Important Rental Information
FAQ
What is the minimum stay at Atrium 306? #306 is zoned for minimum 28-night stays.
When should I book my airfare or finalize my travel arrangements? Please do not book airfare until your reservation has been approved, a deposit has been posted and paid, and a reservation confirmation has been sent to you.
Is Atrium 306 pet-friendly? Pets are not permitted at The Atrium.
Does Atrium 306 have direct beach access? Yes, a private boardwalk leads from The Atrium directly to Sanibel’s beach. What’s included at The Atrium complex? A Gulf-side heated pool, new pickleball courts, bicycle storage, covered assigned parking, and a private storage unit.
Are beach towels and beach chairs provided? Yes — a minimum of 2 beach chairs are provided, along with 1 beach towel per person. Beach umbrellas are not provided.
Are bicycles provided? We don’t provide bicycles — that’s not our specialty. We leave bike rentals to the pros: Billy’s Bikes and Finnimore’s. Both deliver, provide helmets, and offer roadside assistance if needed.
How do I keep mosquitoes and no-see-ums away during my beach vacation? The best defense is an insect repellent with Picaridin, paired with light, long-sleeve coverage when you're not in the water. Loose, breathable long sleeves and pants block bites well, but that's not always practical at the beach, pool, or swimming in the Gulf — so a good Picaridin-based repellent is your go-to.
Guest favorites include Skin So Soft Bug Guard Plus Picaridin Aerosol Spray and Bug Guard Wipes/Lotion (available on Avon.com), and Sawyer Picaridin Lotion (available on Amazon). Picaridin is effective against both mosquitoes and no-see-ums, doesn't feel greasy like DEET, and won't damage swimsuits or patio furniture. Apply before heading outside in the early morning or evening, when both pests are most active.
