Holidays Aglow on Sanibel!

We’re looking forward to another glorious holiday season on the island. We have lots of ideas to make your holidays special—our gift to you and yours!

Ocean’s Reach condos are booked for Christmas and New Year’s, but we still have openings during the holiday season. Visit OceansReach.com to make Sanibel your holiday and season getaway.

Already coming to Sanibel for the holidays?

  • Pre-order a wreath or lighted Christmas tree to greet you when you arrive – no mess, no worry! Bring your favorite ornament or make your own out of shells for something you’ll treasure always.
  • Decorate with fresh poinsettias and a Sanibel Lighthouse centerpiece from Forever Green Ace Hardware. Call (239) 472-5354.
  • Call ahead for your Christmas turkey and trimmings from Jerry’s Foods or make reservations for a lovely Christmas Eve or Christmas dinner at The Jacaranda.
  • Going gourmet? Use your brand-new kitchen and try a new recipe from Jacaranda’s new winter menu! Rather eat out? Meet Jacaranda's new chef!
  • Tour the islands and have somebody else lead: The Segway Experience is a great island activity for all ages. (Ocean’s Reach has Billy’s Bikes, too!)
  • Let Christmas packages arrive at your doorstep. Address them to Ocean’s Reach and include your condo #.
  • Shop on the island and give the gift of the beach: Gift baskets and gift cards from The Sandy Butler, great Florida reads from the Sanibel Island Bookshop, Sanibel shell ornaments or crispy cash from Bank of the Islands.

Q. What’s your best helpful hint for new Ocean’s Reach guests?
A. Don’t try to understanding the numbering system for the condos. It was created to mislead the enemy.

Q. What would you spend your first $10 of vacation mad money on?
A. The Florida lottery, so I could win and buy a condo at Ocean’s Reach.

Q. Name your three favorite Sanibel vacation activities.
A. Biking, swimming and walking on the beach.

Q. What’s best about the new Ocean’s Reach?
A. The freshness after the renovation. It’s a superb facelift!

Q. What would we be surprised to know about you?
A. How much younger I feel in this climate!

Birgitta and Claes have stayed in many condos during the last 15 years, but they say Ocean’s Reach “gives us the best value for our money. Add friendly and very helpful personnel (especially when they gave us a printout of our traditional Swedish crossword puzzle), and you’ll know why it’s a big hit with us!”

Spring is Right Around the Corner

Spring break means Ocean’s Reach, where days stay sunnier longer and the condos are cozy chic. Check out our new affordable rates and the new Big Arts lecture, a performance and arts series for your evening’s entertainment.
