Learn more about Sanibel

Hunting for exotic seashells becomes an obsession on this barrier island, where the 'Sanibel Stoop' describes how locals bend to examine beach treasures. The J.N. 'Ding' Darling Wildlife Refuge offers a drive-through safari where alligators and roseate spoonbills pose obligingly for photos. Rent a bike to explore 25 miles of paths that wind past mangroves and through areas where postboxes are shaped like manatees and pelicans. The Bailey-Matthews National Shell Museum displays specimens that make your beach finds seem suddenly inadequate. The historic lighthouse stands sentinel at the island's tip, while Bowman's Beach offers the perfect sunset spot. After Hurricane Ian, the island has rebounded with the stubborn resilience that characterises all barrier island communities.

10/10 Excellent
"This is the second time I have stayed here and I love it. I’m looking forward to coming back. It is such a cute little place. It looks like a little tiki hut, village. The staff is very nice and helpful. They have a beautiful pool and at night all through the property. It looks so cool because they have these tiki torches that come on at night. It’s just a beautiful peaceful place and I would encourage anyone to check it out. You will love it. It’s centrally located on the island so it’s easy to get to everything."
