We've been vacationing on Sanibel for 25 years, and we were grateful to find something available so soon after Hurricane Ian. This was our first stay on the western end of the island, which gave us the opportunity to bike to places we wouldn't normally explore on a bike, which was fun. The home was located in a very quiet neighborhood. It had a spacious, open design with plenty of room for our family of 5. The screened in pool provided hours of fun for our children and there was convenient access to Bowman's Beach, Blind Pass, Ding Darling, Crow, the Shell Museum, and Captiva.
The owner was always very responsive to our questions, and we greatly appreciated being able to have our pets (1 cat and 1 dog) with us on vacation. We cook a lot when we are on vacation, so it would have been nice to have a dishwasher; and the DVD player was missing, but beyond that the home was exactly as described and we enjoyed our stay. Thanks!
