About this apartment rental

Welcome to Villa Sanibel 1H, a spectacularly renovated beachfront penthouse-style condo nestled in the highly coveted Building 1. Positioned as close to the shoreline as island regulations allow, this second-floor retreat offers an exclusive vantage point. Step out your door and down the entry stairs, and you are a mere 10 steps from sinking your toes into Sanibel’s world-famous sugar sand. From the moment you arrive, the sweeping, panoramic views of the Gulf of Mexico will take your breath away.

PLEASE NOTE: To preserve the intimate, low-density charm of the property, Villa Sanibel 1H is a classic second-floor walk-up (no elevator), rewarding guests with elevated breezes, vaulted ceilings, and superior coastal views.

THE SPACES:

As you step inside, the spacious, open-concept floor plan immediately welcomes you with an abundance of natural light and sophisticated coastal decor. The expansive living room features plush, comfortable sofas and a large Smart TV—ideal for winding down after a day in the sun. For a true indoor-outdoor experience, slide open the doors to the private, screened lanai to enjoy the gentle rustle of the palms and salty gulf breezes.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The location is great. Being on the second floor gives a wonderful view of the gulf and beach from the porch, front door and guest bedroom. And it is just a few steps from the beach. Another plus is the loft where 2 people can stay. We appreciate the fact that there are only 20 units, and 2 next to each other so it is private. This unit has had somethings new or redone each time we have been there in the last 7 years so it always looks nice.
