This was the perfect location for our family to call home for a week, was right next door to a family-run convenience store, across the street from ice cream, dining & shopping, and on the main thoroughfare to get to everything else on the island via car. I didn't take pics of it because honestly, that's why you go to Sanibel, to do nothing other than go to the beach, collect cool sea shells, and shop. The kitchen had everything you could need and a full-size fridge was handy for the grocery store items on the non-restaurant nights. It was a truly memorable, enjoyable and comfortable home for a week and we hope to be able to go again next year! ##### Wendy Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ann-Louise Oct 1, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Thanks for a good stay!

It was a short walk or bike ride to the beach. The room had everything we needed and beach chairs, beach cart and bicycles were provided. It was right across from a coffee and ice cream shop and a nice restaurant and a gift shop. I will definitely be back to visit. ##### Kimberly Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Erin Aug 13, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Will go back!

Very quiet and area felt safe. When we arrived we got a quick, helpful tour from Maureen around the complex. They provided beach equipment an umbrella, beach wagon, towels, chairs. The beach was a quick 5 min walk away. They have a grill and different seating areas around the property to enjoy. There is a restaurant and coffee shop across the street and a deli next door. The property has free bikes you can use during your stay. We stayed in the Birdhouse room. Which was perfect for our stay. It was a nice, quiet, clean place. We would happily stay again! ##### Sonya Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### andrea May 10, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Will return !
