Gulf Front Condo - 25 Feet to the Beach - 4 Free Bikes

Our 2BR/2BA gulf front unit is only 25 feet from the beach, an amenity hard to find anywhere on the Island.   Located almost exactly on the elbow of Sanibel, the views offer both inspiring morning sunrises and spectacular evening sunsets.  The beach is famous for the variety of shells that are found and the surf is generally gentle and slopes gradually, making for a great swim area, especially for small children.  With limited development on both sides, the atmosphere of tropical remoteness and serenity is enhanced.  With 1000 SF of living space, the unit comfortably accommodates up to 4 people.  The screened lanai overlooks the short walkway to the beach and the Gulf.

The complex has 64 units in 4 buildings, located on a quiet secluded dead end street.  Its midpoint location on the Island makes for a short drive to Periwinkle and the center of Island shopping.  Exterior amenities include tennis courts, heated swimming pool, grills, shuffleboard, basketball court, covered parking, beach chairs, bocce ball set and other beach games and toys.  We also have four adult bikes available at no additional charge.

We make personal and family use of the condo 6-8 weeks each year.   As such, we furnish, decorate and equip the unit to the standards required to make it a comfortable second home.  The kitchen is fully equipped with modern appliances.  You will also find an ample supply of dishes, cookware, utensils, dishtowels and other kitchenware to meet all your needs.  The dining room comfortably seats six and opens to the living room, the lanai and the spectacular ocean view.  The master bedroom has a king bed and there are twin beds in the second bedroom and a sleep sofa in the livingroom.  All linens and towels are provided and there is a washer and dryer in the unit.  We try to include as many staples as possible so you don’t have to run to the store as soon as you arrive and don’t have to buy a month’s supply of something for a one-week stay.  These include items like soap, shampoo, toilet paper, dish and laundry detergent, paper towels and much more.

Without question, the greatest attraction of Sanibel is its beach.   While other beaches may have better or more sand, higher dunes or other favored characteristics, there is something about the total tropical experience of walking the beach at Sanibel.   The combination of magnificent views and a shoreline that brings a new population of shells with every tide is rivaled only by the grace and beauty of the pelicans and gulls in the sky. The dolphins playing in the surf produce a serenity and solitude that is unmatched anywhere.

If outdoor sports are your priority, enjoy the three island golf courses and several championship courses nearby. Tennis courts are available at no charge and there are miles of bike paths on Sanibel on which you can explore the Island on the four bicycles provided at no charge. For the nature lover there is the Ding Darling Wildlife Sanctuary offering rare sightings of tropical birds, alligators and other wildlife. There is also The Bailey Tract and Tarpon Bay, which have nature trails, mangrove canoe trails and other interesting exhibits.
