Cardium Guest Cottage in Sanibel Island

Hurry!!!!  JANUARY 2010 IS STILL AVAILABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The best place to experience serenity and the laid-back Sanibelian lifestyle is on one of the island's east-end residential streets.  On Cardium, most afternoons you'll barely see a car go by.

Cardium Guest Cottage is an unpretentious cottage with a coastal blue, green and white palette.  Nap in the screened lanai, catch some rays in the hammock and join locals walking to the beach on this lovely, quiet, crushed-shell lined street.

Walk to the gulf beach at the end of the street (about two blocks) or ride bikes  to nearby shops, excellent restaurants, or Holiday Inn's outdoor bar on the Gulf. The kitchen is well appointed for those who enjoy cooking and at-home dining and you'll find the islands' shops offer an extensive selection of foods and wines.

Relax in the screened room or barbeque on the rear deck and enjoy the garden with many tropical, native plantings creating a private area for entertaining or just relaxing.

Landscaped backyard with private deck shaded with huge figs and palms, fully equipped kitchen, screened porch, central AC/heat, charcoal grill, wireless internet, fax/printer, laundry room, two cable TVs, DVD player, iPod dock, stereo with CD/radio, bicycles, hammock and beach towels and chairs.

Accommodations:  Sleeps six with two bedrooms- one queen, two twins and a sleeper sofa.  Twin Aero bed available.

What's new?  A four-fish interactive sculture in the front yard just waiting for a passerby to add sunglasses!  We've added bicycle storage to make room in the laundry room. The bromiliad and orchid collections are growing so please spray us with the hose if it's been dry.  The new commercial hose reel makes it a snap.  Adirondack chairs have been added out front for quietly watching the world go by, or betting on when the next car may go by!

Come to Sanibel to enjoy wildlife, world-class shelling, canoeing, kayaking, boating, windsurfing, golfing, fishing, tennis, bird watching, live theatre, a movie theare, fabulous dining, specialty shops, art galleries and more without ever leaving the island. Sanibel Island abounds with nature preserves and is noted for it's natural beaches.

Thanks to all of our guests and especially those that have returned year after year.

We absolutely love our beach cottage and know you will too! Cheers!!!
