Sanibel Island Vacation Rentals

For a “real” island vacation, complete with rolling tides, plenty of fresh seafood and seashells to relish and no glimpse of an amusement park ride in sight, travel to Florida’s Gulf Coast and spend some time on Sanibel Island. To start, find yourself and your family a great rental home, cottage or condo to drop your bags and spend some quality downtime. Sanibel Island vacation rentals come in many styles and sizes. Choose from a cozy beachfront cottage, a high end condo overlooking the Gulf, or a luxurious home complete with every amenity you could need or want. All rentals will include a laidback, seaside village look and feel, and you will always find your rental to be fully furnished, with a complete kitchen and linen service. After that, the choice of amenities becomes the fun part of choosing your rental home. Private pools, wireless internet, hot tubs, designer decor and gourmet kitchens, maid service, and of course, a most spectacular view are all options you have when renting a Sanibel Island vacation home.

Sanibel Island is highly respected as a wildlife refuge, with over 60 percent of the land protected as wildlife preserves. The island offers up some of the best shelling you will find anywhere, along with plenty of great fishing. Cast a line and you may catch tarpon, red fish, or sea trout. The gorgeous waters of the Gulf of Mexico provide opportunity for really just about any water sport you want to take part in. If you get a little water-logged, there’s always golf. Learn about the natural beauty and ecological significance of this barrier island at the J.N. “Ding” darling National Wildlife Refuge or the Sanibel-Captiva Conservation Foundation Center.

Plus, with a vacation rental condo, home or cottage, you will never be far from the action and activities, yet you will have a quiet, spacious respite to which to return at the end of the day. Or maybe you just want to spend the day at your Sanibel Island vacation rental home on a hammock. It’s your vacation, and that’s a perfectly legal choice. While the area will get crowded during the busy season, it makes for adventure and possibly some new friendships. Look to this site to book your accommodations early, so you can make the most out of both the lively atmosphere and laidback serenity of this barrier island. This is Sanibel Island.
