Ken and Kathi,
Well, it's almost time to pack our bags and head back to the snow in Kansas City, but we just wanted to let you know how much we have enjoyed our holiday in you condo. It's a great spot and a perfect location to get to everything. We helped the economy of Sanibel Island a bit by visiting many of the restaurants you recommended and a bunch of shops including finding a couple of great Christmas music boxes at Baileys.
For breakfast we tried the Lighthouse (2 times), Over Easy and Island Cow and really liked the first two. For lunch Cheeburger Cheeburger and Grandma Dots. Dinner included Mucky Ducks for the sunset Saturday night, Matzaluna, Great White for pizza and Doc Fords, which was our favorite. And Pinocchios (next to the Lighthouse Cafe) was a great spot for ice cream! And Jerry's Market had everything we need to stock the brand new refringerator and the colorful birds were a great bonus attraction.
We also took the Seminole Gulf Railway Murder Mystery train ride and had a surprisingly good dinner and good fun. We also enjoyed the Edison / Ford Winter Home, which stayed open late for the Christmas Lights last night.
The J N "Ding" Darling Wildlife Refuge was a great spot. We visited at low tide when lots of birds were busy feeding. We even got close to a alligator enjoying the warm sun. Although the one-way drive was only 4 miles long, we managed to spend much of the afternoon enjoying the area.
The Sanibel Historical Museum and Village was another great spot to learn more about local history.
With all the sight seeing and just watching the water we still managed to find time to take some great naps listening to the birds and waves.
Thanks for your kindness in allowing us to share your Florida home. The pictures on the web site and the referrals from others were all very accurate and the management company really seemed to be active in mainting the entire Sundail complex. We certainly recommend your unit to anyone looking for a well maintined spot to use as their Sanibel Island base.
Tomorrow we fly home and will enjoy Christmas with our family and wish you a joyful Christmas and a wonderful New Year
