The Perfect Classic Sanibel Cottage! You could walk into Shellbox Cottage tomorrow & make this bright & fresh home yours, or if you wished, continue it's strong rental record of a lifestyle approach that appeals to many guests looking for a piece of "old Florida". An authentic beach cottage experience that the owners have carefully & deliberately maintained. Sanibel as you remember it. Charming quaint & full of warmth. The bike path is just outside this near beach home. On the main level is the master bedroom & bath, living & dining spaces, kitchen, a bright Florida room and screened lanai. A loft, up spiral like steps, can function as a second bedroom. The Shellbox was once owned by Sanibel's first real estate agent, Pricilla Murphy - "the woman who named Periwinkle" (as the Sanibel Historical Museum calls her). The cottage maintains its original wood walls and many elements of its time sitting on the Gulf before it was moved back a block to Donax Village, a lush and quiet 4-acre oasis with mature tropical trees with an uncrowded pool and tennis. A rare building on Sanibel - a free standing home yet part of small, pleasant & dedicated condo association. Rewired in 2012.
