About this space

1 BR Gulf Front Sanibel Condo - 25 Steps to the the Beach

Condo, 1 Bedroom +sleep sofa, 1 Bath, (Sleeps 2-4)

LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION are said to be the three most important considerations in identifying desirable real estate. On Sanibel Island this can be further defined to VIEWS, VIEWS and more VIEWS in selecting your vacation home.   At our unit A203 at the Sundial Resort, we think we have a combination of location and view that can't be beat. The unit is only 25 feet from the beach, an amenity hard to find anywhere on the Island. Located near the elbow of the Island, the views from the beach offer both inspiring morning sunrises and spectacular evening sunsets. The beach is famous for the variety of shells that are found and the surf is generally gentle and slopes gradually, making for a great swim area, especially for small children. With limited development on both sides, the atmosphere of tropical remoteness and serenity is enhanced.

To maximize the unobstructed beach and gulf views from everywhere in the condo, there are 25’ of sliding glass doors that open to the 25' screened balcony (lanai).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, and it is decorated in a tasteful Floridian theme. For your family's enjoyment, there is a 55” wall mounted TV with DVD in the living room and a 43” TV in the BR. There are beach chairs and a beach umbrella and beach toys.   We make personal use of the condo several 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 a starter supply of many staples, 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.

If you have never been to Sanibel, we believe you will find it to be a unique and tropical vacation destination. If you are a returning visitor, we invite you to consider our Sanibel home for your vacation. In either case, we believe you will be very happy with your choice.

About David Herrick

Sanibel Island Vacation Condos by David Herrick Hi, my name is Dave Herrick. My wife Sandy and I live north of Boston and we have owned this unit since 2004. We have been coming to Sanibel for over 30 years. We owned a condo in the 80s which we unfortunately sold in 1992. Ever since then, we have been hoping to be able to someday re-establish an ownership position on the Island. Our desire is to establish a high quality, well maintained unit to which our guests will want to return to, year after year. During the 80s 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 sealife 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. Dave and Sandy Herrick David Herrick purchased this Condo in 2004 Why David Herrick chose SanibelIf you have never been to Sanibel and you like quiet , layback, tropical, no street lights, no hi-rises and miles of bike paths, you must give Sanibel a try.
