Property Description
Located at the coveted corner of Rabbit Road and West Gulf Drive, this 4-bedroom + den, 3-bath home spans 2,672 square feet of light-filled living space, thoughtfully designed to embrace island living. A private guest casita warmly welcomes visitors or renters, offering flexibility, privacy, and exceptional income potential.
Outdoors, a stunning 30' x 15' swimming pool anchors the lush landscape—perfect for sun-soaked afternoons, evening cocktails, and unforgettable gatherings with family and friends. Inside the main home, an open-concept floor plan soars with volume ceilings and expansive picture windows that frame serene natural views, blurring the lines between indoor and outdoor living. Just off the main living and dining area, a spacious deck invites morning coffee, sunset dinners, and sea-breeze-filled evenings beneath the palms.
Two guest bedrooms share a beautifully appointed full bath, creating a comfortable and relaxed coastal haven. Ascend to the second-floor primary suite, a true retreat featuring a den, bedroom, full bath and a private balcony overlooking tropical foliage with a shimmering glimpse of the Gulf.
The separate guest retreat enhances the property's versatility, boasting all-new tile flooring, a full bath, and an open, airy layout ideal for sleeping, lounging, or adding a future kitchenette—perfect for extended stays or vacation rentals.
Step outside and cross the street to your beach access, where tranquil beach walks and legendary shelling await. A bike and pedestrian path runs directly in front of the home, connecting you to Sanibel's 25+ miles of paved shared-use trails, stretching from Lighthouse Beach to Blind Pass and winding through the world-renowned J.N. “Ding” Darling National Wildlife Refuge. The rear of the property backs up to the Erick Lindblad Preserve lands, ensuring lasting privacy.
This sun-drenched island gem has been extensively updated, including a new roof (2023–2024), concrete siding, impact windows and doors, updated plumbing, hot water heater, mini-split system, and more—offering peace of mind and modern comfort.
Consistently ranked among the world's top family vacation destinations, Sanibel Island is celebrated for its natural beauty, relaxed charm, and timeless appeal. This is more than a home—it's a lifestyle, a retreat, and an investment in island living at its finest. Don't miss this extraordinary opportunity to own a true Sanibel treasure.
