There is nothing like being able to just walk to the beach, especially when that beach is located on Sanibel Island, renown worldwide for its amazing Shelling and sugary sand beaches. Literally just 5 houses (5 minutes) to the private beach access that leads you to the land of enchantment, where the breathtaking multi million dollar homes dot the coastline. This charming 3 bed, 2 bath home with almost 2000 sf under air, has everything you could want in a quaint islandy beach house. After Ian came to visit, this little charmer was taken down to the studs and put back together again, better than new. From the kitchen, to the baths, to the bedrooms, to the standing seam metal roof, everything has been updated and designed keeping the Florida lifestyle in mind. Your backyard is one great big screened in heated pool, that is always inviting after a hard day of stooping and scooping those beautiful shells. Dining al fresco on your glassed in patio overlooking the pool, could end up being your favorite pastime, or just a good place to relax with that latest bestseller or join with friends and family to play some cards or games. There is a wonderful outside shower where you can wash away the salt and the sand from your lazy day at the beach or from that 15 mile bike ride you took up to Captiva. This property has provided a magical haven to the owner over the years, but as their family has grown, so did the need for a bigger house. Their loss is your gain, because this is also a popular rental retreat for vacationers from all over the world, and their are bookings currently in place for upcoming months. Visitors love the close proximity to the beach, to restaurants, to Ding Darling and now a little Bit of Bailey's is just a 2 minute bike ride up the road. This home is located on the high ridge and had absolutely no water intrusion from either Milton or Helene. What are you waiting for, Sanibel is back so much stronger and resilient after 3 long years of rebuilding, you may never get an opportunity like this again. It's time to dive in!
