  We loved the location of the property. The amenities were great. There is still renovations being done due to hurricane Ian, but it did not bother us.

  First, let me be clear, Sanibel Moorings is awesome. Great location, nice staff, beautifully maintained grounds, etc. we’ve been staying in the same room for the past 15 years, we love it. However the room itself needs some major TLC. Big stains on the couch, the front door has a large crack around the frame, the whole condo really needs to be re-painted, Needs a deep clean, etc. Hopefully the owner will put some money back into their investment and bring it back to its previously glorious state. On the plus side, the room’s location is excellent and the beds and bed linens are super comfortable.

  Erin C from Little Rock, AR recommends this vacation rental

  Really enjoyed our stay at Sanibel Moorings! It has beautiful grounds and exotic, tropical plants everywhere that put out gorgeous blooms. Also enjoyed watching the local wildlife (bunnies, birds, turtles) on the grounds. This unit has a wonderful location on the second floor with two balconies that have gorgeous ocean views. I liked that there were twin beds for my two kids. Each room conveniently has a TV. The beds were comfortable and clean, and the unit was clean overall. The decor is decent, but a bit tired looking. The unit is in desperate need of a paint job and would suggest tile flooring instead of carpet given the sand. The kitchen ceiling fan didn’t seem to work and the guest bath exhaust fan sounds terrible.

  I am sorry to say that my experience at Sanibel Mooring Gulf Front was not good. There are a lot of places to stay, and I would try to avoid this property if possible. This comment is due to the poor customer service and quality of the condo we rented and not the location of the property

  Steve K from Cincinnati, Ohio does not recommend this vacation rental.

  The property was beach front so had nice views, but needed complete updates. We have stayed at numerous units at Sanibel Moorings over the last 10 years and this one was the most outdated. It was one of the furthest units from the amenities like grills, laundry, pool, etc... The view was not worth the added expense given the other factors.

  Nicole H from Midland, MI does not recommend this vacation rental.

  The furniture was cute and looked like the pictures. The bedding and pillows were comfortable. There was a lot of wear and tear in the unit. Peeling paint, lots of dings on walls and molding. The carpet could be replaced (shaggy carpet in Florida with moisture and sand don’t go well together). Slow drain in master bath, rusty shower curtain rods and curtain hangers. Bathrooms could use a lot of help. The overall Moorings property was wonderful for our stay. Close to the beach with chairs and umbrellas. Our group of 16 with 8 kids under 9 years old did not appreciate the adult only time at the pool. We had to plan out days around that time and naps and most of our kids only wanted to be at the pool. I’ve never stayed anywhere that had that rule. We were respectful and made sure we picked up and left at that time, but having a pool to use in the middle of the hot afternoon day next to you condo unit in FL is something that we thought we were paying for. Had we known about the pool closure to our kids in the middle of the afternoon, I don’t think we would have booked here.

  Our overall vacation experience at Sanibel Moorings was good. Our unit was as described, very comfortable and more than adequately equipped for the type of vacation we were taking. And the views from both lanai’s were amazing! The resort was very well maintained and you can’t beat the location -part of why we chose it. I’ve been coming to the island for over 30 years, with my husband for 20, and our kids for 15. My parents rent short term down on East Gulf close to Periwinkle. My aunt owns a unit at Periwinkle Park. We’ve stayed at a number of different resorts on island and were looking for a change that the moorings could offer. And while we enjoyed our room, the resort, and location very much we found the management very lacking. They seemed particularly overwhelmed and on a number of occasions publicly and loudly spoke about difficulties they were having with guests. We were even shamed into bringing our beach chairs back to the storage area -which we were planning on doing anyway. We also had an incident where we rented our bikes separately from the resort and we had been storing them in the wrong spot. Rather than helping to direct us on where we could store them we were told right from the atart of the conversation on the phone that “there was a serious problem that needed to be corrected immediately.” This management style ruined our relaxation on our number of occasions and is something we would consider before paying the almost $5,000 a week for the beautiful and comfortable knit we stayed in at your lovely property.
