Let's not say goodbye but see you later!

Hurricane Ian may have caused a great destruction to Sanibel but be assured the love of this Unique Paradise will keep our resilience and determination strong as together we repair and rebuild our homes. Yes, it has been very tough, and we are deeply saddened but optimistic we will have the Sunny Shell Basket Cottage back stronger, better and newer then before
We cannot thank you all enough for your kind words and support during this time it has truly touched us both.

Through the many years we have greatly appreciated all our fabulous guests ...it has been our pleasure and honor to host you.
We hope in the not-too-distant future we will once again have the pleasure to Host you to one of our units.

In the interim stay safe and enjoy each day. We shall update when ready to take bookings.

Surround yourself with sunshine, seclusion and the sound of the sea.
This lovely, cheerful 2 bedroom 2 bath cottage has old Florida Charm ...and is newly updated.
Situated on a private, sleepy lane it is only a 2 to 3 minute walk to the beach. The Cottage has all the amenities of home WiFi, 3 TV's, DVR, washer and dryer, granite kitchen and dishwasher. Wake to the sound of the waves breaking, perhaps a visit from an Egret, Heron or Ibis all while enjoying fresh brewed coffee on the privacy of your own sunny deck.
This Sunny Shell Basket cottage is one of the very few homes that can rent for less than a full week on Sanibel Island. Comfortable, charming and cozy…not your typical vacation rental. For those who are looking to get away, enjoy each other, your family, nature, and the serenity… stay at Sunny Shell Basket Cottage.
