Welcoming 2-bedroom 2-bathroom condo in a secluded section of Sanibel Island

10/10 Excellent

"Everything that she listed is exactly what you received. It was a great place to stay. Very close to Bowman’s Beach, which was a great beach. The property also had a great pool and Pickleball courts! It was great having a washer and dryer inside the condo as well. The kitchen was fully stocked. All you need to do is stop by a Publix’s on the way in and get your food."

Quiet paradise awaits

10/10 Excellent

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The house was immaculate and had everything we could possibly need. From the comfy king size beds to the massive family room TV, everything was perfect. Temps were in the mid 90's so a good part of our days was spent floating in the pool which was cool and refreshing. We truly loved the house and hope we can get back one day."
