Hi, my name is Dave Herrick. My wife Sandy and I live
north of Boston and we have owned this unit since 2004.
We have been coming to Sanibel for over 25 years. We
owned a condo in the 80s which we unfortunately sold in 1992.
Ever since then, we have been hoping to be able to
someday re-establish an ownership position on the Island.
Our desire is to establish a high quality, well maintained
unit to which our guests will want to return to, year after
year.
During the 80s we made Sanibel our annual vacation,
usually over the Holidays to coincide with school vacations
for our three boys. Sometimes we had Christmas trees
and boats in tow. Sometimes it was grandparents joining
us to escape the Boston cold. On every occasion, it
was a trip we all looked forward to with excitement and anticipation.
My kids learned to swim on Sanibel. This is
where they saw their first alligator in the wild. We
took daily bike rides on the miles of bike paths and explored
the wildlife at the numerous sanctuaries. Sometimes
we just walked the beach at low tide and talked about whatever
interesting shells or other sealife we found. Overall,
Sanibel became a very special place in our lives. It
became a place we all enjoyed together; a difficult concept
to achieve in a diverse and growing family. During
the nineties, we missed our southern sojourns, but with the
kids involved in school activities and moving on to college,
it became increasingly difficult to schedule family trips.
Interestingly, with the kids now through school and
embarking upon their own lives and careers, they have rekindled
their own memories and attraction to the Island.
We have enjoyed this new phase in our lives
and look forward to continuing to share our Sanibel home with
our children and with other new and returning visitors.
Dave and Sandy Herrick
