About this property

On The Ground - NO STAIRS - Walk to Beach / Close to Causeway

Professionally remodeled post Ian with nothing left unturned. Immaculate and affordable duplex located a short walk to Sanibel beaches. 2 bedrooms (1 queen & 2 twins) / 1 bathroom with private laundry, outdoor shower and off-street parking (pricing is for one unit only). Located just a 5-minute walk from Nerita beach and less than 1 mile from the causeway make getting to the beach or on/off the island a breeze! (who wants to spend their vacation sitting in traffic on Periwinkle?) Private outdoor lanai allows a nice place to relax with ample privacy. Walk to nearby beaches, restaurants and shops or sit on property reading a book (high speed WIFI included for those who want to read Facebook or watch Netflix). Fully furnished, including full kitchen and outdoor grill. No stairs make it easily accessible from the car. This home makes an affordable on island vacation a reality. We used to rent our home prior to Ian and had 5 star reviews from all of our guests!

Loved the location!

My husband and I enjoyed our time in your place emencly. We were very comfortable. It was a nice walk or a sort bike ride to the beach. We were so appreciative of the bikes & beach gear available to us. We were able to explore the Island and looked at many homes as we are looking to re locate to the Island.

I can’t say enough about how much we enjoyed this property! It was incredibly clean and beautifully decorated-so many gorgeous details. The kitchen has everything you could possibly need to make all of your meals (there’s a fantastic grill outside, as well). The washer and dryer are big and ran like new. The location is perfect and the neighborhood is quiet. The beach is just a short walk from the house and we appreciated having the beach cart to use. Alex is so incredibly kind and helpful, and answered any questions we had VERY quickly. I HIGHLY recommend staying here!!

Wow what a great time we had at this property in Sanibel!!Alex was fantastic at communicating, we had a slight hiccup with the wifi but a quick txt soon sorted it.The place was spotlessly clean and smelt fantastic, none of the cleaning product smell you can get sometimes.Kitchen had everything needed and more.Bed was comfy.Beach was about 10 min walk.Very quiet.Easy bike ride or walk to bars, restaurants, shops.What made this place a step up from others we have stayed in is the amount of little extras that Alex provided such as spices, food wrap, paper products, hand soap etc that add up to a fair bit on the shopping bill. Also this is the first place we have stayed in that provided a kettle for a cuppa.Brilliant!We would definitely recommend Alex’s place and would stay again.Thanks Alex.

March on Sanibel

We really enjoyed our stay! The house was clean and had everything we needed. The beds were comfy as well! The backyard was very private and so nice to hang out in. Our favorite thing was the outdoor shower!! We never took indoor showers. One disappointment was that the gas grill was empty of gas. It would have been nice if it was full. It is a short walk to the beach 5-6 min. The provided beach chairs were great! We want to buy some just like them for ourselves. Wish we could have reserved for next season. Reasonable pricing as well.

A gem of a place

This is a wonderful rental for Sanibel. Quiet location, immaculately clean and well equipped. It’s in a great spot to explore all parts of the island. Very close to the bike trails and at most a five minute walk to a beach entrance. Within easy distances to Jerry’s supermarket and plenty of restaurants on Periwinkle. Fishing bait shops also are nearby, as are nature trails. The owners were great at checking in and helping us. I highly recommend this rental to families or couples.

Lovely Stay

Our family spent two weeks at this property in June of 2021. We loved the cozy, clean cottage. The landscaping was lovely. The property is a short walk to the beach. It wouldn't be ideal for someone who wanted steps to the beach, but we were happy to be in a neighborhood. The property owner, Alex, was very easy to work with. The house had thoughtful touches, such as many essentials and a first-aid kit. It even had extra dog toys for our furry family members. We enjoyed our stay.

We stayed for a week but wished it could have been longer! The house is very quiet and tucked away, while also incredibly close to beach and Periwinkle. There are bikes, beach toys, galore and an excellent outside patio for relaxing. Will definitely be returning!

Precisely What We Ordered

Conveniently located just a short walk to the beach and Periwinkle Dr. (main street with plenty of restaurants, shopping, grocery stores, etc.), this vacation rental was the perfect and safe retreat during the COVID-19 pandemic. We found everything we could possibly need at this well-stocked home (towels, bedding, kitchen utensils, beach gear) and nearby for our stay of more than two weeks. We enjoyed the safe neighborhood, great location and really appreciated the kindness and availability of our host, Alex. The home could have been cleaned a bit better but I am a clean freak of sorts with allergies. Overall, I would highly recommend this home to anyone seeking a pleasant and convenient stay on Sanibel Island.
