Best spot on the beach with a gorgeous view. The house has three bedrooms each with its own bathroom which is great. Sitting on the deck gives the perfect view for the sunset.

Beautiful ocean front vacation
What a week. We had a wonderful time with family in this beautiful ocean front beach house. Spent our days at the beach or on one of the many levels of the house’s decks and our evenings inside playing games or chatting. So close to Publix too. Owner was very responsive and friendly. Would HIGHLY recommend.

Sunny Beach Escape
We had a wonderful vacation at Cardinal Island. This house was stocked so well- we have stayed with other agencies before on FMB and this house beat them all hands down! Communication was excellent with the hosts. We had a great time shelling and relaxing- the decks were awesome to watch the sunset and the below patio area was a great place to escape from the sun. We plan to book again next year.

We had a Great Time
We really enjoyed our time at Cardinal House. The view of the Gulf is incredible from the decks!! The house has everything you would need. My kids really appreciated the Christmas tree, lights on the deck and the wreath. We spent a lot of time walking on the beach and floating in the Gulf looking for sand dollars and conch shells on the beach and on the sand bars.

Awesome House Right On the Beach
The whole setting was perfect. Each couple had a king sized bed and private bathroom. Super comfy beds, stocked kitchen. Closest beach access Ive had. The beach was literally steps away. We spent a lot of time at the beach, shelling and just relaxing. A sea turtle laid eggs just in front one night. We definitely would do it again!

Beautiful beach house - Sanibel looks so close!
Our family stayed in March for two wonderful weeks and created such great memories. Very clean, resourceful and so comfortable. The views are amazing from everywhere and the outdoor lanai and decking was just perfect. Sunsets were breathtaking.
Owners take such pride and very helpful with anything needed during our stay. Thank you!
