Vacation Starts Here! Rest & Relax with Fantastic Beach Views

Make Memories at the beach in our 2 bedroom/2 bathroom condo.

Imagine walking in the front door and find a picture window with a full beach view in front of you!
Our Beach Retreat is the perfect getaway spot - Sanibel is a nature sanctuary, nature surrounds you, no high rise buildings block the view of the courtyard, beach or water. Covid concerns- We have added a UV light system to our air conditioner to kill bacteria and viruses in the air and our housekeeper has implemented additional cleaning and sanitizing procedures. Check in and check out without human contact too.

Loggerhead was hit by Hurricane Ian but we celebrated our grand reopening on Feb. 5. The major building repairs are done, the pool has reopened and the pickleball and tennis courts will be ready in the next few weeks. You can book your court time ahead of time or just show up and join a pick up game with the rackets we provide our guests. Lap Swimmers- Loggerhead has set aside 8-9 a.m. and 4-5 p.m. as adults only swim times.

Ready for a vacation? Imagine spending your vacation in one of the few complexes that's so close to the shoreline that you can hear the surf while sitting on the lanai. This is a shell seekers paradise ! Sanibel is known for its abundance and variety of seashells. There is even a Shell Museum here.
Our Loggerhead Cay condo is the one for you! Well maintained, beautifully decorated 2nd floor, Building 1 condo with wonderful views of the beach and Gulf. You will have an assigned parking spot, just steps from the elevator,( elevator due to be functional as of 2/17/2024) making it easy to move right in. Built before Sanibel building setbacks were established, this condo is in one of the closest to the beach buildings on the island! This is the perfect place to relax, unwind and make wonderful memories.

The open kitchen, dining, living space allows everyone to be together in one large room. Our unit sleeps six, the bed set-up lets everyone sleep in a bed - nobody has to sleep in the living room on a hideaway sofa bed. Beds- Primary has a King Bed and the Guest room has a Queen and Twin Bunk beds. This condo is fully stocked, just bring your swimsuit and flip flops and you are ready to relax on the beach on the lounge chairs we have provided, build a sandcastle, with the beach toys we provide, take a swim in the heated complex pool then dry off with the provided beach towels, explore the island and learn the 'Sanibel Stoop'. Alert- shelling is addictive! The lanai is the perfect location to enjoy breakfast or to unwind after a day spent exploring. Just don't let the sound of the waves put you to sleep! Too much fun in the sun - relax in the living room and enjoy a movie from our DVD library on the 55" flatscreen TV or select a book from the many we offer our guests. This is a non-smoking, pet free unit. 132 is in Building 1, and looks directly out over the gulf.
Rental rates are usually determined by each units' proximity to the beach.

This is a non smoking unit; smokers are asked not to request a booking as the smoke smell on all of your personal goods will linger after you depart. The smoker will be financially responsible for any additional cleaning that is required.
Our condo is also pet free due to a family member with a severe dander allergy.

LEE COUNTY, FL - Press Release Winter 2021
Sanibel Island is the number one travel destination in the world, according to travel guru Arthur Frommer, the mastermind behind Frommer's guidebooks and Budget Travel magazine.
Frommer recently ranked his ten favorite places to visit and listed Sanibel first above destinations like Bali and Paris. He rated the shelling, beachy vibe, restaurant options and convenience of traveling to the Island very high.

Sanibel Island offers something for everyone. There are bike paths, a nature sanctuary, great shops and restaurants and of course, wonderful beaches covered in shells. Traveling with children? Sanibel Seaschool and Ding Darling Nature Preserve offer programming and experiences for children and families. We have done the dolphin breakfast cruise from Ding Darling several times and the kids love it. Sanibel has no stoplights, no high rise buildings and a dark sky ordinance - only low voltage lighting can be used at night. This is a wonderful place to relax and enjoy nature. The Sanibel Lighthouse ( lighting the path to San Carlos Bay since 1884) is a nice walk down the beach from our condo, as is the fishing pier (The pier was severely damaged by Ian and not yet rebuilt as of 02/2024). East Gulf drive has easy access to Periwinkle for shopping and restaurants and is just 5 minutes from the Causeway.

Being on the second floor in our condo puts you at the treetops, above the human noise on the ground level but you are still close enough to enjoy the sounds of nature. Both the beach and pool are just a minute walk from this condo.

Electronics- We provide secure high speed internet/WiFi for our guests. There are 3 flat screen TVs with cable and a DVD player in the guest room. Need a break from electronics - we offer books and games and a chaise for napping on the lanai.

The kitchen has most everything you may need, including a crock pot so you can start dinner and head out to enjoy the day and know that you have dinner waiting for you when you return.
The Beach Retreat is the perfect place to stay for your Sanibel vacation!

Why Sanibel ? - We love to be away from the busy lives we live and to just relax and hang out with our family and friends on the beach. Getting to escape the winter weather in the Midwest is a bonus! Having been transferred several times, our youngest pointed out that Loggerhead Cay is the best place he has ever lived. I agree!
Let Sanibel be your family's favorite vacation spot too!

The Best!
We understood that Sanibel is in recovery mode when we made our reservation. Loggerhead Cay has led the way in preparing for visitors. Pool was big and perfect. The condo itself exceeded our expectations. Very clean with many amenities that made stay easy and relaxing. (Beach toys and chairs, paper goods, kid friendly dishes, kitchen supplies). Condo decor is lovely and owners have given a lot of effort to details. We hosted our adult child, spouse, and school age children and accommodations made for a great time for everyone. Thanks!

Beautiful condo
This condo and property was great. The property itself is very well maintained and the landscaping is lush and beautiful. The condo was very homey and the carpet and furniture was very nice. The beds were comfortable and the second bedroom having a bunk bed and a regular bed was so great for us. It was decorated nicely and the kitchen was well stocked. The only thing we found a tad inconvenient was having to stop at the property management building to get our keys, and subsequently returning then there as well, but that’s just because we were very excited to start our vacation and didn’t want to stop anywhere except the condo lol. We will definitely be staying again!

Luxury and Comfort
WHAT A CONDO!! Felt like I was staying at the Ritz or Four Seasons. I've been vacationing in Sanibel for over 20 years and this is they nicest condo I have stayed at from the carpet to the granite counter tops to the SPECTACULAR view. Really can't emphasize enough how much waking up and drinking coffee while staring out the window to see the ocean makes a vacation! The condo had so much to offer. The couches were so comfortable, dining table was large and the living room spacious. The details from the crown moulding, to the under cabinet lights in the kitchen were so sheek. There was a lot of beach equipment and board games to keep busy during afternoon storms. The condo was less than a 2 minute walk to the water! Seriously! Lori was very communicative and provided every piece of information plus more. Will definitely be staying here on the next visit to the Island! 5 STAR STAY!!

About the host

Host profile image
Living in the Midwest, we love to escape winter on Sanibel.

Why they chose this property

This is our slice of tropical paradise. Sanibel is the perfect place to escape to; laid back and slow paced - we come here for R & R and great family time. Three generations of family has been visiting Sanibel since the 1960's! This condo is large enough to allow everyone their 'own' space. We are close enough to the beach that we can wake to the sounds of the surf and enjoy the beachviews all day. Nothing clears your head like a stroll on the beach! Loggerhead Cay has onsite management, beautiful grounds and is one of the best maintained complexes on the Island. The easy access to all of the amenities on the island and to the causeway make it the perfect place to stay!

What makes this property unique

We love to come to Sanibel and do nothing - no schedules to keep, we are on island time. Our children are spread all over the world and we treasure our time together as a family when we are here. Much of our time is spent on the beach or by the pool and we all enjoy breakfast on the lanai. Sanibel is where we come to reconnect with nature during the cold winter months. We like to start our day with a walk on the beach. And then there's our quest to find the best slice of key lime pie on the island - we get a slice at every restaurant we go to for everyone to taste and rate. We always leave here relaxed and reconnected with lots of new memories. So far, the Key Lime Pie at Gramma Dot's is our favorite!
Spend a week on Sanibel to Relax, Rejuvenate & Reconnect!
