Love Bunnies

Just what I needed! Lovely house, plenty of room, great kitchen. The pool was awesome. The walk to the beach was pleasant. We saw a gator in the dried up canal across the street from the house! I'm delighted to have spent a month in your beautiful home.

April 2024

We enjoyed our stay on Rabbit Rd. The house was very clean and fresh, plus homey and comfortable. Location was great for either walking to the beach or biking to Ding Darling and beyond. The pool was as warm as a bathtub and we used it everyday. Nice bikes are included. Kitchen is well stocked. Pretty much perfect for a month's stay. An added plus was a mother and baby alligator living in the water filled ditch across the street!

Incredible stay!

My mom, sister & I came to Sanibel to celebrate our mom’s 65th birthday. This was the absolute perfect house to stay in, and the location couldn’t have been better. We walked to the beach every day which was a short 10 minute walk. The house is beautifully decorated and so cozy, and the beds were SO comfortable which is a huge plus when renting somewhere. The house has everything you need for your stay, and we even cooked in one night and the kitchen was very well stocked. We all kept saying how we have to stay at this house again whenever we come back to Sanibel, we loved it so much. It was such an amazing trip and the house just made it feel like we had our own beach home while we were there. We already can’t wait to come back!!!

Excellent experience

The host and house were both great! The house was spotless, and had everything you would need to enjoy your vacation. (Cooking utensils, grill, bikes, chairs) The heated pool was clean and felt great. The host also was great with communication. I did a last minute booking the night before i stayed. She patiently helped me complete my booking. I would recommend this property to anyone staying on sanibel island. I hope i can return again!

Perfect stay

I loved my time at Dawn and Frank’s home on Rabbit Road. The beautiful landscaping front and back felt like my own oasis. The pool lent itself to fun gatherings, especially for the kids and me. I appreciate the partially shaded fenced-in backyard. It is lovely! There were plenty of kitchen gadgets, towels, seating and bedding. I loved the use of bikes since I’d rather bike everywhere versus drive. The hosts thought of every need possible. Even the outside shower came in handy. The beach was a five to ten minute walk for us. I enjoyed being in a residential area with the shops and restaurants a short jaunt away. It was the perfect experience in Sanibel.

Wonderful month in Sanibel

This is a terrific home for a month long stay. The layout is nice, plenty of space, fenced in back yard. The house is nicely furnished and well supplied for our vacation. We cycle, so it was close to the bike trails and less than a mile to Ding Darling. Perfect!

A simple oasis

This home, clearly cared for, well equipped and sparkling clean, is located in a great location on Sanibel. We rented electric bikes (the bikes provided are usable) and zoomed all over the place. The second and third bedrooms are not big and their bathroom is in the general hallway so we are glad our friends (who are not close friends!) did not come after all. The large kitchen is well equipped. Thank you Dawn!

Paradise pool and beach

Lovely home with gorgeous screened pool, tropical landscaping, elaborately stocked kitchen, every amenity you could imagine!(bikes with locks/helmets, beach cart with chairs, sand and water toys, great washer/dryer, 2nd refrigerator, printer with paper/ink, many beach towels) Enjoyable short walk to uncrowded beach, fun shelling, gorgeous sunsets! Dawn was super fast at responding to our every need. Easy access to shops and restaurants. An idyllic vacation escape!

Sanibel Getaway

House was well equipped with everything you would need. Great location and easy walk to the beach. Beautiful pool and private back yard. Beds and living room furniture need updating.

Response from VrboOwner on 7 September 2023
I was confused when this guest mentioned the living room needed updating because almost every piece of furniture, tables, lamps, pictures and even decorations were all updated less than a year ago. The new designer sofa just arrived. When I questioned this guest about the beds she said she did not like the real feather down mattress topper for the queen bed and thought it was to cover an old mattress. The mattress is less than 2 years old and I thought adding plush mattress toppers to the beds was an added luxury. I really try to keep my home updated and as comfortable as possible for my guests.

A very comfortable, up to date home with everything you need. We especially enjoyed the kitchen, lanai area and pool. The televisions and high speed internet worked very well and the owner, Dawn, was very pleasant and responsive to our needs.

Good stay in June

The place is nicely decorated, the owner is very responsive, the fenced dog yard is a big plus, the perfect-temperature pool is shaded much of the time by towering palms and the kitchen is super-modern. It is a bit of a schlep to walk to the beautiful mostly deserted beach for us older folk and I would have liked to have a card table or desk to work on, but for folks wanting a quiet, pretty house away from the more touristed area, we and our dogs highly recommend this.

Response from VrboOwner on 7 September 2023
I gave this guest my address before she booked my home and she came by the property to see exactly how far the beach was from my home. I also suggested google earth so she could see an arial view. From my house to the beach is a 3/10 of a mile walk. About 340 steps to the beach access. If you are staying anywhere on West Gulf Drive other than direst Gulf front it is approximately 260 steps through the beach access paths to get to the water. This guest emailed/called me a dozen times before her stay with questions and very specific lists of items she wanted to know if I had- Vitamix ($500 blender), Roku, printer, electric juicer, reading lights, surge protectors, etc. She never asked if I had a card table. I do provide a six person dining table, a large island with two bar stools and a coffee table that rises up for a computer desk or dining table.

Like a Homecoming

We stayed at SeaTulip during April and May 2017 and returned for April and May 2018. From the minute we entered the house, we felt like we had returned home. Our two Frenchies 'said' when we walked in ... "hey, we know this place!" and headed for the pool area. Frank and Dawn upgraded some of the electronics and appliances since our last stay, which was of course appreciated. But the overall feelings were of a high level of emotional and physical comfort. Any questions we had that were addressed to Dawn were addressed immediately. We went to the Tesoro restaurant for dinner for the first time, and will return for sure whenever we are on Sanibel - it was fabulous. The Sunday market is another weekly event we try not to miss. We intend to return in 2019. Bill & Charmaine Winnipeg, Canada

Awesome!

The house was great. Beautifully decorated and had everything we needed, appliances, bikes, beach chairs, towels. Couldn't think of anything else. The location was great. So close to Ding Darling, we biked there often. And the beach was perfect. Can't wait to go back next year.

My Nicest Stay Ever On Sanibel Island!

Beautiful, clean, relaxing home! Quiet, secluded pool area to swim and relax with our beverages and a good book. We cannot wait to book this home again. We loved being so close to the beach

SO close to beach + tranquil private pool!

The house is just a quick, scenic stroll to the private beach! We had the beach to ourselves as far as the eye could see, but the kids enjoyed walking down the beach to have lunch at West Wind Inn and meet other youngsters (while we still got our peace and quiet)! We spent every afternoon in the private, screened in pool! Perfect spot to cool off and take in the natural Sanibel vegetation. The whole house looks straight out of Better Home and Gardens - completely renovated, clean and homey! The beds were SO comfortable and we loved having a fully equipped kitchen to make meals when we weren't at our favorite restaurants. Will definitely be back!

Amazing vacation

We had an amazing month in Sanibel! This lovely home is located on the quiet rabbit road. The house is a short walk to the beach, and the beach wagon in the garage made it easy for us to haul our coolers and chairs. The house has a secluded pool, great for cooling off in the afternoons. The patio furniture was new, high end, and extremely comfortable. I had no problem laying outside for hours reading my books. Inside, the house was equipped with modern appliances and electronics. The kitchen was fully stocked and suited all our cooking needs. All the beds and furniture were exceptionally comfortable. We highly recommend staying here!

We'll be back

May 31, 2017 We have been coming to Sanibel for a number of years now, but decided to bring our dogs this year, and rented this property for the first time, for April and May. We found the house to be exactly as advertised, with a well equipped kitchen and comfortable furniture and beds thoughout. We spent many hours at the pool every day and found the privacy and tranquility at the back of the property to be ideal. We also gave the grill a good workout most days. Dawn was very responsive when we contacted her for assistance a couple of times. The proximity to the beach was a bonus, allowing easy access for frequent long beach walks, shelling and close encounters with interesting sea dwellers (dolphins, rays). Occasionally we went out for meals, our favorite dinner location is The Sand Bar just up West Gulf a short distance. We also enjoyed Timbers, Island Cow and Matzaluna. All in all, this property fully satisfies our needs, accordingly we reserved again for April and May next year. Bill & Charmaine Young Winnipeg MB, Canada

Close to lovely quiet beach

We spent the month of January in this home and loved the location. The heated pool is a big bonus and we enjoyed taking a dip almost everyday. The beds are so comfortable and bathrooms are nicely updated. We used beach chairs, carts, beach towels and bikes almost everyday. The only slight disappointment was the furniture out by the pool. There was only one lounge chair and the other chairs were not that comfortable for relaxing.
