Its location makes it perfect for those who want to explore the island by bike or on foot, enjoy less crowded beaches, and access the best of Sanibel and beyond with ease.

Did I mention shelling? Will you find the royal shell, Junonia, next time you visit?

We have stayed at Loggerhead Cay for several vacations. This unit is the best by far due to the ground level, immediate ocean access. The property manager was responsive and helpful for any questions. I highly recommended this unit.

Fine stay

This condo has quite the view looking directly towards the Gulf. Loggerhead is a wonderful, hidden gem complex. We appreciated the soap in the bathroom. The use of laundry soap was nice too.

AMAZING! Everything about this place is great. Location and proximity to the beach can’t beat. Cleanliness of condo was spot on. Communication was fantastic from booking, during and after. Caihlin went above and beyond! Items provided in the condo included plenty of starter supplies, laundry soap and kitchen staples. Everything needed for the beach included towels, chairs, umbrella, cooler, toys, sea shell bags and a wagon to haul it all to the beach. The condo grounds are immaculately kept, the pool super nice the shell cleaning station a bonus. We loved everything about our stay and the island and are already planning our next trip.
