We stayed at Loggerhead Cay during holiday break from work (dec-jan 07/08). I booked through vacationrentals.com, where you contact the owner and she books through sanibel holidays.
It was cheaper going through the owner ( better price) than if I had gone directly to a third party.
I had a first floor unit (cant remember the number offhand) and it was very pleasant. Comfortable, clean, well equipped.
Great lanai and outdoor area was lovely. There is a pool and you just walk up to the beach. We were one building away from beach.
The weather was up and down this past year, so we had a couple of really warm days, then some major rain and then sunny but very cool. But we bundled up and walked the beach and went to Captiva one day, and took a day to shop around when it was cool. Having a kitchen is nice because you don't have to eat out all the time. We did go to the Hungry Heron with a group of friends that arrived the day before we left (they stay at another condo area they own). Great meal as usual.
did go to the island cow once and a couple others.
Hungry Heron is always a great meal and great price. Definitely a family place, too, so it is affordable for a large group.
We did order pizza one night ( and i wish i could remember the name) and it was one of the best pizzas i have had. Great crust and sauce. And I have eaten at many across the country.
There was no red tide during my stay, but there was some churned up mess from the storm that left lots of interesting critters and such on the beach. But that is what natural is all about. If you want pristine, white with nothing in it, you should stay elsewhere (not sanibel). But i like the natural, quiet tranquility of the island. All the luxury of home but in a nice setting and lots to see and do or relax and do nothing.
I rebooked for this coming winter again for the same condo and got a good deal on the price ( less than what is posted) because I am a repeat customer and booked immediately--while i was still there).
Loggerhead Cay is near the lower south west part of the island.
Enjoy your stay!
