Short 5 minute walk to one of Sanibel's best shelling beaches, 
along West Gulf Drive, in a quiet and private residential area.

Ground level Lanai home, completely remodeled in December 2003 
with new Corian kitchen, new baths and Italian tile flooring.  This 
vacation home has two separate master bedroom suites, each with a 
king bed.

One other rental home available for January-February 2008.  Also, 
five other vacation rental homes available on Sanibel, so your 
vacation villa may be just an email or phone call away ;-)

A great vacation experience because this home is one of the few 
ground level Sanibel rental homes with a new large pool which 
includes a large overflow hot tub, and serene lake views, within a 
few minutes walk of the beach.  The beach in this area of Sanibel is 
not very crowded because its mid-island location, near West Gulf 
Drive and Rabbit Road, is away from the crowds and noise of the 
condominium part of the island on the East End.

On a small private cul-de-sac with one of Sanibel's best large pools 
(36 x 15) and large (8-10 person) bubbly hot tub, and great lake 
views.  The hot tub and pool open out from Florida living room.  The 
pool has a "tanning ledge" built to lay on chaise lounges while in 
the pool just a bit, great for reading and relaxing, as well as 
playing upon (about 16-18" deep).  The hot tub has an overflow 
waterfall to add to your pool enjoyment and fun.

This private beach getaway home has the best all 'round features of 
the several Sanibel homes we have enjoyed.  The pleasing feel of this 
home has been made even more appealing from the complete remodel.  It 
has wonderful lake and wildlife views and is on a very quiet cul-de-
sac, which is good for a quiet bicycling and walking area.  Birds of 
all sorts frequent the back yard, walking up and down near the pool 
cage.  A cormorant preens himself in our tree regularly.  Great Blue 
Herons, Egrets and small flocks of Ibis can also be seen within a few 
feet of the hot tub.  Osprey often roost nearby, carefully 
carrying their meal (usually fish, but sometimes a snake) back to 
their nest.

We also have 5 additional vacation rental pool homes on Sanibel 
Island, all in the same area (East Rocks/West Gulf Drive).  Four of 
the homes have 3 bedrooms with 2 baths and one is very large with 4 
bedrooms, a den and 3 baths, so please inquire about availability, as 
one of our homes may be available.
