A Sanibel tradition ended on August 21, 2010. This was the last night for dinner at McT’s. We will miss you!

Adolfo loves to keep Ocean’s Reach neat and clean. He is on site daily cleaning the exterior building, stairwells and carports as well as performing landscaping projects. He does a terrific job!! Thank you Adolfo for keeping our Sanibel vacation rentals in perfect order!

The weather is not all that is hot on Sanibel! The housing market is”Hot, Hot, Hot!!! Recently, Sanibel hit #8 on the list of the “10 Best Places for Second Homes” according to the Wall Street Journal. Ocean’s Reach is the perfect place to buy or rent. Check it all out! Currently, Ocean’s Reach has two, one bedroom condos for sale, and Debbie at Sotheby’s can help put you in your very own Sanibel condo! This is good news for the Sanibel condo market.

A windy day brings out many surfboarders to try their skills in the Blind Pass area of Captiva.

After all of the heat lately, I’m sure many are wishing for a few cooler days. Be assured they will return! The following pictures were taken last February 6th on a Saturday. Take note of the wetsuits.

“Ace is the Place” on Periwinkle Way provides many of our condo supplies and equipment as well as paint and maintenance items for keeping the condos fresh!
Service with a smile!

Sea Turtle nesting season on Sanibel includes the period of May to October, so we are just in the middle of this phenomenal event. There are strict rule and guidelines that all residents and visitors are required to follow so that the sea turtles have an improved chance for survival.

The say a picture is worth a thousand words and this one leaves me speechless!

Where is a popular place to fish on Sanibel? The Sanibel Fishing Pier which is located at the far east end, bay side of the island, and in the Lighthouse Park area. Remember though, a license is required any fishing and can easily be obtained at local grocery stores and bait shops.

The Lighthouse Cafe is a favorite spot for breakfast and lunch and then if you are like me, a stop at Pinocchio’s always hits the spot! Both are located on the east end of the island by the lighthouse and on the bike path. Remember, there are many Sanibel restaurants with delightful treats waiting for your arrival, and they are all excellent!

My husband, sister, brother-in-law, and I enjoyed a wonderful vacation at Ocean’s Reach from July 10th-17th. We watched the pelicans being released into the Gulf after being rescued from Louisiana and rehabilitated. This took place on Algiers Beach next door to Ocean’s Reach. What a thrill! We had morning coffee and afternoon drinks on the balcony, visited delightful restaurants, went shelling, strolled the beach, and went in the pool every day. It was a completely relaxing vacation. Thank you for making it all possible!
