SANIBEL RENTAL DWELLING LICENSE
License Year: 2025
License Expiration: December 31, 2025
License Number: RDWL-007794
License Type: Rental Dwellings (DRL)
License Classification: Rental Dwelling Unlimited (In Resort for District)

When looking to rent Sanibel homes, please make sure the property you book has a City of Sanibel Rental Dwelling License ("RDL") that allows bookings for less than 28 days. Code enforcement is very strict about this. The City of Sanibel requires the RDL for each property to be included in the rental platforms' listing site. Our property is one of the few homes in Sanibel with an RDL that allows rentals for less than 28 days. We were grandfathered in since our rental license was acquired prior to the time the city imposed the 28-day minimum requirement.

3 bedrooms / 2 baths spacious single-family house with private heated swimming pool and sun deck surrounded by tropical gardens. An oasis of beauty and serenity just a 10-minute bike ride from Sanibel's best beaches, shops and restaurants.

15' x 30' heated swimming pool and sun deck surrounded by tropical gardens.

Aquacal pool heater maintains water temperature at 88 degrees year round.

The soothing sound of waters falling from the large patio fountain fills the pool and patio areas.

The house enjoys a great location within a 5-minute drive to Sanibel's best beaches, shops and restaurants.

The "Sun Castle" is one of only a handful of homes in Sanibel that can be rented for less than 28 days. Our rental license predates the 28-day minimum rental restrictions for most homes adopted in the 1980's. As such, we were grandfathered in and allowed to offer short-term rentals. Given this special privilege, we take extra care to make sure our rental activity does not interfere with our neighbors' right to the peaceful enjoyment of their property. We strictly limit the number of occupants to a maximum of eight persons and limit the number of cars than can park in the property to two. Ours is not a party house. Only registered guests can use the pool area. We are also ask guests to keep the volume of music and other sounds low so as not to be heard by neighbors. The result has been a wonderful relationship with our guests and neighbors. Not a single complaint in all these years! And an almost perfect 5.0 rating in guests' reviews.
We do not accept pets except in cases of legal compliance.

Property location was good, and we had enough room for 8. Owner was attentive and communicated well in advance. But the house needs some maintenance- loose grab bars in shower, HVAC had to be charged and needs upgraded, had to run a portable AC unit in one bedroom, screened in porch’s and back stairs need updated. And regardless, an improvement on supplies would be nice, too - poor choice of worn out pillows, had to purchase trash bags, owner had to ship wash clothes- none were on property at check in.

My wife and teenage daughters had a great time! Ralph is an awesome host. He was attentive to every need and everything was set up nicely so we didn’t have many. The property is very clean, close to the beach which is nice, but the pool is the best part. We spent most of the time swimming and relaxing by the pool. Several good restaurant options for dinner and marketplace nearby for anything else that might be needed. Overall we had a wonderful time staying here. Highly recommend to anyone interested in a quaint and quiet stay on Sanibel Island.

The home was exactly what we had hoped it would be. It was clean and the kitchen had everything we needed. The home accommodated our family of seven very comfortably. We spent a lot of time outside on the upper deck which was screened in. The kids enjoyed the heated pool, and we spotted the resident turtle. Ralph was quick to answer any questions we had. We really appreciated his suggestions on where to go, rent bikes, and grocery shopping.

This was our first time back since the devastating hurricane. Although the island is still recovering, there were great restaurants and services readily available. Thats the island. About Ralph and Ana. They have done a beautiful job in restoring any/all damages to the property. My favorite was the view of the golf course with the extensive landscaping that was done. Pool area was beautiful and we were out there everyday. Inside was as I remember with a couple of added items since the last time. Very clean and comfortable with all of the amenities that you would need. New incredibly comfortable couches, huge tv, etc. Now the most important. Our hosts. Ralph and Ana have become very special to us. They are the kindest and most available hosts we have ever encountered in the many places we have stayed. I am definitely understating this. But if you need ANYTHING, they are readily available and happy to help. This is truly a second home for us with our second family. Will definitely return in the future.

Our third trip to Sanibel. First time staying at this house. We loved it! Perfect for our family- my wife and I 2 college-age daughters. They loved having their own rooms. The back deck, patio, pool were wonderful - great place to hang out. The kitchen was so well stocked - much better than any place we’ve stayed. Excellent communication with the owner. Would definitely stay there again!

Enjoyed some much needed R&R at Sanibel Sun Castle! Home was well stocked and very comfortable. Loved sitting on the screened in porch overlooking the beautiful pool and golf course. Pool was immaculate and had everything needed for lazy days by the water. Great location and easy access to Jerry’s grocery store and area restaurants. I rented a bike and just loved exploring Sanibel! Excellent communication with the host. Need to return soon!!

Ralph was the most responsive and helpful host I have ever dealt with in all the years I have been using VRBO and other on line rental sites. Pool was great and view was amazing. Close to many things in Sanibel which of course is a great island and recovering from the storms but still has its charm.

As the island continues to recover and rebuild from Hurricane Ian, this property suited our vacation accommodation needs. Ralph's communication prior to, during, and after our stay was top-notch. The pool provided an excellent alternative to the beach on hot days, and it was nice to relax and dine on the screened-in porch.

Ralph and Ana are amazing hosts providing amenities for a perfect beach house experience. We were able to enjoy the home/pool and did several local excursions. Cabbage Key was fun. Bowman's Beach has to be one of the nicest, cleanest, and uncrowded beaches in the US- what a treat. We enjoyed the peaceful neighborhood walks in the evenings and at dawn. I highly recommend this place!

Our family of 7 thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Sanibel Sand Castle. The house was spacious, never feeling crowded, and had everything we could have needed. Our host Ralph was only a phone call away and was super helpful with any questions we had. The backyard with the pool was our absolute favorite! Can't wait to return.

We loved our stay at Sanibel Suncastle! The house is as advertised but even better. The location is perfect. We really enjoyed the pool and the peaceful back porch. The family room was perfect for all of us to watch NCAA basketball games on the large tv. I would definitely stay at Ralph’s home again. It was a perfect long weekend getaway for our group of 3 couples.

We are a family of three generations and there is a spot for each of us to enjoy and be comfortable: the pool or pool side, upper and lower patios, and getting together for movies with the extra large tv screen. The house had everything we needed. Biking is the best way to get around Sanibel and this location is close to restaurants and shops (but far enough to be quiet). We loved biking to breakfast or dinner, and recommend visiting Sanibel's historical village. Thank you Ralph - we'll be back!

I’ve vacationed around the US and islands, and this was the BEST overall. The owner was amazing, responsive, and incredibly helpful. They had everything to start you up, supplies, etcetera (propane for grills, kitchen spices, chairs for beach) This was beyond helpful, given that we flew there. The heated pool, was great!!! My three grandchildren, as well as us, stayed in it for hours. The owner left ideas, which we took up (sunset amass dinner at the Mucky Duck), shelling at Bowmount, and I explored running. I’d give this 5+. I told the owner I’ll be back. Amazing!!!!

Such a wonderful week in the paradise that is Sanibel! Ralph was a wonderful host and wanted to make sure we had fell in love with his house and with Sanibel - which we did! So many thoughtful touches - beach chairs, umbrella, and constant, warm communication really made this a place we hope to return to year after year. We loved sitting on the screened in back deck admiring the beautiful view, and all our favorite places were a stone's throw away. Highly recommend this inviting home and delightful host! Thanks again Ralph, for a fantastic experience!
