Three separate ac systems keep every zone comfortable, two gas-fired tankless water heaters deliver efficient, on-demand hot water throughout the house, and a portable lcec generator hookup means peace of mind no matter what the season brings. Step outside to your private pool, the natural centerpiece for sanibel's outdoor lifestyle — morning laps, afternoon lounging, sunset cocktails. Plenty of storage and an office space are also available. And when the beach calls, it's a five-minute walk away, putting gulf breezes and shell-strewn sand within easy reach any time the mood strikes. The east end is prized for a reason: tucked close to the island's best beaches, dining, and the historic sanibel lighthouse, yet removed enough to feel like your own private retreat.
