	No oil on Sanibel-Captiva Beaches. No oil. No tar balls. Nada. Zilch, Nine. Nothing but fine, powdery sand and beautiful seashels. That's the beach we have come here to love and come to love here. It is as clean today as it was two weeks ago. If you are planning a vacation to Sanibel-Captiva Islands this summer, don't let the media frenzy about oil in the Gulf deter you. Tarballs on the beach at Pensacola are regrettable. But that represents small fraction of the 633 miles of Florida beaches, and none ofhte 25 miles of beach on Sanibel & Captiva. In fact, as we head into summer, we are looking at some the best Sanibel and Captiva deals that we have had in years. Book using Code IT610. We will work jard to try to find you a week in a popular one- or two-bedroom condo in a beach front or bayfront complex for a breath-takingly low $800 a week, including the taxes. As many as six people can stay in a two-bedroom condo, or four people in a one-bedroom. No blackout dates. If we have the vacancy available, we will do everything we can to book you in. As one of our visitors said, "The only oil on these beaches is suntan oil" Memories for rent... and sale. We know that the number one benefit visitors take home from a Sanibel-Captiva vacation is rich family memories. They tell us that staying together for a week or more in one of our comfortable condos or private homes, brings a family together with shared experiences that they retain for the rest of their lives. Everyone takes home their own memories. Here are some that come back to us. That's why we say, "It's not so much where you take your vacation. It's where your vacation takes you." In the cycle of Sanibel-Captiva life, one vacation rental leads to another and another and, very often, it eventually dawns on the family that they could actually own their own island place. They could and do turn to us to manage the rental to others when they are not in residency. Eventually, again, the length of time spent on the islands grows until the one-time vacationer is a registered resident. They may occasionally rent their place through us when they are not here, but its primary purpose changes from "investment" to "home." As you move closer to that end-game, ask Royal Shell Preferred Properties to be the source for your island home. Because our Royal Shell Vacations company manages more than 400 private condos and single-family homes on Sanibel and Captiva, more than any other management company, we are confident that no one knows real estate on these islands better we do.
