Gulf front 3 bedroom townhome pets, 6 bikes, pool, cabana remodeled 2023

COMPLETELY REMODLED AND NOW AVAILABLE as of April 1, 2023. THE SEA SHELLING IS AMAZING. Jerry's, Doc Ford's, Mucky Duck, Traders and 15 other restaurants are now open. Sanibel Island has been consistently ranked in the top 10 beaches in North America. Arthur Frommer's a well-known vacation destination expert recently named Sanibel Island one of his top vacation destination in the world. Sanibel Island has sand so fine that it feels like flour between your toes and boasts some of the best shelling in the world. It is very tropical, non-commercial, clean, friendly and has a huge appreciation of wildlife and the arts. A frequent vacation destination for Europeans. My townhouse has a furnished cabana with a refrigerator. You can enjoy the island using over 25 miles of bike paths and I furnish 6 adult bikes with helmets for your pleasure in the garage. The townhouse/beach house has the "blast" package that has a high-speed internet speed of 300 Mbps, Wifi and HDTV. It has Showtime and Turner Classics movie channel. and additional sports channels. There are plenty of Tommy Bahama beach chairs, beach umbrellas, beach towels, a cooler and a cart to bring everything to the beach, plus .8 adult bikes with helmets, boogies boards, sand toys, and fishing poles all in the two car garage.. It has good fishing, boating and many delicious restaurants on the Island. Great relaxing destination from the big city life.

Golden Beach is a great secluded Gulf front townhome (beach house). Located at the end of Southwinds Drive, this 4-unit complex is a getaway from the hustle and bustle, but still within driving distance to excellent restaurants, recreational activities and shopping.

In this three story townhome, guests enjoy a magnificent, panoramic, unobstructed view of the Gulf of Mexico. This townhouse has three bedrooms and two bathrooms on the third floor. The bathrooms were recently remodeled with granite countertops and twin sinks. Two of the bedrooms on the third floor face the Gulf of Mexico, so you can enjoy watching the sun rise and set and listen to the surf.. All of the furniture in the lanai, living room, dining room and bar stools are brand new. New master king size bed mattress/box springs with "Elite mattress (April. 2023), brand new second bedroom king size mattress/box springs and two new twin beds with "Elite" mattresses/box springs (April, 2023). There is a brand new sleeper sofa/hide-a-bed with extra thick 8" mattress, love seat (April, 2023) in the living room. Also a new heating/AC system, 65 inch flat screen TV in the living room and 45 inch flat screen TVs in the bedrooms that face the Gulf of Mexico. New washer/dryer, hot water heater .and refrigerator in the cabana. The entire townhome was painted inside and outside and deep cleaned (April, 2023). The windows/sliding doors were replaced with high impact hurricane glass also in April, 2023. All of the appliances in the kitchen and Kuerig and regular coffee makers are in the completely furnished kitchen..

The pool faces the Gulf of Mexico and there is the pool patio, plus an additional patio between the pool and the Gulf of Mexico. The down stairs cabana is furnished and includes a refrigerator. A full two car garage is a nice added feature.

We welcome your pet with a non-refundable pet fee of $300. There are no restrictions on weight or number of dogs. There is a fee for more than one dog. The property sleeps 8 people comfortably and I spent over $250,000 recently to update my gulf front townhome. I invite you to stay at my home away from home! Jim Heckert

An excellent beachfront Sanibel rental!
I am so glad that we found this place. The location for us was perfect, the beach was beautiful. The condo was beautifully decorated and very comfortable. The host went above and beyond to make sure that we were comfortable and had everything that we needed and that we enjoyed her stay. He contacted us and gave us excellent tips on where to eat and what to do I highly recommend this rental!!!

Wonderful Townhome! Stunning beach views!
We very much enjoyed staying at Jim's townhome! The views from the master bedroom/spare room and whole downstairs are amazing! I cooked breakfast while watching dolphins! We found ourselves sitting and watching the waves very often! The beach was so close, closer than any other place I have stayed on Sanibel.10/10 would stay here again! Jim is very quick to reply if you need to contact him for anything, from check in to check out the process was very smooth. Thank you Jim!

Beautiful getaway for the whole family
We had the best time and the property owner Jim even called and checked up on us during our stay. The views from the entire home were breathtaking and our two small dogs were very comfortable and happy there with us as well. The path to the beach was nice to walk and very private as it only belongs to the 4 townhomes in the area. All the comforts of home with the amenities and close enough to everything.

Amazing views
This property was amazing. The views were out of this world. Especially the one from the master bedrooms. Waking up to the sunrises everyday is like a dream. The owner Jim is one of the best property owners I've ever worked with. The house was beautiful and spacious. The kitchen was very nice to work in. Large living space made it nice to lounge around. It was great to have all the beach supplies as well. Chairs, bikes, umbrella, and a wagon to boot. Made taking all your stuff to the beach effortless. We are looking forward to staying again next year.

Family time
We had a great time. Golden Beach 4 was clean and equipped with everything you need for a great family vacation. The unit was clean and well organized. The view is incredible. The beach was quiet and relaxing. The service was first class. The calls to see if we needed anything or to offer recommendations for dinner was world class service. I have been going to Sanibel and Captiva for 40 years and this was the best accommodations and service!

Great vacation spo!
Located on one of the more private areas of Sanibel. Top rate service and communication. Very handy to the restaurants we like yet very private. Nice pool. Absolutely the best equipped condo I have ever stayed in. Anything you could want in the garage from bikes chairs and beach carts to floats, tools, and toys. The shelling is the best I have ever seen in Sanibel. We gathered an entire large beach cart full of amazing shells during the week, picked out favorites and dumped the rest on the beach. We had a "feeding frenzy" from the other tourists the next morning. This was a pile 3 feet across and 2 feet high! Stay if you get a chance.

Condo was very roomy and had spectacular views of the gulf, especially sunrise.
Very nice property. Great location off the beaten path. Pool was nice and condo came with plenty of pool amenities. Only comment is it could use updated decor and furniture. Downstairs extra room was a little awkward and not really useful since it could only be accessed from outside or through the garage. Overall a fun stay, and I would definitely rent again!

You Can’t Beat the Location!
We recently stayed for a week at Jim’s property and had the best time! You can’t beat the location! The townhouse is onlya short drive from Jerry’s grocery store, the lighthouse, park, and many restaurants. The townhouse is directly on the beach so we were treated with gorgeous views of the beach all week and it was a breeze to wheel out all our beach gear onto the sand. There are plenty of beach chairs, floats, and towels so there is no need to pack your own, but I would suggest bringing your own beach umbrella or tent because all of the umbrellas were broken. We had packed our own cabana and beach toys so this wasn’t an issue. Everything was clean and in operating order during our visit. A previous guest had stored strong smelling fish in the refrigerator and the dirt devil smells like wet dog, but you expect to come across these minor details since rentals get a lot of abuse from careless visitors. Overall we were pleasantly surprised with how nice the townhouse was and especially enjoyed the collection of puzzles. We managed to build four of the puzzles during our stay! The beds were super comfortable and my husband and father-in-law had some of the best sleep during their stay. I do wish there were shades or darker blinds in the bedroom. As much as I enjoy waking up at sunrise, I was hoping to sleep in a few mornings during the vacation. A note for families with small children. I did find it very difficult to baby proof the staircase. We have a newly walking one year old, an overactive three year old and a senior dog with a bad hip so it was really important to keep them from falling down the stairs. We were able to barricade the bottom of the staircase with a baby play yard gate, but couldn’t find any solutions for the top of the staircase. A pressure mounted gate could easily be pushed down by the kids so we ended up putting baby locks on the doorknobs so that the kids couldn’t leave the bedrooms while upstairs. Overall, we loved our stay and would definitely return next time we visit Sanibel Island.

Price of stay not commensurate with quality of unit
Owner is a very kind man as all the reviews state, BUT, some things are not listed as they should be. The garage is too low for most SUV's. Our jeep did not fit which I had told the owner my son would be bringing. Also, no standard golf carts fit in the garage. Had to park ours outside. Not happy. The furnishings are dirty. The sofas are covered in a layer of dirt. Not comfortable or commensurate with his very high price tag . The rugs are shabby. The twin beds are too small for teenagers so no one over the age of 11 can stay in that room. I measured them, not the same length as the king. We pulled out the sofa in the living room so they could sleep there, but not a sheet in the joint for the sofa bed. So my boys were stuck sleeping on a blanket tucked around the mattress in a hot living room. The next day I asked for larger sheets to be delivered to put the twins together. Never heard another word from anyone and no sheets were delivered. The kitchen is in rough shape and the refrigerator was not cooling. We put all of our food in, $300 worth, and the next day everything was warm. We called the emergency number Sunday, a friendly employee told me the following story. "It takes 24-48 hours for the fridge to cool everything you put in if you fill it up with drinks". For real. That's what I was told. I have had many fridges in my day and never once did I fill my fridge with groceries and it take 24-48 hours to cool them. So do we add one item per day to cool? So by the day we leave our items will all finally be cooled? Nonsense. He said someone would come look that day and if needed a repairman would come Monday. NEVER heard another word from him or any repairmen. We cranked the fridge up to MAX cool and had warmish/coolish drinks and threw all the food away. Total loss. We ate out every day. The thermostat is pre-programmed to 77 so be prepared to reprogram it or you will be sleeping in well above 77. The upstairs was in the 80's by mid day every day and stayed there until well into the late evening. There is way more, but its too much to fit. Bottom line: NOT worth the $'s he demands. I paid that price bc I assumed this would be a very high end unit. Not the case. The other units, all 3, rented for hundreds and hundreds less. I made friends with all 3 families. We got a mediocre place for way too much $$$$. Nice owner, mediocre unit, beautiful view, not at all worth what he charges per week.

with a party of 7 adults, we ALL absolutely loved the place, location (LITERALLY almost at the shore), and especially the owner & communications. He was reeling from damage from Helene, his care & response to get the place/amenities up & going was phenomenal! Unfortunately our stay was cut short by Hurricane Milton, however, we have already decided to return if possible in November. We HIGHLY recommend staying here. We'll be back for SURE!
