The location is absolutely brilliant: it is secluded but at the same time the beach is 3 minutes walk away, about 600 feet from the Gulf of America, tennis (Beachview) is 5 minutes walk and the golf course (Sanibel Island) is a 2 minutes drive. Restaurants and shops are all within biking distance. You’ll love my place because of the relaxed ambiance, outdoor spaces, neighborhood, and the proximity to the beach.

Large backyard with extended wooden deck with peaceful view to enjoy the sunny days of Florida. Paradise awaits! While making your way around Sanibel and surroundings you will be greeted by many birds, dolphins, manatee and many species of fish. You will boat, kayak, paddle board, drive, walk or rent bikes and ride around the island you will not need to drive a car.

After a long day exploring, put your feet up on the comfy couches or love seat, flipping through the channels on the 65” curve flat-screen ultra-high-definition Smart TV.
Just beyond the living room you’ll find a 6-person dining table. White and bright, the kitchen is stocked with full-size appliances including a stove/oven, dishwasher and microwave and extras like blender, toaster, regular brewer coffee maker. No need to over pack; bedding, towels and beach towels are provided, and the laundry room houses a washer and dryer so you can stay caught up on the laundry.

    Wonderful experience! The Back yard is a tropical paradise and highly recommend spending as much time back there as possible, we saw more wildlife in our own yard than anywhere else, 3 different kinds of woodpeckers and one had a nest with babies in the backyard, also there is a owl nest in the backyard. There is Wonderful high quality Accommodations such as a Blender, cookware, Towels and my husband fell in love with the curved TV in the family room!! Definitely would love to stay at this property many more times in the future, I can not give it enough praise!

    The photos don't do this place justice. We stayed here as a single family of 4 and it was perfectly beautiful. Its modern decor doesn't feel like a rental at all! The landscaping feels like paradise with lots of space outside. Everything you need for the beach is here. The owners thought of all sorts of details, like having enough charging stations. The linens smell delicious. The worst thing I can say about it is that the garbage can under the sink is annoying to pull out. That's if I really dig for something negative to say. Otherwise everything from the soft sheets, dreamy pillows, rainforest shower head, restaurant fridge and movie room were wonderful. It's all stuff I would want in my own home. The street is tucked away, but only 2 blocks from the beach so you get quiet and access at the same time. It's a short bike ride through a little bird sanctuary to DQ, a market and a few other places. Also, the WiFi is speedy so I was able to WFH with kids doing their thing on devices as well. Can't say enough good things about this place.

    This is a gorgeous property. Exactly as advertised. Very clean and so close to the beach. We loved our stay there and would go back any time. The house is very well equipped, and it had everything we needed for a long stay. The backyard is beautiful, the beds are comfy, there are plenty of sheets and towels. We appreciated the big tv for nights in, and the Nespresso machine.

    Perfect location! Short walk to the beautiful beach, even shorter when you carry the beach chairs on your back, which is easy, and bike over. Would love to stay there again but it's hard to find an open slot in Feb /Mar. Thanks Guido

    We had a wonderful and very relaxing vacation. We can’t wait to go back. This house is so close to the beach, local restaurants, gift shops, etc. that you can either walk or ride bikes to. We loved waking up early and taking our morning bike ride to explore the island and then coming back and spending the rest of the day at the beach. The house provided a cart that we could strap the four beach chairs to and also a little red cart that we would load with our cooler and our shell bags to collect the beautiful shells that we collected each day. The house was very clean and very well organized. The only few things we wished the house would’ve had more of were towels for the bathroom and the kitchen and also some dresser drawers that we could put our clothes away in. Other than that you will love your stay at this vacation home!

    The home is in a quiet location only 2 to 3 minutes from the beach. It is well furnished with every need catered for. The garden is secluded and provides an area to relax in with all the garden furniture to enable you to do just that. What we also liked was the fact that shops and restaurants were all within walking distance and we barely used our car. We would strongly recommend this home and we will return.

    The newly renovated/decorated house is a block away from a beautiful beach. The owners have made sure that everything you need for a week at the beach is at the house. Relax and enjoy!
