Screened lanais extend the living space outdoors, offering the perfect spot to enjoy morning coffee or evening cocktails while taking in partial or full Gulf views. Ground-floor units benefit from walk-out access to the pool and beach areas. Sale prices for these desirable Sanibel Island condos range from $775,000 to $1,115,000. Monthly HOA fees, which cover various services and amenities, range from $800 to $900.

Resort-inspired amenities steps from the sand

Loggerhead Cay offers an array of amenities designed to enhance the island living experience. The centerpiece is a large heated swimming pool, perfect for year-round enjoyment. Tennis and pickleball courts cater to sports enthusiasts, while shuffleboard provides a leisurely alternative. Residents can take advantage of the community BBQ grills and picnic areas for outdoor gatherings. A clubhouse serves as a social hub for community events and activities. The complex's crowning feature is its direct beach access, allowing residents to easily enjoy Sanibel's famous shoreline and world-class shelling. For added convenience, Loggerhead Cay provides elevators in each building, making it easy for residents to access upper-floor units. The pet-friendly policy allows animal lovers to share island life with their furry companions. On-site management ensures the property is well-maintained and residents' needs are promptly addressed. Each unit comes with assigned parking, and additional storage space is available for beach gear and other belongings. The combination of these amenities and services creates a comfortable and enjoyable living environment, blending the ease of condominium living with the natural beauty of Sanibel Island.

Island paradise with natural wonders and local charm

Loggerhead Cay's location on Sanibel Island offers residents a unique blend of natural beauty and small-town charm. The island, known for its pristine beaches and abundant wildlife, provides a serene backdrop for daily life. Just a short distance from the complex, the J.N. "Ding" Darling National Wildlife Refuge beckons nature enthusiasts with its 7,000 acres of protected mangroves and diverse ecosystem. Birdwatchers and wildlife photographers flock to the refuge to observe nearly 250 bird species, as well as river otters, bobcats, and manatees. The historic Sanibel Lighthouse, located on the island's eastern tip, offers a glimpse into the area's maritime history and provides stunning views of the Gulf of Mexico. Nearby beaches, including the popular Bowman's Beach, are renowned for their excellent shelling opportunities, earning Sanibel its nickname as the "Seashell Capital of the World." For dining and shopping, residents have access to a variety of local establishments. Cielo Restaurant, about a mile from Loggerhead Cay, offers carefully sourced American cuisine in an upscale setting with live piano music. Traders Restaurant, known for its quaint atmosphere and live music, provides another dining option about two miles away. Shopping enthusiasts can explore Beach Daisy Boutique or Why Knot Sanibel, both located approximately three miles from the complex. Periwinkle Place, a charming shopping center also about three miles away, offers additional retail and dining options. The neighborhood's relaxed, island vibe is complemented by its resilient spirit. Following Hurricane Ian in 2022, the community has been steadily recovering, with many businesses and attractions reopening to welcome residents and visitors alike.

Island accessibility with a focus on leisurely exploration

Transportation on Sanibel Island emphasizes a slower pace of life, encouraging residents and visitors to embrace the natural surroundings. While the area is largely car-dependent for off-island travel, the island itself is highly conducive to cycling, with numerous bike paths connecting various points of interest. For those looking to explore beyond Sanibel, the Sanibel Causeway provides the primary connection to the mainland. This toll bridge offers scenic views of the surrounding waters and leads to Fort Myers and other nearby communities. Southwest Florida International Airport, located about 23 miles away or a 40-minute drive, serves as the main air travel hub for the region. This proximity allows for convenient access to national and international destinations while maintaining the island's secluded feel. Within Sanibel, many residents and visitors opt for bicycles as a primary mode of transportation. The island's extensive network of bike paths makes it easy and enjoyable to reach beaches, shops, and restaurants. Bike rentals are readily available for those who don't own their own. While public transportation options are limited on the island, most destinations are within a short car ride. However, it's worth noting that parking can be limited during peak seasons, making cycling or walking often more convenient for short trips. The combination of these transportation options allows residents of Loggerhead Cay to enjoy the best of both worlds – the tranquility of island living with the ability to easily access the wider region when needed.
