Tucked along Middle Gulf Drive just moments from the sand, this unique Sanibel property offers a rare combination of near-beach access, privacy, and flexible living with a separate guest cottage. The elevated main residence is complemented by a charming detached guest house positioned across a beautiful screened pool courtyard, creating an ideal layout for hosting friends, welcoming extended family, or providing guests with their own private retreat. One of the most distinctive features of this location is the ability to walk to both the beach and nearby dining. Very few properties on Sanibel offer this level of convenience, allowing owners and guests to enjoy sunset strolls to the shoreline or a casual walk to a nearby tiki bar and restaurant. Built in 2013 with impact windows and doors, a metal roof, and thoughtful design throughout, the home provides modern construction and peace of mind while maintaining the relaxed coastal character Sanibel is known for. Whether used as a private island retreat, a gathering place for family and friends, or a flexible property with space for guests, this home represents a rare opportunity to enjoy one of Sanibel's most desirable near-beach locations. A rare opportunity to own a truly special beach home in an unbeatable location.
