Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
This was a perfect place for my family to stay. We had a great time visiting Sanibel Island and this cottage was the perfect location. It was a nice walk to the beach which had great sunsets and shells. The house was clean and comfortable. Would definitely stay here again.
