Me, my wife and our 2 girls (1.5 and 10) stayed at the Palms Villa for 10 days during June 2015. I always go strait to the reviews as I think this is most helpful in finding the right fit, so I hope those reading this will also write a review. Back to the home. Location, we stayed here while our extended family stayed on Sanibel. If you plan to go, the drive to Sanibel is about 40 minutes over 2 toll bridges. But that actually did not bother us because we liked being away from the tourist crowds in a nice quite neighborhood. No annoying tourists. In addition, the house is very close to Matlacha and Pine Island (about 8 minutes) and we loved those areas. We had breakfast several times at "The Perfect Cup" in Matlacha...OMG good! Try eating on Sanibel, it's crazy crowded & expensive! If you haven't driven out to the point on Pine Island it's worth it and not to far away from this location. Further, there is a Publix just a few miles away from this house where we could do our grocery shopping, very nice! The house, it was very clean, didn't reak of chemicals either. We met the cleaning lady on our way out and she was very nice. We didn't have to worry about the carpet getting sandy or dirty because of the tile floors. There is a TV in each room. There are lots of chairs in the pool area and as an added bonus pool toys in a locker to use. Plenty of linens, towels, shopping bags...etc. The beds were clean. The kitchen has plenty of items to cook with, eat/drink from, cutting boards, knives, tons of utensils (rare), it's fully stocked. We also found a couple of coolers in a closet which was great to use in the car. There is a computer to use with internet connection, a major plus. One of the best surprises was we found beach chairs and an umbrella in the garage! We found a shelling net on the beach and left it too. Last but not least working with the owner was smooth and easy. I had a question about the TV, the issue was resolved in minutes and he even called the house to make sure I was happy and everything was satisfactory. All in all I highly recommend this place, it's just great!
