WE ARE BACK AFTER HURRICANE IAN REPAIRS-AND BETTER THAN BEFORE!!!!
Our completely renovated, ground level, open floor plan home is 6 houses from our private beach access. The beach is on the West end of Sanibel, which is much less populated and more secluded. It is almost like having your own private beach! This privacy is rare on Sanibel. A new resurfaced high end pebble surface with glass beads heated screened pool. The home sits only one block from one of the major bicycle paths (2 adult bikes provided) and is directly across the street from miles of conservation land. This home is GROUND LEVEL-no stairs to climb to get a cold drink, snack or sun block from inside. The home has been totally renovated and professionally decorated with high end tile throughout.

Our entire living area, sunroom, dining room, kitchen and living room, has an open floor plan that allows everyone to be involved in the conversation. The large sunroom has 2 desks for work (if you have to) or puzzles and crafts and opens out to the pool. The attractive coastal furniture is a great place to read a book or enjoy the tropical views. The backyard has beautiful artificial turf.

The kitchen has all new stainless steel appliances, shaker soft white cabinets, and granite counters with breakfast bar. An outside Weber gas grill is available for all your BBQ needs.

This allows guests with Netflix, Hulu, etc. accounts to watch their favorite shows. We also provide Roku devices on each tv. Sliding glass doors provide direct access to the pool with a beautiful tropical view. The en suite bath has a walk-in shower with rare silver travertine tile throughout. A large shower head and designer 48" vanity and faucet complete the package. The guest room has a queen size bed with a 50" flat screen, Smart, high definition TV. The third bedroom has plenty of room to occupy two twin beds with a 32' flat screen, high definition TV. The guest bathroom is all new, in coastal design with beautiful Italian tile.

Incredible stay!
My mom, sister & I came to Sanibel to celebrate our mom’s 65th birthday. This was the absolute perfect house to stay in, and the location couldn’t have been better. We walked to the beach every day which was a short 10 minute walk. The house is beautifully decorated and so cozy, and the beds were SO comfortable which is a huge plus when renting somewhere. The house has everything you need for your stay, and we even cooked in one night and the kitchen was very well stocked. We all kept saying how we have to stay at this house again whenever we come back to Sanibel, we loved it so much. It was such an amazing trip and the house just made it feel like we had our own beach home while we were there. We already can’t wait to come back!!!

Excellent experience
The host and house were both great! The house was spotless, and had everything you would need to enjoy your vacation. (Cooking utensils, grill, bikes, chairs) The heated pool was clean and felt great. The host also was great with communication. I did a last minute booking the night before i stayed. She patiently helped me complete my booking. I would recommend this property to anyone staying on sanibel island. I hope i can return again!

Perfect stay
I loved my time at Dawn and Frank’s home on Rabbit Road. The beautiful landscaping front and back felt like my own oasis. The pool lent itself to fun gatherings, especially for the kids and me. I appreciate the partially shaded fenced-in backyard. It is lovely! There were plenty of kitchen gadgets, towels, seating and bedding. I loved the use of bikes since I’d rather bike everywhere versus drive. The hosts thought of every need possible. Even the outside shower came in handy. The beach was a five to ten minute walk for us. I enjoyed being in a residential area with the shops and restaurants a short jaunt away. It was the perfect experience in Sanibel.

Wonderful month in Sanibel
This is a terrific home for a month long stay. The layout is nice, plenty of space, fenced in back yard. The house is nicely furnished and well supplied for our vacation. We cycle, so it was close to the bike trails and less than a mile to Ding Darling. Perfect!

Why they chose this property

Throughout our travels, we fell in love with Sanibel. Along with the best beaches in the world, Sanibel has wonderful weather, a relaxed atmosphere with great restaurants and shopping.There is not a better place to vaction and relax. We one day plan to retire to this beautiful place.

What makes this property unique

Location, location, location! We are 6 houses to private beach access. Our heated screened pool has beautiful Wetedge pebble and glass finish. The water is a beautiful Caribbean blue and the pebble finish just sparkles. Many of the homes on Sanibel are not ground level. We love the convienence of not climbing stairs everytime we need something in the house or to just go out to the pool. We are located in the middle of the island, close to Captiva and Sanibel's attractions. We have equipped our house as we would for ourselves. Come and make yourself at home.
