Husband wants to take me on one of my bucket list trips for our 40th anniversary. I love shelling and October is the least expensive plus more potential for shelling. What are your opinions providing I plan on making the airfare and hotel refundable?
I used to come to Sanibel in the winters but I haven’t been since before covid happened and then the hurricane. I see posts here about all the no-see-ums. Are they still really bad? I don’t remember ever having issues with bug bites in the past. Also how has the rebuilding going? It’s been nearly 4 years now, I would think those who are going to rebuild would do it by now.
Hey everyone 👋🏼
We're a local business from the Fort Myers Beach area and we're over on Sanibel almost daily delivering baby gear to families staying on the island.
Whenever we're at a different property for a customer, we try to do a quick walk-around video so people who haven't been back in a while can see current conditions and what the property actually has to offer.
Latest stop was Pointe Santo on West Gulf Drive.
What we saw this week:
• Beach access / beach in front of the property looking good
• Both pools open and clean
• Buildings / grounds look well kept - landscaping is back
(They’re still working on the office building, but that seems to be the last construction)
• Super quiet west end, easy bike ride to Bowman's Beach
• Great setup for families - lots of 2 and 3 bedroom condos with full kitchens and ground floor options
We put the full walk-through on our blog along with a few other properties we've done recently (Breakers West, etc) if anyone wants to see more before a trip. Happy to link it in comments if that's allowed - didn't want to drop a link in the main post.
Not affiliated with Pointe Santo at all, just one of the places we deliver to a lot and people ask about.
If you're planning on staying anywhere on Sanibel and want eyes on something specific next time we're over there, let me know. Happy to check.
Anyone else stayed at Pointe Santo recently? How was your experience?
