Paula was great and the unit was perfect! It had a good view of the beach and a very short walk ( 1-2 minutes) and you were on the beach. Unit was very well stocked with everything you could need to cook in the kitchen.Will be coming back for sure!

I'm really happy you had a good visit. It's extra nice because the island is kind of quiet right now, so you feel like you have a lot of it to yourself.
I would love to welcome you back anytime. You know how to find me. Have a fun and safe holiday season. How is it going to be 2026 already!!
Room overlooks the beach. The host had thought literally of everything you could want including bicycles and shell buckets and needle and thread.

You found the needle and thread? Lol. I can't really take credit for that. Another guest left it but I decided it was a great idea and left it.
Glad you enjoyed your stay. Have a fun and safe holiday season. I hope to see you sometime in the future.
Thanks for being great guests.
Location was great; just a few steps from the beach. Very clean and all the amenities were great! Looking forward to booking again and coming back soon.
Perfect location. Photos are just like it really is. Had one small issue but owner was right on it. Will definitely stay here again. Very nicely decorated.
This condo was beautiful and Paula is an amazing host! She makes she her guests are cared for and her property is the cleanest we have stayed at through Vrbo. Highly recommend!
My husband and I loved our stay at Sanibel Delight. The property was perfect for our needs, clean and well supplied. We took advantage of the bikes as well, they were perfect for exploring around. Best of all, the distance to the beach cannot be beaten! Lastly, Paula is a great hostess, very communicative and helpful. We’re definitely looking to go back!!
This condo was a great choice and was exactly as we expected. It had a well appointed kitchen with everything you'll need except food. It was very clean, updated and nicely decorated. The amenities of this property are excellent, especially the storage closet with beach and pool accessories along with bikes. Paula our host was easy to communicate with and prompt with replies. We definitely will rent this again.

I am happy you had a good stay and look forward to seeing you again.
This unit is very nice, well appointed, and well stocked. Anything you need for the beach is provided, it made our stay more comfortable. And the VIEW, just amazing! You can’t go wrong with the easy access to the beach, it’s so close you can come back to the unit for anything you need within two minutes. And it’s centrally located to all the great spots on Sanibel. This will be our go-to place from now on.The owner is very friendly and communicative, a true pleasure to work with.

About the host
Hosted by Paula Reiss
I grew up in Louisville, KY. My mother always called me 'nature girl'. From my youngest photos, I seemed to always have an animal nearby. I spent most of my life working with animals in one capacity or another, so when I visited a friend on Sanibel and discovered the natural beauty of the place, I was hooked.
Why they chose this property
In the mid 1980's, I took a job working at C.R.O.W (Care and Rehabilitation of Wildlife), the wildlife rehabilitation hospital on Sanibel. I got to know the island and it's unique, nature - friendly attitudes. I left that job after a couple of years but continued to vacation on Sanibel, regularly. I never found any place else that brought me the peace and tranquility of this island. It is a special place.
What makes this property unique
I searched for several years before finding just the right property. When I opened the front door and saw the phenomenal view, I knew my search was over. Although it is not technically beachfront, it's pretty darn close! This condo has everything I looked for on my vacations, washer/dryer, comfortable sized rooms, large screened lanai. Add to that the fact that nothing can ever be built in front of the unit, to spoil the view, I was sold. Although I am more of a beach person, it is nice to have a pool right outside the building and the complex is NOT next to a public beach, so it isn't crowded.
The 4th floor location makes it safe to sleep with the doors open, listening to the surf. It is a truly great place to spend time.
