I'm so glad you guys had a good stay. Thank you for taking the time to write a review. I look forward to welcoming you back when you need another beach break.
The owner provided everything needed to have a most enjoyable stay. Everything in the owners storage closet ie beach chairs umbrellas wagon and bicycles were in excellent condition. The bicycles even had a light on them which came in handy from our ride home from sunset. Views from her balcony were beautiful and very relaxing. Short walk to beach and pool. The location was perfect. Thank you for sharing your little bit of paradise with us. We will be back.

Thank you for your kind review. I'm so happy you had a good stay. I'm glad those lights came in handy too. I thought they would be very helpful, especially in winter when days are short. I look forward to having you back, in the future.
We loved everything about this property except the floors were dirty when we arrived. They appeared clean but left our feet dark if our shoes were off. We just wore shoes the whole time but not ideal for toddler crawling around on floor.

I am so sorry to hear that. Please, don't hesitate to contact me if there is ever an issue. I would have sent the housekeeper back to mop again. I am happy you enjoyed it otherwise and hope it didn't spoil your stay.
Paula was great and the unit was perfect! It had a good view of the beach and a very short walk ( 1-2 minutes) and you were on the beach. Unit was very well stocked with everything you could need to cook in the kitchen.Will be coming back for sure!

I'm really happy you had a good visit. It's extra nice because the island is kind of quiet right now, so you feel like you have a lot of it to yourself.
I would love to welcome you back anytime. You know how to find me. Have a fun and safe holiday season. How is it going to be 2026 already!!
Room overlooks the beach. The host had thought literally of everything you could want including bicycles and shell buckets and needle and thread.

You found the needle and thread? Lol. I can't really take credit for that. Another guest left it but I decided it was a great idea and left it.
Glad you enjoyed your stay. Have a fun and safe holiday season. I hope to see you sometime in the future.
Thanks for being great guests.
Location was great; just a few steps from the beach. Very clean and all the amenities were great! Looking forward to booking again and coming back soon.
Perfect location. Photos are just like it really is. Had one small issue but owner was right on it. Will definitely stay here again. Very nicely decorated.
This condo was beautiful and Paula is an amazing host! She makes she her guests are cared for and her property is the cleanest we have stayed at through Vrbo. Highly recommend!

Thank you for taking the time to write a review. Having been out of commission since hurricane Ian, I really appreciate getting something more current. I'm glad you had a good stay. I look forward to hosting you again in the future.
My husband and I loved our stay at Sanibel Delight. The property was perfect for our needs, clean and well supplied. We took advantage of the bikes as well, they were perfect for exploring around. Best of all, the distance to the beach cannot be beaten! Lastly, Paula is a great hostess, very communicative and helpful. We’re definitely looking to go back!!
This condo was a great choice and was exactly as we expected. It had a well appointed kitchen with everything you'll need except food. It was very clean, updated and nicely decorated. The amenities of this property are excellent, especially the storage closet with beach and pool accessories along with bikes. Paula our host was easy to communicate with and prompt with replies. We definitely will rent this again.

Thanks for the lovely review, in spite of the rainy weather. I am glad you enjoyed your stay. Sorry I can't control Mother Nature.
This unit is very nice, well appointed, and well stocked. Anything you need for the beach is provided, it made our stay more comfortable. And the VIEW, just amazing! You can’t go wrong with the easy access to the beach, it’s so close you can come back to the unit for anything you need within two minutes. And it’s centrally located to all the great spots on Sanibel. This will be our go-to place from now on.The owner is very friendly and communicative, a true pleasure to work with.

About the host
Hosted by Paula Reiss
I grew up in Louisville, KY. My mother always called me 'nature girl'. From my youngest photos, I seemed to always have an animal nearby. I spent most of my life working with animals in one capacity or another, so when I visited a friend on Sanibel and discovered the natural beauty of the place, I was hooked.
Why they chose this property
In the mid 1980's, I took a job working at C.R.O.W (Care and Rehabilitation of Wildlife), the wildlife rehabilitation hospital on Sanibel. I got to know the island and it's unique, nature - friendly attitudes. I left that job after a couple of years but continued to vacation on Sanibel, regularly. I never found any place else that brought me the peace and tranquility of this island. It is a special place.
What makes this property unique
I searched for several years before finding just the right property. When I opened the front door and saw the phenomenal view, I knew my search was over. Although it is not technically beachfront, it's pretty darn close! This condo has everything I looked for on my vacations, washer/dryer, comfortable sized rooms, large screened lanai. Add to that the fact that nothing can ever be built in front of the unit, to spoil the view, I was sold. Although I am more of a beach person, it is nice to have a pool right outside the building and the complex is NOT next to a public beach, so it isn't crowded.
The 4th floor location makes it safe to sleep with the doors open, listening to the surf. It is a truly great place to spend time.
