  Lisa H from Westport, MA recommends this vacation rental

  We had a wonderful month in Turtle Tracks. The home was fully equipped with everything we needed in the kitchen and plenty of towels for the home and beach. The heavy duty washer and dryer were great to do our frequent beach towel laundries and the appliances all seem fairly recent. We did have trouble with the ice maker but the property management team was quick to bring ice trays and were ordering a filter for it. We managed fine with the ice trays. It is comfortable, bright, and airy and the sliders let the outside in! Because the pool is enclosed by screen, there are very few insects, if any, that get through so we could keep the sliders open. I appreciate that the rental was pet friendly for our goldendoodle and the floors were easy care. As the furniture was white, we covered everything with beach towels for our entire stay just in case. The pool was a dream come true; if we didn’t want to go to the beach, it was easy to cool off. Appreciate that the pool and grounds were taken care of weekly. Quiet but friendly and helpful neighbors. The location of the house is perfect...easy bike ride to anywhere you want to go. There are bikes in the garage and we left some pool noodles for future guests.
  The beach access is hard to find. We were given directions to it by a neighbor. and it’s about 12 minute walk. The access path is at the end of the furthest culdesac and once we figured it out, we used it almost every day. Perhaps a little map?
  The property management team was awesome; we called them with a few concerns and they responded to the house within a couple of hours. Overall the house was very clean at the start of our rental however I do suggest that the cleaning company be reminded to clean under beds and under the dining table rug before the next guests as we found them dusty and sandy to start. We truly had a fantastic time and we would definitely rent this home again some time in the future. The only sad part was having to leave at th

  A very quiet location with natural beauty everywhere! A little far from the beach, probably 3/4 of a mile. Be sure to ask where the beach access is because it is not clearly marked. The house was very comfortable and the pool amazing! Overall a great home!

  Alice W from Sanibel, FL recommends this vacation rental

  We love the natural setting of this house. The pool is great, and it was a perfect temperature. We walked to the beach most days and enjoyed the walk and exercise. The kitchen is well equipped, and we used it for the majority of our meals. But, we cannot make a trip to Sanibel without eating at some favorites. Our current favorite for a nice dinner out is Sweet Melissa's, and we always enjoy Gramma Dot's as well as others. The house was clean, and the manager is great. Our dog loves Sanibel, too, and was glad he could come.

  We all had a great time. The location was great and quiet.
  The yard is beautiful and really enjoyed walking around.
  The house is very roomy and wonderful. The only thing I was dispointed in is that I couldnt find a Sand Dollar. This is not the fault of the rental. Thank you so much for letting us rent your place.
