Family-friendly vacation rentals in Sanibel

I recently stayed at Eric’s Airbnb and had an absolutely wonderful experience. From the moment I arrived, everything exceeded my expectations. The space was spotless, beautifully decorated, and just like the pictures. The location was ideal: tucked away in a quiet neighborhood but still close to everything I needed—shops, restaurants, and some great local attractions. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and I slept better than I had in weeks. Communication with the host was seamless. Eric was friendly, responsive, and provided clear instructions for check-in and check-out. Overall, it was a relaxing and enjoyable stay. I would absolutely book again and recommend this place.

We had a wonderful stay at Derek’s place. Quite frankly, it is the perfect Airbnb. It is a beautiful house in a beautiful neighborhood in beautiful condition. Everything worked perfectly, and Derek was always available within information to assist us with anything we needed. I look forward to the time where I can stay here again.

This house was absolutely incredible! From the moment we arrived, everything was spotless—even the baseboards and ceiling fans were immaculate. The home is super spacious, with room to spread out comfortably (even the garage was huge!). The kitchen was fully stocked with everything you could possibly need to cook indoors or grill outside, and there were multiple dining areas both inside and out. The pool and spa were beyond refreshing—clean, well-maintained, and surrounded by plenty of lounge chairs for everyone. We loved the outdoor eating area and the thoughtful extras like pool toys and bikes, which added a fun touch. My boys especially enjoyed exploring near the canal, which made for some great memories. The beds were super comfy, with plenty of extra linens and cozy throw blankets. The neighborhood was peaceful and quiet, and the house is in a perfect, central location. The hosts were amazing: extremely responsive and helpful.

We rented the house for a family reunion of 7 people, we ended up going only 6 people. We had a great time , we spent most of the time by the pool and inside the Jacuzzi and the pool. I will suggest to the Host to a couple of Lights or Flood lights in the back patio by the pool area. If you want to cook a BBB, you have to do it before it gets dark, the only light is the one inside the pool.

We had a fantastic stay! The house was incredibly well-equipped—there were plenty of essentials like paper towels, toilet paper, and all the little extras that make a stay comfortable and convenient. The pool and hot tub were both in perfect working order and made for a relaxing time day or night. The canal out back was a real highlight—great fishing with a wide variety of fish, including catfish, gar, and more. The house also came with five bicycles available for tenant use, which was a nice bonus, and there were TVs in every room—perfect for unwinding after a long day. The home felt truly luxurious, especially for the price. Jeff was a great host, and everything went smoothly. Highly recommend!

Great place to stay, nice quiet neighborhood. If your looking for a quiet place near a lot of beaches, this is the place.

We really enjoyed our time here. Beautiful space and decorated nicely. The grill and pool/hot tub was our favorite part!

Alex was very responsive on the occasion we needed him. Followed up with us too. He was a WONDERFUL host. The house and pool could not have been any better. We loved the indoor outdoor living. We found the house to have much more than we expected. Lots of kitchen supplies that were not expected. We live near by and had visitors from out of state and we would highly recommend this place to anyone all ages. Oh and our 2 little pups had a great times. So happy we can take them with us. We would for sure stay again. Thanks Alex.

Location is close enough to bike into downtown FMB and to the Publix, and we did both during our stay! The kids enjoyed the pool. House was stocked with everything you'd need for a day at the beach, which was much appreciated!

Great home. We were very satisfied and would highly recommend this location.

The house is very spacious and well equipped. It served exactly our trip purpose. The distance to the beach is totally walkable, thought in 90 degree heat it was a bit of a challenge. The distance to restaurants, shopping centers and grocery stores is great, less than 10 minutes drive, probably walkable but we did not try to walk to the stores. Communication was very easy, instructions crystal clear. The pool is small, and there’s no backyard around it. It got pretty warm outside with the typical weather we experienced, not much air circulation especially the night we grilled. Still, it got us together, relaxing. I couldn’t imagine not having a pool. If I was going back to Naples I would stay there again!

We spent the month of March at this home and enjoyed the experience. With only solar heat we were afraid we wouldn’t use the pool but it was great and enjoyed lots of floats. We thoroughly enjoyed the outdoor area and beautiful canal views. Everything looked like the pictures. We loved the quiet neighborhood too

The home was amazing with a heated pool, 5 minute drive and 20 minute walk to vanderbilt beach. The kitchen has everything you need and the bedrooms were great.

Great location! The place is very clean and the beds are super comfortable. The couch in the living room is very uncomfortable, but everything else was great.

The house is beautiful. It is very clean and had everything we needed for the week. We really enjoyed spending time in the enclosed pool area.

Very good stay at the house, which matched the listing exactly. Complete, comfortable and clean. Totally recommended.

This condo was beautifully put together. Had beach chairs, nets, and other beach accessories. The pool and beach are right outside and the resort the property is located at is very peaceful and quiet. Our family had a great trip and highly enjoyed this property and location.

If you are fortunate enough to come across Fatemeh’s listing - book it immediately! Fatemeh’s beautiful bungalow is the place to stay! We have stayed at many places in our travels to Sanibel Island and Fatemeh’s place is by far our favorite- I am a picky renter too! She is quick to respond to questions, made checking in a breeze and even messaged us a few days in to see if we needed anything. The community is amazing and the pools are a dream with a tiki bar for both drinks and food. There were bikes and beach chairs to use too. Her place is a 5⭐️ rental. You will be glad you took my advice- I promise!

The condo was great! It was everything we were looking for. The beach is super close! Even closer than the pictures look! So many shells were found on the beach. Didn’t even need to go to another beach. Went on a private charter recommended by the host and the captain was great! We had dolphins jumping in the boat wake, went to an island only accessible by boat and found SOOOO many shells and the guys fished their hearts out! Truly an amazing vacation! Just note as of June 2024 the island is in construction mode. There was lots of banging as early as 7am! We knew that before we went and weren’t bothered much by it, but if you need all day quite the island isn’t ready for you!

We had such a wonderful stay in Cape Coral! The home was beautiful, clean, and had everything we needed for a relaxing vacation. The hosts were incredibly kind and responsive, and they went above and beyond to make our trip comfortable. We truly appreciated their flexibility in allowing us to check in early and stay later on our departure day due to our flight times—it made a big difference and gave us more time to enjoy the property. Highly recommend this stay to anyone visiting the area!

We had a great stay at this house! The home was spotless and had everything we needed for a comfortable visit. We enjoyed the outdoor space, with the pool being a definite highlight. Easy check-in process and host was very responsive. Highly recommend this place for a relaxing getaway!

Beautiful place, great view from the lanai, peaceful area. Very attentive owners. We loved everything about this trip and truly did not want to leave.

Great stay!!! Will definitely stay here again! Close to places to go, but very quiet and peaceful! Provided everything we needed!

This was a great place to stay. Plenty of towels, very comfy bed and a great place to have a little stay-cation!
