Thinking of Having a Reunion? Think Sanibel!

If this past New Year's Eve's rendition of Auld Lang Syne brought a tug to your heart and possibly a tear to your eye, you are not alone.  The thought of old acquaintances , past times and family no longer with us does evoke an incredibly strong sense of nostalgia in many people.  The famous New Year's Eve music strikes an emotional chord that grows stronger each year.

Well, we on Sanibel, as much as we would like to, can't stop you from aging or even from feeling melancholy about aging.  But we can offer some Island advice that could do you as much good.

While our tropical barrier island is world renowned as a great place for a destination wedding and a fabulously romantic honey moon, it is also the perfect spot for a family or friends reunion.  A small island, it is easy to stay connected on Sanibel.  But with the diversity of accommodations as well as things to do, it is also perfect for a group that may have a wide range of needs and preferences.

In fact, we can't think of a better place to assemble family and friends where togetherness as well as apart-ness can be catered to for all ages and capabilities.

If your group is relatively small, and you are looking to stay while, you might consider renting a home or even two in close proximity for a few weeks.  Private houses on Sanibel range in style from the rustic to the romantic, from the cozy to the capacious.  Many have outdoor spaces where your group can gather to catch up on gossip or re-hash old times.  Some homes have pools, some have views, some even have access to tennis.  You can even bring your pets to some homes!

If you have a large group, you might want to consider one of our condo complexes where you can rent a block of units close together.  Our complexes range from the small and intimate with only a few condos to the resort style glamorous with many units.  Some have Gulf views and several have gym facilities. There are one bedroom units, two bedroom units and three bedroom units to choose from.  All have special features.

And where else can you find the ability to bask in beautiful topicality , just relax on the beach, swim, go para sailing, biking, boating, fishing, bird watching, shell collecting and sun set gazing all in one day?...if you have the energy that is!

If you have ever coordinated a reunion before and know the challenge of finding an attractive, appropriate, clean, engaging, affordable and safe location for people from 8 to 80, you will appreciate what our little island has to offer!
