Miles Away


Miles Away: A Cherished Key West-Style Family Home in the Heart of Sanibel
You’ll feel like you’re miles away from the outside world when you settle into this fabulous Old Florida family home, just off Island Inn Road. This classic Key West-style house sits right in the heart of Sanibel, close to Bailey’s Grocery, Doc Ford’s Rum Bar & Grille, and the Bailey Tract of the J.N. “Ding” Darling Wildlife Refuge — and it’s a 10-minute walk to the gorgeous Gulf of Mexico beach.
Lovingly Updated: Miles Away is a cherished family home, and the next generation has updated it with mahogany floors throughout, a farmhouse kitchen, an eclectic mix of antique, new, and vintage furnishings, and central air conditioning and laundry — all within a classic 1,221-square-foot cottage with a spacious screened porch for morning coffee or evening cocktails.
Personality Throughout: Seashells and special touches are everywhere — baskets for beach towels and flip-flops, bowls of collectible shells, and a living room with built-in bookcases stocked for birders, shellers, photographers, and mystery lovers alike, plus a SONOS music system.
The living room seats 6–8 with garden views and a flat-panel TV; the open dining area also seats 6. The screened porch — with its Balinese daybed, oyster chandelier, and a mounted Silver King Tarpon — comfortably seats 6–8 for dinner.
Bedrooms: King and Queen bedrooms, sleeping up to 4 guests.
Miles Away is professionally managed by Cottages to Castles of Sanibel & Captiva since 1997.
Rental Terms: Miles Away may be rented for any 28 days within the same calendar month.
Small dogs are welcome with prior approval from the Owner and Cottages to Castles; a non-refundable pet fee applies based on length of stay and number of dogs, with possible weight and breed restrictions.
