Camping at Melissa & Ryan's place was absolutely great in every way! We were welcomed with the kindest greeting and they made us feel so comfortable being at their place. We travel with a small teardrop camper and have to set up shade and privacy tents along with awnings and I was a little worried they would be annoyed by our little tent city in their yard. Instead they encouraged us to set up however we wanted and assisted us with filling our water tank and showing us around the place. The site itself was perfect, large and spacious with a concrete patio, Adirondack chairs and a fire pit. Full electric hookup and access to their hose. The land was flat and easy to park our trailer on. We had complete privacy and felt comfortable hanging out there and coming and going as we pleased. Melissa helped us add extra nights and was quick to reply to any text. Overall it was a great stay and I would highly recommend anyone looking for a stay in this area to use Melissa! Also - an easy driving distance to so many beaches - we made it to Sarasota, Bradenton, Tampa, and Siesta Key. A perfect camping trip. THANKS MELISSA & RYAN! Xoxo

Absolutely wonderful stay with fabulous hosts!! We are 25 ft RV and there was plenty of room on level grass with 30 electric. Beautiful yard with sun and shade, nice patio with chairs and outdoor grill. We loved seeing the cattle off in the back and it was quiet and peaceful. Perfect spot and we will definitely stay again. Hard to believe how close to town - we even had pizza delivered!

Eye level view looking at palm paradise site.

Beautiful ! Private ! Tropical ! Oasis ! We brought our camper van to explore Sanibel and found the best possible campsite on the island ! The gorgeous landscaped site was waiting with electric and water, beautiful breakfast nook, and plenty of space . Our host was very welcoming and made us feel right at home. This is a very special place and should be treated as such. It just doesn’t get any better.! Already looking forward to our next stay there .
