Luxury 2-Bedrooms Beachfront Sundial on Gulf of Mexico

We just returned from two weeks in Sundial F401. Many good things to say about this property:

* it is exactly as it is portrayed in the photos;
* the proximity to the beach and pool is extraordinary; unit has great beach toys and equipment;
* the wrap around deck and big windows are great; sea breezes marvelous;
* great restaurants in Sanibel and Captiva.

Some misses too:

* slow internet;
* air conditioning unit is behind head of master bed and noisy; 2nd bedroom does not cool easily.

Because this unit is managed by Royal Shell properties, there are some oddities that go with that as well. No extra sheets available. All 'leftovers' (such as shampoo) are thrown out at end of each guest's visit because, as Royal Shell told us, someone might put Nair in the shampoo as a joke (really?). You should expect to buy everything you use; in our experience with other Home Away properties, certain things are left behind by each guest to be used by the next guests, like sugar or oil, but Royal Shell throws out everything.

We had a good time; the rate for Sundial F401 was reasonable; the location of the condo makes it feel like a penthouse--and the view is unbeatable.
