Picture your dream getaway on Sanibel Island in Florida…
What do you see?
You’ve finally arrived. Set your watch to “Island Time”. This is your time. To slow down. Relax. Appreciate nature. Engage in creative thought. Practice mindfulness. Make new memories.
Driving beneath the canopy of native shade trees on Periwinkle Way, you pass a variety of boutique shops, chef-owned restaurants, and vibrant art galleries. You can FEEL you’re somewhere special. The island vibe is tangible. You can’t help but smile.
Lose yourself among the lush tropical foliage, lilting coconut palms, and vivid flower blossoms. Dine on island cuisine. Stone crab and Mojitos. Bike Sanibel’s 25 miles of paved multi-use trails. Book a daytrip cruise through Pine Island Sound to explore nearby Cabbage Key, Cayo Costa, or Useppa Island. Kayak along the Great Calusa Blueway.
Sanibel Island is famous for its sun-drenched and shell strewn beaches. The vibrant hues of Sanibel sunsets.
Hidden away on an idyllic expanse of shoreline, but central to all Sanibel Island has to offer, is where you’ll find The Blue Dolphin.
“We have been staying at this lovely place over thirty years. Walk right out your door and swim, shell, and sun. It is convenient to restaurants and shops but removed enough to keep you out of the busy fray of people staying at large resorts. The Blue Dolphin is a lovely reminder of old Florida, but with all the modern conveniences. We couldn’t imagine staying anywhere else on Sanibel Island.”
