A quaint resort island located on the Gulf of Mexico and easily accessible from Fort Myers via the causeway toll bridge, Sanibel Island is known for its secluded sugar-sand beaches, considered among the top 3 places in the world for colorful and unique shelling. It's also home to a national wildlife preserve chock full of alligators, fish, birds, raccoons, and even a resident croc. On the seaside, you can catch dolphins feeding daily just a stone's throw from the surf, or watch the most breathtaking fuchsia sunset after a long stroll along the beach. With a fishing license, you can hook some tasty snook, pompano, redfish, snapper and sheepshead just to name a few. Don't forget tarpon for extreme sport fishing. And mention must surely be made of the miles and miles of gorgeous trails available to bike lovers. Whether your heart is set on a tranquil hideaway or a vacation packed with action, you're sure to find everything you need right here on the island. We islanders believe that there's never a dull moment on Sanibel, and we vacationers believe that our time here is always too short!

This is why we are thrilled to offer you a rare opportunity to vacation on Sanibel in one of the loveliest hideaways on the island -- our secret condo, entirely remodeled in March 2007. Our condo is located at the farthest westerly point of Sanibel on the most secluded tropical resort, adjacent to the wildlife preserve. What that means for you is that there's nothing else between you and the sea except for quiet winding paths and a private wooden bridge. Because we consider our condo an extension of our home, we've invested only the best into it hoping to make it as luxurious and comfortable as a resort hotel, only more spacious and affordable. From the exotic hardwood furniture to the fully appointed gourmet kitchen; from the family sized sectional perfect for viewing a movie on the large flat screen TV to the lofty new beds and bedding in each bedroom, we made sure that "rental" means "sweet" (and not "cheap")! Our goal is to make your stay on Sanibel memorable. Once you awaken to the birds cooing and the yellow sun streaming in, once you sit down to sip your coffee or hot tea on the enclosed and private lanai, we think that you'll also consider our Secret Sanibel your home away from home. We invite you to give us a try.
