About this property

Welcome to the best kept secret on Sanibel, a private, boutique, enclave surrounded by lush, tropical grounds where quiet serenity abound. Enjoy mesmerizing water views at the bend of shell harbor channel and kick back and take in the abundance of wildlife including ospreys, pelicans and egrets catching their breakfast, and dolphins lazily cruising by while enjoying your favorite beverage right from your loggia/balcony. Take a lazy bike ride around town by way of the amazing bike paths Sanibel has to offer. Revel at any of the sun drenched beaches with a refreshing dip in the Gulf. Work up a sweat at our tennis and pickleball courts then enjoy a refreshing dip in the pool. Oh, and if you decide to explore off island, our location affords on and off Island access virtually in the blink of an eye. We were enchanted from the moment we arrived on Sanibel and Tennis Place, and would love to share these experiences with you. Tennis Place, an enchanting locale to create a memorable vacation that will last a lifetime.

Great getaway

Beautiful location with ready access to beaches, bike trails and amazing fishing. The complex is well maintained and the people are very friendly and helpful. If you love sea life just sit near the canal and the dolphins will swim right by you! The owners were readily available if you any questions and the condo has all the supplies that you will need, We had a fantastic vacation!

Ok for spry boaters and fishing

No elevator and no laundry facilities in unit made for lots of stairs with heavy loads for us old folks. Second bedroom useless for guests with Murphy bed and bikes stored in the room.

Great time on a great property

We loved the unit and the property. Bob made sure to let us know what we needed to know before we came down and offered to get us anything we thought the unit was lacking. It wasn’t (my wife even noted they had chip bag clips!). The location was great on the canal for fishing and the pool was very convenient. We used the supplied bikes every day and the tennis rackets and beach chairs as well. I will definitely stay here again. Thanks Bob!
