Beautiful ocean front vacation

What a week. We had a wonderful time with family in this beautiful ocean front beach house. Spent our days at the beach or on one of the many levels of the house’s decks and our evenings inside playing games or chatting. So close to Publix too. Owner was very responsive and friendly. Would HIGHLY recommend.

Sunny Beach Escape

We had a wonderful vacation at Cardinal Island. This house was stocked so well- we have stayed with other agencies before on FMB and this house beat them all hands down! Communication was excellent with the hosts. We had a great time shelling and relaxing- the decks were awesome to watch the sunset and the below patio area was a great place to escape from the sun. We plan to book again next year.

This property was beyond expectations. It's exactly as described, right on the beach. The owners were more than cordial and responded within 10 minutes of any requests we had. It was all there for us. The toughest part of the vacation was learning to do nothing!

We had a Great Time

We really enjoyed our time at Cardinal House. The view of the Gulf is incredible from the decks!! The house has everything you would need. My kids really appreciated the Christmas tree, lights on the deck and the wreath. We spent a lot of time walking on the beach and floating in the Gulf looking for sand dollars and conch shells on the beach and on the sand bars.

Awesome House Right On the Beach

The whole setting was perfect. Each couple had a king sized bed and private bathroom. Super comfy beds, stocked kitchen. Closest beach access Ive had. The beach was literally steps away. We spent a lot of time at the beach, shelling and just relaxing. A sea turtle laid eggs just in front one night. We definitely would do it again!

Beautiful beach house - Sanibel looks so close!

Our family stayed in March for two wonderful weeks and created such great memories. Very clean, resourceful and so comfortable. The views are amazing from everywhere and the outdoor lanai and decking was just perfect. Sunsets were breathtaking. Owners take such pride and very helpful with anything needed during our stay. Thank you!

Perfect Beach Spot

This was our second stay at this house and once again, it was perfect. Steps to the beautiful beach and we were able to watch dolphins and sunsets from the deck. We loved the new additions to the deck area. Great spaces for breakfast, dinner and cocktails. Clean, easy check-in and very responsive hosts. Definitely recommend and we will be back!

Amazing House Steps from the Beach

I cannot say enough about this amazing property. The house was immaculate and very well stocked with everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The white sandy beach was steps away but we spent most of our day on the incredibly large and comfortable deck. The pictures on line do not do it justice. Paul and Christine checked in with us a few times to make sure we were comfortable and to see if there was anything we needed. We hope to get back here again soon!
