P and V – Vandalia, Ohio – February, 2025
Walking in the morning on the beach towards Bowman Beach and of course, shelling! I couldn’t believe all the shells. We also enjoyed the evening sunset. It was beautiful.
This was our first trip to Sanibel. We loved the cottage and the access to the beach. We were only here for a short trip so we spent most of the time enjoying the beach and shelling. The weather was gorgeous. We tried to eat at Doc Fords but there was a tour bus and no parking spots. We went to Rosalitas Cantina and it was very good! We ate in the cottage and found all that we needed at Jerry’s. We hope to come back again!
The best shelling was at the beach by the Lighthouse. The shells were amazing! But one day there were two ladies sitting on the edge of the surf with sifters looking for miniature shells. They had some really beautiful shells just “way smaller”. Paying it forward we have left two small sifters for you to use.
The most relaxing beach was at Bowman’s Beach – just down the street. We took the bikes provided and had a blast. We did go to the family owned shops for gifts to look for starfish and hard to find items. The owner was great and the shells were awesome.
The best pizza was at the “Great White Grill” – amazing! The crust was thin and delicious and all fresh ingredients. Best French fries were at the Lazy Flamingo.
Don’t forget bug spray and sunblock.
I hope that you have as much fun as we did!!

This beach was absolutely extraordinary. What lovely, private, quiet mornings and afternoons we spent there. We have been coming to Sanibel for 10 years to see our friends. We previously stayed at a hotel destroyed by the hurricane 2 years ago. We have been looking for a replacement and we most definitely have found it! We will be booking next year! Thank you Kim for all your help and prompt replies to emails. The cottage is beautiful (mattress is great!), tasteful and calming. We had a wonderful visit.
