This home is an open floor plan, 4 BR 3 Bath home featuring a family room, formal living room, breakfast nook, power reclining sofa and loveseat, our most favorite spot - the pool and outdoor dining area. The master bedroom has a very nice walk in closet actually located in the master bath, nice master bath with a stand up shower and there is an entrance doorway directly to the outdoor lounging area from the bedroom. At the other end of the house are the other three bedrooms. The 1st bedrooms has both a futon and twin over double bunk bed and a smart TV - perfect for a kids' room. The 2nd bedroom has queen size bed and a smart TV. The third bedroom can also double as a master as it has its own attached bath and small deck. There is also a smart TV in this room. Let's talk about the kitchen and dining areas. There is a formal dining room with seating for six and just off the kitchen is a breakfast nook area that seats 6. The kitchen features a lot of little extras including a Keurig Duo (you can choose coffee pods or a standard drip coffee), lots of coffee cups, a great spice rack, plenty of wine glasses and lots of storage containers for leftovers. The outdoor dining area has a teak table that also seats 6. The family room and formal living room are great areas for gathering. The formal living room is really nice for conversation featuring a large plush sofa, two arm chairs and a monstrously large, oversized chair that is even more comfortable than it looks! The family room has a sofa and loveseat both equipped with power reclining features and a swivel chair as well. There is also a 65" smart TV. And then we come to the glorious outdoor area. A gorgeous heated pool, lots of lounging seating and a storage box with pool noodles etc. You will find yourself drawn to this area even if it is raining because the dining area is covered. It is simply a great area to gather and have a great time swimming, lounging, floating, conversing, playing or reading. You know, while we're at it, let's talk about some of the hidden creature comforts that come along with this home - an elevator, covered parking area, a grill (Weber Genesis), outdoor shower for washing off when you come from the beach or before you get in the pool, a kitchen island with barstools for grabbing a quick snack, three (3!) ovens and two (2!) refrigerators. Whew! That is a lot! As most homes on the island, we were affected by Hurricane Ian and we are still taking care of some things around the home namely bringing our landscaping back to its original glory. UPDATE: You can see that our pool cage has been restored - complete with No-see-um screen to keep those critters out while you enjoy a a wonderful rest by the pool. This home is only a .4 mile walk to the beach which should only take 7-10 minutes so come enjoy a trip to Sanibel. You will not regret it. The Salty Air Retreat is ready to welcome you in with open arms! ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby ### Pool/Spa - Heated pool - Private pool ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Car recommended - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Ice maker - Kitchen island - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided - Sofa bed ### Bathroom - 3 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Shower - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room - Separate dining area ### Entertainment - DVD player - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Garden ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - 2 pets total (up to 50 lbs per pet) ### Suitability/Accessibility - Elevator - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - Near a hospital - Near a zoo - Near an outlet shopping mall - Near the bay - Near the marina - Near the sea ### Things to do - Heated pool - Birdwatching nearby - Cycling nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Jet skiing nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Scuba diving nearby - Snorkeling nearby - Swimming nearby - Water skiing nearby - Whale watching nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Windsurfing nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden - Unit size: 2,314 square feet ## Similar properties ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/67000000/66800000/66798800/66798771/00cc4ca3.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Sanibel Island Escape Sanibel Isles - Pool - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 9.2 Wonderful 10 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-17&endDate=2025-10-18&selected=66798771&PinnedHotelID=66798771&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/109000000/108900000/108899700/108899682/89faa8cb.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Exceptional canal front home, beautiful design, steps to beach!

May 8, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful island house We definitely would have rated this property a five star except we didn’t have use of the pool for 6 days due to construction of the pool enclosure, the host was in contact throughout this process. The home itself is beautiful and just what we wanted. It has a lot of room and all on one level. The elevator is a cool touch😊 We would love to stay here again. ##### Nick S. Stayed 29 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jennifer R. Dec 5, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 3.5 month stay I rented this house for a refrigeration company that worked on the island doing a remodel and repairs from Hurricane Ian. Their options were limited to either a hotel off the island or a house on the island. This house was ideal, it's on the island, it had multiple areas for relaxing, great lay out, close to everything and very convenient. I would definitely rent the house again. ##### Jennifer R.
