Magazine-Worthy Sanibel Retreat

Tucked away on one of the most coveted streets in Sanibel, this exquisite private residence captures the relaxed sophistication and charm that define this island paradise. Just steps from both the bay and the Gulf of Mexico, the home offers a rare vantage point where glimpses of the shimmering gulf can be admired from the front yard. With its lush, magazine-worthy landscaping and impeccable curb appeal, it’s no wonder this property was chosen as the backdrop for a national campaign, its beauty is irresistible, and passersby often pause to admire and photograph its idyllic setting.

Inside, the home unfolds into a thoughtfully designed retreat that balances upscale coastal elegance with island comfort. Natural light floods the interiors, highlighting a refined palette, plush furnishings, and curated design touches that lend the space an editorial flair. Three well-appointed bedrooms accommodate up to seven guests, including two king suites and a queen guest room, each complemented by its own bathroom. Every corner of this residence feels intentional, down to the smallest detail, creating a sanctuary that’s both elevated and welcoming.

Outdoor living is truly celebrated here. The screened-in lanai offers a seamless transition between interior luxury and open-air serenity, featuring a sparkling private pool and hot tub surrounded by tropical landscaping. Alfresco lounging and dining areas invite long afternoons in the sun and tranquil evenings under the stars. Whether swimming laps, soaking in the hot tub, or reading poolside, the ambiance is both rejuvenating and indulgent. And with the gentle ocean breezes drifting in, the experience is quintessential Sanibel.

The home’s location offers the perfect blend of tranquility and walkable convenience. Just a block away, guests will find beloved local gems including a coffee shop, deli, ice cream parlor, charming restaurants, and a welcoming bar. The island's famed bike paths can be accessed with ease, and bicycles are available at the property for exploring the scenic surroundings. Whether birdwatching at J.N. "Ding" Darling National Wildlife Refuge or shell hunting along the beach, this coastal haven offers something for every pace and passion.

This Sanibel retreat blends refined island living with effortless access to the best the region has to offer. From its designer interiors to its enviable setting, this exceptional 3 Key residence is perfectly suited for those seeking a laid-back yet upscale coastal escape.
