Awesome Stay
House is even better than the pictures. Completely redone, so everything is new and immaculate. It is easy walking distance to the beach and we also used the pool and spa a lot. The house was great for family gatherings. Amy was super to deal with. Very attentive and even though we didn't have any problems, I know she would have resolved them quickly if we had. The island is coming back to life and this house is a great way to enjoy it. thanks Amy!

June Family Vacation
Had a perfect week on sanibel. We had a group of 8, 7 adults and a 9yo granddaughter. The house was perfect, location was great. Beautiful home less than 100 yards to the beach. Tons of space, pool is great. Would definitely go back. We had some minor air conditioning issue, we contacted the owner who had someone come immediately on a Sunday to fix. Owners were very responsive and helpful.

Perfect for our family!
Perfectly located. Just a short walk to the beach, right on a bike trail and close to town. The kids loved the pool and the kitchen was perfect for cooking and eating. We didn’t have any issues while we were there and the owners were very communicative and helpful with any questions. Only down side, was only staying for a week!
