** An easy walk to the beach as well as free beach parking.
** Please remember that all Sanibel private HOMES must rent for 4 week minimum by Sanibel zoning law (28 night minimum does not apply to condos).

36 x 15 oversized pool, overflow hot tub, tanning ledge and lake views! Ground Level Sanibel Island Rental Home on quiet East Rocks cul-de-sac within a 5 minute walk to the private beach on Sanibel Island.

Conde Nast readers rank Sanibel as as a top beach destination in their survey about North American Island destinations, ranked for ambience, friendship, lodging, restaurants and shopping.

Sanibel has no stop lights, no highways, and no buildings over 40 feet, so there are no high rises to cast shadows on the beach. Sanibel has a dark skies requirement which means that you will see stars and night skies such as you may have never seen.

Sanibel Island is a barrier island in the Gulf of Mexico just 25 miles from Fort Myers airport, RSW. Sanibel is about 15 miles long and 3 miles wide. The Island is reached by a toll causeway from Fort Myers on the mainland ($6 toll one way only). There are 26 miles of bike and foot paths on Sanibel. Two thirds of the Island is dedicated to unspoiled nature conservation.

Sanibel is very different and unique from other Florida destinations - it's still olde Florida. Sanibel and Captiva Islands have been recognized in Conde Nast Traveler magazine's 2004 and 2005 Reader's Choice Awards ranking of the Top-10 North American Islands list. The popular travel magazine surveyed its 771,000 readers asking them to rate their favorite island destinations for scenery, friendliness, lodging, restaurants and activities. Sanibel ranked 5th in 2004 and 4th in 2005, while Captiva came in 8th and 6th respectively. (Source = Sanibel Chamber of Commerce)

Our Sanibel Island Home is an easy short walk to the beach and has a private heated and screened pool. We are members of the Sanibel-Captiva Chamber of Commerce, renting vacation homes on Sanibel since 1999.

Our vacation home is located in the West Gulf Drive area, just west of Rabbit Road in the East Rocks subdivision, approximately 2 miles from Bailey's Grocery Store. This home has a large 36 x 15 heated, screened pool with overflow hot tub, tanning ledge in pool, and panoramic lake and birding views. This is one of our most popular homes due to the great pool, lake and wildlife views.

We offer free beach parking for our guests who prefer to park rather than walk the 5 minute walk to the beach.

Sanibel requires private homes to rent for a minimum of 28 days. If you require less than 28 days, then please check the Sanibel-Captiva Chamber of Commerce website for accomodations, or call the Chamber at 239-472-1080.

Cancellation & Return Policy

If cancelled before 90 days prior to visit, then guests will receive a full refund. If cancellation is after 90 days prior to the visit, and the home is then re-rented, then the guest will be refunded the new rental amount in full, which may be less than original due to last minute rental.

Fees & Taxes

(1) Florida 11% bed and sales tax will be added to the rates above.

(2) Rates above include all costs unless guest utilizes electricity above the electrical allowance of $250 per month.

Details:
(1) 11% Florida sales and bed tax will be added to all the prices listed above. All rentals in Lee County, Florida are required to collect 11% taxes on guest visits less than six months and a day. For visits longer than 6 months, no taxes apply to the rental amount, thus long term rentals automatically save at least 11% due to no taxes.

(2) There is a charge for electricity usage for electric bills over $250 per month allowance. Generally, electric bills are less than $200, so usually no charges will apply unless the pool is kept at high temps (above 80-82 degrees) or the winter is unusually cold.
