About this property

Sanibel Spacious Lakefront Retreat, Steps to Scenic Shores,Shelling and Fishing

Discover an elegant coastal sanctuary nestled in Sanibel, blending modern luxury furniture and cozy home environment.This radiant abode boasts state-of-the-art appliances amid breezy interiors, epitomizing the harmonious marriage of comfort and flair. Elevator for the handicapped.

A mere stone's throw away, the untouched powdery shores of Sanibel invite you for sun-drenched moments. Dive into the crystalline waters, bask on the sun-kissed shores, or engage in the island's famed activities, from prized shelling to voyages into the J.N. "Ding" Darling National Wildlife Refuge. Culinary delights await at neighboring seafood joints, while the island's quaint boutiques and art havens offer a different kind of treasure hunt. For the adventurous soul, the winding mangroves promise thrilling kayak escapades.

One standout feature is the expansive screened-in veranda, a haven for moments of reprieve. Here, amidst the soft whisper of sea breezes and melodic chirping, mornings begin with aromatic coffees and nights culminate in heartfelt chats. Adding to the property's tranquility, a picturesque community lake unfurls at your doorstep. As you amble around its perimeter, you'll be enthralled by sights of graceful herons, egrets, and with fortune, the vibrant roseate spoonbill.

Upon entering, be enveloped by an aura of warmth, magnified by the sun's rays filtering through expansive windows. An airy open-plan design melds the living, dining, and culinary spaces, fostering camaraderie and an infectious zest. Coastal motifs adorn the living space, complete with sumptuous seating — an alcove for relaxation post island adventures. Film enthusiasts can revel in movie nights via the sleek flat-screen, while budding chefs will be drawn to the kitchen's contemporary amenities and expansive workspace, setting the stage for every culinary endeavor.

Beautiful House in a Great Location

Thank you for sharing your home! We had a great time once again on Sanibel. Lake Murex is a beautiful area on the island and this home is positioned in a very nice spot. You look across the lake to tons of birds on the little island in the lake and with the sun setting behind. Easy access to Ding Darling National Wildlife Reserve, kayaking in Tarpon Bay, or the stores on Periwinkle Way (all of which we again did on this trip). The house is very nicely appointed, and Jorge was quick to reply to any queries.

Spring Break 2024

The property was bigger and nicer than we expected. We had good communication with the owner. We really appreciated the beach equipment and bikes that the owner allowed us to use. We definitely recommend this house and we will probably come back.

perfect!

This property far exceeded the description on VRBO. All the comforts of home in a beautiful setting on a small lake close to the Gulf. Everything was lovely and most importantly the hostess was so quick to respond and help with any of our questions. Highly recommended!!!

Sanibel Sanctuary

We truly enjoyed the spa like features of this relaxing home, to include the outdoor veranda, expansive space and open floor concept, exceptional quality home, kitchen, bedrooms and bathrooms and recreational space in the basement where we had countless hours of fun with our family. Thank you to the very gracious hosts who were readily available though we realized very quickly we wouldn’t need anything because it was all at the house!

Highly Recommend

The host was excellent and provided all the amenities anyone would need. The host also communicated quickly if needed and offered recommendations when asked. The house was beautiful, very clean, and the elevator was a major plus for hauling luggage and groceries. The screened in patio is very nice during the day or evening. Plenty of seating. We also enjoyed our visit from “Frank” the lizard by the lake each day. 😜

Peaceful

There were 4 of us staying at the property. All of us kept saying. "it is so peaceful here". The property is meticulously maintained. Everything was in perfect order when we arrived. There is an access code to enter the home. I did have to contact the host because I couldn't get it to work at first. Turns out that I just wasn't pressing the logo button hard enough. (it may actually have been sticking the first few times we just it) . The house had lots of towels and bed linens. The kitchen has a large selection of dishes, pots and pans, utensils and cooking tools. All appliances are top of the line. We spent lots of time on the screened in porch watching wildlife and relaxing. we even saw an alligator. The second floor living room was very comfortable. We were able to connect our computer to the TV using the provided HDMI cable. The bedrooms are quite large. The beds in the rooms we used were very comfortable. The owner has very nicely provided ample beach chairs and a beach umbrella. There were also 2 bikes that we used to get to the beach. We rented two additional bikes and a lock. There is an elevator; we did not use it. It was however in working order. We felt very comfortable and at home during our stay. Only the master bathroom had a blow dryer. It might be helpful to bring another with you especially since one of the bathrooms is on the first floor, quite a bit away from the master. The owners are very nice and great to work with. We hope to return next year
