Location: Blind Pass, Sanibel Island, Florida South West, Florida, USA (Bowman's Beach)
Accommodations: Condominium, 3 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 2 Baths (Sleeps 8)
Locals and long time Sanibel visitors often refer to Blind Pass as the “Best Kept Secret on Sanibel”. Since this condo is the only complex on Bowman’s Beach, it never gets overcrowded even during the high season. Often during the year it literally feels like you have your own private beach. When you are at the beach, you won’t see rows of condos, just open beach, sand and tropical vegetation.
There are quiet courtyards and winding footpaths lined with lush tropical trees and foliage throughout the complex.
It's just a short walk down to the sandy path leading to the beach. You'll cross a footbridge that spans a lagoon full of fish and crabs -- and the exotic wading birds that come there to dine on them! You'll see egrets, herons, ibis, pelicans, and even the rare roseate spoonbill. Canoes and kayaks are available for a quiet paddle through nature. As you continue down the path to the beach, you'll pass a pair of nesting ospreys and hear the gentle surf up ahead. Then you'll see the Gulf of Mexico lapping at the white sandy beach that stretches for miles in both directions.
You'll have no shortage of options as you plan your day. Tennis, swimming, fishing, nature walks, shelling, and lounging on the beach are just a few of the activities you'll enjoy.
This recently updated three bedroom, two bath condo can accommodate 8 adults. It is a very quiet end unit with two master bedrooms and ceiling fans in every room. This condo is perfect for families or couples traveling together. If you have kids, there is a fully stocked closet with beach and pool toys. There is a TV in every room as well as a DVD and VCR available. Free wireless internet is accessible from this unit if you choose to keep in touch with the real world.
Shelling at Bowman Beach on Sanibel
VRBO Bear stayed here - 04/10/2009 I eagerly anticipated my trip to Sanibel as soon as the reservation was confirmed for this condo. It was a great place to stay - from the friendly ladies in the office where I checked in, to the complex’s wonderful amenities which included tennis courts, pool, BBQ grills and kayak rental.
The condo was bright, clean, and inviting. When I first arrived, my stomach was growling, so I decided to cook up something to eat. The condo kitchen had everything needed for meal preparation.
While prowling through the place, I enjoyed unpacking in the large master bedroom. The other master was equally roomy as was the twin bedroom. I quickly discovered the closet which housed many convenient items to use at the beach and pool. In addition, I found some great books to read and games to play.
The condo's location was great - very quiet and just a short walk to Bowman beach. It's an awesome destination to enjoy your favorite beach activity. Add to your shell collection, take long walks, go for a jog, swim, fish, tan (bring plenty of sunscreen!), watch the birds or see a beautiful sunset. The condo was also convenient to shopping and dining in both Sanibel and Captiva.
If you're looking for a great place to vacation on Sanibel, you'll love this very comfortable vacation home.
