Reviewer Comments:
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Shimmering Shells! Our family consisted of a rotating cast of our 4 adult children, their significant others and two dogs. I cannot express how thankful we were for the dog-friendly aspect as a month away from our furry friend(s) would have been too long. The home is comfortably furnished. The large dining table allows for a fun family game night as well as enough seating for family dinners. The kitchen is spacious with newer appliances, tons of dishes and just about any utensil you'd require to prepare a meal. The outdoor lanai/pool area also boasts a large dining table with multiple seating options. The pool was clean, well-maintained and an absolute godsend when temps rose into the 90's. With its prime location in a quiet neighborhood (within walking distance to two of Sanibel's best beaches) and close proximity to The Ding Darling Refuge, Shimmering Shells is a real gem. We were never at a loss for something to do and spent our days biking, kayaking, fishing, shelling and paddle boarding. We also took advantage of Sanibel's many restaurants. Some of our favorites were Gramma Dot's, The Timbers, Rosalita's and Mud Bugs, although they are not within biking distance of this home. Lastly, the property management company, SBL Vacations, was excellent. The entire process from reservation to check-out could not have been easier and their office is staffed with helpful and friendly folks!
