Family Fun Magazine Names Sanibel the Top Vacation Spot in the Country: On Thursday, May 7th NBC's Today Show will present the hosts Kathie Lee Gifford and Hoda Kotb with a basket of clues by Family Fun Magazine's Deputy Editor Mary Giles. The clues are facts about the destination that was named the Best Family-Friendly Vacation Spot in the United States according to a reader poll. The hosts will be challenged to guess the top family-friendly vacation destination based on these clues. Tune in nationally between 10 am and 11 am to watch NBC's Today Show hosts try to guess this year's winner.

Sanibel Island Earned Two Awards:

1. Best Vacation Spot for Families in the US

2. Top Tourist Town

Sanibel's Many Assets Include:

  • 24 Miles of Shoreline!
  • 61% Conservation Lands!
  • 530 Species Birds, Fish, and Shells!
  • 25 Miles of Bike Baths - No Traffic Lights!
  • City Plan Protecting Sanibel for Future Generations!

Family Fun Magazine is right, Sanibel truly is one of the best places to vacation, retire, work, live and raise a family. Just be careful how often you come here on a vacation. Pfeifer Realty Group's Broker, Eric, and his wife Mary Ellen experienced this first hand when they traveled from Baltimore to Sanibel so frequently to vacation with their young children that they rented a small storage unit to keep all their vacation supplies. Most Sanibel buyers discovered the island during a vacation. Beware, renting a storage unit is a sign that a Sanibel move may be in your future too. The Pfeifer Family moved to Sanibel Island full time with their 4-year-old Daughter Darby and 2-year-old son John on August 14th, 2001.
