Map & Owner's Profile
Beach Cottage W/Pool, 3 BR/2BA, Free Wi-Fi
Year Purchased: 1996
Why the Owner Chose Gulf Beach
As newlyweds in 1979, we rented a lovely little duplex unit on the East End of Sanibel, also know as Old Town Sanibel. For the next 17 years, as our famiy grew, we returned to the same location year after year. When a cottage near our original vacation home was offered for sale, we did not hesitate to buy it. We named our new home away from home "Sea Winds Cottage". Sanibel has many unique areas but we have always loved the nearness of the historic Lighthouse and the quiet and peacefulness of the east end of Sanibel
The Unique Benefits at this House
Staying in a cottage like Sea Winds gives you the peace and quiet of a private home. Your own private swimming pool, quiet screened porch, and just 150 steps to the gulf waters. Eat out at one of the many great island restaurants or cook your own meals in the fully equipped kitchen. The fishing pier and historic Sanibel Lighthouse are only 1/2 mile from the cottage!
Owner's Map of Gulf Beach
Our family has vacationed on Sanibel Island since 1979 and in 1996 we were very fortunate to find and purchase a place of our own! Sea Winds Cottage is located in the quaint and quiet Old Town section of Sanibel. Since we are unable to spend all of our time on the island, we are happy to share our cottage with other folks that love the island as much as we do. We think that you will find Sea WInds Cottage a delightful "Home Away From Home".

We've stayed on Sanibel several times over the years, always in a condo. We were looking for a bit more space and a location with easy beach access for my elderly mother. We found exactly what we needed at SeaWinds Cottage. The location is terrific, house is clean and well equipped, and beach is an easy walk. Having use of a beach umbrella and chairs was a treat. The screened porch is a great place to dine al fresco or lounge and read a book. Unfortunately the weather wasn't quite warm enough for us to take advantage of the pool, but it was nice to look at! Our visit was over the Christmas holidays and we really appreciated the welcoming wreath and small lighted tree that greeted us when we opened the door. A very Merry Christmas indeed. Hope to return again one day.

Peaceful, Relaxing Vacation Home

We went to Sanibel to relax and were not disappointed! This was a lovely home in a very peaceful setting. In our opinion, you couldn't get a better location: quiet, close to the beach, very private. At Micca's suggestion, we had Billy's Bike Rentals deliver bikes to the home and we biked around the Island on the numerous paths. The full kitchen and grill allowed us to enjoy our meals at home on the patio or around the dining room table. With three full bedrooms, we all had plenty of room. The home was impeccably clean and maintained. Pool toys, beach toys, lounge chairs, beach chairs and umbrellas were at our disposal. During the evening we enjoyed the movies and books that line the shelves of the living room. Clear instructions have been given for the home and plenty of information regarding tourism of the Island and food establishments. We would highly recommend this VRBO and have already done so to many of our friends.

This place is truly a "home away from home"! It is very well equipped with ANYTHING you might need on your vacation. The beds are all comfortable and the kitchen lacks nothing. Very convenient location on the quiet end of the island. The pool is very well kept and the house is just "steps" from the beach.

Sea Winds Cottage was the perfect place for our family to stay while on Sanibel. It was clean, spacious, quiet, and had everything we needed (and more). When the owners heard we would have our 2 yr old granddaughter with us, they had everything we would need for a toddler already set up. The owners and caretaker were friendly and helpful. We will definitely stay there again. It is a perfect home for a family, or even for a couple on a romantic getaway.

I actually avoid telling people where I go on my annual two-week vacation. I LOVE the calm, quiet, slow-pace of the island and I LOVE staying at the Seawinds Cottage! I don't want more people populating this restful, relaxing haven. The owners offer all the amenities one would want: a clean, well-maintained property with a well-stocked kitchen (blender, dishes, etc.), library, pool, and screened porch. All instructions are received well in advance of your stay so you'll have no surprises, only helpful information!

PERFECT location on Sanibel Island FL -- easy walking distance to the beach, a few shops & good restaurants! The bath rooms & bedrooms are roomy & comfortable. Great screened in deck & swimming pool. Large kitchen & laundry room on the main floor is a plus! Newly added WIFI! Only negative is that the living room furniture could be more comfortable & television is small and complicated! All & all a fantastic place to vacation!

We are on our third year at the Cottage and plan to have many more to come. The property is very well maintained and full of amenities. The pictures do not show the space this place has- plenty of room...even with a gaggle of small children. The beach is just a short walk from the front door- and the shower out by the pool makes it easy to wash off the kiddos! The kitchen has everything-as we cook/grill every night. We have recommended this house several times to family friends...it is by far the best place we have stayed on the island in our total 25 years coming to Sanibel! If you don't stay here you will be missing out!
