Your private beach oasis with a heated pool!

We loved it!!! So clean and pretty and cozy. We used the porch constantly, it was lovely. The pool was perfect and at least one of us was out there any time we were home. The location is incredible. We walked to the beach in minutes, to a nearby Tiki Bar for great drinks and food. We walked to the icecream Magic Bus shop. Almost we could have walked to golf course!! We walked up to Periwinkle through Beach road, right to the Lighthouse Cafe for breakfast. We walked down the road to frequently see manatees eating… We grilled a few times too and it worked well. It is a lovely home and John was very kind and helpful with any needs or questions we had, as was Graciela when I was looking to rent it. A perfect getaway close to everything!!

This home is walking distance to Nerita beach and really convenient to the Causeway and central Sanibel restaurants and services. The beds were comfy, the neighborhood was peaceful, and the pool was a lovely mid-afternoon respite. Our hosts were attentive and we appreciated their quick response when we had any questions. We would definitely stay in this home again.

Exactly as described

My husband, 2-year-old and I had a lovely month at Elinor Cottage! It was a quick 10-minute walk to the beach and 2-min drive out to the main road to get to the grocery store, playground, library etc. Everything was clean and spacious, leaving us plenty of living area to be inside on days where the weather wasn’t as nice. We especially enjoyed taking lunch breaks on the large screened-in porch, sleeping in the comfortable king-sized bed in the primary suite, and using the pool on warmer days. Highly recommend!

Short walk to the beach. Fun decor and very comfy!

We’ve stayed on the island many times, and prefer this neighborhood - close to restaurants and shopping, close to the bridge, can bike anywhere, and the beach is only a short walk away. And this house in particular is very private, because it is on a road with a dead end. Very good communication with the owner, and the kitchen has all the pots and pans and knives you need to cook your own meals.

Good: Spacious with good storage, comfortable beds, large screened porch, close to beach and shops, fast internet, included a decent supply of bath and dish soap, shampoo, conditioner and toilet paper, included 2 bikes, 2 beach chairs and a beach umbrella. Bad: Pervasive bad smell from nearby wastewater plant, insufficient quantity of dishes & silverware, pool deck lacks shade, some minor maintenance issues, we were given an incorrect door code and couldn't get in when we arrived.

The property is private, quaintly decorated, giving a very cozy feel. It is well-equipped, including with its own well-maintained pool. Graciela was very promptly responsive to a few problems that arose, seemingly because of repairs that had been needed following the hurricane, and so, despite the challenges of trades people having to negotiate terrible causeway traffic delays, all of our concerns were quickly addressed. We had a lovely holiday.

Family of four coming in and out at various times. It was PERFECT for us. Fantastic location. Beautiful and comfortable house and pool. Peaceful. We cooked. We ate. We swam and bicycled. Cooked. Ate (sipped). Hosts were wonderful!! Super responsive to any question. Thank you Graciela!

Great place to stay !
