License Year: 2023

License Number: RDWL-007794
License Type: Rental Dwellings (DRL)

When looking to rent Sanibel homes, please make sure the property you book has a City of Sanibel Rental Dwelling License ("RDL") that allows bookings for less than 28 days. Code enforcement is very strict about this. The City of Sanibel requires the RDL for each property to be included in the rental platforms' listing site. Our property is one of the few homes in Sanibel with an RDL that allows rentals for less than 28 days. We were grandfathered in since our rental license was acquired prior to the time the city imposed the 28-day minimum requirement.
3 bedrooms / 2 baths spacious single-family house with private heated swimming pool and sun deck surrounded by tropical gardens. An oasis of beauty and serenity just a 10-minute bike ride from Sanibel's best beaches, shops and restaurants.
The house offers magnificent views overlooking the lakes and greens of The Dunes, an 18-hole championship golf course and tennis club, considered to be the best in southwest Florida.
15' x 30' heated swimming pool and sun deck surrounded by tropical gardens.
Aquacal pool heater maintains water temperature at 88 degrees year round.
Plenty of comfortable patio furniture and top-brand lounges.
Numerous and spacious sitting areas - indoors and outdoors.
The soothing sound of waters falling from the large patio fountain fills the pool and patio areas.
The house enjoys a great location within a 5-minute drive to Sanibel's best beaches, shops and restaurants.
The "Sun Castle" is one of only a handful of homes in Sanibel that can be rented for less than 28 days. Our rental license predates the 28-day minimum rental restrictions for most homes adopted in the 1980's. As such, we were grandfathered in and allowed to offer short-term rentals. Given this special privilege, we take extra care to make sure our rental activity does not interfere with our neighbors' right to the peaceful enjoyment of their property. We strictly limit the number of occupants to a maximum of eight persons and limit the number of cars than can park in the property to two. Ours is not a party house. Only registered guests can use the pool area. We are also ask guests to keep the volume of music and other sounds low so as not to be heard by neighbors. The result has been a wonderful relationship with our guests and neighbors. Not a single complaint in all these years! And an almost perfect 5.0 rating in guests' reviews.
We do not accept pets except in cases of legal compliance.
