Unforgettable memories were made here! Our family of 4 loved this spacious condo and the 14 year olds enjoyed the spiral staircase leading to the two double beds in the upstairs loft they shared. With so much space we could have definitely invited more of our family and friends! We were in awe of the gorgeous walkway leading to the quiet beach with palm trees, lush greenery, leaping lizards, and bunnies guiding our way. We visited the first week of November and it felt like our own private beach! We made breakfast and dinner in the fully equipped kitchen and grilled outside on the grille available. We ate at the dining table (seats 6) outside on the lanai overlooking the gorgeous yard and heated pool. Code access to the condo’s door so no keys required and we could each come and go as we pleased. We made coffee and walked to the beach for sunrise in our PJs half asleep. The host provides 4 Tommy Bahama beach chairs, a beach caddy, boogie boards, paddle ball, a beach umbrella, beach towels, and all the shelling accessories.
The beds were comfy and the couch was so cozy a few of us drifted to sleep there before making our way to bed. The bedrooms are equipped with TVs with Netflix and cable, and books for your reading pleasure.
This spot is a bike ride (or walk) away from great restaurants, a beach bar .07 miles down the beach (Turtle’s Tiki Bar), easy to walk since you will be shell hunting!
We rented paddle boards and bicycles, waiting for us outside of the condo when we arrived. It truly felt like our own private spot, we didn’t see many neighbors or vacationers in the other condos — it was as if we owned the place!
Recommend renting a car to visit the surrounding beaches to change up the scenery for a day like Captiva Island and more, but you have everything you need on the island. Publix is 15 minutes away by car over the Sanibel causeway but there is a small grocery store (Jerry’s) on the island pretty close to the condo by bike.
Renting with Ken was great - he was extremely responsive, communicative, efficient, and even shared the low down of everything we needed to know from wifi to the best spots to eat, shop, and explore. We all wished we could have stayed much longer.
