We look forward every winter to our return to this little treasure. Everything that makes a satisfying stay is within reach or within walking or biking distance. The place is always immaculate, yet warm and inviting. We enjoy sitting in the lanais.

Glad to see Sanibel coming back strong from Ian destruction. Did all of our favorite Sanibel activities during week. Riding bikes, beach combing and eating out.

Will definitely return to property in future.

This is a 1 bedroom cottage in a small complex with a pool. It is walking distance to the beach. It is clean and well maintained. We needed a short term rental and this worked for us. We rented through Sanibel Holiday who we totally trust and have used for about 15 years.

Very well appointed place, clean and spacious. We had everything we needed for the beach, including a small cooler, umbrella and chairs. Small 5 cup coffee pot was perfect for two. No need to bring filters, there's enough in the cabinet to last the next 100 years. :)

Quick bike ride to beach and close to everything we needed.

Would recommend reservations at local restaurants as we were turned away from 4 before finally finding Dante's Kitchen at the outlets. Was surprised to have a superb burger.

Sand Bar, Doc Fords both Sanibel and Captiva were delicious. Sanibel Pizza was pretty good.

Overall loved this place, it was everything we needed.

I'll first preface this by saying my wife and I had a fantastic vacation experience in Sanibel. The island is perfect to slow down and mix beach days with mom and pop boutique restaurants. Every place is accesible!

So, we had a wonderful vacation but I wouldn't say that was because of our rental unit. I want to be fair but also honest about this specific rental experience. And assure you even if you stay here you will still have a great vacation.

First, the Good: The location is amazing. Right in the heart of everything on Sanibel and about .5 mile bike ride or walk to everything you want beach, restaurants, shops, ice cream, etc. The unit also came stocked with everything we needed for the beach which was huge to us. Solid chairs, great umbrella, beach towels,etc.

Second, the "okay": The unit is pretty much no frills and unimpressive. Not bad persay, but expect slightly outdated ammenities, stained beach towels, cracked floors, worn couches, stiff bed, mediocre bedding, etc. So, if you have the right expectations it's a good enough place for the price.

Lastly, the not so good: The unit was described as "Free" bikes included. When we arrived we noticed a note saying there were 4 bikes out front for our use. Well, there were only 2 bikes and 1 was completely un-ridable based on it's condition and the remaining bike was in rough shape. When I called the owner (mangement company) to request help I didn't get any help and was just recommended to go rent our own bikes and 0 offer to help provide them was made which was disappointing because bikes are the way to go on Sanibel. Also, Some of the "rules" and basic house items came with head scratching requirements. For example you only get 2 rolls of single ply toilet paper and then have to go buy more if you need it. Also, at the end of the week we had to wash and dry our beach towels at a community washing machine that required quarters which was just very inconvenient. Not a deal brea

Great vacation!

Thank you so much for your recent 5 star review at Sanibel Shores B1! This property, as well as our A1 unit, is quickly becoming a favorite of our guests looking for budget friendly Sanibel options. Not only is it well priced for a week long stay but is only of those unique properties that can be booked for as few as 4 nights! We hope your future travel plans bring you to Sanibel again soon! We would love to help you find the perfect accommodations for you & your family!

This cottage was in a good location about a 15 mnute walk to the beach on a walking path. It was a very quiet neighborhood and not a lot of traffic. The 2 porches were wonderful. The house was very clean, roomy, and comfortable. We were very pleased and had a great week here.

We had a lovely stay! Sanibel Shores is located at the start of the “strip,” so easy to get into and out of. It was quiet and clean and had both a covered front patio and back patio. Laundry is across the courtyard and $1.50 each to wash/dry. Pool access and an easy bike ride or walk to the public beach at Nerita. This location is also an easy drive to the Lighthouse Beach and offers a back way to the beach and properties on the southern part of the island. Great a/c and fans in both rooms. We will be back!

After being with extended family for 10 days this was a perfect get away for just the 2 of us. The cottage was very clean, neat and organized. We had everything we needed. The grounds were natural so we saw iguanas, lizards and birds right in the yard. The pool was clean and refreshing. And our walk to the beach was delightful. Highly recommend!

We enjoyed the location and overall ambiance of Sanibel Island.
This particular unit B-1 has decrepit bicycles, it took almost 48 hours to get air in flat tires, we ended up renting
Housekeeping supplies and towels, frying pans and cooking utensils, all down market and and not reflective of the daily charge. Unit itself is quite spacious, grounds were disappointing, pool nice.
Great meal at Cielo, Jerry's market was an unexpected find.

Manager's Response

Our Sanibel Shores units are becoming very popular! They are well priced and allow for less than than typical 7 night minimum stay so if you just have time for a quick 4 day getaway to some where warm and tropical this is THE place! Glad you found the cottage spacious and most importantly clean! We hope your travels bring you back to Sanibel Holiday very soon!

We really enjoyed the property and the pool. It was nice and quiet yet close to bike paths and about a 3 minute ride to beach. The bikes need some TLC but worked great. The pillows are not great and the mattress could use an update but I still slept great. I loved the place and would stay again if the bed situation was updated.

Manager's Response

Thank you so much for your review of your stay at Sanibel Shores B1. We are glad to hear the majority of your stay was enjoyable! I will pass along your notes to the owner regarding the mattress and pillows. Guest feedback is invaluable and often drives owners to make changes so we greatly appreciate your comments!
