About This Home

As of May 2016

Location, location, location! This adorable east end 2-bedroom 1-bath beach cottage is located 5 properties from the Gulf of Mexico and not far from the Bay. Buttonwood Lane is one of the few Sanibel roads where one end of the sand road dead ends into the Gulf and the other, into the Bay! Itâs also near the bike path, shops and restaurants, the Sanibel Lighthouse and the Sanibel Fishing Pier. The home is ground level, surrounded by mature tropical vegetation, with an open deck off sliding glass doors from the dining room. It would be a great cozy get-away or a charming rental.
