Summary: Very nice stay. It was a nice 1 mile walk to the beach, so we didn't have to pay for parking. Saw a dolphin in the causeway while sitting on the balcony. Very nice condo.

Summary: This was one of my top five vacations and the location, amenities and communication were the reason I loved it so much. Bob contacted me several times before the vacation to make sure I had all the information I needed and answered questions quickly and kindly.The checkin process was simple and without issue. We found the unit to be very clean and stocked with items far beyond any previous rental I've stayed at. The unit was decorated nicely and it was easy to find and utilize all of the amenities. The bikes were in great shape, the kitchen had every item we needed and more. There were plenty of bedding and bath supplies.I'm giving 5 stars for the unit because I can't remember if I was told that there was an extra sink but only one toilet or not. I'm guessing I was because Bob is such a great communicator and I probably didn't process it. I think it's important to know that the 1/2 bath is actually a sink and counter in the main bedroom (which is very nice!!)The steps were a lot by mid week but the view is wonderful...the unit small but cozy and the price is right!Then canal is amazing!! Fishing and wildlife viewing is out of this world! I caught 7 different species of fish and saw dolphins, manatees and iguanas. Licenses are easy to purchase and a bait shop nearby has all you need. Wonderful vacation!! Highly recommend!

Summary: Very close to the causeway thus minimizing wait in traffic especially during rush hour when getting on or off the island. The host was very helpful and was always available for questions. This made check in a lot easier. Just note though, the unit is on the third floor and as far as I knowtherewere no elevaIt'jknees.enjmstaywould

Summary: We stayed at this adorable little place and have so many wonderful things to say about it. First off, Bob, the host, was absolutely amazing to deal with and communicated every step of the way. This house had everything we could have ever needed, and my kids enjoyed it so much this is there perfect place for a small family. We were there during Hurricane Helene, and Bob was so good with communicating and making sure we were comfortable and safe all through the storm. This house is stocked to the max with cooking materials and everything you could ever need! Thank you so much for a wonderful experience. We will definitely be back!

Summary: We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Tennisplace. It is immediately off of the causeway, so it is very easy to access once you arrive on the island. The condo was exactly as described. We were very happy with how clean it was and that there were no musty smells! It is decorated nicely and has everything available that you can possibly imagine to need. The unit is older but Bob is updating things bit by bit (most recently the flooring). We loved having our morning coffee and evening tea (or wine!) on the balcony. What a beautiful view of the canal. The noseeums were the only drawback as they were brutal the second half of our week. The condo is not on the beach but Bob has an umbrella and two chairs that are easily loaded into the car and off you go. Be aware that parking is $5/hr on Sanibel beaches (this can add up). It was very quiet within the complex and the few neighbours we saw were very friendly. All in all, we enjoyed the stay and found it be perfect for our needs. We would definitely return! Thank you Bob and Carol!

Summary: We loved our stay! The unit was well kept, and the location was perfect for accessing everything on the island, or for getting off the island easily. We really appreciated the owner's communication - everything was well documented, and the unit came with everything we needed for a fun and comfortable stay on the island. We've been coming to Sanibel for 26 years, and we like to stay in different locations to see more of the island, but this is one of the places we will revisit for sure. Thanks for everything!
