Welcome to The Palm House, a three-level island home on Sanibel's quiet west end, tucked behind tall palms on a large circular driveway and backing onto a peaceful mangrove canal. It is made for longer stays of 28 nights or more: fully furnished, utilities included, with high-speed Wi-Fi and room for the whole family to spread out.

YOUR OWN PRIVATE RESORT
Step out to the screened, heated pool, framed by palms and tropical plants, with a paver deck, sun loungers and a fringed umbrella for shady afternoons. Lanais and balconies wrap the house on every level, so there is always a breezy spot for morning coffee or an evening glass of wine: an outdoor dining lanai for six, a sitting lanai high in the treetops, and a private balcony off the primary suite. At the end of the day, climb to the rooftop deck and watch the sun sink into the Gulf over the island's greenery. Down at the water, the home's own dock sits on a quiet mangrove canal, a lovely place to sit quietly and watch the island's birds and wildlife.

INSIDE THE HOME
The bright, open living room has ceiling fans, wood floors and soft coastal furnishings, and flows straight into the kitchen and dining area so everyone stays together. Home cooks will love the chef's kitchen: a professional gas range with a stainless hood, a built-in stainless refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, granite counters, a mosaic backsplash and a large island with seating for five. Gather for dinner at the round table for six under a capiz-shell chandelier, or have a casual breakfast in the sunny nook with bench seating. A quiet desk nook makes remote work easy, and the laundry room with a full-size washer and dryer keeps a month-long stay simple.

BEDROOMS AND BATHS
The Palm House has 4 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms and sleeps up to 14 guests with 1 king, 3 queens, 2 twins, a queen Murphy bed and a sleeper sofa. The primary suite is a true retreat, with a king bed, tray ceiling, sliding doors to a private balcony and a spa-style bathroom with double vanities and a large glass shower wrapped in glass mosaic tile. The other bedrooms are each styled with their own personality, from warm wood and island blues to soft pinks. The ground floor works like a private suite of its own, with a sitting room, a small dining nook and a queen Murphy bed: perfect for grandparents, older kids or a second family who want their own space.

THE NEIGHBORHOOD
The home sits in a quiet canal neighborhood surrounded by mangroves, palms and wildlife. Bikes and beach chairs are waiting for you: ride Sanibel's shared-use path to Blind Pass and Bowman's Beach, two of the island's best beaches for shelling and sunsets. "Ding" Darling National Wildlife Refuge, Captiva's restaurants and shops, and the island's grocery stores are all a short drive away.

GETTING AROUND
A car is recommended. Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW) is about 45 to 60 minutes away over the Sanibel Causeway. There is parking for 6+ cars on the large circular driveway, and bikes are included.
