After visiting the Sanibel/Captiva area many times in the past, we wanted to try something different for our first post-Covid visit. During those previous vacations, we would stay In Captiva at a historic hotel with cottages. Wanting to give staying in Sanibel a try, we found this lovely condo listed on Vrbo, and we are so glad that we did!
The property is well-kept and immaculate, as well as being gorgeous. The entire property is very quiet, being set-off from the main road. The pool was warm, clean and never crowded. The boardwalk to the lovely beach, and its many beautiful shells, is wonderful. Other renters and homeowners at the property were pleasant and friendly, and the convenience of the location cannot be understated. It is just minutes from food shopping, fresh ice cream, and wonderful local restaurants. It is also just minutes from eco-tourism, including nature boat rides, a wildlife rehabilitation center, and the J.N. "Ding" Darling National Wildlife Refuge.
The condo itself is attractive, clean, immaculate and fresh. The kitchen is well supplied. The comfortable and roomy master bedroom overlooks the patio and its Gulf and beach views. The master bathroom has a lovely walk-in shower. We enjoyed many a meal on the screened patio. The patio area provides great views of the pool area, the boardwalk to the beach, and the Gulf of Mexico. We saw many different birds, hares, tortoises, and lizards, as well as dolphins in the Gulf.
And all were seen right from the patio!
The photos provided with the listing do not do justice to the beauty of this property. We will definitely return to this little piece of Sanibel paradise!
