Imagine a place with no stoplights or streetlights...

Just sunlight and starlight.  "2-B" on Sanibel is to relax on pristine beaches, and scoop up a treasure-trove of brightly colored shells; to marvel at blazing sunsets over the Gulf of Mexico; to go biking and strolling along more than 22 miles of shared-use paths, or kayaking in a National Wildlife Refuge; to view over 300 species of birds -- all on a "sanctuary island" that remains over 70% undeveloped land.

And B-2 Breakers West is the place "2-B" on Sanibel.

Relax in the "Olde Florida" ambiance of our comfortable, 2-bedroom, 2-bath condo on the Gulf side of quiet West Gulf Drive, just over 110 yards from the Gulf of Mexico.  Enjoy morning coffee on our screened-in lanai, overlooking lush landscaping.  Soak up the sun or toast the sunset on our quiet Gulf beach.  Experience the charm that is Breakers West:  a small (18-unit), family-friendly complex, close to shopping, dining and island adventures, yet a world away from noise and crowds. 

A Hurricane Ian Update:

B-2 is back, and better than ever! Renovated and upgraded, along with all of Breakers West, and happily awaiting your arrival.

On September 28, 2022, Hurricane Ian, a monstrous Category 4 storm, slammed into Sanibel with 155mph (239kmh, 135kt) winds and a 13ft (4m) storm surge that swept across Breakers West. Amazingly, our building remained standing. But the storm surge destroyed the ground floor units, scoured away our landscaping and part of our roof and swept away the neighboring inn, leaving Breakers West effectively Gulf-front, at least for the next few years.

B-2 and most of the 2nd floor units escaped damage, save for losing our lanai screens, railings and screen doors.

We took advantage of having on-site contractors to repaint B-2, remodel both bathrooms, add new, sea-blue carpeting and vinyl plank flooring, a new sleeper-sofa and a new king-size bed.

In addition to a new tile roof, Breakers West replanted its landscaping with storm-resistant native vegetation, rebuilt the parking lots, added new pool and roof-deck furniture, re-tiled the walkways, added new screen doors to the units and rebuilt and beautified our private beach-access path. Our beach was actually widened by Ian, and regroomed by the City of Sanibel, and was “gifted” by Ian with heaps of colorful, often rare and unusual shells.

Sanibel, too, is back. Restaurants and shops have reopened, the bike-hike, shared-use paths have been restored and expanded. Beloved places like the “Ding” Darling National Wildlife Refuge have reopened and are looking lush once again. Record numbers of shorebirds have arrived, sea turtles are back nesting on our beaches.

Come and see — and stay! B-2 is ready once again to be your home-away-from home.

A Note to TripAdvisor Users:

We are deeply sorry for anyone whose B-2 stays were abruptly canceled by TripAdvisor, as they apparently moved to close their booking-business. It was a shock to us, as well; it was entirely outside of our control. We are very much still in business; and we assure you that you can, with confidence, book directly with us, without those added booking fees and most likely, at a more reasonable rate.
