My family spent Christmas with my parents at The Sanibel Vacation Hideaway Home and had a wonderful time. There was lots of space and sleeping options. Living room and dining room was spacious and cozy. The outdoor furniture on the deck and patio was nice and relaxing. Each morning we enjoyed sitting on the deck drinking coffee, overlooking the pool and listening to the birds in the surrounding trees. The neighborhood is nice and quiet. Our daily routine was heading to the beach and then back home to swim all afternoon in the nice big pool. The storage room was filled with pool and beach toys for my kids to enjoy. We even enjoyed riding the bikes around the island. We had a lovely visit and I can’t wait to come back next year!

Delightful as usual. We have rented the house for 6 consecutive years. Convenient, quiet neighborhood, good amenities, good location close to beach, and kid friendly.

We are repeat visitors to this lovely vacation house. We instantly feel at home as soon as we step through the door. The house decor is 'islandy'. I especially like the art on the wall (the owner is an accomplished artist). The house is bright and clean, the vaulted ceiling in the living area and lights are charming. Kitchen is well appointed and has everything we needed to keep us happy. The community is quiet and private and a 5 minute walk to the beautiful beach. Love walking here in the mornings and also doing some shell gathering. The lanai is fabulous - great for morning coffee, breakfast, dinner and cocktails. The grill is where most of the dinners are cooked. We love sitting out here at sunset, listening to the wildlife. The owners have hung 2 bird houses for nesting birds with babies or those just stopping overnight. We were treated to baby owls - so precious, and also baby grackles in the palm tree near the lanai. Probably the most surprising was watching the woodpecker 'check in ' to the bird house every night at 8:20 and 'check out' at 6:20 in the morning. You have to be watching - it's quick. Being surrounded by nature is so amazing. Who knows what you’ll see. You can learn so much from it. We loved the pool. Spent time in in every day and some nights too - lighting is lovely. Very relaxing - there are chaise lounges and a bar table to hang out, eat, drink and be merry! Bikes are provided - there are miles and miles of biking trails to roam. I recommend visiting Ding Darling National Wildlife Refuge. You can drive or bike through and observe numerous species of birds. It's very beautiful. 2 restaurants we visited for the first time: The Island Cow - fabulous breakfast at a very unique place with great service The Green Flash in Captiva - first time we were here. Good food and a gorgeous view of the water. What you really need to know: Sanibel is an amazing place, the house is the perfect home away from home, and enjoy the wildlife no matter where you find it. Get out and bike around the island. It's a perfect vacation.

Our month at this home at hideaway ct in Sanibel this year was the most enjoyable and relaxing as any place we have stayed. The home is beautifully furnished and kept well looked after. The pool is a huge bonus for us and our family who visit. We find that we can’t wait to come back every year to stay here and just relax in the surroundings and the peace and quiet of the neighborhood . A 5 min. Walk to the beach is ideal and the use of the bikes is much appreciated. We treat this home as if it was our own . We recommend this particular home to anyone that wants to enjoy a relaxing vacation time with themselves or family and friends. We will continue to come back and stay here.

After surviving hurricane Irma and a week's delay in getting there we had a great stay at the this property. Location is fantastic unbelievably quiet and secluded and only min's to the very private and beautiful beach by bike. The property provides everything you require for your stay, private beach access and only a short drive to all the amenities you are likely to require, shops, supermarket and great restaurants. My only negative comments which didn't impact our stay, are that the furniture and décor are looking a little tired and could do with a makeover to make this a truly first class property. This is just an observation based on other properties I have stayed in and didn't impact our stay in any way. The owners were very helpful and responsive when contacted. Sanibel is certainly a wonderful island and this property provides an ideal location to explore it's many charms.

Already our second stay in this lovely House. Very nice Pool and 5 minute walk to the beach. Good equiped and furnished. Bikes are available at the house. Looking forward to come back.

We just love this home! It's decor is bright and beachy! We love the tropical plants and orchids on the deck and hanging off the palm trees! We were visited by a large turtle and a bobcat that were outside the screened house area. It just added to our stay.

I love this property. It's perfect for my husband, daughter and I. A lot of attention is paid to detail in the furnishing and decorating of the home. The living area inside is a lovely beach feeling living - dining - kitchen that runs the length of the house. The high ceilings are lovely. The outside living space - the lanai - overlooks the pool. It's where we dined most evenings. We made use of the outdoor grill for a lot of our meals. The kitchen was well appointed in small conveniences such as a Keurig and drip coffee maker. The lanai and pool are caged and the whole area is surrounded by majestic palms and foliage. Hideaway is the perfect word to describe the home. It has a private aura that I love coming from a very busy place. I walked most mornings on the beach which is a 5 minute walk from the house. Sunsets are spectacular on the beach. Bikes are available at the house. There are numerous paths on which to enjoy them. I recommend The Lazy Flamingo for dining - the raw oysters were the best I had on the island. I also enjoyed Doc Fords. Looking forward to returning next year.

A Coconut Hideaway has much to recommend it. The interior is comfortable and airy. Private too, thanks to the foliage surrounding the house. My daughter and I spent the hot April afternoons in the nicely-cooled living room, relaxing with books, a jigsaw puzzle or our laptops. We also enjoyed the available bikes which were in good shape and comfy. We loved the Sea Oats neighborhood which is quiet, unpretentious, and super friendly. It is a mere ten-minute walk to the beach from the house. It's a good location because the beaches on the west end are less developed and there is some excellent shelling.

My wife and I recently enjoyed a fantastic month at cocoanut hideaway as it is called in the Sea Oats addition. The house is a paradise oasis and we treated it as if It was our own. The screen in pool, the beautiful Lanai, the short walk to the beach, the tropical palm trees and other foliage , makes it a place you never have to leave to enjoy yourself. Everything is kept up in excellent condition, it shows the owners take pride in offering their home to others. We had our family down for a week and they all had a beautiful time. The bikes were a big hit! We will be back next year and would love to stay 2 months.

Lots to do for nature lovers, beachcombers and shell collectors, swimmers, bird watchers, bicyclers, and kayakers. Comfortable, well-appointed house near beach with good pool which all ages can enjoy.

When planning our return to Sanibel Island and considering where to stay it was a unanimous family decision to return to the Coconut Hideaway. The West Gulf Drive location in our opinion is the best on the island. It is an easy walk to the beach, a short drive or 20 minute cycle along Rabbit Road to Doc Ford’s (until it relocates!), and not far from Jerry’s or Bailey’s for the best fresh steak, fish and shrimp to cook yourself on the gas BBQ. This central location is perfect for shopping and restaurants along Periwinkle Way and in the other direction Captiva is only 30 minutes away by car at 30 MPH! The Mucky Duck and Bowman’s Beach is a must visit for sun set lovers, but on a clear evening the sunset from the local Beach Access #1 is just as beautiful. The Coconut Hideaway is a home from home – with everything you need for a very comfortable stay on this paradise island. For the social media addicts and those who want to keep in touch with their email and video web streams the free Internet access is more than adequate. What more can I say that I haven’t said before, except … ><(((*> WE’RE BACK! Back to the Sanibel Causeway, Sea Shells, Sun Sets, the Beaches and Gulf Sea Breeze. Back to Manatee, Egrets, Brown Pelican and soaring Osprey’s. Back to Doc Ford Red Snapper, Grouper, Mojito’s and Pizza at the Great White Grill. Back to provisions from Jerry’s and Bailey’s, and kayaking the Tarpon Bay Commodore Creek Trail. Back to cycling Ding Darling, Bailey Tract, Rabbit Road alligator alley and West Gulf Drive. Back to sunsets at Bowman’s, the Mucky Duck and Starbucks for a caffeine revive. Back to She Sells Sea Shells, Sanibel Lighthouse and an Island Cinema movie. Back to Among the Flowers for a detox and the coolest smoothie. Back to the Island Cow breakfast and Pinocchio’s Ice Cream – need I say why! Back to Jensen’s Marina where Manatee graze and Manta Ray fly. Back to boating the Pine Island Sound, from Port Sanibel Marina to Cayo Costa Beach. Back to spotting dolphin in the brackish waters breach. Back to cooling off in the pool and grilling steak ‘n’ shrimp to complete a perfect day. Back to the brief summer rain that bring tree frogs a chirping and out to play. Back at our Coconut Hideaway, our perfect borrowed home on this paradise isle. Then back home to the UK, Wokingham England, until the next time! <*)))><

This June we spent our third vacation at the coconut hideaway. We love the location of this property as it is located very near a quiet stretch of beach. The home comes equipped with umbrella, wagons and chairs, which were perfect. The pool is absolutely perfect and our two little ones loved washing off the sand in the outdoor shower then jumping in the pool. The island eating was great as always although I was treated very poorly at the Blue Giraffe(maybe a complete misunderstanding, but will not return). The clam shack, pink flamingo, doc fords, George & Wendy's and traditions were all fantastic and as expected. My family has been to many beaches and this home on this island is always where we return for the ultimate peaceful rejuvenating vacation. Owners Mel and Stan are also fantastic!

I always enjoy the time I spend in this beautiful home on Sanibel Island. The location is excellent, affording easy access to the beach and wildlife conservation area. The home is surrounded by beautiful palm trees and vegetation. Inside it was well maintained, comfortable and airy. I loved spending time on the balcony, especially in the morning enjoying my coffee. The private , caged pool was wonderful. I look forward to returning next year.

Always a treat to stay there!
