This house is beautifully appointed with everything you need for a great stay at the beach. Beach views from the kitchen and master bedroom make it a wonderful experience whether you’re on the beach or in the house. The master bath is a sight to behold…beautiful. The beach itself was uncrowded and we never felt the need to go to other beaches for shelling because we found so many right out the back door. We really enjoyed the pool and lanai as well. During our stay, the pool was regularly cleaned and the lawn maintained by landscapers. We have already booked a second stay for next year. The kitchen has everything you need, including really nice cookware and all the right utensils and equipment. The house had some items for our use on the beach, like chairs & a beach cart. If serenity, beauty and rest are what you need, I cannot recommend this highly enough. Or, you can make it an active adventuring stay and have a beautiful place to return to every night. Whatever you do, bring the proper repellant for noseeums. They are a nuisance to be sure, but even with an extreme allergy to them, Sanibel is worth every bite!!
