About this home
Experience the essence of island living in this enchanting near-beach retreat on Sanibel Island, positioned just off prestigious West Gulf Drive in the beloved community of Sea Oats. Tucked far enough inside the neighborhood to enjoy peace and privacy, yet close enough for an easy stroll to the sugar-sand shoreline, this home captures the rare balance of seclusion and accessibility that defines Sanibel luxury. From the moment you go inside, the home's timeless Old Florida character welcomes you. Soaring vaulted ceilings adorned with rich wood inlays create architectural warmth and texture, while a cozy fireplace anchors the living space, an inviting focal point for relaxed evenings after a day in the sun. Expansive windows surround the main living areas, filling the home with golden natural light and framing tranquil views of lush tropical foliage swaying gently in the Gulf breeze. The open, flowing floor plan is designed for effortless island living and memorable gatherings. The living room transitions seamlessly into a spacious dining area and well-appointed kitchen, making entertaining feel elegant and easy. Whether hosting holiday dinners, sunset cocktail parties or casual family brunches, the layout keeps everyone connected in comfort and style. Your private primary suite is a serene sanctuary, complete with its fireplace, a rare and romantic touch that elevates the space. The generous en-suite bath offers room to unwind and recharge after sun-soaked beach days. Go outside to discover where this home shines. The covered, screened lanai becomes a natural extension of the living space, ideal for alfresco dining, morning coffee or evening drinks in the tropical air. Beyond, a large caged pool invites year-round relaxation, surrounded by lush greenery that enhances beauty and privacy. And when the beach calls, you're just moments away. A short distance leads to Sanibel's world-renowned shoreline, where days are filled with shelling, kayaking, shoreline visits, sandcastle building and unforgettable Gulf sunsets. This is more than a home, it's a gateway to the laid-back coastal lifestyle that makes Sanibel one of Florida's treasured destinations. Charming. Private. Ideally placed. This is the quintessential Sanibel beach house, a place where memories are made and island time becomes your everyday rhythm.
