Wonderful Peace
Absolutely fantastic! The pictures does not do this place justice. It is beautiful and so peaceful. We have never been to a cleaner place outside and in. The island did not disappoint. Everywhere we went people were so pleasant. We will be returning!

My family and I used to come to Sanibel moorings when I was a little girl up until highschool. We hadn’t been back in years and this stay was exactly what I remembered — quiet, calm, relaxing and just wonderful. We can’t wait to make this a family tradition again!

Excellent
This condo gave us the perfect island experience. Being right on the beach yet on the second level meant we had amazing views of the water while still feeling tucked away and peaceful. The balcony quickly became our favorite spot to watch the waves and enjoy the breeze. Inside, everything was arranged with care, making it easy to settle in and feel at home. The location made beach days effortless, and the host's attentive communication ensured our stay was smooth from start to finish. It's the kind of place that makes you want to come back again and again.

Amazing location
This house was exactly what we expected. The location on the canal was perfect, with frequent signing of manatee and dolphins right in front of the home. We were able to ride our bikes to the shell harbour's beach on the ocean as well as the lighthouse beach. The island is very bike friendly, with a dedicated bike/walking path along the main road. While we were there we rented a boat and kept it docked in front of the house which was very convenient.
We stayed in the home for a month and I was worried about sleeping in another bed for that long. No need to worry, both the king size beds were very comfortable. The trundle bed and the extra twin in the den however was not very comfortable. We only used this for 2 nights, I think we would have preferred a blow up in the den.
The kitchen had everything we needed for all the meals we prepared and the grill outside was used frequently. The appliances were a little dated but functional. I loved being able to eat dinner outside in the screened in porch while watching for animals and boats going by. We had waterfront dining every night! Also having a private pool was great for playing with the grandkids.
Sharon at Cottages to Castles was very responsive during our stay. She kept us updated on deliveries, as new furniture was delivered.
Overall we were delighted with this home and would definitely stay here again

Perfect!
Jean is a wonderful host to a delightful cottage on Sanibel's East End. The cottage was absolutely the perfect place to stay for a month. It felt like home. Not a condo experience, instead, the cottage feels like living on the island. It is well stocked with everything and Jean is friendly, there to help or answer questions, and very accomodating, but then you are free to explore. You are easy walking distance to the bayside. Low tide especially is a good time to walk all around the tip of the island, see the fishing pier, the lighthouse, and over to the Gulf. There is direct access to the Gulfside, across the street. It is a further walk, but certainly easy enough. You can also walk to restaurants (breakfast at the Lighthouse Cafe or lunch at the East End Deli are both good) and shops. There are two nice bikes to help explore further. The pool area is close by, well maintained, and not busy.
The back porch bedroom is quite cozy with a beautiful view of tropical plants. It really is a second bedroom just fine. The master bed is very comfortable. The air conditioner works well. The kitchen is small, yes, but cute and easy to use and well-equipped. The front porch is perfect for coffee in the morning, but so is the tropical breakfast nook. Really, you can't go wrong. I wanted to stay forever. If you are looking for a home away, Casa Blanca cottage is perfect!
