House in Fort Myers Beach, FL 33931

Gulf Heights, 5379 Palmetto St

Nestled in the heart of island serenity, this beautifully upgraded coastal home blends durability, comfort, and effortless style. Built to stand the test of time, it has weathered multiple hurricanes with ease thanks to exceptional structural features including 10 cypress support beams, double-strength Sanibel hangers, and hurricane-rated PGT windows and impact sliders. A full renovation in 2010—down to the studs—brought updated electrical, plumbing, and a long-lasting metal roof, giving the property an effective build date of 2000 per the Lee County Property Appraiser. Recent enhancements elevate the home even further, with energy-efficient sprayed-in insulation, luxury vinyl plank flooring, and a completely new AC system offering modern comfort throughout. The expansive elevated lanai creates a private retreat where you can relax in the island breeze and enjoy tranquil views. Situated on a quiet dead-end street, the home offers peace and privacy while still being just minutes from the beach, Times Square, restaurants, and Santini Plaza. With underground utilities, a desirable mid-island location, and top-tier upgrades, this residence provides the rare combination of security, longevity, and luxury. Ideal as a weekly rental investment, it delivers strong appeal to vacationers seeking both relaxation and peace of mind. Whether you’re looking for a profitable investment or your own island escape, this home is a standout opportunity. Text me today to schedule your private showing.
