We have a wonderful vacation. This is our 12th year coming to Sanibel and this was one of the better vacation homes / experiences we had. The location, right on the beach is perfect. The views are to die for! The host, Jim, is an amazing person and super helpful. We had everything we needed to make a perfect, restful vacation. We’d recommend Jim and this property to anyone looking for a perfect vacation.

Week in Sanibel

We had a wonderful trip at Jim's property. He provided everything we needed for the beach, the location was great, and his communication with us was wonderful going into the trip. He was extremely knowledgeable in answering all of our questions which eliminated a lot of searching. We knew exactly what to expect and we had a wonderful time in Sanibel.

The townhouse is at the end of a quiet street and you can drive right into the garage. In the garage is a washer/dryer, pool floats, lots of beach chairs, umbrellas, beach wagon, small cooler, charcoal grill, fishing equipment, and bikes with helmets. There is a lanai adjoining the garage with a refrigerator and table/4chairs. An air conditioner can be turned on during use of the room that has patio doors leading to the deck, pool and beach path.Stairs lead up to the front door and into the living area with a well appointed kitchen, half bath, dining table for 6, plenty of seating in the living room with sliding doors that can be opened to listen to the ocean. Out a side door leads down stairs to the deck and beach.Upstairs are three bedrooms one king oceanfront with bath, a second king oceanfront and the third with twin beds. The second large bathroom is in the hallway. You can find plenty of beach towels in the closet along with iron and ironing board. Hairdryers are in each bathroom. Plenty of restaurants have opened back up on the island along with shopping. Jim, our host, was very informative about the area and called to make sure everything was to our liking.

We loved our stay at Jim's place. He is an excellent host and was easy to communicate with and gave great recommendations for the area. This condo is clean, the beds are very comfortable and there is everything you need for your time to relax on the beach ---chairs, umbrellas, sand toys, cart, cooler and beach towels. We hope to return next year!

Prime Location

This property is in a great location, right on the beach and close to restaurants and shopping. It’s also off the main road so you can usually avoid most of the traffic. We really enjoyed shelling on the beach and sitting by the pool. The condo was very clean and comfortable. The view of the beach/ocean was amazing. Bikes and beach gear provided. We hope to stay here again!

Lovely location!

Our family of 6 and our pup enjoyed a week in Jim’s townhome. The location was right on a wonderful shelling beach and right down the road from bike paths. Our children enjoyed the large pool shared by 4 townhomes. We rode bikes almost everywhere we went and we covered the whole island. Location was just a few minute bike ride to Jerry’s grocery store, shops, restaurants and ice cream. The home was clean and had had everything we needed to cook meals at home. Having the garage stocked with beach chairs, umbrellas, and bikes was so convenient. We hope to stay again!

Everything promised and MORE

From the moment we opened the door and saw the beautiful view of the Gulf, our time here was perfect. It seemed the owner had thought of everything: 2- 10x10 tents, tons of beach chairs, beach paraphernalia, beach cart, flashlights, bikes & helmets and the list could go on and on. We had a couple of minor issues but they were taken care of promptly. Can't say enough good things about this place and its owner. Thank you for an absolutely perfect vacation- can't wait to come back!!!

One of THE best...

with a party of 7 adults, we ALL absolutely loved the place, location (LITERALLY almost at the shore), and especially the owner & communications. He was reeling from damage from Helene, his care & response to get the place/amenities up & going was phenomenal! Unfortunately our stay was cut short by Hurricane Milton, however, we have already decided to return if possible in November. We HIGHLY recommend staying here. We'll be back for SURE!
