I love staying at Bella. It’s like an oasis away from the hustle and bustle but a short distance from all the shopping you could even walk if you wanted to and a short distance from the beach, Bella Sarah provides transportation so you don’t have to worry about parking and also the beach chairs and umbrella and towels, this is a wonderful beautiful property with very thoughtful amenities

The property was very nice. Still rebuilding after the hurricane, main pool was under construction, secondary pool was open. Skeleton staff as it is not peek season. Make sure to bring bug spray, there are little mosquitos that are around all day in Sanibel and Captiva Island. They are actually insane, not eager to return to this area of FL.
