About this property

Cozy Island Home Fully Restored at three minutes walking distance to the beach!

Here is the home you've been waiting for, located in the heart of Sanibel Island, ideal for couples retreat,. The location is absolutely brilliant: it is secluded but at the same time the beach is 3 minutes walk away, about 600 feet from the gulf of Mexico, tennis (Beachview) is 5 minutes walk and the golf course (Sanibel Island) is a 2 minutes drive. Restaurants and shops are all within biking distance. You’ll love my place because of the relaxed ambiance, outdoor spaces, neighborhood, and the proximity to the beach.
Just restored and renovated after hurricane Ian damage offers open concept kitchen, breakfast room, family room, and relaxing room with sliding patio doors that can be opened to give you a spacious living area. Large backyard with extended wooden deck with peaceful view to enjoy the sunny days of Florida. Paradise awaits! While making your way around Sanibel and surroundings you will be greeted by many birds, dolphins, manatee and many species of fish. You will boat, kayak, paddle board, drive, walk or rent bikes and ride around the island you will not need to drive a car. The home is equipped with High-Speed Internet and WiFi, and two full size flat screen high definition 4 K Smart TVs. beach chairs, cooler.
INSIDE THE HOUSE
From the peaceful street, pull into the gravel driveway with room for 2 to 3 cars. Make your way up the path to the front porch, noticing the nicely landscaped and private front yard.
Enter the home into the living room and the covered interior cozy patio room like a sunroom integrated with sliding doors making a spacious open concept living area for your comfort, where large picture windows let in lots of natural light. After a long day exploring, put your feet up on the comfy couches or love seat, flipping through the channels on the 65” curve flat-screen ultra-high-definition Smart TV.
Just beyond the living room you’ll find a 6-person dining table. White and bright, the kitchen is stocked with full-size appliances including a stove/oven, dishwasher and microwave and extras like blender, toaster, regular brewer coffee maker. No need to over pack; bedding, towels and beach towels are provided, and the laundry room houses a washer and dryer so you can stay caught up on the laundry. The house is fully equipped with cookware, dinnerware, flatware and cutlery. On demand we offer grocery stocking if you like us to buy your basic pantry and fridge goodies before your arrival.
Beyond the dining and kitchen you can access the back deck through a sliding door with a relaxing seating area to enjoy the warm Florida weather overlooking the tropical landscaping, and the barbecue deck with large gas grill and a patio table that seats 6 for dining.
Down the main hallway on the left, there is a full modern bathroom with single sink vanity, toilet, spa shower and privacy window, and the 2nd room that has two twin beds, closet, a chair and two windows overlooking the backyard and side yard; on the right is the master bedroom that has a comfy king bed, a dresser, chair, two windows overlooking the side and front yard, and a 50” flat screen ultra-high definition TV.

Tropical Paradise

Wonderful experience! The Back yard is a tropical paradise and highly recommend spending as much time back there as possible, we saw more wildlife in our own yard than anywhere else, 3 different kinds of woodpeckers and one had a nest with babies in the backyard, also there is a owl nest in the backyard. There is Wonderful high quality Accommodations such as a Blender, cookware, Towels and my husband fell in love with the curved TV in the family room!! Definitely would love to stay at this property many more times in the future, I can not give it enough praise!

Perfect

The photos don't do this place justice. We stayed here as a single family of 4 and it was perfectly beautiful. Its modern decor doesn't feel like a rental at all! The landscaping feels like paradise with lots of space outside. Everything you need for the beach is here. The owners thought of all sorts of details, like having enough charging stations. The linens smell delicious. The worst thing I can say about it is that the garbage can under the sink is annoying to pull out. That's if I really dig for something negative to say. Otherwise everything from the soft sheets, dreamy pillows, rainforest shower head, restaurant fridge and movie room were wonderful. It's all stuff I would want in my own home. The street is tucked away, but only 2 blocks from the beach so you get quiet and access at the same time. It's a short bike ride through a little bird sanctuary to DQ, a market and a few other places. Also, the WiFi is speedy so I was able to WFH with kids doing their thing on devices as well. Can't say enough good things about this place.

A beautiful spot for a beach holiday

This is a gorgeous property. Exactly as advertised. Very clean and so close to the beach. We loved our stay there and would go back any time. The house is very well equipped, and it had everything we needed for a long stay. The backyard is beautiful, the beds are comfy, there are plenty of sheets and towels. We appreciated the big tv for nights in, and the Nespresso machine.

Great place to stay! This little cottage is equipped with everything including bikes, beach chairs,,

Perfect location! Short walk to the beautiful beach, even shorter when you carry the beach chairs on your back, which is easy, and bike over. Would love to stay there again but it's hard to find an open slot in Feb /Mar. Thanks Guido

Great location! Beautiful home!

We had a wonderful and very relaxing vacation. We can’t wait to go back. This house is so close to the beach, local restaurants, gift shops, etc. that you can either walk or ride bikes to. We loved waking up early and taking our morning bike ride to explore the island and then coming back and spending the rest of the day at the beach. The house provided a cart that we could strap the four beach chairs to and also a little red cart that we would load with our cooler and our shell bags to collect the beautiful shells that we collected each day. The house was very clean and very well organized. The only few things we wished the house would’ve had more of were towels for the bathroom and the kitchen and also some dresser drawers that we could put our clothes away in. Other than that you will love your stay at this vacation home!

Ideally located for a relaxing break

The home is in a quiet location only 2 to 3 minutes from the beach. It is well furnished with every need catered for. The garden is secluded and provides an area to relax in with all the garden furniture to enable you to do just that. What we also liked was the fact that shops and restaurants were all within walking distance and we barely used our car. We would strongly recommend this home and we will return.

The newly renovated/decorated house is a block away from a beautiful beach. The owners have made sure that everything you need for a week at the beach is at the house. Relax and enjoy!

Fabulous stay. Beautiful property close to beach.

Loved our stay and the owners could not be more responsive. The house had absolutely everything you would need, especially for the beach. I had expected to have to buy a sun umbrella, but the house had a cooler, quality beach chairs and beach towels, umbrella and a cart to take them - we didn't need anything else. Beach was only a 5 min walk. The house was beautifully decorated with high end equipment, furniture and linens. The gardens were well kept and tropical, a nice little oasis. Much more than you would expect. It felt like home and you can tell the owners loved this property. We used the bikes to cycle everywhere. One had a flat tire and Guido had it fixed straight away. We had a problem with the AC and this was fixed very timely and the owners sent their cleaner in - what an immaculate job she does - I have never had the contents of my fridge tidied up before. We loved this place and always enjoy coming to Sanibel. Hope to be back and would definitely love to stay here again. Ciao

A Perfect Getaway!

My husband and I spent 10 relaxing days at this wonderful property. Although the weather wasn't cooperating we still managed to have a great time. The house is beautifully decorated and supplied with all the necessities. The TVs are great, the bed and sheets fabulously comfortable, and the backyard peaceful. The property is within a few minute walk to the beach and a short bike ride to all of our favorite restaurants of Sanibel. We thoroughly enjoyed it and were sad to leave. Thank you to the accommodating hosts!

Quiet, immaculate & a slice of heaven!

We expected a beautiful place, and it was. What we could not have known is how peaceful and comfortable Cosa Nostra would be. House is immaculate, beautifully decorated, and every need is anticipated. Owner is very responsive. Garden and deck were lush and peaceful, perfect for enjoying meals or just relaxing. Beach a short stroll, not crowded. Bikes opened up the island to us. We hated to leave.

Clean, well kept, comfortable and a great location

The house was very clean and well kept. The beds were comfortable. The outdoor living area was awesome. Very quiet and friendly neighborhood. Didn't think we would use the bikes but so glad they were there. We round them all over the island and they made travel in Sanibel much faster. Everything was as pictured. Owner is very polite, respectful and quick to respond. Will definitely stay there again.

Beautiful home. Very close to a lovely beach. Very accommodating hosts.

My family very much enjoyed our stay here. The house is beautiful and had everything we could have possibly needed. The hosts were very quick to respond to any questions or needs we had. The house is a very quick walk to the beach and the host-provided bikes were all we needed as far as transportation was concerned on the island. A great vacation spot!

Amazing! This roomy house has everything you need for a great stay. It is beautifully decorated and has a top of the line equipped kitchen, with lots of extras you don't always find in a rental. It has a huge lush backyard to admire from a comfy back deck. It's a short walk to the beach. We highly recommend this home and hope to visit again.
