About this apartment rental

Beautiful condo on Sanibel Island's world famous shelling beach with the Ding Darling Nature Sanctuary only minutes away. You’ll love Villa Sanibel, a small and smoke-free complex of only 20 units, very quiet, private and just steps to the beach. It's perfect for couples and families (with kids) as it has a large pool, tennis court and is on the bike path and only a short ride or walk to shops and attractions!

2F Villa Sanibel on luxurious West Gulf Drive - a spacious two story vacation home with a beamed wood ceiling and clerestory windows under the roof that give this condominium unit an airy and luminous feeling. The two bedroom, two bath condo with loft is fully furnished with all linens (including beach towels) and kitchen utensils. The master bedroom contains a king-size bed, with a queen bed in the second bedroom and a day bed with a pop-up trundle in the loft, which overlooks the living room area.

The condo is accessible through the main front door as well as a second door that leads into the guest bedroom. There is a full kitchen equipped with a refrigerator, stove/oven, dishwasher, and necessities such as coffee pot, dishes, silverware, cookware, glasses, etc.

The dining room and living room are an open space equipped with a cable television and Smart TV. In the dining area there is a spiral staircase leading to the loft which will sleep two guests. Please note the loft may not be the best fit for small children and/or elderly guests as the staircase is quite narrow.

There is a screened lanai with a dining table and two lounging chairs. The porch is accessible through the living room as well as the master bedroom. The master bedroom contains a full bathroom and the main hallway leads to the guest bedroom, which has an additional guest bath area.

The condo has a linen closet in the hallway containing bath towels, extra sheets and beach towels. In the closet in the guest bedroom you will find beach umbrellas, beach chairs, tennis rackets, and tennis balls.

The recycling receptacles/dumpster are located next to the tennis court. Please place any trash and recycling you may accumulate during your stay inside of these receptacles.

Activities: One of the best shelling beaches in the world is right outside the door. The Beachview Golf Course is two minutes away with shopping and restaurants right around the corner - easy to reach by car or by Sanibel's lovely and safe bike path which runs right by the complex. The Bailey Tract of the Ding Darling Nature Preserve is within walking distance and wildlife is always nearby with dolphins, tortoises, osprey, ibis, etc. sighted daily.

Important Notes: Please note that "busy season" falls during March thru early-mid May. During this time, the island is busy with lots of families with small children. If you prefer to come to the island to enjoy its nature and tranquility, it's best to plan your trip during the "off" months.

The Villa Sanibel neighborhood strictly prohibits smoking of any kind and does not permit parties of any sort (ie, pool parties).

When staying in the Villas, only beach chairs and an umbrella are allowed to remain on the front porches and must be neatly leaned against the walls. Towels and other beachwear must not be hung over any railings (shoes left on the porch are hit-or-miss, given how sandy the island is!).

We just finished a two month stay at Villa Sanibel 2F and the property was very nice. Check in process was great and the owner was very accessible. The location of this property was excellent. Maybe 30 yards from the beach! We really enjoyed the sunsets every night and getting to know our neighbors. Everyone was very friendly and we had a great time visiting with them. The unit was very well stocked with all the neccessities, towels, beach chairs, kitchen utensils etc. All the appliances worked well with a newer washer and dishwasher. But the real attraction to this property is the location. Its right on the beach! We were able to walk to Casa Ybel resort and enjoy drinks and lunch at the pool bar Coconuts. We also had dinner twice at Thistle Lodge in Casa Ybel and being able to walk home from dinner on the beach was great. Also you are not very far from Bailey's Grocery and Doc Ford's. This mid island location is really convenient to many of the attractions on Sanibel. I would definitely reccommend Villa Sanibel!

This is our third time staying at this condo complex, second time in this condo. It is in a great location: on the beach, centrally located, great shelling, watch the sun rise/set, trails, restaurants, etc. The condo complex quiet and has an island feel with a nice pool. Although not fancy , this condo is clean, comfortable and has all you need. Being on the second level is a plus due to the loft and high ceilings. The manager, Hannah, is outstanding to work with and super responsive. We recommend this condo and look forward to renting it again.

Very nice-quiet place to stay. This is a small complex which was why we picked this one, maybe 20 units or so. Very short walk to the beach which was not crowded at all. Close to shopping and restaurants. The kitchen was very well stocked if you want cook. We would definitely stay here again.

My daughter and I enjoyed our stay. The property was well kept at the villa. Walking, we were 20 seconds from the beach/oceanfront. It was well lit and although two other condominium properties neighbored the villa, I still felt the villa was secluded. There are beautiful trees lining the property and very minimal traffic within the villa and at the entrance as West Gulf Rd is off the beaten path. Really, the whole island is preserved, secluded, peaceful and minimally commercialized. The master bedroom and bath was comfortable. The second bedroom was also nice and had a door to the outside which was helpful if we were having trouble with the lock on the main door (sometimes the knob was troublesome). It was great having an entry code rather than a key! No key to worry about getting lost at the beach!! The kitchen was well stocked with dishes. The lanai was comfortable and overlooked the pool—great watching thunderstorms from the lanai. A large towel rack was on the lanai for beach towels. The loft area was cute but we didn’t need to use it. We enjoyed the smart TV, the large kitchen table for puzzles that were provided, the closeness to the beach and the second floor location. I also appreciated the selection of beach chairs and boards/noodles. It would be great to have a beach umbrella provided, but they are easy to rent on the island. There are plenty of towels and bars of hand soap, dishwasher and dishwashing soaps, and a few laundry detergent pods. We really enjoyed our stay and from what we saw as we scoped out the island, the villa is really a prime spot and one of the nicest properties for all of the reasons I mentioned above. I hope to return!!
