About this house rental
Escape to Spoonbill, an inviting and laid-back beach retreat just a 3-minute stroll from the Gulf of Mexico! Nestled on a quiet shell road with minimal traffic, this classic “Old Florida” home offers a charming, spacious getaway ideal for families or groups seeking a relaxed Sanibel escape.
With four bedrooms and three baths, Spoonbill comfortably accommodates larger groups. The home’s split-level layout provides privacy, featuring two distinct living areas. The main floor includes a family room with a unique driftwood dining table, a well-equipped galley kitchen, and bedrooms with balcony access, perfect for enjoying the fresh Gulf air. The upstairs suite offers a separate queen bedroom, a cozy living space with convertible futons, a wet bar, and an additional balcony with tropical views.
Upcoming Updates:
We’re excited to share that renovations are on the horizon to create an open-plan kitchen and living area and refresh some of the home’s furniture, rugs, and outdoor landscaping. Guests can expect a blend of vintage Florida ambiance with thoughtful modern touches by mid-2024. Note that this will change the home’s layout to a three-bath configuration while maintaining its four comfortable bedrooms.
This dog-friendly property offers high-speed Wi-Fi, a washer and dryer, and plenty of space to relax. Enjoy quiet evenings under the stars, with the sounds of the surf as your backdrop, while still being a short walk from dining, shopping, and the beach. Please note that on rare occasions, showings for future tenants may be scheduled with advance notice.

Great place
This was a pleasure to stay at. It was way closer to the beach than I originally thought when I booked it. It had all the beach stuff you would need plus bikes. We will be coming back again and again.

Fantastic house in a great location
This was my family’s first visit to Sanibel Island. We loved its walkability and bikability. It is very green and family friendly. I highly recommend the weekly Farmers Market next to city hall. Spoonbill is a highly spacious, meticulously equipped and very conveniently located property. The house sits on a very charming and quite street, minutes away from the gorgeous Gulf of Mexico. Many retaraunts, grocery and other attractions on the island are within walking or biking distance away. The house is very comfortable, spacious and well stocked. It even comes with bikes, beach toys and beach cart. All you need is your clothes, and you’d be ready for a fantastic vacation!

Clean and spacious old Florida charm
Spoonbill was perfect for us! We brought our bikes to enjoy all of Sanibel and Spoonbill made that possible. It was clean and spacious for 5 of us, and could have slept more. The location was superb, being only 1&1/2 blocks from the beach access. The street was quiet and friendly with a mixture of residents and rentals.
The Kitchen was cute, providing everything necessary to cook. All towels and linens were supplied, as well as amenities to make beach time great, such as a wagon, umbrella, chairs and toys . There are even bikes available for those who do not bring their own. The air conditioner, furnace, dishwasher, microwave and laundry machines worked perfectly.
The owner, Amy, and manager, Mike, were friendly and responsive and made the rental very welcoming.
