We loved our week on Sanibel at the adorable Shell Cottage in a lovely neighborhood within a short walking distance to the beach. It had been completely renovated after Hurricane Ian so everything looked fresh and new with a flair. We spent lots of time on the front screened lanai which felt very private because of the landscaping. Also there was a winding path of shells going to a back raised deck leading to the side door which was pretty with its flowers, trees, and some orchids facing a window. All the seating was very comfortable, inside and out, and the kitchenette was quite workable. There were only 3 things we wish had been supplied - a workable toaster (the lever wouldn't be pushed all the way down the slots - it was a cheap toaster), an easily workable light above the sink and stove - there was one but was very hard to turn on and off, and paper towels. Oh - and we couldn't find a small pot for boiling eggs in - only a very large one. Other than that, everything was perfect, and we would gladly stay there again next March, if available.

We loved the Shell Cottage! Perfect size for us and had everything we needed. An easy and pleasant walk to the beach. Really nice quiet area with great neighbors! Plus, this cottage must have been a good luck charm for us! My husband found the elusive Junonia shell during our stay. We have been visiting Sanibel for years and have spent countless hours looking for this rare and special shell. And this was the lucky visit!

Property was as advertised. Just redone after the hurricane. In a very quiet area. Limited traffic. Nice grounds. House is small, but ideal for what we needed and wanted. A long block from the beach, but very doable for just a short walk. Sanibel still rebuilding and not a lot open. This as of Nov. 18. But there are work crews everywhere helping the process. Great communication between us and the owners, before, during, and after our stay. Nice to know. Short answer. Would I stay here again? Yes.

This place was not for us

My husband and I rented this cottage for 9 days to celebrate our anniversary . We arrived in the late afternoon and left the next morning. I realize there are a lot of fabulous reviews about the space (which is why we reserved it), but the minuses definitely outweighed the pluses for us. First of all, as people who love to cook our own food (which is one of the reasons why we use vrbo, there was virtually NO place to put our groceries in the kitchen. Not even one shelf in the cabinet was available for us. The kitchen is tiny and cramped, and if. you are a family of more than 2, you are going to be banging into each other and wondering where to sit. There were signs on the walls and refrigerators instructing us to DO NOT turn off the security light, DO NOT open the windows (in the "welcome" book), plus a plethora of other rules telling us what we should not do. The security light was bright and supposedly needed to stay on as a deterrent so critters wouldn't mess with the garden. In all the. years we've stayed in vrbo's (and as a touring musician, I can tell. you it has been many), we've never been in a place where we couldn't open the windows or turn off lights. And you were not allowed to move the furniture on the porch to make it more comfortable. The bedrooms are small and the owners belongings are secured in closets. You feel like you are living with them, even though they are not there. I tried sleeping in the bed and felt like I was suffocating so I spent a sleepless night on the couch with the security light. The next morning my husband and I found another place, tidied up after ourselves and left. I reached out to the owner to let him know and requested that he consider giving us a refund or at least partial refund (something would have been nice!) as a good faith, good customer service gesture. I explained why we left and he denied that there were signs and told us well, we could have opened the windows and turned off the lights. Apparently, they'd had problems in the past. He was rude and unpleasant and I would never, never treat a customer this way in my business. We went to another location and had an amazing vacation with an owner who couldn't do enough for us to make our trip memorable. I cannot recommend this location and absolutely cannot recommend the host.
