It's been a while since I've updated ... It's been hectic as you can imagine.
#109 was very fortunate to have sustained no direct damage from Hurricane Ian, though the brand-new AC (put in March '22) is toast.
Our wonderful insurance - or so we thought - has denied all coverage, including AC replacement.
We have loss of use (to offset lost rental income) and loss assessments for the HOA but they are denying that too.
We are still without power and will be for a few more months. Unfortunately, in the subsequent 5 months, we have discovered some dampness issues. But no worries! We have it well under control.
I won't lie, this has been very difficult for our family and our extended #109 family. Sanibel Island and especially Sanibel Siesta has a very dear place in all our hearts.
We are very busy rebuilding. We are positive and motivated. Our goal is to be open by January 2024.
So stay tuned! Keep following on here, on Sanibel Siesta Family and Sanibel Siesta On The Beach for updates. And I promise to post more often.
Stay tuned because Sanibel Siesta on the Beach #109 and Sanibel Siesta on the Beach #205 are combining to launch an online store! Details will be posted soon.
Finally, THANK YOU ALL for your prayers and support. We love you all!!
The Ross Family

Sanibel Siesta Family,

On September 28, 2022, Hurricane Ian left a path of destruction all over Sanibel Island. Sanibel Siesta on the Beach sustained its share. Battered and beaten but the beacon of hope for Sanibel Island, the Lighthouse remained, motivating Sanibelians to begin the rebuilding process.

In the days following the hurricane, the Sanibel Siesta Family was sad to discover that our big blue chair was missing from its place of honor under the banyan tree. Not even a scrap of wood was left. Imagine our surprise when the chair was found INTACT with minor damage! Sanibel Siesta's beacon of hope and strength is back in its place under the banyan tree. This ornament honors our big blue chair and our little slice of paradise.

Sanibel Siesta is working hard every day to rebuild. Insurance won't cover all repairs, especially the landscaping. Without the anticipated rental income, our management office's requirements are also affected, including staff salaries. All proceeds from this Christmas ornament will go towards Sanibel Siesta's needs.

This ornament is 3" x 3", made of iron metal, with the big blue chair prominently displayed. Each ornament is $17 and includes shipping and handling. Ornaments will be mailed out on or about December 17, 2022, and should arrive in time for your holiday unwrapping.

Payment must be made via PayPal or Venmo and confirmed by midnight Tuesday, November 1, 2022, in order to meet the shipping deadlines. Payment links can be found at the bottom of this form.

If you have any questions, please contact me at [email protected].
Thank you for your generosity!

Becky Ross, owner #109

Checkout my friend Melanie's amazing and beautiful Sanibel items.

As you can imagine I’m not really in Sanibel right now but will be again someday for sure.

Every day there is a glimmer of hope for all of the people of Sanibel and all of us that have experienced the magic of the island and feel Sanibel in our soul.

I have lots of options being added to my Etsy Shop in the next couple of days for the Sanibel ornaments.

I’ve figured it out. I have been pondering who and what to donate to. I LOVE the wildlife of Sanibel and am happy to have come across quite a few small businesses donating to the care of injured animals through FISH and CROW as well as to "Ding" Darling Wildlife Society-Friends of the Refuge! That is amazing!!

I’ve seen lots of fundraisers happening for the people of Sanibel as well as our favorite small businesses, restaurants and Inns. Love hearing this too.

I have decided that for each Sanibel Oyster Shell Ring Dish and Sanibel ornament that I sell between now and Christmas I am going to match by giving each student in Sanibel a DIY Ocean Art Kit & Gift Box!

I can’t imagine how these kids are doing with their lives flipped upside down and I want to put something special together for them to bring some joy to their day.

I am still working on the details of what will be included in the box and how these will make it to the students before Christmas. If I ship them I will be sure to ship no later than 12/10/22. I am thinking a great pick up spot when the time comes will be at a local fire station or the community center.

The kits for sure will include one ocean art kit, a set of beads and I’m thinking about the rest but want to make it special and will keep you updated and of course put some pictures together. There are about 385 students I’m told. With your help we can make this happen!! I’ll keep you posted on how many we are up to as we go!

PLEASE SHARE!!
Also, If you would like to contribute to this gift box please reach out to me in my Etsy shop to go over details. ❤️

Patricia is a wonderful friend! She works at Sanibel Siesta on the Beach #109 /Sanibel Siesta On The Beach.

Hurricane Ian took everything - even her car. She's starting over. Her friends and family are helping her in every way we can.

Sanibel Island is locked down, and it will be some time before Sanibel Siesta is up and running. Very uncertain times financially. Any and all help is very much appreciated!!

Hurricane Ian Ferry Update 10-2-2022

Sanibel Island, Fla. – Sanibel Fire and Rescue District along with countless first responders throughout Lee County have worked around the clock to evacuate residents on Sanibel Island. The City of Sanibel and Sanibel Fire and Rescue District organized a ferry to evacuate residents still left on Sanibel Island after Hurricane Ian. The ferry is currently only being utilized to transport first responders, emergency personnel, and evacuees off Sanibel Island.

At a later date, the ferry will be used to assist the public with access to Sanibel Island. Residents and visitors should avoid the area while first responders are working and allow crews to focus on rescue efforts for those still left on the island.

How you can help Florida

30/09/2022

The buildings are standing!
It will be awhile before anyone can be on the ground (mayor's orders until everyone is accounted for).

They hope to have power restored in the next couple weeks. Then clean up can begin.

Please keep Sanibel and all of SW Florida in your thoughts and prayers.

We don't know the extent of damage yet. A part of the Causeway has collapsed. It will take time.

Please keep Sanibel and all of SW Florida in your thoughts and prayers.

We will rebuild!
