Sanibel Clamshell Condominium , 2 bedroom beachfront condo, Island vacation rental, near Captiva Florida, Gulf waterfront views, private holiday cottage.

Sanibel Island, Florida

Beachfront Townhouse

"Rollers on the beach, wind in the pines, the slow flapping of herons across sand dunes,
drown out the hectic rhythms...of timetables and schedules.
The mind...begins to drift, to play, to turn over in gentle careless rolls like those lazy waves on the beach.
One never knows what chance treasures these easy rollers may toss up,
on the smooth white sand of the conscious mind." —Anne Morrow Lindbergh

If Anne Morrow Lindbergh's description of her time on Sanibel Island sounds enticing, Clamshell offers you probably the only vacation rental where you may enjoy a similar experience.

PELICAN Clamshell sits directly on the beach, secluded and private amid natural vegetation and mature palm trees, with glorious sea views. Although only five minutes from shopping centers, restaurants and golf courses, you'll never know they're there unless you want them. Along with its 300 feet of beachfront, this quiet, exclusive townhouse complex boasts a pool and an indoor air-conditioned racquetball court.

Newly-remodelled and decorated, the lanai, living and dining areas are luxuriously furnished in rattan and pickled pine and feature coral ceramic tile floors. There are two spacious bedrooms — the master with unequalled sea-views, king four-poster bed, jacuzzi, walk-in shower and huge wrap-around private deck; the guest room with twin beds and a full bath with walk-in shower.

Clamshell is air conditioned and equipped with cable TV (two color sets), a VCR, microwave, washer and dryer, as well as all desirable kitchen appliances. Linens, towels, beach blankets and beach towels are provided. There are even bikes (and a few other pleasant surprises) for your use. Whatever your interests - walking, biking, golf, one of the world's best shelling beaches, fishing, sailing, swimming in the Gulf, sunbathing on the white sands, or just watching it all from Clamshell's raised decks - then Clamshell is the ideal choice.
