Vacation rentals with lake access in Sanibel Island

Host was super nice, and he accommodated an early check in for our group! He responded fast and with clear messages. The house itself was beautiful and looked exactly like the pictures! Will definitely stay here again!

Everything was very clean when we arrived. The outside lights were on, in case we arrived after dark. The AC was on and the home was cool, which is great for summer in FL. The beds were very comfortable. We enjoyed the pool and spent quite a bit of our free time in the water.

Paul was an exceptional host—friendly, attentive, and quick to respond. My family and I had a wonderful stay. The home was spotless, spacious, and fully equipped with everything we needed to feel comfortable and relaxed. I spent my mornings and evenings fishing and caught red snapper, catfish, and spadefish. The neighbors were incredibly kind—one even stopped by to help me untangle my reel. My husband absolutely fell in love with Cape Coral and Paul’s beautiful home. We’re already looking forward to our next visit!

Our whole family had an unforgettable time during our stay! From the moment we arrived, the peaceful setting set the tone for a rejuvenating retreat. The lake was a highlight—between fishing and kayaking, there was never a dull moment. The pool was equally fantastic, offering ample patio space to soak up the sun and unwind on those hot days. The kids were thrilled with the game room, which kept them happily entertained. Cooking in the spacious, well-equipped kitchen made family dinners a joy—and a delicious one at that. What truly set this experience apart was the closeness to nature. Turtles and ducks made friendly appearances by the lake, and the hoots of nearby owls gave our evenings a magical touch. It felt like we were part of something special, surrounded by so much life. We’re already looking forward to coming back for more cherished family moments.

We were very happy with our stay, Andrea was a great host! Everything was clean and well-organized, the location on the water was beautiful and let us get some great pictures of the sunset, and we all had a blast with the pool and hot tub. Thank you for everything!

What a great place to stay!!! We had an amazing weekend!!! Richard was very kind and communicative from start to finish. The house has a very good vibe. It is in very neat condition and spotless (tidy, clean, and very well organized). The patio/lanai is the best place for a morning coffee. We also loved the kitchen window overlooking the pool, practical for keeping an eye on kids and the sunlight is amazing. We also felt very safe and comfortable. The setting was incredibly tranquil, perfect for a relaxing getaway. Excellent amenities, comfy beds, quite and peaceful. Our experience was nothing short of amazing. We will definitely come back very soon since we love the city of Cape Coral, and this is the best place to stay. Thank you for such a memorable stay—we will definitely be back!!!

We had a wonderful stay at Jody’s place for a very special weekend—my wedding! The home was beautiful, cozy, and perfect for my family. Jody was incredibly accommodating and made sure everything went smoothly. The location was also ideal—close to convenient stores, Mercato, and other great spots. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a comfortable and well-located place to stay!

Perfectly positioned between the bridges, Cornwallis Escape is just as lovely as the images show. Lovely neighborhood, our group went for daily walks and felt safe and secure. Easy access grocery stores and restaurants. 10/10 recommend staying here!

Beautiful clean apartment. The view was amazing. Quiet neighbors. Bed was very firm innerspring mattress. Pillows were awesome and the extra blanket in the closet was nice. Towels were fluffy and huge. Price was on par with neighboring hotels.

Arthur’s space was exactly as described perfect location close to all amenities. I would certainly stay with him again.

My very first Airbnb and I'm sure it will set the standard for any future ones that I use. Super convenient location, plenty of parking, right on the canal so you see the dolphins and the manatees at any given point. I met Lori in person and she helped me with everything that I needed and was super kind. I spent a week kayaking the island and there are so many places to go that you don't have to leave the island once you get there.

Place is very quaint...right on the water. Couldn't get any closer to the water! We had the place all to our selves which was a bonus. The only thing is right now there is road construction directly in front of the cottage so you can't walk to anywhere. The town has started to rebuild after the hurricane but you can see the devastation. Once the town rebuilds, this place will be fabulous. In the meantime, we are grateful Lisa has rebuilt her place and that we could stay there in very short notice. Thank you Lisa.

The space and especially the outside area overlooking the lake is absolutely beautiful. The check in/out process was a breeze and the host is very communicative and helpful. No complaints! I would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful and private. Directly across from the beach which was amazing. Comfortable, quiet, and perfect amenities to enjoy the water and sand. Thank you!

Thank you for being such a wonderful host, I will definitely book again being I be out here a lot! I felt so peaceful and at home! Thank you again!

Daysi was a super host. Place was amazing clean and peaceful to take time out of everyday work day. Me and my husband needed time off from the world and daysi place did that. I will be back for another getaway.

Excellent space for a quiet get away!

This home and stay was absolute perfection. From the super clean and GORGEOUS entry to the phenomenal view and heated pool, this place felt like a home away from home with a little slice of paradise. Everything about this place was amazing and we would stay here a million times over. Couldn’t think of a better place to lend a relaxing and yet still perfectly fun vacation!

Friendly owners, private location and a clean place to stay. All you could really ask for. If ever in Fort Meyers again, I would certainly look to come here first.

This is our third time staying at one of David’s listings in Bonita. Once again, everything was perfect. Great host, great location, great space. No complaints whatsoever. Already looking forward to booking again! :) Thank you David!

Shawnee, & her husband Dave were wonderful. They kept in touch w/ us, & made sure anything we needed was brought to us. Everything in their home was top shelf. Thank you Shawnee & Dave for a beautiful 2 week stay at your home. Bill & Sharon Hauswirth

An absolute beautiful home! Kayaking on the lake was definitely a core memory for the kids. Having a ping pong table in the garage was a real life saver for us since it rained nearly everyday we were there. Sometimes the rain would stop at night which was wonderful because then we got to enjoy the hot tube. The only things that could use improvement are the primary bedroom curtains and better pillows other than that this home is absolutely perfect!

Olivia is an AMAZING host! She was very easy to get ahold of and communicate with and was extremely accommodating. The location of this stay is beautiful - right on a pond with exciting wildlife - birds, turtles, etc. and walking distance to the beach. Clean, nicely updated. No complaints whatsoever!

We had two families and we both enjoyed our stay! The house was very accommodating for both our families with kids. We all enjoyed the salt water pool and patio. The information binder provided gave clear instructions for our stay and provided many recommendations for restaurants and activities to do. Stu and Cathy were very helpful and even personally check on us during our stay!
