    Donna P from Wilmington, DE recommends this vacation rental

    What an incredible rental experience we had with Shell Haven and SBL. We've been renting seasonally around FL for 6 years. This has to be one of my favorites. It was so incredibly comfortable and well equipped. Everything you could think you needed was there -- great kitchen amenities, comfy beds, screened pool area, pet friendly, and nice neighborhood. What more could you want? Did I mention the large lake in the back with plenty of wildlife to enjoy, the golf cart (a huge perk) with A/B parking access which allowed us to enjoy the private beaches on the West End, or the perfect location to get around Sanibel. The SBL staff (Rob, Charlie, and Anne) were wonderful as always. Can't imagine renting from anyone else. Their responsiveness and customer service is unparalleled. We'll be back to Sanibel and would book Shell Haven in a heartbeat. Thanks for sharing your home with us!

We’re so glad you loved Shell Haven—from the comfort and amenities to the pool, lake views, and wildlife. It’s great to hear the golf cart and beach access made your stay even more enjoyable! We also appreciate your kind words about our team—we’ll be sure to share them with Rob, Charlie, and Anne. We look forward to welcoming you back to Sanibel and would love to host you again anytime!

      Deborah, you are amazing! We truly appreciate you taking the time to leave a review. It brings us so much joy to hear that you loved both the home and the neighborhood. There’s absolutely nothing that spruces up a vacation like zipping around in a golf cart! It’s like having your own mini chariot of fun! We are excited and can’t wait to welcome you back next year, especially for TWO months this time! Until then, take care!
