So glad you all enjoyed your stay and look forward to hosting you again on your next visit to our beautiful island!!
About the host
Hosted by MICHELLE HOWARD
I am originally from the Midwest but central Texas has been my home for over 20 years. I started vacationing in Sanibel with my Mom in the late 80s/early 90's because her love of shelling got me hooked too. I have enjoyed transforming The Lois Pearl (named after my Mom) into a fun, comfortable place to stay and am thankful I can share it with others.
Why they chose this property
The proximity to the beach with a private pool and elevated living were key elements that attracted me to this property.
What makes this property unique
The beachy pink exterior draws you in and the back of the property attracts you with a relaxing lanai and pool area. The front balcony serves as a fabulous place to have coffee. Interior wise, the beachy ambiance continues with the amenities and comforts of home that will keep you coming back.
