About this apartment rental

Our Tropical Penthouse is at the end of the second building and affords that extra peace and quiet that you search for when you want to get away from all of the hustle & bustle. I WILL HAVE A NEW TOUR SHOWING THE REMODEL: LVP FLOORING, BRAND NEW KITCHEN WITH UPGRADED APPLIANCES, ETC.

NOTE: THE BATHROOMS ARE NEWER: PRISTINE WHITE PORCELAIN WITH OIL-RUBBED BRONZE PLUMBING ACCESSORIES AND A HAND-MADE VANITY FROM INDONESIA IN THE MASTER BATH. THEY WERE NEWLY REMODELED NOVEMBER 2021.

We are located on the third floor and occupy a portion of the fourth floor, due to our soaring ceilings, which allow for a more open feeling. There are only a few of these unique penthouses on the entire island! (Actually, there are no high-rise buildings on Sanibel, but these units are fondly referred to as ''penthouses''). The 1,385 square feet are all on a single floor. My unit number is #283.

Features: VAULTED CEILINGS, Many Architectural Details, TROPICAL Decor, Glass-Enclosed LANAI with Sliders to capture Ocean Breezes. FULLY-Equipped Kitchen WITH UPGRADED APPLIANCES, W/Dryer. 2 Bedrooms, 2 Full REMODELED Baths, Beds: 1 Queen (Hand-carved), 2 FULL SIZED, Convertible Queen, 2 Dining Areas, Beach Chairs, Cable Satellite, 3 TVs (ONE WITH 47'' FLAT SCREEN-COMCAST HD, DVR), 100s of Channels, 2 DVD PLAYERS, Stereo, CD Player, FREE SECURED WIFI, Outside Elevator


Unique Benefits of Our Family Home: Enjoy our deluxe TROPICAL PENTHOUSE. NEWLY REMODELED. We have a private linen/towel service so that everything will be 'hospital-clean' for you. Established island management company attends to your needs. ALL you have to do is RELAX.

From our enclosed and beautifully-furnished lanai, you can enjoy a quiet breakfast overlooking the well-manicured courtyard and watch the birds light on the palms, Bougainvillea plants, and lush foliage. And there is a distant view of the beach and ocean.

Take the stairs or elevator outside, stroll through the courtyard, pass one of the largest pools on the island (heated), and within a couple of minutes, you will find yourself on the world-renown shelling beach, gazing at the aqua waters with nothing between you and Mexico. Your only decision now is whether to sunbathe, swim or walk--without a care in the world.

Later you may want to walk, bike, or ride to local shops & restaurants. Or cross the bridge to find malls, larger grocery stores, movie complexes, and city conveniences.

Family Memories at The Tropical Penthouse: Our family purchased this condo in 1974, and we kept it as our special family retreat, affording us an abundance of wonderful memories. We had fun redecorating several times, and always kept the tropical theme. We only began to share our secret and to rent a few years ago.

We love to swim out to the buoy, lounge on the beach and read books to each other, bird and people watch, and bike 27 miles on safe bike trails. We go to Captiva, have a Starbucks soy milk and bike back again. We kayak, dance and dine at elegant restaurants as well as eat out at the casual restaurants, shop at Periwinkle Place, eat homemade ice cream at Pinocchio's, watch a sunset on the beach, and take romantic walks. Sometimes we even relax and fall asleep on the beautifully hand-carved bed with the comfy mattress, while ocean breezes surround us. We breathe deeply and sleep soundly. We are in our Tropical Paradise!

About Us: I was a ballerina and later had a career in sales/marketing for a fortune 500 company. My husband was a nuclear chemist. We are now both retired, and we return several times a year to enjoy our beautiful, tropical home. Although we have visited many resorts around the world, we have found that we love our Sanibel home the best! We hope that you will have a chance to enjoy our home and island as much as we do!

We want you to feel like honored guests in our home. We will be available to help you as much as possible. But since we are a state away, we have employed a well-established management/rental company to have your keys waiting for you, to answer any questions, and to just be on hand to make sure that everything is running smoothly & that you having the perfect vacation at our special get-away

Of course we love The Tropical Penthouse. It is our family home. But we hope that you will read our reviews to learn how much our other guests have loved our family retreat also.

Staying at this lovely place was so great! It was immaculate and had every single thing we could have needed. The location is fantastic. It is just a short walk to the beach. Our stay was so quiet which was wonderful. The beds are extremely comfortable. June (property owner) was so sweet. She checked in to make sure we were okay. Our intentions are to return next year. We loved staying at the Tropical Penthouse, true paradise❤️

June was such a wonderful, sweet host and her condo is beautiful! It has so much character, a sparkling newly renovated kitchen, blissful air conditioning, an amazing quiet location, and access to pool and beach right outside the door! My family and I really enjoyed every moment of our time and June was so helpful. I highly recommend Sanibel and if you can snag this spot, you'll be right at home. June's style is so fun and has so much more personality than most places. It's just the right size for 4 adults, and the facilities are unbeatable. We will look forward to coming back one day soon!

Caribbean feel at the beach, very clean, comfortable beds, short walk to the sand. The second bedroom was warm so we did buy a fan (which we left in the closet)
