The perfect choice for your vacation

Brush away the beach sand and you will find, buried beneath the surface of Sanibel and Captiva Islands, layers of environmental, historical and cultural depth. Some 5,600 make the their principal residence on Sanibel Island, 500 on Captiva. The islands' population swells to 22,000 in winter.

Island people live in condominium communities, close-knit neighborhoods and exclusive developments. They occupy historic cottage renovations, new "Old Florida-Style" stilt homes, and low-slung stucco houses. They buy homes centered around a boating lifestyle, a golf course tennis or children. They are single-family home-dwellers, second-home owners and young renters. They serve the tourist and other service-related industries, commute to mainland professions, volunteer to the benefit of their community, and quietly retire from executive and governmental careers.
