Fantastic location with easy walk to West Gulf beach. Well equipped for 4 guests (4 beach chairs, bikes, beach towels, pool towels and loungers). The pool/lanai is the highlight of the property and gets sun all day long. Can’t beat the price- the trade off is small bathrooms and outdated kitchen. Otherwise perfect!

So happy to be back! The island is coming back a little more everyday so we got to visit more restaurants and also rented a golf cart. We just love the coconut hideaway! The pool temperature and pool cage really helped with the chilly days and nosee ums. We usually visit in April, but now think December is the perfect month! Looking forward to our next trip.

This property has everything you could ask for. It was exceptionally well equipped for the pool, for the beach and for the house. Everything was exactly as described. It’s location on the west end of Sanibel is perfect. I have traveled to Sanibel Island for over 30 years. This property was by far the best I have rented.

Let me start by saying our family of four really enjoyed our stay on Sanibel island in December 2020. The house was clean and owners very responsive to our questions. Beds were excellent, decor is pleasant. Kitchen is sufficient for basic cooking. The top deck was a nice place to spend time. I actually worked most of the time outside for most of the month. The vegetation in the yard is very lush and well maintained. Gives you a very nice sense of privacy. You can even hear the waves when the pool filter motor turns off at night. The four of us were working and schooling from home. The internet connection was very solid. The 10 minute walk to the beach through the very well maintained neighborhood was very pleasant. Neighbors were welcoming and made us feel like home. We saw a lot of wildlife in the Ding Darling park and from the beach. Including all sorts of birds, alligators and dolphins. Kayaking in Ding Darling was super fun. You won’t regret bringing your own kayak if you’re a little adventurous and really like quiet time in nature. The provided bicycles are good to to the the beach and short trips. If you like to go for longer bike rides, consider bringing your own or rent at one of the many shops on the island. In the context of Covid, the island felt very safe. People wore masks in public in indoor areas and there is a lot of room to distance all along the 14+ mile beach. Many restaurants have outdoor seating but also offered indoor seating if you are comfortable with that. The beach itself has a lot of shells to collect. This is a big thing in Sanibel! The down side of all those shells is that there isn’t as much nice sand to walk on compared to other Florida beaches. We also had some days of red tide that prevented us from going in the water and on the worse days, the air was too harsh to be on the beach. Lots of room to play outside at the beach, on bike paths and on the water. Less of a party atmosphere than the mainland. It was a great place to relax and feel safe in these challenging times.
