"This was the most wonderful vacation we have ever had! There was a total of 18 of us all together. We saw dolphins every day up close. We saw manatees daily within 20 feet. The shelling out on the Gulf was great. Everyone we met was very nice. It was so quiet and peaceful. This was just what we all needed. We had great weather all week...The private beach was perfect for the kids. Much easier to relax. Thanks Sandy for all of your organization on your part, getting the five condos organized! We will never forget this vacation!" Kellie &Zain Nolen, Beth Deaton, Amy Brown, Ohio
" Decided to take the kids to the beach before school and after countless hours of being rejected because we couldn't stay 3 nights, we found Sandy's Beachfront Condos. I booked, paid for my trip, and got all my check in docs within 3 days. I had very timely (sometimes at 1/2am in the morning responses to my questions. Multiple payment options, and I was allowed to check out late on Sunday. The views you see on the trip advisor and on their website are EXACTLY what you will be seeing. It's absolutely breathtaking if it's your first time staying beach side. The pool was wonderful going up to 8 feet. I saw people using the grills outside and taking advantage of the amenities. I found a 24 hour CVS and cooked each night since I had the kids, but I did drive around and there are restaurants/bars that service music late at night with music. HEB, Walmart, and red boxes are about 15 minutes away (across the bridge) and it's a lovely ride. Having two full bathrooms was really nice and we weren't on top of each other. The Beach is amazing. You can rent chairs and umbrella for $30 a day. Or the condo is a 1 minute walk (just down the walk way) so you can go to the water and right back to the condo. I was also able to see a beach side wedding! Loved it! The owner is very accommodating so if you're looking for no hassles, quick turn around times, and a place with perfect access to the beach and the views. This is the spot!! Thank you," Rasheeda James
"We are a senior Canadian couple. We rented Sandy's Aquarius for February 2014 and loved it! The condo had just been remodeled, and it is lovely! Views from the two decks are incredible! Sandy's manager handled our phone problems very quickly. The Aquarius staff are very helpful and friendly. The other renters at Aquarius are long time repeaters and are very friendly, to include you. Loved S.P.I. and our February stay! Thanks Sandy and Susan, God willing we hope to return next winter." Heather and Buck from Virden, Manitoba, Canada
"Dear Sandy, We had a wonderful, wonderful vacation. We loved your condo. Everything we needed was here and more. Our favorite place was on your balcony. The view is beautiful and interesting. There always was a nice breeze. Steve spent hours sitting out there. We saw dolphins and watched a bird family. Talked to the neighbors walking below. We enjoyed the beach... and the sunsets. Really enjoyed eating at Flippers on the island - beautiful view and very good food. Spent a day at Lover's Key State Park - had the tram ride then stayed on the beach and also fished off the a pier. Had a lovely day at Sanibel and Captiva. Went to Naples for a day. Was glad to get back to 'our' condo where it was peaceful and beautiful. I loved the jacuzzi. The first time I used it I thought I went to heaven. Enjoyed the pool - nice and warm. Went to the flea-market - what a lot of stuff. Spent a couple of hours there and didn't even get to all of the vendors. Picked up some gifts. We were here for 10 days and every day was sunny and warm. Just perfect. Loved the king size bed. This was one of the best vacations we have had. Your condo and the area is just so beautiful. Hopefully we will be able to return next year. Thanks!" ~ S. & S. Wallace, Mass.
"I love the location of the condos on South Padre Island, and Sandy is great to work with" ~ Brenda H, Texas
"Hello Sandy, ... I wanted to take a minute to thank you for letting us stay in your condo on Lover's Key. We had a wonderful two-week vacation. I have to say that your apartment and the facilities at Lover's Key were excellent. Everything was as you described - and nice and clean! We appreciated how well you supplied all the "little things" that some forget. ...We enjoyed the hot tub...We even used the beach chairs on a couple of trips over to the State Park. Again, thank you for all your communications and for letting us stay in your condo. We really enjoyed ourselves!" ~ M. Roach, Maine
"Dear Sandy, We would like to thank you for making our vacation such a wonderful experience at Lover's Key. This was the first time we rented a condo. It was exactly as described and in wonderful condition! The view from our balcony was breathtaking. We were welcomed the first morning with dolphins swimming in the bay within our site. We have two small children. Although it mostly was a mature crowd within the condo, everyone was very friendly. We look forward to visiting Florida again. We highly recommend you to anyone looking for a vacation rental. Thanks so much! ~ The Morey Family, Michigan
"Sandy, Thanks so much for the use of your condo. We loved the location. It seems to have the best of everything: beach front, pool, trolley access, state park close by, etc. It's nice being down on the quieter side of Ft. Myers Beach with the option of either driving or taking the trolley up to the north end. It rained one day while we were there, which made the DVD/VHS player very nice to have. Also having the two TV's available to us was great. The size of the condo was perfect for our family of 4. We did see dolphins from our balcony almost every day!! I've already recommended it to one of our friends." ~ F. Page, Minnesota
"I would like people to know that our stay at condo #206 at South Padre Island was just GREAT! The location was perfect, the view made us feel like w were right on water. I was concerned that being on the second floor would be a problem but I was wrong! The view was at eye level so you did not have to strain looking down or up. The parking was convenient not crowded. The grounds around the condo were so nicely manicured. The staff were friendly. The condo was clean, comfortable. The ice machine in the refrigerator did not work which was no big deal we got a bag of ice at a local store which lasted our stay there. Sandy was very good about contacting me back when I had questions about the condo (phone or email). This was our first time at SPI. No regrets - all good memories. We, my mother, sister and I went the first week of June 2009. It was a great time to go the beach was not even crowded. We are hoping to go again next year maybe in May. Would stay at Sandy's condo again. I highly recommend the Aquarius for your next vacation!!!!! ~Bunny from Texas
“Hi Sandy! What a wonderful place! We had so much fun walking on the beach every day, and there were so many dolphins, it was incredible! We gather beautiful seashells and sat by the pool. It was the most relaxing vacatoin we have ever had, and we can't wait to come back. There wer so many places we went to and within such close driving distance. Your condo was perfect, from the amount of space, the locatoin, the view, and I love the granite countertops. You are wonderful to work with and everything went smoothly and as planned. Thank you! ~ Tammy, Minnesota
"Dear Sandy, Thanks for letting us into your home. Tracy and I visit Fort Myers every spring and fall for the last three years. My wife found you on the internet and this condo is unbelievable. Just sitting here on the porch we are watching the dolphins, sea eagles, pelicans and cormorats doing their thing. WOW. Apartment is just right and has everything we need to dissolve into a relaxed vacation. Thanks again Sandy!” ~ B. Luikart, Ohio
"Hi Sandy, Just a note from Mexico to tell you about how much we enjoyed the condo and it's location! It was the nicest place Mike and I have ever been! We really enjoyed the pool and the walks on the beach. Getting around to the sites in Tulum and Cozumel was so easy and there was always another tourist to share a cab fare with if you didn't want to wait for the next bus! We went to the Caved restaurant called Alux and had a great time strolling down 5th Ave at night. I love to cook, so I had a great time in our little kitchenette. Thanks you so much for all your help and patience with us. We would love to bring our boys with us the next time and rent the same sized suite... I know that after staying on the sofa for a night, they won't have any trouble sleeping there themselves. Thanks again, Sandy. We were extremely impressed and will be booking again for next year around the same time. Bye for now. ~ M. & A. Dohy
" Wanted to send you a note regarding our stay at the condo in Ft. Myers Beach.
I can't say enough about the condo, the resort and the surrounding area. Everything was just perfect. The condo was well kept and you could tell by the comments from previous guests in the condo guest book that no one has been disappointed. My wife has been recovering from breast cancer and the effects of the treatments for the last 8 months and is just back to work this week so it was great therapy for her to take those long early morning walks at Lover's Key. I love to watch and listen to the Osprey in their nests and finally found the perfect picture for my office at a shop at Times Square. We hope to visit the area again next year for our 11th year, hopefully the unit will again be available. Thanks again," ~ G. Machan, Ontario"Sandy, we received the damage deposit refund much sooner than expected and thank you so much.
As potential guests read through these comments and as a visitor to the area for 9 years now, I can guarantee each positive comment is correct. The condo is fabulous, the resort is clean and well maintained and very quiet and relaxing. I always tell people before their first trip to Fort Myers Beach, there is as much or as little as you like to do. Fishing, boating, shopping, beaches and eating, it is all there. Can't wait for next year! ~ D. Machan, St. Thomas ON"Hi Sandy, The vacation was great! I was in awe over the colors and deco of the condo! Just what I love. The WHOLE building was SPOTLESS! Your condo was immaculate! We are beach "hoppers' Lovers Key State Park is our favorite Beach there! Thank you for returning our damage deposit so quickly, we really appreciate it since we are venturing on to our north woods vacation tomorrow. Thanks again, you have been a delight Sandy." ~ S. Smyth, Wisconsin
"My family rented Aquarius unit 707 (South Padre Island) at the end of July. It was very clean. We were happy that it had two full baths (which helped when everyone came back from the beach and needed to take showers.) The kitchen was fully stocked with all the utensils, plates, pans—everything needed to create a home cooked meal. We also used the barbeque pit outside to have hamburgers and hotdogs. The beach was right out the front door. ....The unit was meticulous and the view was gorgeous. The beds were so comfortable and there was cable in every room! The main street on South Padre Island was one block away. One night we took a stroll to McDonald’s and stopped to shop at the stores that were open late. Louie’s backyard is four blocks away and my nephew got to ride the roller coaster go carts. I rate our vacation a 10 and as well as our experience at unit 707!" ~ Angelica Vega
“Sandy, We fall in love with SPI.... so undeveloped, peaceful, un-crowded, un-commercial and wild....hard to believe that beaches like this still exist... We had a beautiful time, very relaxing and quiet. I run on the beach every day, we watched the fireworks, and went to Mexico... I really didn't want to leave. Your apartment was pleasant. Fondly," ~ Beata, Texas
"Had a wonderful week – weather perfect, condo very clean and so near to beach. We were impressed with all the extra’s (beach chairs, umbrella) they were very useful. We went to Naples on many occasions, we took the trolley ride and also the boat trip from Tin City. Saw loads of dolphins. We also went on the eco trip to Babcock Ranch, saw loads of alligators. Also highly recommend Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary. We hired bikes at Lover’s Key State Park and also enjoyed mini-golf…. We also found time to relax by the pool. We will be sad to go home to England as it is cold and wet at this time of year, but who knows, we may come back another year. Thanks.” ~ R. Taylor, Ipswich, England
"Sandy, Great time at South Padre Island. We saw live giant turtles, dolphins, a boat trip, fireworks, the lighthouse, the beach and the pool. Everyone was really nice and friendly and the view was fantastic." ~ Sandra, Texas
"Well, I am back and I need to tell you what a wonderful time we had. The condo was so beautiful and tasteful and so very well decorated. It was so nice to wake up is such a beautiful place everyday. I thoroughly enjoyed the pool, jacuzzi, even used the grills, and to see the dolphins every morning was phenomenal!!!!! We took great care of your place and cleaned up very well but I tell you what, we did not want to leave at all!!! ...I can not tell you what a wonderful stay we had!!! Thank you sooo much, I am sure I will be going down again soon and would love to stay there again. I would also love to check out the Mexico vacations in the future. ... I can not thank you enough.!!!!!!! Thanks again," ~ D. VanHarken, New York
“Sandy, What a week! I am so happy we found your condo on the internet. So much was experienced… Saw so much wild life and beautiful sunsets, white beaches, good food, great shopping, and tons of smiles and laughs. Our family will never forget this vacation. Probably my most favorite thing though was every morning sitting on the balcony and enjoying the view as the sun came up, the breeze, birds, dolphins, and mostly the peace of it all. Thank you for opening up your home to us, we hate to leave it.” ~ B. Durreman, Missouri
"Dear Sandy: My girls and I had a wonderful time in FL. We went to 5 beaches, ate seafood, and slept late. Truly the FL experience! I like to walk on the beach and I liked the sand on the beach at your condo the best. Thanks for allowing us to stay at your place. We had a wonderful vacation!" ~ Twilson
"Sandy, Just wanted to let you know that we had a great time at the condo on South Padre this week.
We were there 5 days but it definitely went by way too fast. My daughter and her boyfriend came from college and was able to spend a few days with us. They had a great time too and wished that they had more time to spend. The condo was perfect. We loved the view and the access to the beach. We were so worried about the weather because of all the rain and flooding here in Texas this past week but it didn't rain until we crossed back over the causeway on our way home this morning. Sunshine everyday. The water....was unbelievable. So yes we had a great time. There was some landscaping and work being done around the condo but it didn't bother us. Thanks again....We will definitely check wtih you when we take our next trip. We enjoyed the time we spent in your condo. Just wished we could have stayed longer. My wife loves Florida, too, so we may check on that condo someday. ~ Arthur Cruz
“Thank you so much for sharing your ‘home away from home’ with us. What a relaxing and friendly place to be! My daughter (age 5) and I loved swimming with the dolphins. We were only about 15 yards away from them in the water right out on your private beach. Where else can you do that right in your own back yard?! J Great job on providing all the necessities, you have done a fabulous job! The weather was perfect all week, now back to California for the cold. Thanks!” ~ J. De La Ossa, E. Drake, California
"Sandy, Just got back from our vacation at South Padre Island. We really enjoyed the condo. The location was perfect. It was in clean condition and we were grateful there was a laundry in the building. ~ A. Vega
"Sandy, Just to let you know that we had a wonderful time at Lovers Key. The condo and the whole complex was excellent, very well kept up and clean. The beach was wonderful. We took several walks all the way to the point. Wish that I had brought my fishing pole. We did however play golf twice at the Nearby golf club. Thanks again, we have been burnt several times on condos rented sight unseen, but yours was great. ~ Jim & Bev Rochester NY.
"Dear Sandy; Thank you for letting us use your apartment during our vacation. We had a very relaxing and enjoyable time. The views are beautiful! We are very impressed with the comfort of the apartment (enjoyed the little details like the books, games, etc) and the viewing of the dolphins every afternoon. Hope we can come back soon. Again, thank you so much!" ~ M. Morejon, Florida
"Sandy, Just wanted to let you know we enjoyed our stay at the Mayan Sea Garden (in Mazatlan). The grounds were beautiful the staff very courteous the beach great. we saw dolphins frolicking right off the beach 3 times and the weather was perfect. The bus connections were great and reasonable....The place was very clean even the beach bathroom. We also enjoyed the convenience of having the market right in the resort. Thank you so much ~ S. Smith-Fletcher
"Sandy, After a week here we are so relaxed and content, we don't want to go home! You have made this unit feel just like a welcoming home and it was so clean, too!! We're very glad we found your condo site, especially when we realized the 'true' locations of some of our other options! Yours was exactly what we were looking for, being right on Lovers' Key State Park. Every morning we went for 2-4 hour walks and snorkel/swims way down in the park. The wildlife was fantastic! Saw dolphins every day - usually a.m. and p.m. Loads of Osprey and different Egrets, crabs, lots of fish, sand dollars down at the sandbar/point. It was wonderful to have a full kitchen and bring groceries for breakfast and lunches here! And leftovers from the wonderful dinners out! We went out on the Big 'M' Casino boat Friday pm, dinner buffet was pretty good. For a $10 cruise we saw a most gorgeous sunset over the open ocean, lots of dolphins and fish jumping, load of birds, and a little try at slots. We mostly enjoyed just being out on the bridge deck, watching the world go by for about five hours (and the stars come out). This was best $10 we spent the entire trip - take your camera! This was our one year anniversary and honeymoon and we are so pleased to share your home! Thank you! We are in love with the area and future vacations are already in the works. We look forward to staying here again. See you in a year or two! P.S. We left a mask and snorkel for future guests - don't forget to look under the water, too! ~ Ken and Christine, Ann Harbor, MI
"Dear Sandy, We had a lot of fun at your condo. The 'sealife' and wildlife was great. We saw TONS of dolphins every day. One of our nights here there were starfish everywhere! Our kids thought it was great. They loved the pool! Everyone here was very nice and enjoyable to talk with. We will definitely return. Your condo was was cozy and very clean. Thanks for the wonderful rental and we'll see you in the future. Thanks, Sandy! P.S. If you go down to the State Park, watch the water - Manatees! They look like rocks at first! ~ C. & T. Guenther and boys, Wisonsin.
"Hi Sandy, We just returned from our mini vacation (on South Padre Island). Your condo is great! We really enjoyed it. I love the way you decorated the condo. We hope to make it a yearly event. Thanks. ~ Armando

I wanted to thank you and you will probably be hearing from us again in the future to request another stay. Have a great summer. Thanks again." ~ Irina, New Jersey
We had a great time in Fort Myers. We spent a lot of time at the pool and beach, baking in the sun. We took a day to go to the Everglades - well worth the trip! The condo is in a great location - close enough to enjoy the activities in Fort Myers, yet away from the traffic and crowds. Lover's Key State Park is beautiful and I wish we had time to go back there a few more times. Thanks for the use of your condo! ~ S. & V. Crawford, Indiana
"Sandy, I just wanted to send a message to say that I absolutely enjoyed my stay at your condo in Ft. Myers, FL The location was beautiful and very quiet. I had a great week there. The room was very clean and well equipped. I was also amazed with all of the land and marine wildlife that I saw while there. The (outdoor) condo kitty was a sweetie; as well as the friendly squirrel who hangs out around there. The shelling on the point at Lover's Key State Park was awesome. I found lots of neat treasures! I will definitely recommend your place to others who may be interested! Thanks again!" ~ L. Sparks, Indiana
"Hi Sandy! Well, after weeks of wedding planning and hectic work schedules, this was exactly what we needed for a honeymoon! The condo is absolutely lovely and had everything we needed.

We ventured out and visited Red Sox Stadium, the Nature Preserve and Everglades Garden in Naples, and the State Park. We also went out to dinner at a fabulous restaurant... the food was amazing. All in all we had a wonderful time and hope to be back again someday. Thanks for everything! :) ~ J. & H. Parry, Boston MA

"Sandy, We've had a great time... It's been very peaceful and quiet here and the amenities are great. There is lots of marine and land wildlife to enjoy here. We've seen lizards, frogs, squirrels, birds, etc. Today, I found several hermit crabs, saw a school of dolphins, watched a manta ray swim by, found a sand dollar, and have thoroughly enjoyed it all! The point of Lover's Key State Park is excellent for shelling once the tide goes out. We found several colorful and larger shells. The pool here is great and the perfect temperature. The lanai is an excellent place to relax as well. Thank you for sharing your piece of paradise with us - we have certainly enjoyed it! ~ L. Sparks, Indiana

"Dear Sandy, Thanks for the opportunity to have this beautiful vacation. The weather has been 90 degrees all week and nothing but sun... The sunrise is as beautiful as the sunset and saw it every morning (What a site!). We then went for long walks on the beach.

Everyone on the complex has been so friendly and we look forward to coming back someday. Thanks for everything! ~ Ken and Christine, England
"We enjoyed the condo and the beautiful beaches! Great location to restaurants and shopping, beaches and nightlife. We spent our time at the beach mainly... went to Busch Gardens, went shopping in Naples and relaxed at the pool Busch Gardens was worth the drive from here... we loved the roller coaster! We found the college to have great bands at night. Fort Myers has great putt-putt golf courses - especially Smuggler's Cove. We also rented a pontoon! Thanks for letting us stay here! ~ Jennifer and Dennis
"Dear Sandy, We had a terrific honeymoon here in Ft Myers Beach, FL!!! For your next visitors, we'll offer some feedback on the area: GREAT BEACHES: Lover's Key, Barefoot Beach - Tortoise habitat - you can see many of these non-sea creatures munching on grass by the road. Beach right out your door and walk to the point. Lots of great shells and a variety of sea life. We saw a manatee off the point, a dinner plate sized stingray, lots of various birds, and crabs. We found live conchs and sand dollars - put both back in the water. But we did find three dead sand dollars - whole. We spent the $ for the RT Key West Xpress - it was a blast. We road a huge boat down to Key West. About a 3 1/2 hour trip each way. Very worth it. We went to the Winery - it was a fun drive & the owner was very imformative (of course). Love the area and the food. Please wear at least a 15 SPF sunblock and reapply throughout the day. We spent multiple days on the beach during prime time and didn't get burnt. Smuggler's Cove golf was fun. And go see the largest Banyun tree at the Edison/Ford Winter home. We'll be back! ~ Terri and Clyde, Minneapolis

Grateful for the beach chairs and umbrella, as we visited Lover’s Key, Barefoot Beach and Wiggins Pass. …We went to the Corkscrew Sanctuary where we saw a snake, raccoon and a deer which conveniently stood still while we took it’s picture. A very enjoyable day. We used the trolley twice…very handy being able to catch it here. We have seen lots of sunsets and will remember them when we are back home in the cold weather. Merry Christmas.” ~ M. Barres, Gloucester, England

“Sandy, thank you for letting us stay in such a great place! It was so relaxing to be able to wake up to the ocean. We spotted many dolphins …went shopping many places… thanks for a great time!” ~ J & G. Knott, Minnesota
“Thank you so much for letting us girls stay the week at your condo! We had such a blast!! On Thursday (we) rented a pontoon boat, it was so much fun and we saw LOTS of dolphins! It was awesome; we stopped the boat and about 5 or 6 dolphins (and a baby one!) swam around the boat. A few times they were only about 10 feet away. We got a ton of pictures J. We got really tan hanging out at the beach and lots of souvenirs shopping downtown. We found cool shells, starfish and crabs at the beach, too! We also had a blast picking coconuts from the landscaping. I also went parasailing on Friday and it was awesome! I was so scared but it was so worth it! We loved staying at this part of Fort Myers Beach. We were far enough away from the other spring breakers and business, but close enough to everything to be part of the action. Thank you for everything and for making our spring break a great one. J” ~ J. Wayland, Michigan
“Thank you so much for letting us rent this condo! It has wonderful amenities and in a great location! We enjoyed our stay and wouldn’t hesitate telling others to come here! Thanks again!” ~ N. Feemster, Alabama
“We enjoyed our stay here. You have it decorated so nice. We had some great weather… went to Happy Hour which was fun. And we had some fantastic meals on the grill. Maybe we can visit again in the future.” ~ S. Denda, Michigan
"Hi Sandy, ...We really enjoyed your condos they were great. We really enjoyed walking the beach every day. We may be considering coming back next year and their may be another couple, so we would need to rent 3 condos. We also would be interested in some more info and some pictures of the condos in Mexico. Thanks ~ Lillian Janusz
Sandy - we loved the condo and the location and all THe pool was great and everybody we met was very helpful and friendly. ... we really liked it and we did relax ---and thank you very much
“Enjoyed our stay at your condo. Beach and pool oh so pleasant and convenient. Rented a pontoon boat only a few steps from our door…. The location and the building rate a 10. We had a wonderful vacation! Would not hesitate to rent your condo again.” ~ J. Randall, Illinois
“Sandy, We had such a wonderful time here in Fort Myers. Thank you so much for the use of your condo. Some of the highlights from our trip: Renting a pontoon boat from a local Marina – we saw tons of dolphins and manatee. … We found starfish and sand dollars in the water…. Very neat. We went to Captiva… and downtown Naples. The weather was perfect for us – we hate to leave, but we’ll be back soon. Thank you again.” ~ P. Wiersman, Michigan
“We loved our stay here. It was extremely clean. So clean my brother ran into the doors going outside… thinking it was open. It was awesome – thanks for letting us stay here!” ~ L. Garritano, Georgia
“Hi Sandy, We had a great time here this week. It is very quiet and peaceful! My kids LOVED the pool. Thanks for a wonderful place to vacation. The umbrella was great. Take care!” ~ J. Garritano, Goergia
“Sandy, thanks for allowing us to share in your condo….We were here two years ago and loved it. We were pleased to find we were able to stay here again. Your place is great and has all the wonderful things that help us make our vacation relaxing. We have a three year old and it is so nice to wake up and just go outside to the beach. Lunch time comes and you just go upstairs to cook and have ‘nap time’. Wake up from that and repeat the process. We found many sand dollars. We are forced to leave tomorrow….we are saddened…Thank you again for the wonderful time. Thanks again.” ~ C. Greener, Colorado
“Tonya and I have enjoyed our stay very much. The beach area was very nice as was the pool. The view was gorgeous at night fall. We enjoyed walking down the beach and had fun shell hunting. My son’s baseball team is staying just down the road…. We have taken some nice pictures here at the condo and we were able to get ‘Lover’s Key’ T-shirts at the state park. Weather has been gorgeous. We do not want to leave, but all good things come to an end. Maybe next year. Thanks.” ~ T. Dickerson, Indiana
“Sandy, Thank you so much for sharing your little piece of Paradise with us. We love it here and hope to return on a regular basis. We enjoyed the area and the people. The people here are very nice and extremely helpful. The condo was clean and so was everything else in the building. It was a nice, quiet week here for us and the weather was wonderful. God Bless and Many Thanks.” ~ B. Smith, Indiana
“Dear Sandy, We had a wonderful time this week…. Beautiful weather. Lots of good places to eat. Lover’s Key was wonderful to walk on and swim – pool was also a favorite place. Thanks so much – will call you next year. Sincerely.” ~ N. Sears, Conneticut
“Hi Sandy, Thanks for letting us use your condo. Everything was so new, clean and fresh. We played golf, ate out and went shelling. Barb also took us for a boat ride. Thanks again, you have a lovely place. P.S. Thanks for having coffee in the cubboard!” ~ E. Adkins, Illinois
“Thank you so much for the condo. It was very pleasant and relaxing. I was very impressed with my first impression of the place. It was very clean and orderly. We enjoyed that it was off the main strip; that kept it quiet. … it made it feel homey. We will definitely keep you in mind the next time we plan on coming down to Florida. Thanks again.” ~ Eric and Becky, Ohio
“Dear Sandy, Al and I had a delightful stay in your condo. We enjoyed the quiet here compared to the rest of the beach. We kayaked and rode bikes in the state park. Also, walked on the beach and spent time at the pool. We had some great fish dinners. The condo had everything we needed. Especially appreciated the beach towels and chairs. Thanks.” ~ C. Symanski, Illinois
“This was our first time renting a condo – everything was just as you advertised. I’m sure we’ll be back.” ~ P. Minesing, Ontario, Canada

"Sandy, we have had a great time here in South Padre. Thanks for helping us make it happen. The condo is great, the location is perfect with an awesome view of the ocean. Thanks again Sandy, I will definitely recommend this place to my friends and I hope we can come back in the future and stay here again. Thanks so much!!!!" ~ Marco, Texas
"What a lovely area. We had a lovely time all week. We hung around Lover’s Key Beach and saw lots of dolphins – very close to shore. We spent some days fishing and also visited Naples on two days. The highlight was while fishing (right on Lover’s Key Beach) we saw two manatees… they were swimming five feet from us in the ocean. Our eight month old son had so much fun and it was a joy to watch him experience so many exciting sites for the first time. The birds were lovely….everything was great and we will be back!!! J Thanks for everything.” ~ D. Lust, Ohio
“Hi Sandy, What a terrific condo you have here! This is our first experience renting a condo and we both were pleased with the area, the amenities, and your excellent communication via email throughout the process. This unit is very well equipped – complete with beach chairs that we took to Lover’s Key State Park. What a lovely beach over there – we walked endlessly looking for shells and watching all the (successful) fisherman. Thank you for sharing your condo.” ~ M. Roach, Maine
“Hi Sandy, We had a great time! We’ve been to Florida three times and this has been the best place to stay so far. We loved the beach! It’s quiet, yet right in the middle of everything. We had great weather… but they got 8 inches of snow back home. Had a nice outing on the ocean on the “Big M Casino” and we don’t gamble. The ride and food were cheap and the top lounge deck wasn’t crowded. We also enjoyed the hot tub every night. We hope to be back!” ~ Peterson & Turner, Minnesota
"Hi Sandy, We had a great time in Ft. Myers. Thank you so much for allowing us to stay at your condo. It was perfect and is in a great location. ...The weather was great and we were able to do lots of sunbathing. Thanks again for everything." ~ K. Blume, Virginia
"Hi Sandy, I know it's been at least a month since we stayed in your condo (that's too much time in the cold as you know) but I just wanted to tell you how much we liked it. It was absolutely beautiful. The pictures of the view on the website don't in any way show the true beauty. It was great. The beach, fishing, view, pool, condo, it was all great. Thanks." ~ Eve Hardin
"You have a very nice apartment here - well equipped and with great views" ~ Carole, Liverpool, England.
"Sandy, I have to tell you that I had a wonderful time staying in Ft. Myers. I am no longer in a relationship with the young lady that accompanied me on the vacation but I can tell you she had a wonderful time as well. I will most certainly keep you in mind when I travel back to Florida, and I will go back to Florida, I love it. Thanks." ~ Tom Solinger
"Your condo was fantastic - more than we dreamed. We will use it again I am sure and will spread the word!!" ~ Dede Hurson
"Hi Sandy, We returned from South Padre Island yesterday and I just wanted to give you some feedback. The apartment was great, wonderful view of the Gulf and the property is very well maintained and managed. Having extra beach towels was perfect, I didn't expect those in a condo. Nice touch. Kitchen had everything we needed... We had a wonderful time and will definitely recommend you to our family and friends" ~ Gaby Perez
"The condo was excellent, the staff there really keeps the grounds and building looking good" ~ Robert
"Hello Sandy, Thank you for sharing your home in Lover's Key. Ron and I had the BEST vacation we've had in years! We appreciate everything you did for us allowing us to rest, relax, walk and soak up the sun. We weere very impressed with the area and your condo provided all the comforts of home. We certainly found 'our little piece of heaven'. Thank you Sandy. I'm sure our paths will cross again." ~ J. Valeriote, Ontario, Canada
"Thank you for renting to me and my friends. We had a great time and loved the condo. You did a great job remodeling the place. When we were swimming on the private beach we saw lots of dolphins. Thanks again." ~ Tara, Ohio
"Dear Sandy, The condo was everything you said it would be. My wife and I had a wonderful time. I would have been happy just sitting on the balcony every day, but the whole area was just as wonderful. From the first day we saw the dolphins from the balcony and each day after that. My wife kept repeating each day 'I could live here'. Lovers Key Beach and Park must be seen by anybody that stays there. We saw more dolphins in the channel of the park as well as gopher turtles and other wildlife. This was the first time we had tried staying in a condo rather than a hotel. It was much more comfortable and it felt like being in your own home. Thank you so very much and hope to be back soon." ~ Dave & Kitty, Wisconsin
"Hi Sandy, What a great condo. We had an excellent time at South Padre Island and port Isabel. Everyone was very friendly. The views from your condo are outstanding. I will send some photos when I have time. I will definitely come again." ~ Lisa
"The view was wonderful over the gulf and bay, we watched the sun come up over the Gulf in the morning and sunset over the bay at night from two different balconies. We enjoyed the hot tub and pool and long walks on the beach and throughout the island. Great places to eat wtih the best shrimp in the world. I would recommend this area to anyone who wants to be on the water but get away from traffic and crowds and feel safe anytime of the day. We will certainly vacation here again".
"Hi Sandy, Jeff & Elaine Veloza, from your condo unit 108 visit from Nov 3, 2007 to Nov 30, 2007. Our Home Away from Home! We truly felt at home in your condo. Your decor is similar to the decor we have in our home in Wesport, MA. The kitchen, berber rug in the living room, shell comforter in bedroom, palm trees in bath. Unbelievable. We had such a grand time. Folks at your condo were so nice. The beach was magnificent. We were very content in your condo unit. When we arrived at Lovers Key, it didn't take us long to get familiar with the area. You have an abundance of information on things to do, places to see and restaurants in the area. Your directions from the airport to the condo were so helpful to us. Straight on, no problem. We did spend a lot of time at the beach and on the balcony with the magnificent sunsets overlooking the water and bridge. We did see dolphins, many many species of fish. We took walks to Lovers Key Park which we enjoyed so much. There was so much to see. We rescued a seagull with the help of some kind neighbors in the complex and we truly enjoyed every aspect of our holiday. THANK YOU for sharing a part of your Lovers Key Beach Club Condo. We truly loved your home and would look forward to returning next year to Lovers Key Beach Club. You have a warm and welcoming home. Thanks again" ~ Jeff & Elaine
"Dear Sandy, Wanted to let you now how much we enjoyed our stay this past week in Padre. Your website depicted exactly what we saw. The weather was perfect. The beach and water temperature were perfect. And best of all, NO CROWDS! It felt like the island was deserted... we sure enjoyed ourselves... We went on a Sunset Cruise on a Catamaran which served us grilled shrimp and fajitas. Very nice. The condo was very comfortable and we absolutely loved the view! Both of these images were shot from the balcony.... We will happily tell anyone who will listen, how great a time we had in your condo on Padre. Sincerely," ~ Dia and John Bigler
"Hi Sandy... I appreciate the refund you sent and the timely manner in which it was transferred to us. Russ and I and the girls loved it. Being so close to the beach by walking out the back door was wonderful. The beach is clean, too...The washer and driers were also convenient downstairs and the staff keep it clean, which is nice. Thanks for even thinking of extra blankets! Wow. Our oldest is leaving us next month for boot camp in Great Lakes, IL. This was a nice way to share time with her before she leaves us. Thanks again. Next time, I'd like to try your other unit. I think I'd like to sit in bed, read my bible and look out at the ocean view. Love in Christ," ~ Elizabeth Bremer
Sandy, Had a wonderful time here. The condo is very cozy and comfortable. We loved walking the beach and hiking in the park. We saw manatee, dolphin , gopher turtle, eagle and an armadillo! We took advantage of the grills downstairs and grilled/ate some wonderful local seafood. Took in the beautiful sunsets and lounged in the hot tub. It was a very relaxing week in a laid back environment. We loved it! ~ Chris and Kelly
Dear Sandy, This place is beautiful! We have been coming to this area the past 16 years. The view is priceless. The accommodations were great. We loved being able to cook in or eat out. The walks on the beach were terrific. My husband fished and I shelled. Seeing the dolphins, the beautiful flowers, the birds… was what I needed to relax and enjoy our vacation. We will like to come again as long as you will have us. ~ Brian and Jackie
Dear Sandy, It was the best time we have ever had!! We have you to thank for that. This is definitely where we are staying every time we come. Next time we are hoping to bring the grandkids – they will have a blast!! It was a pleasure getting to meet you and your sisters, it’s just too bad we never got together for drinks or dinner. Maybe there will be a next time for us. Thanks again for everything. Especially for the use of your other unit for out last day. You are a life saver. Thank you and we will be talking to you again. ~ Dawn and Bill, MN
Hi Sandy, We enjoyed our stay as usual. We have stayed here the last 4 or 5 years. Our kids love this area and we enjoy how peaceful it is. ~ Candy and Troy G. and boys, Wisconsin
Dear Sandy, … We feel very blessed to have found this beautiful place, a place for rest, for healing and a place for love. We both want to thank you for giving us the opportunity to stay here. We found everything in such good taste, clean, and everything we needed making us feel at home. This without a doubt is the best vacation we’ve had in a long time and perfect as far as what we both needed. We hope to be able to come back soon. Thank you again. ~ Bernie and Paula, Miami
Sunny…beautiful… these words describe Sandy’s Beachfront Condo when we arrived. Tracey and I realize we are going into a typical snowy winter. That’s why we always come in October. The remodel is great – very well done! It is no mystery to Tracey and I why we have visited your condo every year for the past 6-7 years. We will continue to do so (until we can finally buy our own)! Thanks! ~ Bud and Tracey, Ohio
Sandy, we enjoyed our stay here once again. We saw many dolphins. This is a very nice condo – love the view from this balcony. We all had fun here once again. ~ Candy and Troy
Sandy, The facilities, the peacefulness, the view, everything has been positive and we are really looking forward to returning. Your decorating is great and we can really tell that you enjoy this space. We are looking forward to seeing your South Padre Island condo online. ~ Norma and B., ILL
Sandy, Thank you for letting us rent your condo. We absolutely loved it. My family and I had a wonderful time and enjoyed our stay here. Once again, thank you. ~ Shawn and Jami W., MI
Sandy, we have stayed in the Fort Myers Beach/Bonita Springs area several times, but the view from this condo is definitely our favorite. There is always something to watch and enjoy. Steve spent every morning fishing along the beach and we both walked the beach daily. The condo is well stocked so we could eat here as well as enjoy some of the local restaurants. We enjoyed golf, miniature golf, and the Broadway Palms dinner theater in Fort Myers. ~ Steve and Diane, MI.
Sandy, the Lindstroms all enjoyed units #108 and #1105. The children (little ones) loved the baskets and shovels and the “tween-ers” used the pool every day and patrolled the beach daily for conchs and sand dollars – very successfully. The shelling on Lover’s Key Beach (go beyond the point) is exceptional. We went kayaking in the state park. Grandma and Anna went in circles and then ended up being the most fit and in shape of all. We went to the Naples zoo, the California Pizza Kitchen, shopping (of course!) and back to the beach! …. The trolley is by far the best way to go to Times Square. Hoardes of people and the occasional entertainer. … Our trip to the Everglades was fun – airboats at Captain Dougs, a manatee, a raccoon, and Thurs into the Cypress National Preserve to view many things – alligators, turtles, fish, birds and hot tourists. Take water everywhere! The Twins lost to Baltimore…but the children enjoyed getting Meir autographs and pictures with the friendly Twins players. At the end of the day we took our books to the beach or pool to rest up for the next adventure. No one wants to go home! The condos are comfortable and well-equipped. The knives are sharp! The grills work! The Lindstroms are all from Minnesota…
Hi Sandy! We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay! The condo is lovely, with great views; private beach, the list goes on. This is certainly the place to go for R & R. We visited the state park, went shelling, rented a pontoon from Big Hickory Marine, and watched the dolphins swim close by. We would recommend this. Well worth the money. Even did a little fishing. We took in two Twins games. Had a great time at Hammond stadium. The weather was beautiful. Couldn’t have asked for anything more. Can’t way enough good things about your condo, Sandy. The location is great! Very quiet. We knew we could always come back to relax after a busy day. The hot tub and pool were nice too. We appreciated the gated area. This was our first experience renting a condo, and would do it again – we absolutely loved it! We will definitely be back! Thanks again, Sandy! ~ Dean and Geralyn, MN
Sandy: Reading all the previous comments there’s not much else to say. This is our 9th annual vacation to this area…. It is a pleasure to be back here again. The condo is perfect, just right size for my wife and I. She has recovered from a bout with cancer this past year and has now recovered so this was just what she needed before heading back to work next week. The weather has been beautiful and the local seafood the best! We BBQ’d one night and ate out the rest. For others to follow, I wish a wonderful vacation, this is truly a piece of paradise – enjoy!! ~ Greg and Deb M, Ontario
Your lovely condo, sugar white beach, free trolley rides, great weather, some really nice people, complimentary grilling, and so much to do from Naples to Captiva are the recipe for a great week! We’re so glad we came. ~ Bryan and Andrea Kennedy
Dear Sandy, thank you for the opportunity of letting us stay in your condo on such short notice. We saw dolphins twice these days! We are sure to be back some day!! ~ C & J, Frankfurt, Germany
Dear Sandy, Thanks for the opportunity (on such short notice) to have this beautiful vacation. The weather has been 90’ all week and nothing but sun…. the sun rise is as beautiful as the sunset. I saw it every morning (what a site!) We then went for long walks on the beach. I always wanted a place on the beach… In June we celebrate our 49th anniversary. Maybe next year for our 50th we’ll be able to return. The condo was everything I thought it would be. Thanks again…. ~ S. & B. Miller, PA
Dear Sandy, Thank you for letting us use your apartment during our vacation. We had a very relaxing and enjoyable time. The views are beautiful! We are very impressed with the comfort of the apartment (enjoyed the little details like books, games, etc) and the viewing of the dolphins every afternoon. Hope we come back soon. Again, thank you so much. ~ Miriam y Maria
Dear Sandy, Thank you so much for renting to me and my friends. We had a great time and loved the condo. You did a great job remodeling the place. When we were swimming on the private beach we saw lots of dolphins. We also saw lots of tiny crabs. My friend and I even saved one… thanks again. ~ Tara and friend, OH
You have a very nice apartment here. Well equipped and with great views. Not many people around this time of year. Back in the U.K. this is peak holiday time…. We are off to Miami now then sightseeing for four days in New York. Thanks Sandy. ~ Carol and Bobby, Liverpool, England
We have been searching for the ideal place to stay. I think we have found it. The condo is clean and modern. Love being so close to the state park… We had a wonderful time. ~ Jim and Julie, Alabama
Sandy – we enjoyed our stay at your condo! We loved waking up and taking an hour walk down the beach. The shells were great and so were the dolphins. It was amazing to see so many of them. The food was great – especially the fried grouper sandwhiches at the ‘Beached Whale’. You have a nice place…
Sandy, Our stay has been wonderful. Our 4 year old has already asked to come back again. This was by far one of our most relaxing vacations. The weather has been great – high 70’s to 80’s. We loved the pool. Lover’s Key beach was great too! We brought a picnic lunch a couple of times. Thank you so much for letting us stay! * Thanks for the pool toys – perfect for the boys. ~ Jay, Melissa, Cal and Abe. Chicago.
Sandy, thanks for letting us use your condo! It’s been a great, relaxing week (much needed after a long year of wedding planning). The highlight of the trip was definitely the waverunner dolphin tour we took – we had two dolphins within three feet of our waverunner. J To be honest, though, we had just as much fun relaxing here at the beach and the pool as we did doing anything else. Thanks again for helping us have a great honeymoon! ~ Steve and Amanda, Kansas City, MO
Sandy, Thank you for letting us rent your condo. It is very beautiful and very clean. We enjoyed many things like fishing, walking on the beach, the hot tub and pool, and the peace and quiet. The other people in the condo building are very nice and helpful. Cory fell in love with the area and has asked to move here. Thanks. ~ Kurt, LuAnn, Heather and Cory, MN
Dear Sandy; I can’t believe our month is nearly over. We so enjoyed your wee piece of heaven at Lover’s Key #108. Watching sun rise and set every day was breathtaking! So enjoyed the lanai Just staying here walking every day to the end of the Park beach and back. Wonderful!!! Of the many things we did, our favorite thing was just laying on the beach with all our new friends. We barbequed every 2nd day and just loved being right here. Weather was perfect… loved eating on the lanai. Would certainly come again sometime. Thanks for everything. Heard some very nice comments about you Sandy. All great! Thanks! ~ Jim and Viv, Canada
Dear Sandy; Our stay here has been wonderful. The weather was fantastic for the whole week. We’re sure we’ll be back. Maybe next year. And we want to take this weather with us to Chicago! Thank you so much for letting us stay here. ~ K., K., P., and K., Chicago
Dear Sandy, We’ve really enjoyed our two weeks here… low 80’s every day. Beautiful! Our biggest decision was should we go to the beach or the pool? We ended up doing both! We rented a boat one day at ‘Salty Sams’ and went out into the Gulf and Sanibel Island and through some of the back bays. Had a wonderful day! You have certainly thought of everything here for comfort… We would certainly like to return! This is paradise! ~ T & L, Sault St. Marie, Ontario
Dear Sandy, We enjoyed your condo very much! It was such a beautiful week. Myself and my family had a great time. We mostly enjoyed the beach. Thank you for sharing your condo with us. ~ The Thompson family.
Dear Sandy, Just wanted to let you know that we had a great time and loved staying here. The condo was great. The people were very nice and helpful. Shelling was also very good. Look forward to staying here again. Weather was perfect. 80’s and sunny all week. Thanks again. ~ Larry and Barb

It was a short but sweet little vacation. I liked the condo and the beach. My favorite restaurant was the Italian restaurant. I love your condo it is so pretty. We played at the pool and at the beach! We built sand castles too! Me and my Dad played in the waves. I love the condo. It is nice. My favorite part was the pool and the beach.

We had a wonderful stay in #707. The view is tremendous. The beach was great... the kids loved the waterpark! My favorite part was the beach and the condo. The condo was really nice. That’s really good coming from me since I am a Marriott time share owner. I’ve gotten ‘spoiled’…
The drive down from Dallas took longer than we expected, but this is our first vacation since 1997. The condo is beautiful and the view is like a scene from a movie. We enjoyed the turtle exhibit, dolphin watch, and the fireworks. The days on the beach or at the pool. We had lived in south Texas for six years and we wish we would have visited the island more back then. Today is our last day at the island. It has come too quickly. I live to see it again soon… Thank you for letting us rent this wonderful condo… we just loved being here! Thank you again! ~ The York family
My family vacation! We went all the way from San Antonio to celebrate my nana’s birthday. We went with my dad, mom, nana and me. We love our condo! My dad’s favorite part was the beach. My mom’s favorite part was the views that she saw. My nana’s favorite part was playing on the beach with her granddaughter. And my favorite part was picking up seashells. From ~ Ruth, Clayton, Mary and Ariana. P.S. We would like to come here again. Love, Ariana
My daughter was right… We had a great long over-due weekend get-a-way! The views were great and the condo was perfect! Enjoyed the boutiques and beach shops. Our family will return and stay again… everyone deserves a moment to relax and get away. ~ Mary

We really enjoyed the condo and our trip to South Padre. Having never been here we were pleased with the great views and wonderful location. Thank you so much for sharing your condo and letting us stay. The place is wonderful and met our needs perfectly. Thank you, ~ Fullers

" Decided to take the kids to the beach before school and after countless hours of being rejected because we couldn't stay 3 nights, we found Sandy's Beachfront Condos. I booked, paid for my trip, and got all my check in docs within 3 days. I had very timely (sometimes at 1/2am in the morning responses to my questions. Multiple payment options, and I was allowed to check out late on Sunday. The views you see on the trip advisor and on their website are EXACTLY what you will be seeing. It's absolutely breathtaking if it's your first time staying beach side. The pool was wonderful going up to 8 feet. I saw people using the grills outside and taking advantage of the amenities. I found a 24 hour CVS and cooked each night since I had the kids, but I did drive around and there are restaurants/bars that service music late at night with music. HEB, Walmart, and red boxes are about 15 minutes away (across the bridge) and it's a lovely ride. Having two full bathrooms was really nice and we weren't on top of each other. The Beach is amazing. You can rent chairs and umbrella for $30 a day. Or the condo is a 1 minute walk (just down the walk way) so you can go to the water and right back to the condo. I was also able to see a beach side wedding! Loved it! The owner is very accommodating so if you're looking for no hassles, quick turn around times, and a place with perfect access to the beach and the views. This is the spot!! Thank you," Rasheeda James
"We are a senior Canadian couple. We rented Sandy's Aquarius for February 2014 and loved it! The condo had just been remodeled, and it is lovely! Views from the two decks are incredible! Sandy's manager handled our phone problems very quickly. The Aquarius staff are very helpful and friendly. The other renters at Aquarius are long time repeaters and are very friendly, to include you. Loved S.P.I. and our February stay! Thanks Sandy and Susan, God willing we hope to return next winter." Heather and Buck from Virden, Manitoba, Canada
"Dear Sandy, We had a wonderful, wonderful vacation. We loved your condo. Everything we needed was here and more. Our favorite place was on your balcony. The view is beautiful and interesting. There always was a nice breeze. Steve spent hours sitting out there. We saw dolphins and watched a bird family. Talked to the neighbors walking below. We enjoyed the beach... and the sunsets. Really enjoyed eating at Flippers on the island - beautiful view and very good food. Spent a day at Lover's Key State Park - had the tram ride then stayed on the beach and also fished off the a pier. Had a lovely day at Sanibel and Captiva. Went to Naples for a day. Was glad to get back to 'our' condo where it was peaceful and beautiful. I loved the jacuzzi. The first time I used it I thought I went to heaven. Enjoyed the pool - nice and warm. Went to the flea-market - what a lot of stuff. Spent a couple of hours there and didn't even get to all of the vendors. Picked up some gifts. We were here for 10 days and every day was sunny and warm. Just perfect. Loved the king size bed. This was one of the best vacations we have had. Your condo and the area is just so beautiful. Hopefully we will be able to return next year. Thanks!" ~ S. & S. Wallace, Mass.
"I love the location of the condos on South Padre Island, and Sandy is great to work with" ~ Brenda H, Texas
"Hello Sandy, ... I wanted to take a minute to thank you for letting us stay in your condo on Lover's Key. We had a wonderful two-week vacation. I have to say that your apartment and the facilities at Lover's Key were excellent. Everything was as you described - and nice and clean! We appreciated how well you supplied all the "little things" that some forget. ...We enjoyed the hot tub...We even used the beach chairs on a couple of trips over to the State Park. Again, thank you for all your communications and for letting us stay in your condo. We really enjoyed ourselves!" ~ M. Roach, Maine
"Dear Sandy, We would like to thank you for making our vacation such a wonderful experience at Lover's Key. This was the first time we rented a condo. It was exactly as described and in wonderful condition! The view from our balcony was breathtaking. We were welcomed the first morning with dolphins swimming in the bay within our site. We have two small children. Although it mostly was a mature crowd within the condo, everyone was very friendly. We look forward to visiting Florida again. We highly recommend you to anyone looking for a vacation rental. Thanks so much! ~ The Morey Family, Michigan
"Sandy, Thanks so much for the use of your condo. We loved the location. It seems to have the best of everything: beach front, pool, trolley access, state park close by, etc. It's nice being down on the quieter side of Ft. Myers Beach with the option of either driving or taking the trolley up to the north end. It rained one day while we were there, which made the DVD/VHS player very nice to have. Also having the two TV's available to us was great. The size of the condo was perfect for our family of 4. We did see dolphins from our balcony almost every day!! I've already recommended it to one of our friends." ~ F. Page, Minnesota
"I would like people to know that our stay at condo #206 at South Padre Island was just GREAT! The location was perfect, the view made us feel like w were right on water. I was concerned that being on the second floor would be a problem but I was wrong! The view was at eye level so you did not have to strain looking down or up. The parking was convenient not crowded. The grounds around the condo were so nicely manicured. The staff were friendly. The condo was clean, comfortable. The ice machine in the refrigerator did not work which was no big deal we got a bag of ice at a local store which lasted our stay there. Sandy was very good about contacting me back when I had questions about the condo (phone or email). This was our first time at SPI. No regrets - all good memories. We, my mother, sister and I went the first week of June 2009. It was a great time to go the beach was not even crowded. We are hoping to go again next year maybe in May. Would stay at Sandy's condo again. I highly recommend the Aquarius for your next vacation!!!!! ~Bunny from Texas
“Hi Sandy! What a wonderful place! We had so much fun walking on the beach every day, and there were so many dolphins, it was incredible! We gather beautiful seashells and sat by the pool. It was the most relaxing vacatoin we have ever had, and we can't wait to come back. There wer so many places we went to and within such close driving distance. Your condo was perfect, from the amount of space, the locatoin, the view, and I love the granite countertops. You are wonderful to work with and everything went smoothly and as planned. Thank you! ~ Tammy, Minnesota
"Dear Sandy, Thanks for letting us into your home. Tracy and I visit Fort Myers every spring and fall for the last three years. My wife found you on the internet and this condo is unbelievable. Just sitting here on the porch we are watching the dolphins, sea eagles, pelicans and cormorats doing their thing. WOW. Apartment is just right and has everything we need to dissolve into a relaxed vacation. Thanks again Sandy!” ~ B. Luikart, Ohio
"Hi Sandy, Just a note from Mexico to tell you about how much we enjoyed the condo and it's location! It was the nicest place Mike and I have ever been! We really enjoyed the pool and the walks on the beach. Getting around to the sites in Tulum and Cozumel was so easy and there was always another tourist to share a cab fare with if you didn't want to wait for the next bus! We went to the Caved restaurant called Alux and had a great time strolling down 5th Ave at night. I love to cook, so I had a great time in our little kitchenette. Thanks you so much for all your help and patience with us. We would love to bring our boys with us the next time and rent the same sized suite... I know that after staying on the sofa for a night, they won't have any trouble sleeping there themselves. Thanks again, Sandy. We were extremely impressed and will be booking again for next year around the same time. Bye for now. ~ M. & A. Dohy
" Wanted to send you a note regarding our stay at the condo in Ft. Myers Beach.
I can't say enough about the condo, the resort and the surrounding area. Everything was just perfect. The condo was well kept and you could tell by the comments from previous guests in the condo guest book that no one has been disappointed. My wife has been recovering from breast cancer and the effects of the treatments for the last 8 months and is just back to work this week so it was great therapy for her to take those long early morning walks at Lover's Key. I love to watch and listen to the Osprey in their nests and finally found the perfect picture for my office at a shop at Times Square. We hope to visit the area again next year for our 11th year, hopefully the unit will again be available. Thanks again," ~ G. Machan, Ontario"Sandy, we received the damage deposit refund much sooner than expected and thank you so much.
As potential guests read through these comments and as a visitor to the area for 9 years now, I can guarantee each positive comment is correct. The condo is fabulous, the resort is clean and well maintained and very quiet and relaxing. I always tell people before their first trip to Fort Myers Beach, there is as much or as little as you like to do. Fishing, boating, shopping, beaches and eating, it is all there. Can't wait for next year! ~ D. Machan, St. Thomas ON"Hi Sandy, The vacation was great! I was in awe over the colors and deco of the condo! Just what I love. The WHOLE building was SPOTLESS! Your condo was immaculate! We are beach "hoppers' Lovers Key State Park is our favorite Beach there! Thank you for returning our damage deposit so quickly, we really appreciate it since we are venturing on to our north woods vacation tomorrow. Thanks again, you have been a delight Sandy." ~ S. Smyth, Wisconsin
"My family rented Aquarius unit 707 (South Padre Island) at the end of July. It was very clean. We were happy that it had two full baths (which helped when everyone came back from the beach and needed to take showers.) The kitchen was fully stocked with all the utensils, plates, pans—everything needed to create a home cooked meal. We also used the barbeque pit outside to have hamburgers and hotdogs. The beach was right out the front door. ....The unit was meticulous and the view was gorgeous. The beds were so comfortable and there was cable in every room! The main street on South Padre Island was one block away. One night we took a stroll to McDonald’s and stopped to shop at the stores that were open late. Louie’s backyard is four blocks away and my nephew got to ride the roller coaster go carts. I rate our vacation a 10 and as well as our experience at unit 707!" ~ Angelica Vega
“Sandy, We fall in love with SPI.... so undeveloped, peaceful, un-crowded, un-commercial and wild....hard to believe that beaches like this still exist... We had a beautiful time, very relaxing and quiet. I run on the beach every day, we watched the fireworks, and went to Mexico... I really didn't want to leave. Your apartment was pleasant. Fondly," ~ Beata, Texas
"Had a wonderful week – weather perfect, condo very clean and so near to beach. We were impressed with all the extra’s (beach chairs, umbrella) they were very useful. We went to Naples on many occasions, we took the trolley ride and also the boat trip from Tin City. Saw loads of dolphins. We also went on the eco trip to Babcock Ranch, saw loads of alligators. Also highly recommend Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary. We hired bikes at Lover’s Key State Park and also enjoyed mini-golf…. We also found time to relax by the pool. We will be sad to go home to England as it is cold and wet at this time of year, but who knows, we may come back another year. Thanks.” ~ R. Taylor, Ipswich, England
"Sandy, Great time at South Padre Island. We saw live giant turtles, dolphins, a boat trip, fireworks, the lighthouse, the beach and the pool. Everyone was really nice and friendly and the view was fantastic." ~ Sandra, Texas
"Well, I am back and I need to tell you what a wonderful time we had. The condo was so beautiful and tasteful and so very well decorated. It was so nice to wake up is such a beautiful place everyday. I thoroughly enjoyed the pool, jacuzzi, even used the grills, and to see the dolphins every morning was phenomenal!!!!! We took great care of your place and cleaned up very well but I tell you what, we did not want to leave at all!!! ...I can not tell you what a wonderful stay we had!!! Thank you sooo much, I am sure I will be going down again soon and would love to stay there again. I would also love to check out the Mexico vacations in the future. ... I can not thank you enough.!!!!!!! Thanks again," ~ D. VanHarken, New York
“Sandy, What a week! I am so happy we found your condo on the internet. So much was experienced… Saw so much wild life and beautiful sunsets, white beaches, good food, great shopping, and tons of smiles and laughs. Our family will never forget this vacation. Probably my most favorite thing though was every morning sitting on the balcony and enjoying the view as the sun came up, the breeze, birds, dolphins, and mostly the peace of it all. Thank you for opening up your home to us, we hate to leave it.” ~ B. Durreman, Missouri
"Dear Sandy: My girls and I had a wonderful time in FL. We went to 5 beaches, ate seafood, and slept late. Truly the FL experience! I like to walk on the beach and I liked the sand on the beach at your condo the best. Thanks for allowing us to stay at your place. We had a wonderful vacation!" ~ Twilson
"Sandy, Just wanted to let you know that we had a great time at the condo on South Padre this week.
We were there 5 days but it definitely went by way too fast. My daughter and her boyfriend came from college and was able to spend a few days with us. They had a great time too and wished that they had more time to spend. The condo was perfect. We loved the view and the access to the beach. We were so worried about the weather because of all the rain and flooding here in Texas this past week but it didn't rain until we crossed back over the causeway on our way home this morning. Sunshine everyday. The water....was unbelievable. So yes we had a great time. There was some landscaping and work being done around the condo but it didn't bother us. Thanks again....We will definitely check wtih you when we take our next trip. We enjoyed the time we spent in your condo. Just wished we could have stayed longer. My wife loves Florida, too, so we may check on that condo someday. ~ Arthur Cruz
“Thank you so much for sharing your ‘home away from home’ with us. What a relaxing and friendly place to be! My daughter (age 5) and I loved swimming with the dolphins. We were only about 15 yards away from them in the water right out on your private beach. Where else can you do that right in your own back yard?! J Great job on providing all the necessities, you have done a fabulous job! The weather was perfect all week, now back to California for the cold. Thanks!” ~ J. De La Ossa, E. Drake, California
"Sandy, Just got back from our vacation at South Padre Island. We really enjoyed the condo. The location was perfect. It was in clean condition and we were grateful there was a laundry in the building. ~ A. Vega
"Sandy, Just to let you know that we had a wonderful time at Lovers Key. The condo and the whole complex was excellent, very well kept up and clean. The beach was wonderful. We took several walks all the way to the point. Wish that I had brought my fishing pole. We did however play golf twice at the Nearby golf club. Thanks again, we have been burnt several times on condos rented sight unseen, but yours was great. ~ Jim & Bev Rochester NY.
"Dear Sandy; Thank you for letting us use your apartment during our vacation. We had a very relaxing and enjoyable time. The views are beautiful! We are very impressed with the comfort of the apartment (enjoyed the little details like the books, games, etc) and the viewing of the dolphins every afternoon. Hope we can come back soon. Again, thank you so much!" ~ M. Morejon, Florida
"Sandy, Just wanted to let you know we enjoyed our stay at the Mayan Sea Garden (in Mazatlan). The grounds were beautiful the staff very courteous the beach great. we saw dolphins frolicking right off the beach 3 times and the weather was perfect. The bus connections were great and reasonable....The place was very clean even the beach bathroom. We also enjoyed the convenience of having the market right in the resort. Thank you so much ~ S. Smith-Fletcher
"Sandy, After a week here we are so relaxed and content, we don't want to go home! You have made this unit feel just like a welcoming home and it was so clean, too!! We're very glad we found your condo site, especially when we realized the 'true' locations of some of our other options! Yours was exactly what we were looking for, being right on Lovers' Key State Park. Every morning we went for 2-4 hour walks and snorkel/swims way down in the park. The wildlife was fantastic! Saw dolphins every day - usually a.m. and p.m. Loads of Osprey and different Egrets, crabs, lots of fish, sand dollars down at the sandbar/point. It was wonderful to have a full kitchen and bring groceries for breakfast and lunches here! And leftovers from the wonderful dinners out! We went out on the Big 'M' Casino boat Friday pm, dinner buffet was pretty good. For a $10 cruise we saw a most gorgeous sunset over the open ocean, lots of dolphins and fish jumping, load of birds, and a little try at slots. We mostly enjoyed just being out on the bridge deck, watching the world go by for about five hours (and the stars come out). This was best $10 we spent the entire trip - take your camera! This was our one year anniversary and honeymoon and we are so pleased to share your home! Thank you! We are in love with the area and future vacations are already in the works. We look forward to staying here again. See you in a year or two! P.S. We left a mask and snorkel for future guests - don't forget to look under the water, too! ~ Ken and Christine, Ann Harbor, MI
"Dear Sandy, We had a lot of fun at your condo. The 'sealife' and wildlife was great. We saw TONS of dolphins every day. One of our nights here there were starfish everywhere! Our kids thought it was great. They loved the pool! Everyone here was very nice and enjoyable to talk with. We will definitely return. Your condo was was cozy and very clean. Thanks for the wonderful rental and we'll see you in the future. Thanks, Sandy! P.S. If you go down to the State Park, watch the water - Manatees! They look like rocks at first! ~ C. & T. Guenther and boys, Wisonsin.
"Hi Sandy, We just returned from our mini vacation (on South Padre Island). Your condo is great! We really enjoyed it. I love the way you decorated the condo. We hope to make it a yearly event. Thanks. ~ Armando

I wanted to thank you and you will probably be hearing from us again in the future to request another stay. Have a great summer. Thanks again." ~ Irina, New Jersey
We had a great time in Fort Myers. We spent a lot of time at the pool and beach, baking in the sun. We took a day to go to the Everglades - well worth the trip! The condo is in a great location - close enough to enjoy the activities in Fort Myers, yet away from the traffic and crowds. Lover's Key State Park is beautiful and I wish we had time to go back there a few more times. Thanks for the use of your condo! ~ S. & V. Crawford, Indiana
"Sandy, I just wanted to send a message to say that I absolutely enjoyed my stay at your condo in Ft. Myers, FL The location was beautiful and very quiet. I had a great week there. The room was very clean and well equipped. I was also amazed with all of the land and marine wildlife that I saw while there. The (outdoor) condo kitty was a sweetie; as well as the friendly squirrel who hangs out around there. The shelling on the point at Lover's Key State Park was awesome. I found lots of neat treasures! I will definitely recommend your place to others who may be interested! Thanks again!" ~ L. Sparks, Indiana
"Hi Sandy! Well, after weeks of wedding planning and hectic work schedules, this was exactly what we needed for a honeymoon! The condo is absolutely lovely and had everything we needed.

We ventured out and visited Red Sox Stadium, the Nature Preserve and Everglades Garden in Naples, and the State Park. We also went out to dinner at a fabulous restaurant... the food was amazing. All in all we had a wonderful time and hope to be back again someday. Thanks for everything! :) ~ J. & H. Parry, Boston MA

"Sandy, We've had a great time... It's been very peaceful and quiet here and the amenities are great. There is lots of marine and land wildlife to enjoy here. We've seen lizards, frogs, squirrels, birds, etc. Today, I found several hermit crabs, saw a school of dolphins, watched a manta ray swim by, found a sand dollar, and have thoroughly enjoyed it all! The point of Lover's Key State Park is excellent for shelling once the tide goes out. We found several colorful and larger shells. The pool here is great and the perfect temperature. The lanai is an excellent place to relax as well. Thank you for sharing your piece of paradise with us - we have certainly enjoyed it! ~ L. Sparks, Indiana

"We enjoyed the condo and the beautiful beaches! Great location to restaurants and shopping, beaches and nightlife. We spent our time at the beach mainly... went to Busch Gardens, went shopping in Naples and relaxed at the pool Busch Gardens was worth the drive from here... we loved the roller coaster! We found the college to have great bands at night. Fort Myers has great putt-putt golf courses - especially Smuggler's Cove. We also rented a pontoon! Thanks for letting us stay here! ~ Jennifer and Dennis
"Dear Sandy, We had a terrific honeymoon here in Ft Myers Beach, FL!!! For your next visitors, we'll offer some feedback on the area: GREAT BEACHES: Lover's Key, Barefoot Beach - Tortoise habitat - you can see many of these non-sea creatures munching on grass by the road. Beach right out your door and walk to the point. Lots of great shells and a variety of sea life. We saw a manatee off the point, a dinner plate sized stingray, lots of various birds, and crabs. We found live conchs and sand dollars - put both back in the water. But we did find three dead sand dollars - whole. We spent the $ for the RT Key West Xpress - it was a blast. We road a huge boat down to Key West. About a 3 1/2 hour trip each way. Very worth it. We went to the Winery - it was a fun drive & the owner was very imformative (of course). Love the area and the food. Please wear at least a 15 SPF sunblock and reapply throughout the day. We spent multiple days on the beach during prime time and didn't get burnt. Smuggler's Cove golf was fun. And go see the largest Banyun tree at the Edison/Ford Winter home. We'll be back! ~ Terri and Clyde, Minneapolis

Grateful for the beach chairs and umbrella, as we visited Lover’s Key, Barefoot Beach and Wiggins Pass. …We went to the Corkscrew Sanctuary where we saw a snake, raccoon and a deer which conveniently stood still while we took it’s picture.

Merry Christmas.” ~ M. Barres, Gloucester, England

We got really tan hanging out at the beach and lots of souvenirs shopping downtown. We found cool shells, starfish and crabs at the beach, too! We also had a blast picking coconuts from the landscaping. I also went parasailing on Friday and it was awesome! I was so scared but it was so worth it!

Thank you for everything and for making our spring break a great one. J” ~ J. Wayland, Michigan

“Enjoyed our stay at your condo. Beach and pool oh so pleasant and convenient. Rented a pontoon boat only a few steps from our door…. The location and the building rate a 10. We had a wonderful vacation! Would not hesitate to rent your condo again.” ~ J. Randall, Illinois
“Sandy, We had such a wonderful time here in Fort Myers. Thank you so much for the use of your condo. Some of the highlights from our trip: Renting a pontoon boat from a local Marina – we saw tons of dolphins and manatee. … We found starfish and sand dollars in the water…. Very neat. We went to Captiva… and downtown Naples. The weather was perfect for us – we hate to leave, but we’ll be back soon. Thank you again.” ~ P. Wiersman, Michigan
“We loved our stay here. It was extremely clean. So clean my brother ran into the doors going outside… thinking it was open. It was awesome – thanks for letting us stay here!” ~ L. Garritano, Georgia
“Hi Sandy, We had a great time here this week. It is very quiet and peaceful! My kids LOVED the pool. Thanks for a wonderful place to vacation. The umbrella was great. Take care!” ~ J. Garritano, Goergia
“Sandy, thanks for allowing us to share in your condo….We were here two years ago and loved it. We were pleased to find we were able to stay here again. Your place is great and has all the wonderful things that help us make our vacation relaxing. We have a three year old and it is so nice to wake up and just go outside to the beach. Lunch time comes and you just go upstairs to cook and have ‘nap time’. Wake up from that and repeat the process. We found many sand dollars. We are forced to leave tomorrow….we are saddened…Thank you again for the wonderful time. Thanks again.” ~ C. Greener, Colorado
“Tonya and I have enjoyed our stay very much. The beach area was very nice as was the pool. The view was gorgeous at night fall. We enjoyed walking down the beach and had fun shell hunting. My son’s baseball team is staying just down the road…. We have taken some nice pictures here at the condo and we were able to get ‘Lover’s Key’ T-shirts at the state park. Weather has been gorgeous. We do not want to leave, but all good things come to an end. Maybe next year. Thanks.” ~ T. Dickerson, Indiana
“Sandy, Thank you so much for sharing your little piece of Paradise with us. We love it here and hope to return on a regular basis. We enjoyed the area and the people. The people here are very nice and extremely helpful. The condo was clean and so was everything else in the building. It was a nice, quiet week here for us and the weather was wonderful. God Bless and Many Thanks.” ~ B. Smith, Indiana
“Dear Sandy, We had a wonderful time this week…. Beautiful weather. Lots of good places to eat. Lover’s Key was wonderful to walk on and swim – pool was also a favorite place. Thanks so much – will call you next year. Sincerely.” ~ N. Sears, Conneticut
“Hi Sandy, Thanks for letting us use your condo. Everything was so new, clean and fresh. We played golf, ate out and went shelling. Barb also took us for a boat ride. Thanks again, you have a lovely place. P.S. Thanks for having coffee in the cubboard!” ~ E. Adkins, Illinois
“Thank you so much for the condo. It was very pleasant and relaxing. I was very impressed with my first impression of the place. It was very clean and orderly. We enjoyed that it was off the main strip; that kept it quiet. … it made it feel homey. We will definitely keep you in mind the next time we plan on coming down to Florida. Thanks again.” ~ Eric and Becky, Ohio
“Dear Sandy, Al and I had a delightful stay in your condo. We enjoyed the quiet here compared to the rest of the beach. We kayaked and rode bikes in the state park. Also, walked on the beach and spent time at the pool. We had some great fish dinners. The condo had everything we needed. Especially appreciated the beach towels and chairs. Thanks.” ~ C. Symanski, Illinois
“This was our first time renting a condo – everything was just as you advertised. I’m sure we’ll be back.” ~ P. Minesing, Ontario, Canada

"Sandy, we have had a great time here in South Padre. Thanks for helping us make it happen. The condo is great, the location is perfect with an awesome view of the ocean. Thanks again Sandy, I will definitely recommend this place to my friends and I hope we can come back in the future and stay here again. Thanks so much!!!!" ~ Marco, Texas
"What a lovely area. We had a lovely time all week. We hung around Lover’s Key Beach and saw lots of dolphins – very close to shore. We spent some days fishing and also visited Naples on two days. The highlight was while fishing (right on Lover’s Key Beach) we saw two manatees… they were swimming five feet from us in the ocean. Our eight month old son had so much fun and it was a joy to watch him experience so many exciting sites for the first time. The birds were lovely….everything was great and we will be back!!! J Thanks for everything.” ~ D. Lust, Ohio
“Hi Sandy, What a terrific condo you have here! This is our first experience renting a condo and we both were pleased with the area, the amenities, and your excellent communication via email throughout the process. This unit is very well equipped – complete with beach chairs that we took to Lover’s Key State Park. What a lovely beach over there – we walked endlessly looking for shells and watching all the (successful) fisherman. Thank you for sharing your condo.” ~ M. Roach, Maine
“Hi Sandy, We had a great time! We’ve been to Florida three times and this has been the best place to stay so far. We loved the beach! It’s quiet, yet right in the middle of everything. We had great weather… but they got 8 inches of snow back home. Had a nice outing on the ocean on the “Big M Casino” and we don’t gamble. The ride and food were cheap and the top lounge deck wasn’t crowded. We also enjoyed the hot tub every night. We hope to be back!” ~ Peterson & Turner, Minnesota
"Hi Sandy, We had a great time in Ft. Myers. Thank you so much for allowing us to stay at your condo. It was perfect and is in a great location. ...The weather was great and we were able to do lots of sunbathing. Thanks again for everything." ~ K. Blume, Virginia
"Hi Sandy, I know it's been at least a month since we stayed in your condo (that's too much time in the cold as you know) but I just wanted to tell you how much we liked it. It was absolutely beautiful. The pictures of the view on the website don't in any way show the true beauty. It was great. The beach, fishing, view, pool, condo, it was all great. Thanks." ~ Eve Hardin
"You have a very nice apartment here - well equipped and with great views" ~ Carole, Liverpool, England.
"Sandy, I have to tell you that I had a wonderful time staying in Ft. Myers. I am no longer in a relationship with the young lady that accompanied me on the vacation but I can tell you she had a wonderful time as well. I will most certainly keep you in mind when I travel back to Florida, and I will go back to Florida, I love it. Thanks." ~ Tom Solinger
"Your condo was fantastic - more than we dreamed. We will use it again I am sure and will spread the word!!" ~ Dede Hurson
"Hi Sandy, We returned from South Padre Island yesterday and I just wanted to give you some feedback. The apartment was great, wonderful view of the Gulf and the property is very well maintained and managed. Having extra beach towels was perfect, I didn't expect those in a condo. Nice touch. Kitchen had everything we needed... We had a wonderful time and will definitely recommend you to our family and friends" ~ Gaby Perez
"The condo was excellent, the staff there really keeps the grounds and building looking good" ~ Robert
"Hello Sandy, Thank you for sharing your home in Lover's Key. Ron and I had the BEST vacation we've had in years! We appreciate everything you did for us allowing us to rest, relax, walk and soak up the sun. We weere very impressed with the area and your condo provided all the comforts of home. We certainly found 'our little piece of heaven'. Thank you Sandy. I'm sure our paths will cross again." ~ J. Valeriote, Ontario, Canada
"Thank you for renting to me and my friends. We had a great time and loved the condo. You did a great job remodeling the place. When we were swimming on the private beach we saw lots of dolphins. Thanks again." ~ Tara, Ohio
"Dear Sandy, The condo was everything you said it would be. My wife and I had a wonderful time. I would have been happy just sitting on the balcony every day, but the whole area was just as wonderful. From the first day we saw the dolphins from the balcony and each day after that. My wife kept repeating each day 'I could live here'. Lovers Key Beach and Park must be seen by anybody that stays there. We saw more dolphins in the channel of the park as well as gopher turtles and other wildlife. This was the first time we had tried staying in a condo rather than a hotel. It was much more comfortable and it felt like being in your own home. Thank you so very much and hope to be back soon." ~ Dave & Kitty, Wisconsin
"Hi Sandy, What a great condo. We had an excellent time at South Padre Island and port Isabel. Everyone was very friendly. The views from your condo are outstanding. I will send some photos when I have time. I will definitely come again." ~ Lisa
"The view was wonderful over the gulf and bay, we watched the sun come up over the Gulf in the morning and sunset over the bay at night from two different balconies. We enjoyed the hot tub and pool and long walks on the beach and throughout the island. Great places to eat wtih the best shrimp in the world. I would recommend this area to anyone who wants to be on the water but get away from traffic and crowds and feel safe anytime of the day. We will certainly vacation here again".
"Hi Sandy, Jeff & Elaine Veloza, from your condo unit 108 visit from Nov 3, 2007 to Nov 30, 2007. Our Home Away from Home! We truly felt at home in your condo. Your decor is similar to the decor we have in our home in Wesport, MA. The kitchen, berber rug in the living room, shell comforter in bedroom, palm trees in bath. Unbelievable. We had such a grand time. Folks at your condo were so nice. The beach was magnificent. We were very content in your condo unit. When we arrived at Lovers Key, it didn't take us long to get familiar with the area. You have an abundance of information on things to do, places to see and restaurants in the area. Your directions from the airport to the condo were so helpful to us. Straight on, no problem. We did spend a lot of time at the beach and on the balcony with the magnificent sunsets overlooking the water and bridge. We did see dolphins, many many species of fish. We took walks to Lovers Key Park which we enjoyed so much. There was so much to see. We rescued a seagull with the help of some kind neighbors in the complex and we truly enjoyed every aspect of our holiday. THANK YOU for sharing a part of your Lovers Key Beach Club Condo. We truly loved your home and would look forward to returning next year to Lovers Key Beach Club. You have a warm and welcoming home. Thanks again" ~ Jeff & Elaine
"Dear Sandy, Wanted to let you now how much we enjoyed our stay this past week in Padre. Your website depicted exactly what we saw. The weather was perfect. The beach and water temperature were perfect. And best of all, NO CROWDS! It felt like the island was deserted... we sure enjoyed ourselves... We went on a Sunset Cruise on a Catamaran which served us grilled shrimp and fajitas. Very nice. The condo was very comfortable and we absolutely loved the view! Both of these images were shot from the balcony.... We will happily tell anyone who will listen, how great a time we had in your condo on Padre. Sincerely," ~ Dia and John Bigler
"Hi Sandy... I appreciate the refund you sent and the timely manner in which it was transferred to us. Russ and I and the girls loved it. Being so close to the beach by walking out the back door was wonderful. The beach is clean, too...The washer and driers were also convenient downstairs and the staff keep it clean, which is nice. Thanks for even thinking of extra blankets! Wow. Our oldest is leaving us next month for boot camp in Great Lakes, IL. This was a nice way to share time with her before she leaves us. Thanks again. Next time, I'd like to try your other unit. I think I'd like to sit in bed, read my bible and look out at the ocean view. Love in Christ," ~ Elizabeth Bremer
Sandy, Had a wonderful time here. The condo is very cozy and comfortable. We loved walking the beach and hiking in the park. We saw manatee, dolphin , gopher turtle, eagle and an armadillo! We took advantage of the grills downstairs and grilled/ate some wonderful local seafood. Took in the beautiful sunsets and lounged in the hot tub. It was a very relaxing week in a laid back environment. We loved it! ~ Chris and Kelly
Dear Sandy, This place is beautiful! We have been coming to this area the past 16 years. The view is priceless. The accommodations were great. We loved being able to cook in or eat out. The walks on the beach were terrific. My husband fished and I shelled. Seeing the dolphins, the beautiful flowers, the birds… was what I needed to relax and enjoy our vacation. We will like to come again as long as you will have us. ~ Brian and Jackie
Dear Sandy, It was the best time we have ever had!! We have you to thank for that. This is definitely where we are staying every time we come. Next time we are hoping to bring the grandkids – they will have a blast!! It was a pleasure getting to meet you and your sisters, it’s just too bad we never got together for drinks or dinner. Maybe there will be a next time for us. Thanks again for everything. Especially for the use of your other unit for out last day. You are a life saver. Thank you and we will be talking to you again. ~ Dawn and Bill, MN
Hi Sandy, We enjoyed our stay as usual. We have stayed here the last 4 or 5 years. Our kids love this area and we enjoy how peaceful it is. ~ Candy and Troy G. and boys, Wisconsin
Dear Sandy, … We feel very blessed to have found this beautiful place, a place for rest, for healing and a place for love. We both want to thank you for giving us the opportunity to stay here. We found everything in such good taste, clean, and everything we needed making us feel at home. This without a doubt is the best vacation we’ve had in a long time and perfect as far as what we both needed. We hope to be able to come back soon. Thank you again. ~ Bernie and Paula, Miami
Sunny…beautiful… these words describe Sandy’s Beachfront Condo when we arrived. Tracey and I realize we are going into a typical snowy winter. That’s why we always come in October. The remodel is great – very well done! It is no mystery to Tracey and I why we have visited your condo every year for the past 6-7 years. We will continue to do so (until we can finally buy our own)! Thanks! ~ Bud and Tracey, Ohio
Sandy, we enjoyed our stay here once again. We saw many dolphins. This is a very nice condo – love the view from this balcony. We all had fun here once again. ~ Candy and Troy
Sandy, The facilities, the peacefulness, the view, everything has been positive and we are really looking forward to returning. Your decorating is great and we can really tell that you enjoy this space. We are looking forward to seeing your South Padre Island condo online. ~ Norma and B., ILL
Sandy, Thank you for letting us rent your condo. We absolutely loved it. My family and I had a wonderful time and enjoyed our stay here. Once again, thank you. ~ Shawn and Jami W., MI
Sandy, we have stayed in the Fort Myers Beach/Bonita Springs area several times, but the view from this condo is definitely our favorite. There is always something to watch and enjoy. Steve spent every morning fishing along the beach and we both walked the beach daily. The condo is well stocked so we could eat here as well as enjoy some of the local restaurants. We enjoyed golf, miniature golf, and the Broadway Palms dinner theater in Fort Myers. ~ Steve and Diane, MI.
Sandy, the Lindstroms all enjoyed units #108 and #1105. The children (little ones) loved the baskets and shovels and the “tween-ers” used the pool every day and patrolled the beach daily for conchs and sand dollars – very successfully. The shelling on Lover’s Key Beach (go beyond the point) is exceptional. We went kayaking in the state park. Grandma and Anna went in circles and then ended up being the most fit and in shape of all. We went to the Naples zoo, the California Pizza Kitchen, shopping (of course!) and back to the beach! …. The trolley is by far the best way to go to Times Square. Hoardes of people and the occasional entertainer. … Our trip to the Everglades was fun – airboats at Captain Dougs, a manatee, a raccoon, and Thurs into the Cypress National Preserve to view many things – alligators, turtles, fish, birds and hot tourists. Take water everywhere! The Twins lost to Baltimore…but the children enjoyed getting Meir autographs and pictures with the friendly Twins players. At the end of the day we took our books to the beach or pool to rest up for the next adventure. No one wants to go home! The condos are comfortable and well-equipped. The knives are sharp! The grills work! The Lindstroms are all from Minnesota…
Hi Sandy! We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay! The condo is lovely, with great views; private beach, the list goes on. This is certainly the place to go for R & R. We visited the state park, went shelling, rented a pontoon from Big Hickory Marine, and watched the dolphins swim close by. We would recommend this. Well worth the money. Even did a little fishing. We took in two Twins games. Had a great time at Hammond stadium. The weather was beautiful. Couldn’t have asked for anything more. Can’t way enough good things about your condo, Sandy. The location is great! Very quiet. We knew we could always come back to relax after a busy day. The hot tub and pool were nice too. We appreciated the gated area. This was our first experience renting a condo, and would do it again – we absolutely loved it! We will definitely be back! Thanks again, Sandy! ~ Dean and Geralyn, MN
Sandy: Reading all the previous comments there’s not much else to say. This is our 9th annual vacation to this area…. It is a pleasure to be back here again. The condo is perfect, just right size for my wife and I. She has recovered from a bout with cancer this past year and has now recovered so this was just what she needed before heading back to work next week. The weather has been beautiful and the local seafood the best! We BBQ’d one night and ate out the rest. For others to follow, I wish a wonderful vacation, this is truly a piece of paradise – enjoy!! ~ Greg and Deb M, Ontario
Your lovely condo, sugar white beach, free trolley rides, great weather, some really nice people, complimentary grilling, and so much to do from Naples to Captiva are the recipe for a great week! We’re so glad we came. ~ Bryan and Andrea Kennedy
Dear Sandy, thank you for the opportunity of letting us stay in your condo on such short notice. We saw dolphins twice these days! We are sure to be back some day!! ~ C & J, Frankfurt, Germany
Dear Sandy, Thanks for the opportunity (on such short notice) to have this beautiful vacation. The weather has been 90’ all week and nothing but sun…. the sun rise is as beautiful as the sunset. I saw it every morning (what a site!) We then went for long walks on the beach. I always wanted a place on the beach… In June we celebrate our 49th anniversary. Maybe next year for our 50th we’ll be able to return. The condo was everything I thought it would be. Thanks again…. ~ S. & B. Miller, PA
Dear Sandy, Thank you for letting us use your apartment during our vacation. We had a very relaxing and enjoyable time. The views are beautiful! We are very impressed with the comfort of the apartment (enjoyed the little details like books, games, etc) and the viewing of the dolphins every afternoon. Hope we come back soon. Again, thank you so much. ~ Miriam y Maria
Dear Sandy, Thank you so much for renting to me and my friends. We had a great time and loved the condo. You did a great job remodeling the place. When we were swimming on the private beach we saw lots of dolphins. We also saw lots of tiny crabs. My friend and I even saved one… thanks again. ~ Tara and friend, OH
You have a very nice apartment here. Well equipped and with great views. Not many people around this time of year. Back in the U.K. this is peak holiday time…. We are off to Miami now then sightseeing for four days in New York. Thanks Sandy. ~ Carol and Bobby, Liverpool, England
We have been searching for the ideal place to stay. I think we have found it. The condo is clean and modern. Love being so close to the state park… We had a wonderful time. ~ Jim and Julie, Alabama
Sandy – we enjoyed our stay at your condo! We loved waking up and taking an hour walk down the beach. The shells were great and so were the dolphins. It was amazing to see so many of them. The food was great – especially the fried grouper sandwhiches at the ‘Beached Whale’. You have a nice place…
Sandy, Our stay has been wonderful. Our 4 year old has already asked to come back again. This was by far one of our most relaxing vacations. The weather has been great – high 70’s to 80’s. We loved the pool. Lover’s Key beach was great too! We brought a picnic lunch a couple of times. Thank you so much for letting us stay! * Thanks for the pool toys – perfect for the boys. ~ Jay, Melissa, Cal and Abe. Chicago.
Sandy, thanks for letting us use your condo! It’s been a great, relaxing week (much needed after a long year of wedding planning). The highlight of the trip was definitely the waverunner dolphin tour we took – we had two dolphins within three feet of our waverunner. J To be honest, though, we had just as much fun relaxing here at the beach and the pool as we did doing anything else. Thanks again for helping us have a great honeymoon! ~ Steve and Amanda, Kansas City, MO
Sandy, Thank you for letting us rent your condo. It is very beautiful and very clean. We enjoyed many things like fishing, walking on the beach, the hot tub and pool, and the peace and quiet. The other people in the condo building are very nice and helpful. Cory fell in love with the area and has asked to move here. Thanks. ~ Kurt, LuAnn, Heather and Cory, MN
Dear Sandy; I can’t believe our month is nearly over. We so enjoyed your wee piece of heaven at Lover’s Key #108. Watching sun rise and set every day was breathtaking! So enjoyed the lanai Just staying here walking every day to the end of the Park beach and back. Wonderful!!! Of the many things we did, our favorite thing was just laying on the beach with all our new friends. We barbequed every 2nd day and just loved being right here. Weather was perfect… loved eating on the lanai. Would certainly come again sometime. Thanks for everything. Heard some very nice comments about you Sandy. All great! Thanks! ~ Jim and Viv, Canada
Dear Sandy; Our stay here has been wonderful. The weather was fantastic for the whole week. We’re sure we’ll be back. Maybe next year. And we want to take this weather with us to Chicago! Thank you so much for letting us stay here. ~ K., K., P., and K., Chicago
Dear Sandy, We’ve really enjoyed our two weeks here… low 80’s every day. Beautiful! Our biggest decision was should we go to the beach or the pool? We ended up doing both! We rented a boat one day at ‘Salty Sams’ and went out into the Gulf and Sanibel Island and through some of the back bays. Had a wonderful day! You have certainly thought of everything here for comfort… We would certainly like to return! This is paradise! ~ T & L, Sault St. Marie, Ontario

It was a short but sweet little vacation. I liked the condo and the beach. My favorite restaurant was the Italian restaurant. I love your condo it is so pretty. We played at the pool and at the beach! We built sand castles too! Me and my Dad played in the waves. I love the condo. It is nice. My favorite part was the pool and the beach.

We had a wonderful stay in #707. The view is tremendous. The beach was great... the kids loved the waterpark! My favorite part was the beach and the condo. The condo was really nice. That’s really good coming from me since I am a Marriott time share owner. I’ve gotten ‘spoiled’…
The drive down from Dallas took longer than we expected, but this is our first vacation since 1997. The condo is beautiful and the view is like a scene from a movie. We enjoyed the turtle exhibit, dolphin watch, and the fireworks. The days on the beach or at the pool. We had lived in south Texas for six years and we wish we would have visited the island more back then. Today is our last day at the island. It has come too quickly. I live to see it again soon… Thank you for letting us rent this wonderful condo… we just loved being here! Thank you again! ~ The York family
My family vacation! We went all the way from San Antonio to celebrate my nana’s birthday. We went with my dad, mom, nana and me. We love our condo! My dad’s favorite part was the beach. My mom’s favorite part was the views that she saw. My nana’s favorite part was playing on the beach with her granddaughter. And my favorite part was picking up seashells. From ~ Ruth, Clayton, Mary and Ariana. P.S. We would like to come here again. Love, Ariana
My daughter was right… We had a great long over-due weekend get-a-way! The views were great and the condo was perfect! Enjoyed the boutiques and beach shops. Our family will return and stay again… everyone deserves a moment to relax and get away. ~ Mary
