Pictures do not do this place justice….such a beautiful place with everything you can ask for. The location was perfect, walk right out to beach. Owners were amazing, answered any and all questions, even sent us things to on the 4th of July!

So happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay at the condo. We love what we do and enjoy helping others love, Sanibel.
Fantastic condo, first floor level. Cute beach decor and very clean. Well thought out and has every thing you need, including beach towels, cart and chairs. There was a side chair that was also a recliner, if you happen to need one for extra support.The hosts were responsive to questions we had. Great condo in a wonderful location. Seashells are plentiful right in front of the condo. You can also see sunrises and sunsets right from the condo. We will be back!

So glad to hear you enjoyed your stay and found the recliner comfortable. Look forward to your return.
This is a very nice unit in a great location. Loggerhead cay is a quiet, relaxing place. The pool closes at dusk and there isn't much on the island open past 9, so, not the place to go for night life. We have been to virtually every beach in Florida over the years and Sanibel is as good as anywhere. This particular unit might actually be the closest rental to the water on sanibel island. Booking, check in, check out, communication, everything was smooth.

Sanibel is popular for its peaceful, laid-back atmosphere and is a wonderful destination for those looking to enjoy quiet evenings rather than nightlife. Loggerhead Cay’s pool hours are established by the community and are intended to respect the peaceful atmosphere of the property. Sanibel’s quiet, nature-focused character is one of the reasons so many of our guests return year after year.
We were very comfortable. Had everything we needed and the view was great! Would be happy to stay here again:)

We enjoyed a wonderful week on Sanibel! The view from our living room area was spectacular. Shore birds visited us every day right outside of our door. The host was attentive to all of our needs. The condo was supplied with everything that we needed. We highly recommend this rental.

We stayed in this unit in July right before Ian. It was amazing then. This is our first time back to Sanibel since and wanted to stay here. Beautiful reconstruction. All details spot on. Perfect location. Didn’t need anything from hosts, but comforted to know they were there. Loggerhead Cay complex is striking. Happy to see sanibel is back!
This is our second year staying here, Keith and Mary are truly wonderful hosts. Condo is extremely well appointed with everything you might need and many things you didn’t know you needed ;) location is fabulous - walk right out to the beach. Perfect for families.

Sanibel never disappoints! We truly appreciate you taking the time to write such a wonderful review.
Absolutely incredible family vacation. Loved being on the first floor. Beautiful view. Big kitchen. So many amenities. There was clearly a lot of thought from the owners about what would make a great beach vacation on a tiny island. The beach chairs and trolly to carry everything out to the beach were so helpful. I’m actually on the app right now to book again next year.

Amy, Thanks for staying in our little piece of paradise AGAIN!!!! We ❤️Return customers and your great review!
Our second year at the condo and had a perfect time. It is so attractively furnished as is the Loggerhead Cay property well maintained. You can’t get a better beachview! We appreciate all the attention to detail with the amenities of bath and beach towels, soaps, etc and the thoughtful cabinet of “if you have forgotten” items.The kitchen provides about everything needed with plates, glassware, utensils- it would be nice to have a few more coffee mugs and one or two more serving plates if possible.We highly recommend this place to vacation.
