Loving Sanibel Comes Naturally Here

At Ocean’s Reach, protecting our island isn't just a policy—it's part of our DNA. We are incredibly proud to be the only property on Sanibel Island to attain the distinguished “Two Palm” Green Lodging rating. Since becoming the island’s very first "Florida Green Lodging" establishment in 2008, we’ve been proving that you don’t have to sacrifice comfort to care for the coast. Experience the luxury of Sanibel with zero compromise, where your stay supports sustainable tourism practices,from energy efficiency to dune preservation, without sacrificing an ounce of comfort.

How We Protect Our Paradise (Behind the Scenes)

We believe sustainability is built on hundreds of small, thoughtful choices. While you relax, our eco-systems are hard at work: 

  • Smart Efficiency: All condos feature ENERGY STAR® appliances, high-efficiency smart thermostats, and advanced air filters for cleaner, cooler air. 
  • Clean & Green: We use only "Green Seal" certified cleaning products and EPA-approved organic fertilizers for our landscaping. 
  • Charged Up: Driving electric? We feature two new BreezEV supercharging stations, capable of fast-charging up to four vehicles at once.

Live Like a Local: How You Can Help

We invite you to join us in keeping Sanibel pristine. Here are a few easy ways to leave a lighter footprint during your stay: 

  • Ditch the Plastic: Help us keep our beaches beautiful by skipping single-use plastics. We recommend bringing a reusable water bottle to the beach and using cloth bags for your grocery runs. 
  • Recycle with Ease: We’ve made it simple. You can co-mingle your recyclables (glass, plastic, paper) and drop them in the bins next to the tennis court. 
  • Power Down: When you head out to the beach, please flip off the lights, TVs, and fans. 
  • Explore on Two Wheels: Sanibel is world-famous for its bike paths. Skip the car and rent a bike—it’s the best way to see the island! 
  • Keep it Cool: To keep the humidity out and the cool air in, please keep doors and windows closed when the A/C is running. 

Thank you for partnering with us to keep Sanibel beautiful for generations to come!
