We enjoyed our month in the garden that is Gulf Pines, with its lagoons, plantings, and wildlife. Pool was convenient and NICE and warm, we had the beach almost to ourselves some days. Owner was very responsive to queries and concerns. Spiral staircase was a challenge to navigate with luggage and vintage knees. Kitchen was bright and beautiful.

We enjoyed a month at Gulf Pines. It is a quiet, charming part of Sanibel between the Gulf of Mexico and SanCap Rd. The description in Vrbo of short distances etc is accurate. The people living here are very friendly and open.
The house is well equipped from the two car garage with bicycles and everything the owners use themselves when here, to the kitchen with the expected kitchen items ie pots, pans, plates, cups, glasses etc, but also an unexpected drawer with pens, markers, tape, batteries should you need it.
The appliances are all new.
We enjoyed eating at Timbers, Doc Ford’s, Rosalita’s Cantina, Cielo, Traders, Bleu Rendezvous and others.
Walking on the beach is just wonderful, looking for shells and watching the great variety of birds including pelicans diving into the Gulf catching fish, ospreys flying majestically high in the air, plovers, terns and the small sanderlings running back up and down the water’s edge. Ding Darling is a must visit.
All in all a fantastic month.
