Tranquil Oceanfront Island Escape with Resort Amenities

Cross the three mile Sanibel Island causeway bridge and feel the stress melt away. Embracing the charm of Florida’s Gulf Coast island living, this elegant second floor, two-bedroom / two-bathroom 1400 square foot condominium at Sanibel Cottages Resort offers a refined yet relaxed escape on the tranquil shores of Sanibel Island. Blending Victorian-inspired architecture with coastal comfort, the resort’s timeless design, complete with a signature white gazebo, sets the tone for a stay defined by peace, leisure, and family connection. The property is comprised of only seven oceanfront buildings in a U-shape around a small pond with four units per building, making this a quiet and peaceful retreat.

Inside, the spacious condominium captures the essence of easy island living. The primary bedroom features a plush king-size bed with a TV and direct sliding door access to an outside balcony. The room also features an en suite bath with an oversized tub, separate shower and double sinks. The second bedroom offers two twin beds, private balcony access, and a TV, with a full bathroom just across the hall.

The open-concept living and dining area invites relaxation with its comfortable coastal colored furnishings, screened in lanai with doors that open the width of the room and a queen sleeper sofa for additional flexibility. A fully equipped kitchen, complete with a microwave, coffeemaker, and in unit washer/dryer, ensures that every stay feels as easy as it is inviting.

A screened lanai and open wrap-around balcony overlooks the tropical gardens and the glimmering Gulf beyond, perfect for savoring a quiet morning coffee or watching the sunset paint the horizon in shades of coral and gold. Resort amenities enhance the experience with a sparkling swimming pool, hot tub, barbecue grills for alfresco dining, direct beach access for miles of shoreline walking, and sand chairs to take to the beach. The resort also has tennis, pickleball and shuffleboard courts on site. And with on-site management, there is always someone to answer questions about the property or the island. There are no additional resort fees.

Beyond the resort, Sanibel Island’s pristine beaches, nature trails, two 18 hole golf courses, and locally owned boutique shops await exploration. Spend the day shelling along the shoreline, cycling through lush island paths, kayaking the mangroves, visiting the connected charming Captiva Island, or renting a boat to explore the inland waterways. You can spend the afternoon visiting the Shell Museum, the Sanibel library or Recreation Center, dining at one of the many restaurants, or buying local treats at the Sunday Sanibel Farmers Market.

Combining the comforts of home with the magic of a low-key island retreat, this Sanibel condominium offers an idyllic setting for both rest and recreation, a classic coastal haven where every sunset feels like a private masterpiece.
