This home is walking distance to Nerita beach and really convenient to the Causeway and central Sanibel restaurants and services. The beds were comfy, the neighborhood was peaceful, and the pool was a lovely mid-afternoon respite. Our hosts were attentive and we appreciated their quick response when we had any questions. We would definitely stay in this home again.

Beautiful, relaxing beach home. We had a fantastic vacation!

Our 1st trip to Sanibel could not have been better! This beach house was so relaxing and the owner has thought of everything to make you feel right at home. The first of many Sanibel trips and fantastic memories for us. Can't wait to book our next stay.

We loved it!!! So clean and pretty and cozy. We used the porch constantly, it was lovely. The pool was perfect and at least one of us was out there any time we were home. The location is incredible. We walked to the beach in minutes, to a nearby Tiki Bar for great drinks and food. We walked to the icecream Magic Bus shop. Almost we could have walked to golf course!! We walked up to Periwinkle through Beach road, right to the Lighthouse Cafe for breakfast. We walked down the road to frequently see manatees eating… We grilled a few times too and it worked well. It is a lovely home and John was very kind and helpful with any needs or questions we had, as was Graciela when I was looking to rent it. A perfect getaway close to everything!!

I am glad you loved it! I know beds/mattresses are very personal! Some people like them firm and others don't so it is difficult to please everyone. That being said, the size of the beds are what is published on this website under the property description, that is, one queen (master), one full size (second bedroom), and two extra long twin sizes (children), plus a sleep sofa downstairs which is a full size. It's always best to double check amenities ahead of booking. I still hope you will come back and see us! :)

Terrific location

We’ve stayed on the island many times, and prefer this neighborhood - close to restaurants and shopping, close to the bridge, can bike anywhere, and the beach is only a short walk away. And this house in particular is very private, because it is on a road with a dead end. Very good communication with the owner, and the kitchen has all the pots and pans and knives you need to cook your own meals.

Wonderful Visit to Sanibel and Elinor Way Stay

My husband and I loved the location of this cute home. It was close to beaches and a short bike ride to town. We enjoyed the nice yard, the large master suite, and the open floor plan. Our bed was very comfortable, and the linens and towels were plenty and of good quality. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking equipment. We even threw a dinner party for friends. We would be happy to come again.

Even better than expected

My husband, 2-year-old and I had a lovely month at Elinor Cottage! It was a quick 10-minute walk to the beach and 2-min drive out to the main road to get to the grocery store, playground, library etc. Everything was clean and spacious, leaving us plenty of living area to be inside on days where the weather wasn’t as nice. We especially enjoyed taking lunch breaks on the large screened-in porch, sleeping in the comfortable king-sized bed in the primary suite, and using the pool on warmer days. Highly recommend!

Great home in paradise!

From first to communication to checking in on us during a tornado to needing a favor after we left the hosts were outstanding. After having stayed in several VRBOs quality of hosts is as important as the property. This house is in a great quiet location minutes from the beach and on the East Gulf path! The home itself was great for four adults but is set up for family with kids! Great well maintained pool. Cant say enough.

First post-hurricane Ian Sanibel holiday.

The property is private, quaintly decorated, giving a very cozy feel. It is well-equipped, including with its own well-maintained pool. Graciela was very promptly responsive to a few problems that arose, seemingly because of repairs that had been needed following the hurricane, and so, despite the challenges of trades people having to negotiate terrible causeway traffic delays, all of our concerns were quickly addressed. We had a lovely holiday.

Location is convenient but imperfect

Good: Spacious with good storage, comfortable beds, large screened porch, close to beach and shops, fast internet, included a decent supply of bath and dish soap, shampoo, conditioner and toilet paper, included 2 bikes, 2 beach chairs and a beach umbrella. Bad: Pervasive bad smell from nearby wastewater plant, insufficient quantity of dishes & silverware, pool deck lacks shade, some minor maintenance issues, we were given an incorrect door code and couldn't get in when we arrived.

Mixed review.

The villa was lovely and in a good location. The main living area and master bedroom were very nice. The kitchen and bathrooms were fine and the upstairs porch was good. The swimming pool however, needs work. The bottom of the pool is starting to crack and some of the cement was coming apart. Sometimes sore to stand on. During our stay we also had a couple of problems. The toilet in the main bathroom had an issue where the water was constantly running. This was very annoying at night when trying to sleep. This was fixed in a couple of days. Following a heavy storm, the ceiling in the 2nd bedroom started to leak. We requested this be fixed, but it took the roofers nearly a week and two trips to sort it. This meant we had to sleep on the fold down bed in the downstairs area for a few nights. So, in summary, a nice villa in a good area, but there is some maintenance required to make it spectacular.

Response from VrboOwner on 1 Apr, 2020
Thank you for your review. We apologize for the inconvenience during your visit and hope that the free 10-day extended stay compensated somewhat your troubles. The toilet issue was solved as soon possible and it was a simple fix. Per our messages, you first contacted me about the roof on 7/31, the roofer went the next day, on 8/1 and thought that he fixed it. You then told us the night of 8/1 that the leak continued so the roofer went back to fix it 2 days later as he was out of town those days but he repaired it on 8/3, so the total time was 3 days. I will be happy to share with you our message trail available on this site. About the pool, I am surprised there was an issue as our guests always tell us how nice the pool is but we will surely check into this. Again, we appreciate your stay and your feedback!

About the host

Hosted by Graciela

Host profile image
After living in SW Florida for 18 years, we moved to Texas in 2013. It was very soon that we started missing the beautiful beaches and amazing weather that Florida has to offer. We decided to come back and can not wait to spend time on this beautiful island!!

Why they chose this property

We wanted the typical island architectural home style and it needed to be on a large lot as we all enjoy privacy. The home is located in a cul-de-sac so there is no through traffic. We preferred a pool that was not screened so we can enjoy the sea breezes and the open feel! Also, being a short walk to the one of most beautiful beaches we know was a must! We look forward to having our guests enjoy this home as much as we do and will!
