About this house rental

Here is the home you've been waiting for, located in the heart of Sanibel Island, ideal for couples retreat,. 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!

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.
