Mar 4, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Sanibel Dream Our stay was truly amazing! The home was well appointed with everything one needed to enjoy a relaxing time on Sanibel. The homes location to Bowman’s and Blind Pass beach made for an easy, no issues beach day. Also, with Captiva Island so close, we enjoyed many evenings dining out there (Green Flash and Shipyard) and watching the beautiful sunsets. The hosts were very easy to communicate with and provided us a stress free stay. I look forward to a return in the future ##### Robert P.

We arrived later than planned. Called owners and they were very helpful instructing us on everything we needed to light up this beautiful home and get unloaded. The home was perfect. View from screened porch was awesome. Home is well maintained and has everything you need for a perfect vacation. Nice neighborhood to walk in. ##### Cecelia M. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Robert H.

Mar 30, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful home! Loved the Sanctuary location! ##### James H. This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent Apr 1, 2013 #### Beautiful, comfortable, private getaway in great location - a real gem! We rented this home for a month in March, 2013. We were pleasantly surprised when we arrived as this property was even better than we had imagined. This home is beautiful, spacious, very clean and well-maintained, located in a very quiet and private nieghborhood. Everything you need for a wonderful vacation from beach chairs and umbrellas to a fully functional Weber grill and fully equipped kitchen is here. The beds are extremely comfortable. There is a great view of the lake from the deck or from the dock with so many birds you'll be amazed. The house is beautifully landscaped, surrounded by native trees and bushes. Just sitting on the decks, either in sun or shade is extremely relaxing. And, oh, did we mention the hammock? The entertainment center leaves nothing to be desired. Bowman's Beach is just about 5 minutes away as is the J. N. "Ding" Darling National Wildlife Refuge. If you bike you don't even need a car to get there. Shopping and restaraunts are nearby. There are many things to do here and all are easily accessible. The owners are very personable, accomodating and wonderful people to work with. One really couldn't ask for more from a rental. We had a wonderful time and will certainly return when we can. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Mondrian South Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Miami-Hotels-Mondrian-South-Beach.h2190271.Hotel-Information) > > [W South Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Miami-Hotels-W-South-Beach.h11881.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Resort Orlando at WALT DISNEY WORLD® Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Resort-Orlando-At-WALT-DISNEY-WORLD-Resort.h7374428.Hotel-Information) > > [Universal's Hard Rock Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Universals-Hard-Rock-Hotel.h485506.Hotel-Information) > > [Reunion Resort & Golf Club](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Reunion-Resort-Golf-Club.h992499.Hotel-Information) > > [Embassy Suites by Hilton Fort Lauderdale 17th Street](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Lauderdale-Hotels-Embassy-Suites-Ft-Lauderdale17th-Street.h11909.Hotel-Information) > > [Universal's Endless Summer Resort - Dockside Inn and Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Universals-Endless-Summer-Dockside-Inn-Suites.h33770341.Hotel-Information) > > [Home2 Suites by Hilton Orlando at Flamingo Crossings](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Home2-Suites-By-Hilton-Orlando-Flamingo-Crossings.h58072517.Hotel-Information) > > [Universal's Endless Summer Resort - Surfside Inn and Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Universals-Endless-Summer-Resort-Surfside-Inn-And-Suites.h27522522.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton at the Entrance to Universal Orlando](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-At-The-Entrance-To-Universal-Orlando.h5398.Hotel-Information) > > [B Ocean Resort Fort Lauderdale Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Lauderdale-Hotels-B-Ocean-Resort.h5404.Hotel-Information) > > [Universal’s Loews Royal Pacific Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Universals-Loews-Royal-Pacific-Resort.h856706.Hotel-Information) > > [Universal's Cabana Bay Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Universals-Cabana-Bay-Beach-Resort.h5963292.Hotel-Information) > > [Beach House Fort Lauderdale, a Hilton Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Lauderdale-Hotels-Hilton-Fort-Lauderdale-Beach-Resort.h28591.Hotel-Information) > > [The Tides on Hollywood](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Lauderdale-Hotels-The-Tides-On-Hollywood.h44524455.Hotel-Information) > > [Loews Miami Beach Hotel – South Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Miami-Hotels-Loews-Miami-Beach-Hotel-South-Beach.h81223.Hotel-Information) > > [Fontainebleau Miami Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Miami-Hotels-Fontainebleau-Miami-Beach.h1190549.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riu Plaza Miami Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Miami-Hotels-Hotel-Riu-Plaza-Miami-Beach.h74574.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Points by Sheraton Orlando International Drive](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Four-Points-By-Sheraton-Orlando-International-Drive.h4262.Hotel-Information) > > [1 Hotel South Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Miami-Hotels-1-Hotel-South-Beach.h1790087.Hotel-Information) > > [Margaritaville Hollywood Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Lauderdale-Hotels-Margaritaville-Hollywood-Beach-Resort.h10005147.Hotel-Information) > > [Diplomat Beach Resort Hollywood, Curio Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.ca/Miami-Hotels-Diplomat-Beach-Resort-Hollywood.h857779.Hotel-Information) > > [Moxy Miami South Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Miami-Hotels-Moxy-Miami-South-Beach.h55553829.Hotel-Information) > > [Walt Disney World Dolphin](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Walt-Disney-World-Dolphin.h12710.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Fort Lauderdale Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Lauderdale-Hotels-The-Westin-Fort-Lauderdale-Beach-Resort.h17159.Hotel-Information) > > [W Fort Lauderdale](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Lauderdale-Hotels-W-Fort-Lauderdale.h2335216.Hotel-Information) > > [Fort Lauderdale Marriott Harbor Beach Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Lauderdale-Hotels-Fort-Lauderdale-Marriott-Harbor-Beach-Resort-Spa.h21880.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Club Vacations at Orange Lake Resort by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Club-Vacations-At-Orange-Lake-Resort.h6315.Hotel-Information) > > [Bahama Bay Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Bahama-Bay-Resort.h1056615.Hotel-Information)
