Sanibel, Captiva & Fort Myers Beach Trips: Where Your Group Stays

The Gulf beaches of Southwest Florida — Sanibel's shells, Captiva's sunsets, and the laid-back stretch of Fort Myers Beach — are some of the best in the country. But beachfront rentals for a big group are scarce and pricey. The smarter move: a roomy waterfront home a short drive away, where the whole group fits comfortably and you've got a pool and a dock when you're not on the sand. That's OceanTimes.

Waterfront lawn and canal at OceanTimes, a Fort Myers base for Gulf beach trips
Your beach-trip base camp: sleeps 14 · 5 bedrooms / 4 baths · private pool · boat dock · 30–45 min to Sanibel, Captiva & Fort Myers Beach · 5 minutes to downtown Fort Myers · pet friendly.

Beach days without the beachfront price

Whole-home beachfront rentals that sleep 14 are rare and expensive. OceanTimes gives your group the space — five bedrooms, four baths, a pool, and a dock — at a fraction of beachfront cost, with the Gulf beaches a short, easy drive away. Spend the day collecting shells on Sanibel or watching the sunset on Captiva, then come home to your own pool instead of a cramped condo.

More than the beach

The beaches are the headline, but you're also five minutes from downtown Fort Myers and the River District, with world-class fishing, boating, and water sports right off your private dock. Make it a true Southwest Florida trip: beach mornings, fishing afternoons, and dinners downtown.

Built for groups and families

Multiple families traveling together? Everyone gets a real bedroom, the kids share the pool, and there's a game room for the evenings. OceanTimes is pet friendly with an RV hookup — the easy, spacious home base a beach-week group actually needs.
