Private poolLarge windowsBright modern interiorAiry living spaceCrisp white cabinetryPocketing sliding glass doorsStainless-steel appliances

Tucked along one of the highest ridges in the Sanibel Bayous, this 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath retreat sits at 9 ft. of base elevation, it's like having an "elevated" ground level, giving you rare peace of mind in a ground level home on the island. Step inside to a bright, modern interior where the kitchen shines with sleek countertops, stainless-steel appliances and crisp white cabinetry, all opening to an airy living space. Pocketing sliding glass doors and large windows dissolve the line between indoors and out, leading straight to your private pool surrounded by lush tropical greenery. Mornings start with a short bike ride to Bowman’s Beach, consistently ranked among Sanibel’s best for shelling, sunsets and quiet stretches of sand. Evenings end poolside, listening to the island settle in around you. Whether you’re a beachcomber, a nature lover or simply looking for a quiet escape, this home delivers the Sanibel lifestyle you’ve been waiting for.
