  Christopher L from Newburyport, MA recommends this vacation rental

  We have rented this house for the month of February 2 years in a row now and love it there. It is in a quiet residential neighborhood and a short walk/bike to the beach. It has an open floor plan, and we love how two walls open completely to the screened deck. It is not walkable to any stores or restaurants, but we use bikes or a car for that. I might not recommend it for someone with toddlers due to a spiral staircase to get down the pool area. The house is clean and has everything you need. The pool is wonderful, very private and always clean. The house is on a canal which attracts a lot of beautiful birds. We are going back again next year!

  a guest from Jasper, GA recommends this vacation rental

  A comfy 2-bedroom, elevated home w/ sliders on 2 sides of great room that open to deck overlooking caged pool. Can use garages for car and bikes. Be aware that spiral staircase to pool may be a problem for older folks or toddlers. Master bath has been nicely renovated. SBL staff are excellent — they respond quickly to any problems or needs. After nearly a decade of winter visits, SBL is always our first choice in finding a rental.

  Russ P from Bayport, NY recommends this vacation rental

  Really enjoyed the month of March in Sanibel.
  
  The "Island Breeze" house was perfect for my wife and I. 2 comfortable beds, 2 baths. Accomodated guests. The pool was beautiful with the lagoon behind us watched Ibises, Egrets, Iguanas, Turtles and an Alligator sunbathe on the lawn.
  
  Being off West Gulf Road beaches are close by, less crowded and the Sunsets were magnificent.

  a guest from Wellfleet, MA recommends this vacation rental

  We've stayed 3 different years at Island Breeze, and couldn't be happier with it. The house is equipped for whatever you might need. We walked to the beach every morning with our dog, who loves play in the water. We spent many afternoons poolside, basking in the sun. The kitchen is well equipped to cook, the newly remodeled master bathroom is beautiful. The East Rocks neighborhood is beautiful and full of friendly neighbors. This side of the Island is quiet, with less traffic, which is just the way we like it.

    Dear Mark, We are so glad to hear you enjoyed your stay at Island Breeze! We can't wait to welcome you back to the Island in the future!

  Hans M from The Netherlands recommends this vacation rental

  My wife and I spent a wonderful vacation last November in this property. Recently partly renovated interior and a large, heated, delicious pool. The property was extremely clean (this was our 25th visit to Sanibel Island since 1990 and we have had some experience regarding this point), new master bathroom and interior of the house newly painted. Very quiet area and the staff of Sanibel Vacations was/is extremely helpfull and friendly! Perhaps three small points of interest: The quest bedroom lacks a closet/drawer and a decent curtain; the kitchen is fully equipped but a bit outdated and.... the metal spiral staircase to the pool area is a bit dangerous (sometimes slippery and it is difficult to bring some drinks over to the poolside as you need both hands to hold the railing). Besides that: we could recommend this property to anyone who is looking for a peaceful and attractive location. Thanks to the ladies of the management who were so helpful to solve some minor issues.

    Thank you so much for your review! We are so glad you enjoyed your stay and the extra perks of this home being remodeled recently! We will definitely take a look at the things you have listed here and address them appropriately. We hope we will see you again next year!

  a guest from Wellfleet, MA recommends this vacation rental

  Island Breeze is a wonderful home in a great neighborhood. The neighbors are very friendly. It's an easy walk to a beautiful and uncrowded gulf beach, where you can look for shells relax, swim, or catch a fantastic sunset. We spent many afternoons lounging by the heated pool, and enjoyed the large lanai for lunch and drinks. The kitchen is well-equipped with everything you'll need for a longer stay. We cooked in most nights, but always make a point to eat at Il Cielo on Periwinkle each time we visit. We also found great takeout sushi at Shima Sushi (at the Sundial Resort), and enjoyed the Poke Bowls from Spoon Drift in the Bailey's plaza. Also, the fried chicken from The Pecking Order is addictive. We return to Sanibel every year and it is a truly relaxing experience.

  a guest from Grand Rapids, MI recommends this vacation rental

  This property is located close(5-10 minute walk) to a beach access that is much less crowded than other beaches on the island. A pleasant bike ride gets you to Ding Darling Refuge or Doc Ford's restaurant. The pool is large and very private and is open to the living area. Furnishings in and the layout of the living areas are very good. While the kitchen and bathrooms are very functional they could use a little updating to make things perfect. Would definitely stay again and recommend to friends.
