Family-friendly vacation rentals in Sanibel

We had a good stay at Caitie and Erik's place. The house was as described and they communicated very well with us. We felt comfortable and at home as soon as we arrived. The neighborhood was quiet and we had a good night's sleep. We enjoyed eating on the veranda overlooking the garden. We would stay again if in the area.

This was one of the best places we stayed and will definitely come back! The patio, furniture and pool area were amazing, comfortable and we did not want to leave. Sat down by the waterfront tiki day/night and it was so beautiful and relaxing, you did not even need to leave the house, if you didn't want to. And to entertain two 15 year old boys with fishing, bike riding, swimming, simply amazing! The kitchen had everything you needed when we cooked. We are seriously in love with this home and location and can't wait to go back!

Stayed for 5 nights with husband, 2 kids ages 11 and 12 along with Grandparents for a relaxing Spring Break getaway. The house was beautiful. Kitchen contained everything needed to make meals. Was great to have a washer and dryer. House is located close to beach and shopping. The highlight for us was the hours spent in beautiful backyard. The spa and pool were amazing! There is a covered area by pool where we ate many meals and played card games. Eric was very responsive whenever we had had a question.

We loved the house and how peaceful the neighborhood is. Great location near many restaurants and shopping, but still had a quiet stay. I would recommend having a rental car. The house was very clean and pictures are accurate. We enjoyed the lanai with comfortable seating, pool and hot tub. I would stay here again.

We had an incredible week in this lovely, inviting, relaxing slice of paradise!! Responsive and friendly hosts, lovely landscaping, private lanai with nice chaise lounge chairs and waterfall hot tub and pool! We were outside enjoying it every day. Comfortable sitting areas, beds, kitchen was stocked with all the dishes and pans we needed to make several meals. Location was great for walks. It exceeded expectations each day! Look forward to returning someday! Thanks again Connie and Dale!!

Melanie's place was very clean and conveniently located to each place we wanted to go! We enjoyed the views of the canal and even saw a few local critters (turtles birds and an iguana). The hot tub was nice to relax in each evening. Thank you!

Carla’s place was absolutely beautiful and she was a wonderful host! Extremely helpful and responsive with lots of great recommendations. The house was clean and just as described and we never wanted to leave the pool. Thanks Carla for an awesome stay - we will definitely be back!

Another wonderful stay at Diane’s villa.Everything anybody can want on a vacation ,lovely villa ,very peaceful location,driving distance to beaches and large choice of restaurants.We had our flight home to UK cancelled due to hurricane Helene but Diane checked in on us all the time and allowed us to rearrange our departure which was such a relief.Not an experience we wish to repeat but look forward to a return visit next spring.

My family met at FMB for Christmas and stayed at Andy’s house and it was just what we needed! The location is great, quick walk to the beach and restaurants and shops. The area is definitely still a mess from hurricane Ian, but places are starting to reopen and the beach is still lovely and clean. The house had everything we needed to cook meals and lots of stuff to take to the beach!

Beautiful spacious home in a great location. Easy walk to the beach, and close to shops and restaurants. Pool is heated to a comfortable temperature and lots of pool accessories. Katharine is a wonderful host, very responsive before and after check in. Would definitely return!

The house and location was beautiful. Exactly as described, the pictures are very accurate. We were pleasantly surprised by how clean the whole place was, inside as well as outside. My husband had a good time talking to Sven when checking in. We spent every night and meal out by the pool/ patio area, very relaxing and a beautiful view of the canal. I got a kick out of the neighbors turtle dock, there are tons of turtles in the canals.

We didn’t want to leave! Such a great house and location. It had everything we needed, including all kitchen ware. It was so nice being able to go up to Whole Foods & Trader Joe’s close by to cook at the house. The pool and screened in porch were so lovely. We’d definitely stay here again.

Ben's place was great. It had all the things we needed. There was a misunderstanding with a travel crib, but I reached out and he brought one within 30 minutes. The house was very cozy and comfortable.

Such a relaxing place to be. Beautiful home, pool was awesome, fishing in the canal, quiet/safe neighborhood, and so close to anything you need. Cape Coral may not be the most exciting town, but if you’re looking to chill out (and skip the traffic like most everywhere else in FL) and just enjoy the weather it’s exactly that. Irina was an awesome host and we’d absolutely come back.

Great location in Naples close to shopping and restaurants. House was beautiful and well appointed, great for families. plenty of space. Gorgeous lanai and pool. Will definitely stay again and recommend to other travelers.

At the start of our vacation, I had one question for Olav. He responded within 30 minutes. The home was neat, clean and so easy to work out of. Patio and pool were so relaxing. Nice patio view of the canal. Everything was close by. If we went back to this area, we would definitely want to stay in this same home.

The house was beautiful and decorated so nicely! The pool and hot tub were wonderful!! Mike was excellent communicating and always answered quickly! We would definitely stay here again! Thanks Mike!

The place was nice. The only frustrating part was not having a washer and dryer for a few days and was stressing on our vacation about it. The host did let me know a few days before our stay and said it would be fixed. We got there on the 20th and it finally got fixed on the 24th. Other than that bump in our vacation everything was good. I’m just thankful Patricia was on top of it. The pool was cold when we got there but she told us how to heat it up and it was so nice to swim in a warm pool at night. My kids and I caught a stingray, catfish and a couple other ones on the canal. Got some shrimp a few miles away. We also saw a dolphin swim by! It was really relaxing sitting by the pool watching the boats go by in the morning. We are about 30 mins to Fort Myers. It depends on the traffic. There is everything you need with in a few miles. If you want a good pasta place to go check out TWO MEATBALLS IN THE KITCHEN. We loved that place!

We love this place! Stayed here twice and will be back again. Has everything you need, is clean and has a great pool & patio! Virginia is responsive with any questions and very sweet. Recommend this place 100%!

This house was perfect for our family vacation, it had everything in it, that you could possibly need especially the kitchen and the pool area I have never seen such a well-stocked kitchen, and the grandkids loved all the pool toys and accessories We are definitely going to make this our yearly vacation designation !!!!

Enjoyed this just as much as the first time we stayed here. If we come back down this way we will definitely book Lis & Tim's place.

A beautiful location, very quiet neighborhood, yet within 1.5 miles of a large supermarket and drugstores. Pictures are very accurate of the home. We loved the outdoor pool area/lanai. There was an issue with the pool filter causing the pool to become too cold for swimming during the last few days, which was unfortunate for us, but that was not the hosts' fault, and they were very responsive, within minutes. The home as a very comfortable layout with several large sitting areas inside, as well as a very large lanai area. Kitchen is well equipped with everything we could need. We did not use the grill, but there was one available. We had an issue with the smoke detectors and, again, a simple text to our hosts brought immediate response and remedy. Alexina and her husband are lovely and very responsive. I would recommend this beautiful spot and we would return on our next trip to Cape Coral.

We found Keven's home very comfortable and enjoyable to spend our Christmas in. The boats with Christmas lights and Santa was an added treat. His kitchen had all we needed to prepare our meals. We enjoyed swimming in the pool when we weren't out exploring the area. We enjoyed our stay greatly.

Host very responsive. Not a lot to do around the location other than to drive to a few beaches
