When all 64 of your condo complex’s units benefit from a direct gulf view, hurricanes unfortunately become a part of your story. Ocean’s Reach Condominiums at 2230 Camino Del Mar Drive on Sanibel Island has its share of hurricane damage and recovery stories to tell, culminating with its reopening ribbon-cutting on Jan. 14, compliments of the SanCap Chamber.
“We’ve long been fans of the SanCap Chamber and are thankful that the feeling is mutual,” said general manager Tracy Brunner. “Their support — as well as that of our owners and the entire island community — has helped us to focus on resiliency and keep a ‘Sanibel Strong’ mindset throughout these grueling two-plus years. We’re excited to be part of Sanibel’s resurgence!”
First opened in 1975, Ocean’s Reach’s run-in with Hurricane Charley in 2004 necessitated a full rebuild. Hurricane Ian in 2022 had a similar outcome. Like many island properties, Ocean’s Reach was close to finished before storms Debby, Helene, and Milton set it back.
“It was a jolly holiday for the Ocean’s Reach team to once again welcome longtime guests as of Dec. 21,” said John Lai, SanCap Chamber president and chief executive officer. “We applaud them for their all-new look and the near completion of all units – 58 of them in the rental program – and amenities.”
“Ocean’s Reach is unique for offering entirely oceanfront accommodations,” said Brunning. “We also feature flexible scheduling and some of the most affordable oceanfront rental rates available on Sanibel. Not to mention a knowledgeable staff and arguably the friendliest hospitality on the island.”
