Escape to your own West Gulf beach cottage !

We had a wonderful trip. We will definitely come back.

Property was clean and comfy. Management made the check-in process straightforward and remained in contact with us during the week. Cottage is a short walk to the beach and a short drive to restaurants and grocery store. Ready access to bike paths and Ding Darling Nature Preserve. Relaxing stay!

We’ve stayed at Sanibel many times and this was one of our favorites. Love the quaintness of the cottage and the proximity to the ocean!

Great place for my husband and I to spend the week. Nothing fancy, but clean and had everything we needed. Loved the views of the ocean and how close it was to the beach. Rented bikes and rode the bike path every morning. Will definitely come back!

Overall we were pleased. However, the property needs some care. We didn't have a clock in the bedroom and one of the lamps in the bedroom was missing. The management responded quickly but this could have been avoided. Also our hot water heater went out. We were able to have a new one replaced within 24 hours but the repairman said the old one was really old and probably should have been replaced much sooner. The sofa in the living room was outdated and could stand to be replaced. These are fixable things. We loved the location and beach access. Management was responsive.

We loved the location of this cottage! It felt like we lived on the beach. We loved the screened in porch! It was wonderful to have some shade in the evening. The furnishings are dated and the couch is not too comfy. The bed was very comfortable! Loved having breakfast and looking out at the ocean every morning!

Nice

We had a wonderful time here at at White Caps - we wanted a good location , at a fair price and we believe I got both!! Will probably stay again next year but one week was just not enough.

It’s hard to separate our joy from the island from the exact place we stayed; it was all so perfect. Listing was as described with the exception of laundry. I don’t remember it specifying that the laundry was coin operated in a separate, on property building: it is. Even our leaving instructions indicated to start the sheets washing. A phone call straightened that out, but I had packed some items with intentions to wash and altered that. (I didn’t care to babysit wash). Really nice to be able to view the beach inside. We didn’t eat on the porch, but could still enjoy the water from the kitchen table. Property is pup friendly, and several cottage residents had theirs accompanying them; that was lovely too! ‘‘Twas nice to have a communal feel to the stay versus the anonymity of large properties. Kitchen was stocked well enough for basic cooking. Beach chairs, umbrella, buckets, basic sand toys were provided. Even beach towels! Books were nice addition as well. The shelling was amazing on the beach directly in front of property. 90* days meant water was perfect for swimming. We collected dozens of Florida fighting conchs and others in lesser quantities. Sand dollars were aplenty too one day. Our time of year was perfection for avoiding crowds and still enjoying great birding at Ding Darling. As an amateur photographer, I managed several amazing pics of local wildlife. Fighting ibis, osprey with fish, and the beach pics with shell mounds were envied by many a FB friend. Pretty sure we strummed up interest in Sanibel, and will happily recommend White Caps to them.

This property is in a quiet neighborhood, the units are very private and not a lot of people around, which I loved it. The unit where my wife and I stayed (unit 1) was very clean and spacious for the two of us and our dogs. The bathroom is large enough, modern and updated. The kitchen can use some updating, but it has all the basics to cook a decent meal, then again you are not there to spend your time cooking, so for us was not a big deal. The bedroom was nice and clean and the bed was comfortable. This unit is near the beach, you can see it from your window, and is just a short walk to it. The beach is dog friendly, you only have to follow a few basic rules, it was clean with a lots of shells and not very crowded, loved it. The company who manage this place (Kingfisher) e-mailed us all the need it information to check in and to check out, and there was a phone number that we could call 24 hours if we had issues, which we had not. They were helpful but not intrusive. Overall, we are very pleased with this place, it is exactly as described and pictured at the website. I definitely recommend it and will come back to it.
