Perfect for us. Very happy campers. Relaxed and chilled and all expectations met...,the neighbours were amazingly welcome given the troubles they were experiencing after the hurricane. Thank you Sanibel Holiday that as long standing customers for nearly 30 years we are valued and blessed to have had this lovely home to enjoy despite everything the hurricane hurled at the island. xxxooo

This is our second time renting this house. We will be renting it again in 2025. There are four adults in our group. The living quarters are very spacious. The kitchen has the necessary sundry items that allowed us to prepare meals. Although there was no Keurig machine. The toaster is a two slice toaster which is someone a hindrance with more than two people. But it is doable. If you enjoy cooking, the outdoor kitchen is definitely a bonus. I pretty much use the griddle throughout our entire stay. Since hurricane Ian, the icemaker in the outdoor kitchen has gone missing. Would be nice to have a nice maker again.Lanai with its picture frame screening, gives a great view of the lake. I just wish the landscapers would trim the hedges against the lanai screening shorter so you can enjoy the view while you’re sitting at the dining table. The pool and spa are great. Lots of room for floating. Since our first visit, the wash machine has been replaced with a speed queen, which I consider to be a bonus since I already own one.The homeowner has certainly invested in a quality home entertainment system. It is somewhat a learning curve, but once you master it, you will enjoy all the components.Sanibel Holiday was very accommodating and picking up our trash since the house had a very small garbage container in the garage. Another wish, buy at least two large trash containers that would accommodate six guests for the week.All in all, it was a great experience with the house and with Sanibel Holiday.

We stayed in the Urlaub home for the month of February. This was the third time we have stayed there. Obviously if we didn’t have a great experience we would not have stayed here three times. This home has all of the amenities that make for a great vacation. The house has an open concept which is great for our lifestyle. The lanai and the outdoor kitchen is great for spending time outside. The pool and spa were used on a daily basis. The kids LOVED the pool area and literally spent entire day poolside. The heated pool was very comfortable and we had great weather. Last year I purchased a large stainless steel pot for seafood boils and left it there. We made good use of it again this year. The screen over the pool helps keep bugs out of that area and acts as a sunscreen. I spent 3-1/2 hours in the pool on Day 1 and did not get burned. We like it so much we are coming back in 2026!

We loved every minute of our stay in the Urlaub Haus. The house was well maintained and equipped. It felt like home by the time we had to leave. All the furniture was very comfortable. The pool and the view of the lake make this house stand out. We had our kids visit and we couldn't get our granddaughter out of the pool.The house is located an easy walk to the beach, where the shelling was great. We have already booked our stay for next year.
