Beachy Keen-Tranquil home away from home with private beach! Discount MarchApril

Our month's stay was very enjoyable. The house is clean, well maintained and equipped - whimsical mermaid decor. The host is lovely and helpful. I'd highly recommend Beachy Keen!

Enjoyed every minute in this beautiful home! The host was accessible and responsive; she thought of every detail. The beach was not crowded and was only a short walk. Our favorite spot was the wonderful, large screened porch - so comfortable and peaceful with the many visits from birds and breezes. Definitely a winner!

Great

We had a very comfortable and relaxing experience staying here. It’s a really lovely home at the quiet end of the island. Amedia thinks of everything and is quick to respond to any requests. She genuinely cares about the comfort of her guests. The access to a private beach is incredible! We took long walks there every day. I highly recommend this terrific home!

Our Sanibel stay was absolutely perfect from the easy check-in to our departure. Knowing we'd spend a month in our rental, we did a lot of research & this place came out on top. The VRBO listing is accurate - you'll be delighted with the amenities, the cleanliness, the location, and most of all the host, who was simply the best. She answered our questions prior to our visit and was filled with good info our entire stay. The well-appointed kitchen made meal prep so easy. The bedrooms were spacious & the beds were extra comfy. Our favorite area was the large screened in porch - our go-to spot for coffee in the morning and cocktails at night. The private, neighborhood beach is a short walk away and is gorgeous for both sunsets and shelling. The host even provides a parking pass if you'd prefer to drive. She's thought of everything - restaurant tips, area attraction info, etc. You can tell this home is loved: it's warm and welcoming and you'd be foolish to look any further. This is a place our family would return and we're telling all our friends about it. We were beyond impressed and know you will be, too.

One of the things I look for when renting a vacation property is Will this house make me feel like I am in ____? I don't want to feel like I am in a hotel or back home in Nebraska. This house fit that bill beautifully from its mermaid-themed front door to the merman handing over the kitchen sink. Gorgeous shells met us at the front door, and graced spots throughout the house. The pictures show the house perfectly, but can't truly convey the comfort & Florida feel of the house. This house has one of the best equipped kitchens we have ever encountered! Comfortable for our group of 7 to mix & move when preparing meals. The living area was roomy so our 2 grandsons could run about without bumping into furniture, while 2 couches comfortably held 5 adults. The screened-in deck drew us for our morning coffee, a candle-lit glass of wine or an afternoon reading session...we were in a special place. The beach was a block away, but we had a parking pass that allowed us to park close to the beach. A flower-filled path lead us to the beach and gorgeous sunsets. Shells galore filled the shore, and we all collected a wide variety of shells. We enjoyed watching the Willets, Sanderlings, and Ruddy Turnstones run along the surf, while brown pelicans and Forester's Terns dove in the waves right next to the shore. The beach was composed of fine sand...wonderful to walk on. Colored piles of shells drew our eyes down & slowed our progress as our fingers searched among the shapes of the calicoes, whelks, conchs to find the perfect souvenir. One of the reasons we wanted to visit Sanibel was Ding Darling Bird Refugee. We could not have asked for a better spot. We were only minutes away from the entrance and exit of the Wildlife Drive...we took the drive 2 times everyday. The refuge boundary is on the other side of Sanibel-Captiva Road, so we were able to see Ibis, Collared Doves, Pileated Woodpeckers, & Spoonbills from the screened deck. Ami was a prompt & caring hostess...one of the highlights of our trip was her suggestion we take cruise with one of her friends...Capt Emily. We hired her for a 5 hour cruise to visit some of the other islands. We saw ospreys, manatees & dolphins. Capt Emily made the cruise personal with her stories & knowledge of the islands. I would highly recommend working this into your stay. Any review has limitations...but when I say we hated to leave...that should tell you this home may be your perfect spot.
