About the area

Sanibel

Located near the beach, this holiday home is in West End, a neighbourhood in Sanibel. While the natural beauty of Sanibel Island Southern Beach and Bowman's Beach can be enjoyed by anyone, those looking for an activity can explore Key West Express. Consider Lighthouse Restaurant & Bar for a night out or Sanibel Captiva Conservation Foundation if you're travelling with kids. Jet skiing and kayaking offer great chances to get out on the surrounding water, or you can seek out an adventure with ecotours and hiking/biking trails nearby.

We came to Sanibel for a family vacation. The property was amazing and was very well appointed. We had plenty of room. It was steps away from its own private beach. The host was easily accessible and very helpful. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it.

The house was amazing, and Mike was a great communicator. We could really tell it was important to him that we had a great time and had everything we needed. Close proximity to everything, and a great place to relax. My family had a great time, and we really couldn't have asked for more!

Our stay was absolutely amazing! This home is fully stocked for everything you could possibly need. The kitchen was fully stocked along with a plethora of books available for some down time reading. It was also great having two wings of bedrooms to give our group space so we wouldnt be on top of each other. The separate living areas with the kitchen was also quite ideal. The neighborhood was great with very friendly people. The private beach access was also such a nice feature that made things significantly easier and more relaxing. I would definitely consider going back if I'm going with a group of 10 or so again!

Great Vacation Stay and Pet Friendly

We absolutely loved this place. It had everything and more we need for our stay which made it a relaxing stay. So much to do and the fruit trees were an added bonus. See so many people with their pets in the neighbor was comforting as well. We can't wait to stay again and have told many of our friends about it.

About the host

Hosted by Mike Palmer

Host profile image
In my work, I travel the world, but Sanibel is by far the most uniquely tranquil, aesthetically pleasing, area I've ever visited

Why they chose this property

Located 400 yards from our private beach, with magnificent shelling, this is one of the few single family homes on Sanibel that is licensed to lease for periods of less than 30 days.

What makes this property unique

No traffic lights, miles and miles of bike paths. Great shelling on our private beach. We supply bikes for free, along with beach chairs, blankets, coolers, beach toys for the kids.
Casual restaurants with fantastic food. Year round sunshine.
