Sanibel Condo Deals

Ever thought about getting a place on Sanibel?

I know, during your last visit you checked out a few units and cringed at the prices........Might it be time to rethink Sanibel as a viable 2nd home option?

Today there are four Sanibel condos available for under $300,000 and a total of 36 available for under $500,000.

One of the best Sanibel deals is a 2BR condo at Spanish Cay, on Middle Gulf Drive, across from the beach. This property is listed for $285,000.

Another interesting option is a 2BR condo at Seashells of Sanibel, located on West Gulf Drive. This property is listed for $345,900.

Not So Big Architectural Movement


Here is an interesting concept from a local firm, the Seacoast Cottage Company. This company is developing a niche focusing on high-end not-so-big construction. In this era of trophy homes and over-zealous mcmansions, a focus on quality over quantity is a fresh and welcomed approach.

The Not So Big movement was created by architect Sarah Susanka, who has since 1998 published six books on the topic.

Many of the buildable lots in treasured oceanside locations like Sanibel, Captiva, Boca Grande and Fort Myers Beach are smaller and unable to support a large trophy home. Seacoast Cottage truly offers a great solution this application.

Seacoast Cottage is planning on building a model home in The Dunes community on Sanibel. I look forward to viewing this property when complete.
