Luxury at a cost - Space to unwind:
Clamshell has always been rated by our guests as one of the very best condos on Sanibel. Our fees reflect the fact that we have spared nothing to provide the very best. Perhaps that is why over 90 percent of our rental days each year come from repeat renters, some of whom have been coming to Clamshell for more than 15 years. We are set up to accommodate 4 people maximum, but offer more living space than many other condos claiming to sleep 8 and more. We don't rely on sofa-beds, futons, air-matresses in living areas - every guest gets a bed in a bedroom with private bath and spacious closets. And because three of the six Clamshell townhouses are used only by owners, none of whom ever use the beach, you will find that Clamshell's 300 feet of Gulf-front beach is almost always yours to enjoy on your own.

Anne Morrow Lindbergh's Sanibel:
'Rollers on the beach, wind in the pines, the slow flapping of herons across sand dunes,
drown out the hectic rhythms...of timetables and schedules.
The mind...begins to drift, to play, to turn over in gentle careless rolls like those lazy waves on the beach.
One never knows what chance treasures these easy rollers may toss up,
on the smooth white sand of the conscious mind.' —Anne Morrow Lindbergh. If Anne Morrow Lindbergh's description of her time on Sanibel Island sounds enticing, Clamshell offers you probably the best vacation rental where you may enjoy a similar experience.
