Breath-Taking Villas Made for the Island Life
When you’re embarking on a vacation to a destination as magnificent as Sanibel Island, you should have a vacation rental to match—and you’ve found it in one of our Sanibel Island villas! All of our properties feature unique characteristics that will enhance your vacation and make it unforgettable, whether it’s an abundance of community amenities or private features in a luxury rental.
All of our rentals have high-end amenities, modern appliances, ample space, comfortable beds, and relaxed lounge areas. We make it possible for you and all of your guests to have their own space, spread out, and really relax during your holiday. The last thing you want is to be on top of one another!
Our properties typically have a private outdoor space that makes it ideal for watching the sunrise or sunset with a cup of coffee or a beer. After watching the sunrise from your balcony, head inside and whip up a fresh breakfast with your new modern kitchen appliances.
You can also lounge around in the living room area, complete with cozy couches, plush chairs, and ample seating area for you and your family or guests. The living room is connected to the kitchen and the private outdoor space, with an open floor plan that makes the space feel even bigger than it already is!
If you are tired after a long day of exploring the nearby Sanibel Harbor area, then you might want to relax and destress in your bedroom. You can curl up in your master bedroom with a king-sized bed and turn on the TV to watch your favorite show and unwind.
Stay connected with Wi-Fi in most of our rentals, and inviting bedrooms provide the perfect place to kick back and unwind after a day of exploring the island. From Gulf views to furnished balconies where you can kick back with a book and relax in the Gulf breeze, our villas have the highlights that will make you want to come back as soon as possible!

You’re Invited to a Sanibel Island Adventure
Catch some waves in the bright sunshine or spend the day enjoying the sunshine on the beach—with so much to do on Sanibel Island, you can create a vacation that’s entirely your style! Take an afternoon to ride bikes around the island, and even ride into the local J.N. “Ding” Darling National Wildlife Refuge where you can cycle a four-mile loop with a chance to spot some wildlife. Shoppers will rejoice that there are a multitude of local shops at various shopping centers in town, and that all of them boast their own restaurants! We also have Sanibel Island Winter Rentals.
If you visit Sanibel Island during any time of the year, you can experience pristine weather, long sunny days, and ample outdoor activities to do for people of all ages. We love going biking on the flat bike paths along the water, kayaking in the gentle waves, and walking along the beach and collecting shells with your kids.
Some other fun things to do for a full day of adventure on Sanibel Island is to check out Captiva Island. The lesser-visited island is just a bridge away from downtown Sanibel, making it the ideal half-day trip for those who want to have more solitude and peace.
We also love going to Blind Pass Beach if you want to check out pristine sunset views, calm waters, and fewer children and people than on the main beaches. Blind Pass Beach goes across both Sanibel Island and Captiva, making it the perfect place to visit on the way back from your day trip to Captiva Island. Head here in the evening to pick shells, fish with your children, or watch the sunset in silence.
We also love the endless restaurants, eateries, cafes, bars, and pubs that you can find on the island! If you are in the mood for tropical dining, then look no further than these top options.
We recommend heading to The Mad Hatter on Sanibel Captiva Road. This northern restaurant is great for those who are staying at the very northernmost tip of the island strip. Just over the bridge to Captiva Island, a lesser-visited spot, this area is great for those who want fewer crowds. At The Mad Hatter, we recommend getting a plate of seafood to share with the table as you watch the sunset from the amazing view at your table.
Next, check out Sweet Melissa’s Cafe the next day for a filling and healthy lunch. Located on Periwinkle Way, this restaurant is known for its fresh food and produce. Melissa’s Cafe has mouthwatering desserts, an upscale atmosphere, and beautifully presented food, making it the ideal spot for date night on vacation.
For vacationers who want traditional Italian food, we highly recommend going to Cielo. Not only will you be able to end the meal with a filling and sweet dessert of caramel mousse and tiramisu, this restaurant produces hearty and filling Italian delicacies, like pasta, duck breast, or chicken Parmigiana.
If you come to Sanibel Island with your friends who want a casual spot to get a great burger, then head to The Island Cow. This laid-back spot on Periwinkle Way is perfect for a filling lunch or laid-back dinner with great burgers, sandwiches, and beer.
We also love the Bleu Rendezvous French Bistro on Periwinkle Way. Instead of a casual spot, you might find yourself in Sanibel Island for a special occasion. In this case, head to Bleu Rendezvous to get French delicacies like escargot and duck breast.
