Welcome to Beachy Keen on Sanibel Island! Did you know, Sanibel is named the “Shelling Capital of the World” so come prepared to find over 250 species of different shells on our beaches! Our island-vibe home was built in 2014 and is located mid-island, on one of the most desired streets on Sanibel with designated owner/renter access to the most beautiful, private beach, the island has to offer! Beachy Keen is equipped with a chefs dream kitchen fully stocked with most of your cooking needs. Spacious dining room table that seats 6 with 3 additional stools at kitchen island, 3 bedrooms, 2 1/2 baths, and a great screened in back lanai.
Open concept home with spacious living room - large deep cushioned sectional, that seats 6 people comfortably, along with a chair and ottomans for seating. Large 75” smart TV in living room, all make this a cozy retreat after a long day of shelling. Master bedroom has a king size bed, 55” TV and a bathroom equipped with a double vanity, a deep soaking tub and a walk-in shower. The 2nd bedroom has a queen size bed and TV and the 3rd bedroom has a king size bed and TV. Both spare bedrooms are joined by a Jack-n-Jill bathroom with a walk-in shower. All bedrooms have comfy linens and plenty of pillows and blankets. There's also a half bath in main living area.
The home has a washer and dryer in a designated space to make laundry a breeze.

From Beachy Keen its just a short walk to the beach or less than a minute drive. With a permitted beach parking lot at end of street. (pass will be provided to renters). Renters may also decide to rent a golf cart or bikes, to ride to the beach. All of Sanibel beaches allow dogs with a leash on. Furry friends are also allowed at our home !!! (Additional fee) This home is on stilts, so stairs are required to gain access to the front door and is not handicap accessible. Covered parking for 4 cars under the house, additional parking in driveway. We are located mid island, far enough away from the traffic but close to all the great restaurants and shopping.

If you would like cleaning during your stay that can be arranged for an additional charge. Our island home is decorated with beach colors and is mermaid themed, it's a very comfy, cozy home that will make you feel like you’re living the true island life! This is why we call our home Beachy Keen!!

Across the road is Ding Darling Wild Life Refuge (main entrance 1.9 miles away), where you can see most of what nature has to offer in Southwest Florida including: alligators, birds, manatees, fish, dolphins and so much more!!! Only 3.2 miles up the road you will find the only Shell Museum in the world! And if you’re a foodie, you’ll be in heaven with the quaint restaurants on the island. Did you know that Sanibel Island has a dark sky compliance, which means no street lights anywhere on island making the stars at night look like something from out of this world! Perfect for a night time stroll on the beach to stargaze.

After a long day on the beach hauling all your shells enjoy rinsing off in our secluded, outdoor zen garden shower area including hot water! Great way to end the day after the beach and to rinse off the salt and sand. We will be delighted to host your stay and know you will be so pleased with our home with our special touches and the close attention to detailed to assure you have a memorable vacation.

Although the island vegetation has been impacted by the hurricanes, its slowly growing back and the birds are even more visible than ever before including Bald Eagles, Egrets, Herons, Roseate Spoonbills, Storks, Ospreys, Ibis, Pelicans, Flamingos, White Pelicans and so many more! And ready to entertain you daily. So be sure to have your camera ready while sipping your morning coffee on the back lanai and grab your binoculars while in your pjs to check out this spectacular show and prepare your mind for a shelling day on our spectacular beach. After all , you’re on vacation….time to unwind, relax and enjoy, we got you covered literally with the best roof in town!

Where did the Month Go?!!!

Enjoyed every minute in this beautiful home! The host was accessible and responsive; she thought of every detail. The beach was not crowded and was only a short walk. Our favorite spot was the wonderful, large screened porch - so comfortable and peaceful with the many visits from birds and breezes. Definitely a winner!

Wonderful Sanibel Home

We had a very comfortable and relaxing experience staying here. It’s a really lovely home at the quiet end of the island. Amedia thinks of everything and is quick to respond to any requests. She genuinely cares about the comfort of her guests. The access to a private beach is incredible! We took long walks there every day. I highly recommend this terrific home!

NEVER WANTED TO LEAVE!

Our Sanibel stay was absolutely perfect from the easy check-in to our departure. Knowing we'd spend a month in our rental, we did a lot of research & this place came out on top. The VRBO listing is accurate - you'll be delighted with the amenities, the cleanliness, the location, and most of all the host, who was simply the best. She answered our questions prior to our visit and was filled with good info our entire stay. The well-appointed kitchen made meal prep so easy. The bedrooms were spacious & the beds were extra comfy. Our favorite area was the large screened in porch - our go-to spot for coffee in the morning and cocktails at night. The private, neighborhood beach is a short walk away and is gorgeous for both sunsets and shelling. The host even provides a parking pass if you'd prefer to drive. She's thought of everything - restaurant tips, area attraction info, etc. You can tell this home is loved: it's warm and welcoming and you'd be foolish to look any further. This is a place our family would return and we're telling all our friends about it. We were beyond impressed and know you will be, too.

This Home Gave Us a Florida Welcome

One of the things I look for when renting a vacation property is "Will this house make me feel like I am in ____?" I don't want to feel like I am in a hotel or back home in Nebraska. This house fit that bill beautifully from its mermaid-themed front door to the merman handing over the kitchen sink. Gorgeous shells met us at the front door, and graced spots throughout the house. The pictures show the house perfectly, but can't truly convey the comfort & "Florida" feel of the house. This house has one of the best equipped kitchens we have ever encountered! Comfortable for our group of 7 to mix & move when preparing meals. The living area was roomy so our 2 grandsons could "run about" without bumping into furniture, while 2 couches comfortably held 5 adults. The screened-in deck drew us for our morning coffee, a candle-lit glass of wine or an afternoon reading session...we were in a special place. The beach was a block away, but we had a parking pass that allowed us to park close to the beach. A flower-filled path lead us to the beach and gorgeous sunsets. Shells galore filled the shore, and we all collected a wide variety of shells. We enjoyed watching the Willets, Sanderlings, and Ruddy Turnstones run along the surf, while brown pelicans and Forester's Terns dove in the waves right next to the shore. The beach was composed of fine sand...wonderful to walk on. Colored piles of shells drew our eyes down & slowed our progress as our fingers searched among the shapes of the calicoes, whelks, conchs to find the perfect souvenir. One of the reasons we wanted to visit Sanibel was "Ding" Darling Bird Refugee. We could not have asked for a better spot. We were only minutes away from the entrance and exit of the Wildlife Drive...we took the drive 2 times everyday. The refuge boundary is on the other side of Sanibel-Captiva Road, so we were able to see Ibis, Collared Doves, Pileated Woodpeckers, & Spoonbills from the screened deck. Ami was a prompt & caring hostess...one of the highlights of our trip was her suggestion we take cruise with one of her friends...Capt Emily. We hired her for a 5 hour cruise to visit some of the other islands. We saw ospreys, manatees & dolphins. Capt Emily made the cruise personal with her stories & knowledge of the islands. I would highly recommend working this into your stay. Any review has limitations...but when I say we hated to leave...that should tell you this home may be your perfect spot.

About the host

Hosted by Amedia Mancini

Host profile image
My husband Kyle and I enjoy shelling on our beach and often find rare shells that we add to our collection. We do enjoy the local restaurants, and have several of our favorites to recommend.

Why they chose this property

The private location is a hidden secret on Sanibel. Located mid-island away from traffic but close enough to shops and restaurants.

What makes this property unique

Lots of attention to details and comfort to ensure you have access to everything you will need to make your time at Beachy Keen perfect. Being located across from the Wildlife refuge, bird enthusiasts will be in heaven.
