SHELLBOX COTTAGE NOTES: Showings restart October 1st 2021. Comps available. 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". The current owners use it part of high season and rent the rest of the year. It's 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. There may be no other home on the island this close to the beach in this price range with tennis and pool. On the main level is the master bedroom & full master bath, a living & dining spaces, kitchen, a bright Florida room and a 4 season lanai that closes off for guests. You will be hard pressed to find more living space in this price range - it's a genius layout for the right family. A loft, up spiral like steps, functions now 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).
