Wake up to your first day at beautiful Pointe Santo de Sanibel. Sip your morning coffee on the lanai while you take in the panoramic gulf views. Take the kids (or grand kids) shelling on the 600 foot beach, or to the pool, or to the clubhouse for supervised children’s activities. Spend the afternoon playing beach volleyball, tennis or shuffleboard. Ride your bike to “Ding” Darling Nature Center or the Dairy Queen.
Relax on the beach. Read a book. Take a nap. Get a tan. Pour a glass of wine and watch the sunset over the Gulf of Mexico. Enjoy the Gulf view from the kitchen as you prepare dinner in our fully-equipped kitchen or BBQ steaks on our top-of-the-line grills. Savor the warm, evening breeze.
Take a nightcap down to the hot tub for some star gazing or a midnight stroll on the beach. Watch out for sea turtles! Nestle into your cozy bed and listen to the waves as you drift off to sleep…for tomorrow is another day.

Sea turtle nesting season runs from May 1st to October 31st
Sanibel Island & Captiva Island’s beaches provide the perfect subtropical nesting area for sea turtles, but please be sure to follow the guidelines of Sanibel Island and Captiva Island and turn off all lights that could draw attention away from the Gulf of Mexico to the land. By removing the light from the land and obstacles from the beach, baby sea turtles can find their way back to the water, where they need to be.
