This condo met and exceeded my expectations. We travelled with our two older teen daughters and this condo provided space for all four of us. There was a fully stocked kitchen, great laundry machines as well as a large walk-in closet in the master bedroom! The unit was comfortable and quiet. The best part was that the beach is so close by! Like walking across a parking lot! We saw a trio of dolphins swim right up to the beach area! We enjoyed each wonderful sunset of our stay. Here are some other interesting discoveries- there is a gym a mile or so away as well as access to a great trail right outside the property. It was our best vacation yet! All four of us thoroughly enjoyed our visit. Our host, Dennis, was very easy to work with. He was helpful, available and professional. All the details were communicated clearly and he made sure we had all of our questions answered in a very timely manner. He was like our own tour guide! We would absolutely stay here again.

Dennis made us feel welcome and was extremely responsive. The location is ideal, just steps from the beach, and the staff at the Waterside Inn was very friendly and helpful.

Check-in was very easy with a welcoming staff from the next door Waterside Inn. Two of my college friends and I had a wonderful reunion on Sanibel Island and found the Breakers West condo to be clean, spacious, and totally comfortable. Loved the screen porch facing a lawn and steps to one of the two pools. Easy access to the beach with beach towels available. We liked that the condos were more "old Florida" in that they were just 2 story, but very well maintained. Kitchen was well equipped for cooking and eating in. Location is excellent with easy drive/bike to the fabulous Island grocery, Baileys, the wildlife refuge, and our favorite restaurant, Doc Ford's. We would stay here again when in a need for another winter getaway.

We stayed at Dennis’s condo for our first family vacation to Sanibel and could not have been more pleased with all aspects of our trip. The condo was very comfortable and spacious-more than enough room for our family of three. Condo was exceptionally clean upon arrival with enough amenities to sustain our stay of nearly a week. Having a fully equipped kitchen was great since we didn’t want to eat out every single meal. Dennis communicated throughout every part of our trip-before, during, and even our last full day to make sure everything was going smoothly. He offered excellent recommendations of activities and restaurants which we appreciated since it was our first time to the island and think we hit pretty much everything on the list minus a few restaurants. One restaurant that I will recommend that I don’t believe was on his list was George and Wendy’s, a short drive from the condo. They have a huge gluten free menu and even had a gluten free version of their key lime pie which was TO DIE FOR! I can’t tell you the last time I enjoyed key lime pie and would have taken one home with me if I knew that it would have traveled well! The beautiful white sandy beach is a short walk from the condo and the shelling is no joke; it was fun to find treasures and compare it to the shell poster back at the condo. Dennis was an amazing host and if we’re lucky enough to go back to Sanibel in the future, we would not be hesitant in the least to go back to Dennis’s condo. Thanks again, Dennis and family for sharing your little bit of heaven with us!

Loved everything about this condo. Seconds from the ocean, quiet, clean, great porch for morning coffee The host has this place set up for whatever you need. The area was great for biking and running. Tons of great food and bars close by. Would go back in a second!

Beautiful condo, beautiful island swift and friendly host. Would return immediately.

Dennis was a very responsive host and we had an excellent time at hid place. The condo was extremely clean and the kitchen was well stocked. We had an issue with the bath tub not draining and it was fixed right away. I would highly recommend this place.

The apartment is very spacious, clean, extremely comfortable, and in an excellent location. Furthermore, Dennis is a great host and has good tips about local activities etc. Wonderful place, highly recommend!

Andrew's house was perfect for us! Clean, well maintained and fully equipped will everything one would need. There was just two of us, but we hope to return with some friends. The house is set up great for two couple's or family with kids with two bedroom with private bathrooms. Nice big kitchen! Only draw back is it's a little bit of a drive if you are wanting to do things off pine island, but No traffic issues and less "busy" then other islands.

Very nice and clean. Great location, walking distance restaurants. Nice places to go boating. Highly recommend this place, we will definitely come back. The owner was very nice as well.

Andrew provides such simply sweet hospitality! We really enjoyed this peaceful location - it was comfy and not stuffy - just how we like it. The island is kept naturally beautiful - what a treasure. We rented a 17' skiff from Monroe Marina - they were great - super friendly with plenty of helpful tips for newbies to the area like us. Many thanks again!!

Andrew 's place was clean and well-equipped. It felt like home and more for us. Our host was responsive, attentive and accommodating. Having him as a host was like having your own private concierge. Scenic and tranquil environment, clean comfortable accommodation and a great host...what more can one ask for?

Big house, more than fully equipped. Great location, quiet and not touristic, totally what we were looking for. We had a wonderful stay.

We had a problem with the air conditioner. It was handled very professionally and promptly by the owner. So just know if you run into any problems they will be taken care of quickly. I would recommend this house and will more than likely be going back to it.

Excellent place; lovely island.

What wonderful hosts! All questions were answered with additional helpful hints on the area. A guest information book on site provided all of the information needed to check-in, check-out and relax during our stay. The kitchen has everything you need and having two bathrooms is a big plus. The photos are a true representation of what you find when you arrive, very nice. And I can't say enough about the graciousness of the hosts. They made us feel truly welcome to enjoy our stay in their home.

Very nice spacious house by the canal in quiet and safe neighborhood. Pool area is great with heated pool and hot tub. Kitchen was great for cooking family dinner. Enough space to eat dinner both inside and outside by the pool. Jack was very welcoming host.

Paul maintains a great condo and it is well decorated and we liked that we could hang out there to beat the heat when being outdoors was taking a lot out of us. We used 2 bikes (every day) and 2 kayaks (one day) while there and let me tell you, he has everything spelled out in the messages he sent us to know how to properly find and use everything we needed. We picked up groceries, and were able to save money during the week by eating in sometimes. The area is amazing in that there are no big box stores and no tractor-trailers driving down the roadways. Bike trails can take you anywhere you want to go, just be prepared for the heat and to stay hydrated. Amazing views, beaches, and scenery everywhere! Loved it all! Would come back again!

Paul's condo was a perfect location for a week on Sanibel. The accommodation was equipped with pretty much everything we needed - for heading to the beach, grilling out back, cooking in the kitchen, lounging by the pool or waiting out the storms in the unit. Having kayaks and bikes was an added bonus - unfortunately, the weather prevented us from taking advantage of the boats. This was our second trip to Sanibel, but our first staying on the island. We would recommend this location for a couple or a small group. Paul was quick to respond to any info we needed regarding the condo and on some fishing - specific questions. Thanks for the tip on the Bait Box! Very helpful.

Fue tal cual la descripción. El barrio muy lindo, excelente vista, invita al relax. Muy importante tener a disposición las bicicletas y los kayaks porque justamente de eso se trata Sanibel y aparte en excelentes condiciones para no tener ningun contratiempo! Muy bueno todo. Nos sentimos como en casa, todo impecable y muy bien decorado. Perfectas las indicaciones de Paul no tuvimos ni que preguntarle nada!

Great place, comfortable, clean, complete with everything you need for your vacations. Second time in Tennis Place and we look forward to be there in 2015. Martín

Paul provided great detail in an email before we arrived that made our arrival easy, access to his condo just as he said. Neighborhood and neighbors were very nice. It was easy to get around the island and we enjoyed having access to Paul's bikes and kayaks.

Paul's place was perfect for us. It is easy to get off the island from this location, but also easy to get around Sanibel from here, especially with the bikes that come with the condo. Paul was very responsive, there were no problems. We would highly recommend.

The place is great! Paul provided everything to make our stay pleasant experience. Thank you!

Paul sent a very detailed email with all of the questions answered and information regarding where to find bikes, kayaks, etc. Everything was very easy to follow. The condo on sanibel island is very conveniently located to many restaurants, shops, beaches, etc. In fact, we hopped on the bikes for almost every outing and only used our rental car once or twice. The condo has everything you could need for a great kayaking trip, a day at the beach, or just relaxing at home (beautiful view of the channel where we saw a dolphin and many lovely birds). We had a wonderful time and our only regret is that we didn't have two weeks to explore the island !

Vi fik en rigtig god modtagelse, da Art mødte personligt op og gav os en kort og god præsentation af lejligheden og stedet. Lejligheden var nydelig, pæn og rengjort, og alt nødvendigt udstyr til et godt ferieophold var tilstede. Passer fint til ophold for et par, evt. med 1-2 mindre børn. Lejligheden er en del af ferieresortet "Sundial", hvilket giver en række fordele i forhold til restauranter, swimmingpools og andre ferieaktiviteter. Billeder af lejligheden, udsigt m.m. undersælger efter vores mening - man bliver med andre ord positivt overrasket. Og ikke mindst af alt: ligger lige op til den fantastiske strand, som er en af de bedste på øen.

Art's place was the perfect getaway for a couple. We only wish we could have stayed longer.

Art provided substantial communication prior to arrival, including suggestions and literature on Sanibel Island and all that it offers (which could fill a volume of books). He let me know everything I needed and answered my questions promptly when I had them. My wife and I had more fun than I could write about in a few hundred words. Sundial is a great place to stay - if you don't want to leave the area you probably wouldnt have to. It has a small grocery store (a smaller versoion of a store which has been on Sanibel for something like 100 years - try the sour cream donuts). The resort also offers a pizza place, a sit-down restaurant with a variety of menu items, a tiki bar, and a few other things that we didn't even have time to try. Sanibel Island, and Art's place in particular, is about as good as it gets for an island getaway - great for families and casual vacationers alike. There are just as many hidden gems peppered throughout the island as there are popular tourist spots. (The lounge and live music at the Jacaranda is a perfect way to end the day - and make sure to order the conch fritters).

We had a very nice time at Art's condo. The location is great. The condo development is right on the beach and Art has beach chairs and a (somewhat dated) umbrella as well. He also has some beach toys, if you have little ones. There are also multiple pools in the development that you can use. There are plenty of towels. It's a no frills, small unit, but the proximity to the beach is great and if you're going to Florida, you probably don't want to spend too much time in-doors anyway. The unit is perfect for a couple or a couple + small child. We brought our two year old and our pack and play fit nicely in the closet (with the doors open) in the bedroom, so we still had space around our bed. There is a sliding wall that separates the bedroom from the living area and our daughter was fine with the level of noise after we put her down. We watched TV, chatted, etc.

Everything was fine. Art was helpful, and the practical arangements worked without problems. Sanibel is a fantastic place, I can really recommend going there. The only improvement I can think of is that the bed could have been bigger, it was only queen size. Ulf

Nice place! Excellent communication with owner.

thank you so much for letting us stay in your beautiful condo! we had such a fun week!

We had a fantastic trip to Sanibel Island, Florida and enjoyed the use of your condo! Clean place and it felt like being at home. The resort, beaches and over Island life was fabulous! We had many meals around the island and Fort Myers and Tops was the Island Cow, next best was cooking out on the gas grills at the resort! We look forward to scheduling another trip to Sanibel Island! Many Thanks, Troy & Jody

Nice place. Quick walk to a great beach and restaurants. There are lots of beach toys to borrow and wagons to haul them in.

Family size accommodations within easy walking distance of the beach. Very nice patio area.

Good location, no noise, clean, a bit outdated. "Hot tub" is just a tub (does not get warm). Internet is a little bit erratic.

It's a lovely location and easy to cycle to the local beaches. Tranquil.

Great place with a very gracious and accommodating host.

A nice comfortable quiet place that's minutes From the shops and beach .

Laurie was very accommodating! Everything was as said and better. We rented a boat and it was very convenient to tie up at the house. Air-conditioning was powerful and kept us wonderfully cool! Hanging out in the back on the hammock was perfect. Nice quiet neighborhood!

Perfect place for a getaway. Everything is in this place that you need. Trailer is very clean and everything worked. Quiet neighborhood. The best part is the location for boating/fishing. A short boat ride down the canal and there is some prime fishing everywhere. We even did some night fishing in the canals as many people had dock lighhts

Wir hatten einen sehr schönen Aufenthalt. Das Appartement war sehr sauber und komfortabel. Vielen Dank

Sea Shells is a terrific place, and Joanne's condo is really lovely. It is very quiet, and the tennis court and pool are in great shape. It is an easy walk to the beach, and shelling is remarkable. Joanne clearly makes the effort to ensure guests have a wonderful stay!

We had a wonderful stay in Joanne's Sanibel Island condominium. Everything about the space said home and we felt completely comfortable and we had a super week. The beach is a short walk away and the place includes a beach cart and lots of beach toys. It is also simple to rent bikes right in the complex and then all of Sanibel is within reach without getting in your car. This is a great spot for a beach vacation.

Our stay at Joanne's appartment was great: Everything was ready when we arrived, the condo clean, well equipped (as described) and comfortably cool (important in Florida's humid-hot climate). The two bedrooms are quite roomy and so is the rest of the appartment. We - two adults and two 16-years-old youths - were very happy there: less than 5 min walk to the beach, which was as shell-clad as sunny :-)) The beach cart, the beach-chairs and the beach-towels as well as the cooler were very handy. The neighborhood is calm, well looked-after and in good condition. We used the pool (a bit warm :-)) but not the BBQ-stations. All in all a perfect place for the last part of our US-trip -- a place we clearly recommend. We didn't need much information of our host - but if asked, she always responded promptly.

Joanne is great! Although we didn't meet Joanne face-to-face, she was very accessible via email and text. When we had a scheduling issue that we couldn't solve on our own on the Airbnb site, she was able to accommodate us and fix the problem. The condo is a second-floor walk-up. Very roomy and comfortable, with a well-equipped kitchen and nice bathrooms. We walked 5-10 minutes to the beach and enjoyed their pool and even played shuffleboard on the property. All in all, a nice, relaxing Sanibel vacation.

The apartment was nicely furnished and contained everything we would have expected. Couldn't get the TV to work but that may have been because we weren't used to American TVs . If we had been really bothered could have asked for help but good to do without TV for a week! Aircon a bit noisy but very necessary! The pool was very nice and the area around it had plenty of chairs and loungers.

The location of this condo was great. Being mid island it was quick to get to amenities such as the grocery store and shopping but also not a long drive to Blind Pass and Captiva. It was mere steps from the beach but was also nice in that it had a pool. As we had young children it was great to have beach towels, beach chairs, umbrella and sand toys. We stayed in the off season (late August) so the complex was quiet and we often had the pool to ourselves. The condo was nicely furnished and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook. (Bring coffee filters- 12 cup flat bottom filters) The third bedroom is a loft with a daybed that has a trundle. Books and puzzles were nice to have. Cable and WiFi were a bonus to have. We would definitely stay here again. Good value.

Marcy's place was a great value for the location; literally steps to the beach! The pool at the complex was perfect and warm. It was wonderful to have all the beach and pool items at our fingertips including plenty of plush beach towels. The bike/walking path is right outside the driveway and is a terrific way to get around the island if you rent a bicycle. If you like to cook, Marcy's kitchen is well appointed with pots and pans but be sure to bring your own salt and pepper; there wasn't any. Also, be sure to shop off the island as the prices at the two markets are astronomically high! The condo has a fun island feel and is spacious compared to other places we have stayed on Sanibel. The information Marcy sent ahead of time was very helpful including things to do, restaurant tips, and overall information about the island.

The location was simply the best.

The location is fantastic. Very short walk (maybe 1 minute) walk to the beach. The condo was clean and in good condition. There is a lanai which overlooks the pool. Overall very happy with this rental and would recommend it to others. Additionally, Marcy was very responsive to any questions we had.

Incredibly clean accommodations, view and steps from the private pool, steps from the beach. Felt safe and my kiddos had an AMAZING time. The condo had chairs, beach towels and toys for the kids and I loved to be able to pay it forward and left some boogie boards. We definitely over packed as there was so much waiting for us, including laundry machines. I would LOVE to come back and highly recommend. (kids ages: 5 & 9) I wasn't sure there would be adequate room for my husband and I, 2 kids and a grandparent from the pictures posted, but trust me, a king size bed, a queen and a daybed up in the loft was more than enough!

The unit was centrally located, it has wonderful access to the beach and it overlooks the pool. For my family of 4 the accommodations were perfect and well maintain. The owner was always available for questions and replied very quickly. There are many wonderful restaurants on the island. In overall we had an excellent experience.

Great place to stay in Sanibel. Tremendous value. The kids loved it too. The wireless was very weak but more reason to go outside and enjoy Sanibel.

Great accommodations! The condo was spotless, very comfortably furnished, and nice comfy beds too. Check-in was easy, and big plush beach towels were available to rent for $10/each for the duration of our stay. There are also plenty of lounge beach chairs that you can bring down to the beach. There are two pools. The one closer to the beach was always busy and we never used it, but we had the one right behind the condo to ourselves a few times. It was nice, very well maintained, and the surrounding courtyard is green and lush. The beach is close, maybe 4-5 minute walk from the front door. The beach was fantastic, not crowded even during Memorial Day weekend, and so many seashells! There was lots of wildlife in the water. We saw a manatee up close, a school of sting rays, and one huge ray that must have been 5' wide. Watch out for the no see ums though! The rooftop deck was closed for renovation, which was a little disappointing, but will surely be nice when it's done. All in all, a very nice place for a beach getaway!

Everything was as described, the place was really nice. Close to both pool and beach. Great communication as well :)

The condo was very comfortable. We loved the screened porch. We cooked several meals using the well stocked kitchen. Loved the fact we could rent bikes on site. The beach was stunning, and so close. We can't wait to return to Sanibel, and would love to stay at Lance's condo again.

We (5 men) enjoyed our stay in this nice and clean apartment which is located in the beautiful Waterside Inn resort.

We had such a wonderful stay on Sanibel Island and Lance was a fantastic host. The condo was perfect! Lance was very helpful and quick to respond to all our questions. Fabulous experience!

We stayed in this condo last weekend when we were visiting Sanibel for a friend's wedding. It was just what we needed. The pictures don't do it justice; it was a lot bigger than they appear which was a pleasant surprise. The outdoor patio was a great addition, especially for us New Yorkers who were in desperate need of beautiful weather! We rented bikes from the office as well; super cheap and convenient. The condo was about a 15 minute bike ride to shops and places to grab food and super close to the public beach. Would definitely recommend! Thanks, Lance!

This was a really great place! Pictures accurately describe the apartment. Very nicely furnished and one of the few places I've stayed where the kitchen was actually well supplied with decent utensils, dish wear, etc. The location couldn't be better - right on the gulf side and steps away from the beach. Lance was very responsive and worked with my friend and I so that we could have an early check-in. I would definitely come here again and would not hesitate to recommend to anyone! Simply lovely!

Lance provided me all the information I needed, and definitely, quickly answered all my questions. The condo was exactly as described. It was clean and well organized, the location was superb and the staff very friendly and accommodating.

Place was awesome, Cheryl & Luke are amazing people, perfect managers. Housekeepers Elise and Nikki are great too! Never more than 20 people on beach within 1/4 mile either direction. Was August 13/14/15, Sunday morning had beach to selves until 10:30am. There where kids under 12 there but where never a problem. Lots of dogs, which was great. But beach access is used by local nearby cottages too.

This cottage was exactly as described. While small, it was just the right size for me for a week. Beach is steps away and never crowded....lots of space between people. Beach towels, chairs and umbrellas are provided as complimentary. Great shelling on the beach and a shell washing station next to cottage! Staff during my stay were very friendly and helpful. Danielle responded very quickly to my questions during booking and in arranging for my late arrival. I would definitely stay here again.

This place is as advertised... It is very tiny but it was great for my wife and I for our honeymoon. It is RIGHT by the beach and close enough to good restaurants. Riding bikes was a lot of fun, and although they were not the nicest of bikes, they did the job. The staff was very accommodating and got us the things we needed "TP, trash bags, etc" in a timely manner. The only thing I would say is that the bathroom is TINY!! The shower is so small and unless you are a small person, it is a bit tricky. Great place!

+ Great location next to the beach. - The bathroom/shower was tiny so larger guys may have difficulties, but the host was very upfront about it.

This place is adorable. The access to the private beach is the best!

Awesome place, nice people, amazing location.

This place is perfect for a private getaway while exploring Sanibel and Captiva. The staff are friendly, the room is cozy, and the beach is a quick stroll from the door. Everything else to see and do here is a short drive away. I loved my stay here, would definitely visit again.

I am hesitant to share such a great place! But I must be honest here as I appreciate others who do as well. I am a very active reviewer on TA. In my travels I have only recently (one year) stayed in Air BB's. Kenneths place was my fourth. Being what appears his first review.......I'm gonna give it to you good! His beautiful condo is just as described. We were a party of two. His unit is very easy to find. Just off the causeway and turn left. Unit is on second floor and near entrance to the community. The view from front door is so pretty. It is on the canal side of main property. Furnishings are all "beachy" as expected for where you are. Kitchen is stocked very well with plenty of dishes, small appliances, linens, and grill tools. He even provides soap for your first few loads of dishes. Yes the grills are very close by and are high quality. The King bedroom is very spacious and comfortable. Plenty of hangers in the large walk in closet and extra pillows and blankets. The bathroom is a bit on the small side but perfect for two. Washer and dryer are always nice to have and Kenneth again provides soap for your first few loads..... AC works great. Internet and cable TV too. This was perfect for us after a day of exploring the island and surrounding areas. We grocery shopped prior to arriving and enjoyed sunsets, grilling and dining in a nice, cool condo. The pool was very welcoming too after long days out. We never met you Kenneth, but you were very helpful with reserving and answering questions up front. Thanks for sharing your Sanibel home!!!!! We hope to return next year! Lois and Robert

My wife and I had a great stay at Ken's condo. Checking in and out was super easy! The condo had everything we needed for our week in paradise. The condo is very easily accessible and the condo grounds have nice features as well. This is a perfect place to stay for couples or families with small children. Thanks again Ken! We will be back!

We were blown away by the great location, privacy of the condo and the pleasant host we had with Kenneth and the building manager that was there to offer up recommendations on best area beaches and restaurants. Kenneth was quick in replies to all our questions, especially considering the lat minute booking we made. We had an issue with the AC, but it was quickly addressed and our stay was great. We'd recommend this place and come back for another trip. Sanibel is awesome and this condo is a great launching pad.

We had a wonderful time and unbelievable weather!! Kenneth was very quick to answer questions as they arose. One of my favorite things was having a kitchen that was fully stocked, even had BBQ tools. We cooked every meal during our stay!! Full size washer and dryer in the condo is also a huge plus. We spent a lot of time at the pool too, awesome!! The complex is nice and quiet, exactly what we were looking for! A short drive or bike ride and you are in the middle of it all. I would highly recommend staying here, you will not be dissapointed!! We would love to stay here again! Thank you Kenneth!!

We really enjoyed our stay here. It is very quiet and green with a nice deck for eating breakfast on in the morning. The chickens and turkeys were friendly and would come watch us eat breakfast. There was coffee, bagels, cream cheese, and toast available for the mornings, which I found to be a very nice touch.

Lisa and Donald are the nicest people that you will ever meet! They have an absolutely beautiful setting, filled with lots of love. The linens are gorgeous, the space is Very well appointed and neat. The apartment is private, and there are no noises that interrupted us in any way. They have thought of everything!! We loved our time in their home, and our time with them socializing and enjoyed all of their recommendations tremendously. You cannot ask for a more comfortable and private space. It was clean, we even had our own washer and dryer!!! Our honeymoon was picture perfect every day there. They have the nicest turkeys I have ever met. They are super friendly and cute!! I cannot say enough about how happy we were during our time there. Do NOT hesitate!!! Book it!!!

Lisa's space was clean and perfectly suited our needs. The chickens and turkeys were all friendly and came right up to us as soon as we parked. I don't think I have ever had a welcome wagon quite like that before! Lisa was incredibly sweet and communicated flawlessly throughout the trip. It was a fun night for sure!

We loved the quiet, tropical garden, and comfortable beds... Pine Island is a great quiet getaway with restaurants on the water front, ferry ride to Costa Caya was an amazing journey into beautiful unspoiled beaches. Bike riding, nature preserves, kayaking, fishing, plenty to do for nature lovers!

This was a fun place. A good base to explore Pine Island, Matlacha and even Fort Myers, without the boring beach resort style accommodation. The rooms are generous and comfortable, the hosts are quiet and considerate, the chickens and turkeys in the yard are hospitable.

Its a great home. Its in the middle of plush green environment and we loved the view. The Turkeys in the yard are friendly. The apartment is clean, we had lot of towels. We are given coffee and bread for breakfast. The beds are big and clean, sleeps 4 people with lots of pillows. The air conditioning is perfect and comfortable.

My husband and I used to be travel junkies. We had a kid and we've spent a little too much time at theme parks and kid friendly places these last few years. We wanted to try a different sort of family trip and this place provided that experience. This is a very unique little property. The unit itself is very comfortable and it's spacious for the price. The owners are putting a lot of work into the landscaping and I bet the property will be really amazing in a few years. It's pretty cool now. There are friendly turkeys and chickens all over the yard. My almost three year old was very impressed with the chickens and turkeys - I think she thought we were staying at a petting zoo. We did have some minor hiccups during our stay (the a/c broke), but our hosts dealt with the situation immediately, and the unit was fixed asap (they got a repair man out there in an hour). They also offered us a portable unit + fan to tide us over. Both my husband and I were impressed with how well they dealt with the situation. The location is interesting. I only heard of Pine Island a few months ago. We booked our trip to St. James City on a whim. The town isn't really a city. There are four or five sit down restaurants, a lot of places to go boating, and not much else (which was fine by us). My husband grew up on Cape Cod, MA, so he was especially pleased - St. James City is like rural Cape Cod in the 1980's. It's not for everyone, but we liked it.

Lisa and her husband were welcoming and very friendly. The house is surrounded by the beautiful and charming garden.We enjoyed staying in such are unique place.

This was such a find on Sanibel! It is one of the old historic cottages, and very few are left. It helped me find the "real" Sanibel experience I was seeking. I stayed almost 2 weeks and everything I needed was there! I had a couple of maintenance items that needed taken care of, and the hosts sent a handyman right away! I enjoyed the bicycles, the large private backyard, the beach chairs, and everything inside! Wifi worked beautifully, and the atmosphere is such fantastic (if you want a cozy feel). If you want brand new appliances and kitchenware, go somewhere else. This is an authentic cottage experience. The knives had a bit to be desired but they worked for me. The bed was very comfortable and while the shower was small, it had a nice spray. The location can't be beat. I'm hoping to return!

What a wonderful place to stay we were close to the beach and the bikes and the coolers were a great touch!! There was plenty of the necessities as well. We had a wonderful time but; of course, it is never long enough! You guys did a great job with the decorating and the cooking and kitchen supplies. With the information you left we were able to catch the trash man and recycle as well as the yard waste pick up. John and I felt right at home and had plenty of extras. Loved having the books and loved the comfy decor...... Right at Home!!! Thanks and I am sure we will be back!!

Fantastic place for our family vacation with a two year old. Very close to the beach and the property has all the accomodations one may think of, including all you need at the beach. We had a question about the wifi and the hosts responded immediately and addressed the issue. The area of the island is also not swarming with tourists, which is a huge plus.

We loved this cottage home! It offered the 3 of us a private, quiet place to stay with beach access close by. We loved the bikes as well! Would definitely want to return.
