stay at Sundial A203 couldn't have been better!  The condo is clean and spacious and the view cannot possibly be beat!!  Glenn and Gerrie are very conscientious about keeping the condo in great condition and make sure their guests are satisfied customers.  The king bed is very comfortable!   The beach is great for long walks and enjoying the magnificent ocean.  If you are not a "beach sitter", the pools have  plenty  of seating.  The grounds of the Sundial are also very beautiful and well manicured.  The beach is not raked, since Sanibel is very eco-friendly. So you should expect the typical debris that would wash up from the ocean along with all the shells!    I would request that some new beach chairs be purchased by the condo owners, since the ones available to take to the beach are at the end of being usable.  May I suggest wooden frames  that won't rust in the dampness of the storage closet.  Also having a lounger would be great!!

Anniversary trip
 We loved the cozy, comfortable condo! So close to the beach, we enjoyed seeing Dolphins several mornings from the lanai! Went biking and enjoyed walking the beach, watched people shelling from early morning to late at night! Having the pool so close was wonderful, managed to read two books. Privacy was very important to us and this place was great, glad we chose Sundial A203???? The sunrise & sunsets were stunning.

Perfect location, this condo was exactly what the owners had stated. Best location at Sanibel Beach steps from the sand it was equipped with everything we needed for our relaxing week. Very clean amazing view from the Lanai and the layout worked perfectly for my husband and I.  It was our first trip to Sanibel and we absolutely loved it, wonderful Island to kick back relax and just enjoy vacation. Lots of nice local places to dine, we enjoyed the Sanibel Café for breakfast/brunch as well as the Over Easy Café, give the Fish House a try we had great service and a very good Grouper Basket for dinner. For all your groceries needs Jerry's is a nice little stop and Most of All rent the bicycles what a great way to see the Island and stop for some Ice Cream. I enjoyed morning walks on the beach during sunrise and made a trip to the Sanibel Lighthouse one morning as well as driving to Captiva Island for the amazing sunset multiple times. This is truly a little piece of heaven.

We were very happy with this lovely condo!  It was our first beach vacation and set the standard very high for when and if we vacation on another beach!  Our view of the Gulf was phenomenal!  The procedure for receiving our condo key was easy and the condo had everything we needed to spend a great week of leisurely living at the beach.

 A Little Bit of Heaven On Earth
 The description of the property including location and the condo itself was 100% accurate.  The condo was as clean as a whistle and the owner could not have been more helpful, pleasant and attentive. There was information concerning not only the condo and condo complex, but also area restaurants, shopping, local attractions and a guest book, which I found to be very helpful, especially since it was my first (hopefully, not last) visit to Sanibel. It had first-hand reviews from guests who had stayed there regarding most anythng you would want to know.  Waking up to the view each morning did seem like a "little bit of heaven".  Even though I was on vacation, I woke up early every morning  just to see the sunrise over the water.  Everything is close by.  Restaurants are very reasonable and the choice is varied.  It was one of the most relaxing vacations I have ever had - beach 30 seconds away --  pool 30 seconds away --  what more can you ask for !  I would without hesitation, recommend this condo/vacation to anyone.  Looking forward to my next visit !

What a fabulous room to relax, view the gulf and Fort Meyers.  And so close to the water, amazing.  close to the pool, outdoor grill, and a spot for our bikes outside too.  Perfect lani for hanging out, playing games and you can watch the TV from almost anywhere in the condo, if you really need too...  Clean, updated, and nicely appointed.  Big refrig, coffee maker, etc. was all great for our cooking.  can't say enough nice things about our stay at A203...

 Just what we needed!
 For our first time staying on Sanibel, this condo was a gem.  We watched sunrises and moonlit nights from the lanai.  The beach and pool were so close which made it very convenient.  And, there were shells, shells and more shells!  October is a great month to go to Sanibel if you're looking for a relaxing time.  Plenty of parking and no waiting to be seated at restaurants.  Thanks Glenn and Gerrie . . . we hope to be back!

Recently remodeled property overlooking the ocean. Convenient. Relaxing. Lovely.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It was just the right property for our quick getaway. Beautiful sunrise views from the lanai and a great place to relax for cocktails at the end of the day. Just a few yards from the beach. The updated condo has everything you need for a hassle free stay. The location is close to restaurants in Sanibel and a grocery is 10 minutes away if you want to cook in the condo. The beautiful beach is at your doorstep or you can also drive to the public beaches on Sanibel or Captiva. Ding Darling Wildlife Refuge is a must see if you want to appreciate the diverse wildlife on Sanibel. I highly recommend staying here.

Beautiful condo right on the beach

My wife walked into the condo and was totally impressed by the recentl remodeling of this condo. Since it was just the two of us, we kept the slider for the bedroom open which gave us a great feeling of space and the ability of having a great view of the beach and water. The owners were very helpful with any questions we had. The condo had everything needed for a enjoyable stay. We took some long walks on the beach and enjoyed sunning by the pool. The island has some great restaurants. We enjoyed the Mad Hatter the most for quality dining. We also enjoyed the Sanibel Fish House for casual dining. Baileys is a great market including delicious food to take out. Unfortunately we had a medical issue that caused us to cut short our vacation. The owners were again helpful in directing us to the right medical facility. I cannot say enough sbout how cooperative the owners were in this situation.

The fantastic location was just the icing on the cake!

We've vacationed on Sanibel many times and this was easily our new favorite place! We loved everything about this newly renovated Sundial condo- the decor, the great pool, and the most gorgeous gulf-front view! VRBO and the owner made booking a breeze. We'll definitely be back!

Perfect location, just steps from the beach.

The condo was nice and clean with a huge balcony overlooking the beach. The grounds crew at the complex keeps everything looking nice and manicured. It feels and appears to be a quite and safe place to vacation. The owner was polite and easy to work with. I will stay here again.

Would like to stay forever!

Perfect location. If you are coming to Sanibel for the beach, this is where you want to be. Condo literally on the beach. Entire wall facing beach is glass so can enjoy views any time of day or night. We were able to view a full moon reflecting on the waves, very cool. How crazy is it to be able to lay in bed and see the beach? Or make a meal and be able to see the beach from the kitchen? The glass doors open both in the middle and ends onto the lanai, so if you need to divide the condo for privacy, each party has access to the lanai without disturbing the other. ( There is a sliding folding door that you can pull across the condo for privacy if needed. ) This condo is on the lowest living level (parking underneath in spots) and to my delight found out there is an elevator that let me avoid climbing stairs. Ample uncovered parking close to the unit. The inside of condo was comfortable. Had everything we needed and we had no problems with any appliances etc. Pool is adjacent to the building. Cable and wifi provided. There is a washer/dryer in the unit. Recycling bins on property. I hesitate telling how fun it is to stay here because in the future there might not be any openings when I want to rent it! :) The only thing we found troublesome, which is not a problem with the condo but rather the location, were the no-see-um insects. They are small enough to get through the lanai screen and eat you alive. Like mini mosquitoes. We used deep woods off without much success. So if you are headed to sanibel, heads up. Maybe there is something we didn't know about to keep them away. You will need a car, in my opinion, if you stay here. We liked Baileys store for all kinds of food and other beach needs. We particularly enjoyed Island pizza for inexpensive good food. And try the public beaches, they are all slightly different. Tons of sea shells at all of them. Love Sanibel!!!
