About This Home

Tucked away on one of Florida’s most treasured barrier islands, this Sanibel escape isn’t just a home—it’s a front-row ticket to paradise. Just across the street from the beach, it comes with something almost no one else has: a private, deeded beach access with its own parking spot. That means no circling for parking, no long treks with beach gear—just you, your flip-flops, and the Gulf. But the real surprise? While the beach is steps away, the back of the property opens up to jaw-dropping views of the Sanibel River and the lush fairways of the Sanibel Island Golf Club. It’s a rare combination—golf course serenity meets beachside convenience—and it’s all right here. Walking in the front door, the island vibe kicks in instantly. Vaulted ceilings, tons of natural light, and a direct line of sight to the water create that open-air, coastal feel that never gets old. The living room is spacious, inviting, and perfect for winding down after a beach day—or gearing up for a sunset happy hour. The kitchen, let’s just say it’s made for more than morning coffee. Custom wood cabinets, a commercial-sized fridge and freezer, induction cooktop, and wine cooler make it as functional as it is beautiful. Whether you’re cooking for friends or laying out a casual charcuterie spread, this space delivers. Now for the showstopper: the primary suite. Picture this—a fireplace next to a twin-sized soaking tub, and a grotto-style stone shower that feels like you just wandered into a private spa in Bali. It’s the kind of retreat you don’t expect to find in a beach house, but here, it’s your everyday reality. Outside, you’ve got your screened-in pool, a large deck for lounging or grilling, and even an outdoor shower to rinse off after your ocean dips. And because Sanibel life is about easy living, this home has already been renovated post-Hurricane Ian with fresh Hardie siding, a new metal roof, and hurricane-rated garage doors—all with coastal style in mind. The best part, you’re within walking distance of Sundial Resort, Casa Ybel, and Sanibel Island Inn. That means beachfront cocktails, sushi, a spa day, or a quick game of pickleball are always on the table. The public amenities at Sundial—including its legendary tiki bar and Japanese steakhouse—are open and welcoming. This place isn’t just near the action. It is the action, with enough peace, privacy, and postcard views to remind you that yes, you really are living the island dream. Welcome to your new favorite corner of Sanibel.
