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 on Sanibel is a perfect place to stay on the island.

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.

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!

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!

Sea Winds cottage was perfect!!! Cozy, so close to beach, and clean. We truly loved our vacation there. We never left the Island all week! Rented bikes from Billys and rode to grocery and breakfast at the Island Cow, and each night after dinner for ice cream at Pinnochios. The Pool was nice after a day at the beach. collection of movies and books was wonderful. I recommend a day at Tarpoon Bay on a pontoon boat, we saw manatees and a stingray. We definitely would return!

uik,This is our third year at Seawinds and we love it more each time. I had seen it from the outside for many visits to Sanibel but it was never available until 2008 for the time we wanted it. The house is comfortqble and well appointed. A large livingroom/dining area is an inviting place for all to gather but the porch and pool are nice when you want to read or be away from the group. The beach is a stone's throw away there are beach chairs and an umbrella available. The shelling is fun and the BIG Arts gallery and theater offers many intersting activities. There is good shopping and the restaurants offer varied menus in a casual atmosphere. Of course you can't miss Ding Darling Preserve and the SCCF and CROW for nature lovers.

We rate our stay with 5 stars plus! The property is located near the end of a quiet cul de sac street and is spotless, up to date, and very roomy. Just my wife and I were there, but there is plenty of room for more! The Great Room is very large and the attached screened porch is a wonderful way to spend time. AND, the beach is practically right out the door since this is the second house from the end of the street. Out the door, turn right and you will have sand on your toes in about 150 feet! It is convenient to everything on the Island and we never left Sanibel for the week we were there. We have reserved a week for January, 2012, and are looking forward to it. We just hope the FL weather is a little warmer next season!
