This is truly an amazing home in a wonderful, quiet Florida town. If you need to escape and recharge your batteries, book this home immediately and you will not be disappointed.
This property was phenomenal. I visited from Atlanta in the dead of Summer and spent all of my days between the gloriously air conditioned interior, the screened in pool (the best idea ever), the breezy sea water dock, and the very nearby restaurants in town.
The house is well situated on the canal with the best dock I could see: plenty of room to pull up your own boat, a bar height table under shade, several lounge chairs at the water's edge, and even some sea kayaks.
The pool was the perfect temperature and very clean. The deck chairs were comfortable and in great condition, and there were tons of various floats and pool noodles in the garage. I saw some yard games stored in there too, like corn hole.
The beds were all incredibly comfortable - not the typical that you would find in a rental home. Real pillows too.
The kitchen was large and amply stocked with ceramic & glass for inside use, and melamine & plastic for outdoor use. There were plenty of decent pots & pans, knives (rental home knives are always the worst, but these were a step above), Tupperware, random utensils like pizza cutters and wine openers. You can tell that this home was stocked for personal use, and there was not a single utensil I hoped to find that was not there.
The proximity of this home to grocery stores and restaurants was also perfect. You can drive and walk to a grocery store, a package store, and a few restaurants, and there are so many other places to each within a 5 minute drive.
Sanibel/Captiva is maybe a 35 minute drive by car (much shorter by boat), and well worth the trip.
