Rest Ashore: A Monthly Rental Near Beach Cottage on Sanibel Island

Enjoy true island-style living at Rest Ashore, one of Sanibel Island's original near beach cottages, now offered as a monthly vacation rental near Gulfside City Park. With three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a heated pool, a screened porch, and an open-air lanai, this Sanibel cottage is ideal for couples, small families, and outdoor enthusiasts planning an extended stay on Sanibel Island, Florida.

Central heat and air conditioning keep you comfortable year-round, while the dishwasher, washer/dryer, and easy-care solid surface flooring make day-to-day living simple during a longer stay. The sugar-sand Gulf of Mexico beach is a short walk away via Gulfside City Park, and you can easily bike, walk, or drive to nearby resort restaurants, a grocery market, and the Sanibel Island Golf Course.

Take a dip in the outdoor heated pool, grill dinner on the open-air sundeck, and watch the sky turn colors over the Gulf with family and friends.

Living & Dining

The living room features an oversized sectional sofa and a Smart TV with streaming available. The dining room comfortably seats six, and both the dining area and the fully-equipped kitchen open directly onto the screened lanai overlooking the pool — ideal for indoor-outdoor Florida living.

How do I keep mosquitoes and no-see-ums away during my beach vacation? The best defense is an insect repellent with Picaridin, paired with light, long-sleeve coverage when you're not in the water. Loose, breathable long sleeves and pants block bites well, but that's not always practical at the beach, pool, or swimming in the Gulf — so a good Picaridin-based repellent is your go-to.

Guest favorites include Skin So Soft Bug Guard Plus Picaridin Aerosol Spray and Bug Guard Wipes/Lotion (available on Avon.com), and Sawyer Picaridin Lotion (available on Amazon). Picaridin is effective against both mosquitoes and no-see-ums, doesn't feel greasy like DEET, and won't damage swimsuits or patio furniture. Apply before heading outside in the early morning or evening, when both pests are most active.
