What could be better than watching a spectacular Gulf of Mexico sunset with your best (four legged) friend at your side? Not much. That’s right. Beachview Cottages of Sanibel is pet friendly.

Sanibel Island beaches are pet-friendly, and we know how important it is for many of our guests to be able to include their four-footed family members in their island vacation. That’s why we chose to make our resort pet-friendly for guests who want to experience a true family vacation!
