About The Owner

Our family has vacationed on Sanibel Island since 1979 and in 1996 we were very fortunate to find and purchase a place of our own! Sea Winds Cottage is located in the quaint and quiet Old Town section of Sanibel. Since we are unable to spend all of our time on the island, we are happy to share our cottage with other folks that love the island as much as we do. We think that you will find Sea WInds Cottage a delightful 'Home Away From Home'.

The Owner purchased this house in 1996
Why The Owner chose Sanibel Island

As newlyweds in 1979, we rented a lovely little duplex unit on the East End of Sanibel, also know as Old Town Sanibel. For the next 17 years, as our famiy grew, we returned to the same location year after year. When a cottage near our original vacation home was offered for sale, we did not hesitate to buy it. We named our new home away from home 'Sea Winds Cottage'. Sanibel has many unique areas but we have always loved the nearness of the historic Lighthouse and the quiet and peacefulness of the east end of Sanibel

What makes this house unique

Staying in a cottage like Sea Winds gives you the peace and quiet of a private home. Your own private swimming pool, quiet screened porch, and just 150 steps to the gulf waters. Eat out at one of the many great island restaurants or cook your own meals in the fully equipped kitchen. The fishing pier and historic Sanibel Lighthouse are only 1/2 mile from the cottage!

Perfection!

Just returned from an amazing stay at Sea Winds Cottage. We were hoping for a quiet and relaxing week with our daughters before we send our oldest off to college. Sea Winds delivered beyond my expectations. It is spotlessly clean and well equiped. The beds are the most comfortable I have ever experienced while traveling. We enjoyed the private pool and screened porch. The beach just beyond the cottage is beautiful with surprisingly few people. Micca was quick to respond to any questions prior to our arrival and instructions, information, and contact numbers were readily available at the cottage. We encountered no problems, but I am confident that if we had, they would have been resolved promptly. We have successfully rented from VRBO several times, but this was by far the best experience. I would love to return to Sanibel, and I will keep my fingers crossed that Sea Winds is available.

The Sea Winds Cottage is exactly as advertised. It is very well maintained and equipped with everything needed for a wonderful Sanibel vacation. As we did last year, we stayed in the cottage for 3 weeks and loved every minute. It is very close to the beach and a short walk for Ice Cream. What else could one need?

We hope to return again next year.

Relax, enjoy the beach and have a wonderful peaceful time. This cottage was very well stocked. We've been renting houses throughout FL for vacations for the last 20 years and this by far was the most comfortable, cleanest, and most relaxing! I would give this 10 stars is I could. Everything is close by in walking distance and Sanibel and this cottage is the gem of Florida!

Vacation home away from home

My family loved our week at Sea Winds Cottage. It truly felt like we were staying at a friends house -- everything that we needed was provided. What we kept saying the entire vacation was how "easy" it was to stay there. The property was clean, larger than expected, and really, really close to the beach. Some of our favorite activities were walking to Pinocchios for ice cream, fishing off the pier and in the surf, biking, and of course perfecting our Sanibel Stoop. We look forward to returning again.

Our Week of Total Relaxation!

What a treat it was for my 3 girlfriends and I to spend a fabulous week relaxing and reconnecting at Sea Winds! We were so pleased to arrive and find that every last detail seemed to be attended to. The cottage was very clean, every paper product and all soap products were supplied---even pool floaties were supplied. Both bathroom cabinets had a couple of tubs containing trial size shampoos, soaps and lotions. The kitchen was very well stocked with plenty of dishes, silverware and pots and pans. We especially enjoyed the selection of books and jigsaw puzzles. We spent quite a bit of time floating in the pool in the screened in lanai---just beautiful! It was a great spot to enjoy all the ospreys in the area too. When we weren't in the pool, we were enjoying sitting on the screen porch talking and reminiscing. The one problem we encountered was connecting to the WiFi. That was quickly solved with a brief call to the owner who got us connected. Sea Winds was a great home for our annual girls get-away. I know we would all agree that we would definitely recommend Sea Winds!

We enjoyed our vacation at Sea Winds cottage immensely. The caretakers are wonderful and thorough. The cottage was immaculate. There is plenty of space and accomodations. The location does not get any better. The yard is exceptional as is the pool. Close to the pier, close to the lighthouse, close to the beach, close to biking trails and everything else. Couldn't ask for a better vacation cottage. We will stay again and again. Thank you! The Gniadek Family

Where do I start.....accommodations were extremely clean, furnished with anything you might need for a fun and relaxing vacation at the beach and very quiet. Pool was well maintained and loved the screened areas. Outside shower for washing off the beach was wonderful. Out of the main stream of tourists, but close to everything. It was a great trip and recommend it highly.

Our family vacation at Sanibel Island was the best. Sea Winds Cottage was a wonderful home away from home and had everything you could possibly need. Loved the pool and being so close to the beach what else can I say it was a great time and I hope to do it again someday.

As always a great place to stay and wonderful owners to deal with. Everything is as claimed and the property is very well maintained and spotlessly clean upon arrival. Deposit was returned within days of check-out. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting a quit place close to the beach with an enclosed pool.

We've stayed on Sanibel several times over the years, always in a condo. We were looking for a bit more space and a location with easy beach access for my elderly mother. We found exactly what we needed at SeaWinds Cottage. The location is terrific, house is clean and well equipped, and beach is an easy walk. Having use of a beach umbrella and chairs was a treat. The screened porch is a great place to dine al fresco or lounge and read a book. Unfortunately the weather wasn't quite warm enough for us to take advantage of the pool, but it was nice to look at! Our visit was over the Christmas holidays and we really appreciated the welcoming wreath and small lighted tree that greeted us when we opened the door. A very Merry Christmas indeed. Hope to return again one day.
