Own or Rent a Week on Sanibel Island

Lighthouse Resort and Club has welcomed families to Sanibel Island since 1979.

Welcoming Guests Since 1979 on Sanibel Island.

Lighthouse Resort and Club is one of Sanibel Island's most enduring family-owned resorts, offering vacation ownership and weekly rentals since 1979.

There's a difference between staying somewhere new each year and coming back to a place that genuinely feels like yours. Some guests here own a week that returns automatically—the same unit, the same week, the same island. Others rent when the timing is right, with no long-term commitment. Either way, you get the full resort, not just a room.

A Week That's Yours, Every Year.

Owning a timeshare week at Lighthouse Resort and Club on Sanibel Island means your annual vacation is always secured.

Owners here get one specific week on Sanibel Island guaranteed each year—no searching for availability, no uncertainty about where you'll be. Many have been returning for decades, and that community of familiar faces is part of what makes the week worth looking forward to. It's a consistent rhythm in a life that doesn't always offer one.

Rent a Full Week on Sanibel Island.

Lighthouse Resort and Club rents fully equipped units by the week, putting the whole island at your door without the long-term commitment of ownership.

A rental week comes with a fully equipped unit, access to every on-property amenity, and a real Sanibel Island address for your entire stay. It's a good fit for first-time visitors and families who want to experience the island at a genuine resort pace before deciding anything else. You're not booking a hotel room — you're getting the whole place.

Everything You Need Is Already Here.

Both owners and rental guests at Lighthouse Resort and Club have full access to every on-property amenity from the day they arrive.

The resort has a pool, outdoor common spaces, and landscaped grounds that give guests somewhere to settle in beyond their unit. Sanibel Island's beaches and the J.N. Ding Darling National Wildlife Refuge are close by, so the wider island is easy to explore. The amenities come with your stay — they're not an add-on.

  • How long are vacation rental stays at Lighthouse Resort and Club?

    Rental stays at Lighthouse Resort and Club are offered by the week. Weekly rental periods give guests enough time to experience Sanibel Island properly: the beaches, wildlife refuges, and the unhurried pace of the island. Short-stay or nightly rental options are not currently available at this property.

  • What does owning a timeshare week at a Sanibel Island resort actually mean?

    Timeshare ownership at Lighthouse Resort and Club means you purchase the right to use a resort unit for one specific week each year. That week is yours annually, giving you a guaranteed Sanibel Island vacation without searching for availability each time. Ownership also connects you to a long-standing community of returning guests.
