Inside, airy living spaces frame sweeping water views through walls of impact-resistant glass. The custom design, open-concept main level features a new gourmet kitchen with high-end appliances, custom cabinetry, and a spacious island that flows into the dining area and great room ideal for entertaining or unwinding after a day on the beach.

The lower patio is designed as a hotel-like escape, with enough space to accommodate a 20-person dining table, multiple lounge areas, outdoor kitchen and a fire pit perfect for evening gatherings beneath the palms. Outside, you’ll find direct access to one of Sanibel’s most pristine stretches of beach via your own private beach path ideal for morning walks, shell collecting, and sunset views that never get old. A front entry gated courtyard leads to a meticulously landscaped retreat featuring coral pavers, colorful orchids, vibrant foliage and large water basin creating an intimate, serene and secluded enclave.
