7 weeks in Paradise
Several visits to Ft. Meyers in recent years. This is the first stay on Sanibel-a completely different experience. Quiet, good beach availability, excellent restaurants. Weather was superb. House was in good shape- crazy traffic pattern that we got used to. Overall a joyful experience.
Stayed 48 nights in Feb 2021

A great place to relax away from NE winters
The house is clean and well maintained with all of the comforts of home. The kitchen is fully equipped for casual and more formal meals. We enjoyed cooking on the barbie. This home is spacious and we and our guests had plenty of options for relaxing. TVs and wi fi worked. We were near enough to the beaches? Sanibel activities (community center)and restaurants. Hated to leave. Will stay in this property again next year!

About the host

Hosted by Virginia Mills/Chris Wood

Host profile image
Retired Vocational Expert/ PhD with 3 adult children and my wife. I have been traveling to Sanibel since 1985. I love the extraordinary natural beauty including beautiful beaches and wildlife and activities available, particularly biking, kayaking, and the recreation center with pool lap lanes, tennis, basketball and exercise classes. Dozens of restaurants in Sanibel and Captiva. Easy access to Ding Darling Refuge with viewing of hundreds of migratory birds.


Why they chose this property

Easy access to two terrific public beaches, one walking and biking distance half mile and the other about 2 miles from the property. Quiet serene setting where you can forget all of your usual concerns and thoroughly relax. The calming nature of Sanibel will make you want to return every year.

What makes this property unique

Quiet peaceful setting while looking in the back of the house Ding Daring Refuge comes right to our property line. Little to no light pollution , or upward lighting allowing us to view the spectacular stars and moon at night. Privet road.
