Villa Sanibel 2D: Ground-Floor with Pool View & Direct Beach Access
LUXURY GROUND FLOOR CONDO | 10 FEET TO POOL | 100 STEPS TO BEACH
Villa Sanibel 2D - Luxury Ground-Floor Retreat | Steps to Pool and Just 100 Steps to Sanibel's Beautiful Beach
Imagine starting your morning with coffee on your private patio, the sparkling pool just a few feet away, and Sanibel's world-famous white sand beach about 100 steps beyond. Villa Sanibel 2D offers a convenient location in this intimate 20-unit community on West Gulf Drive. This newly and beautifully renovated two-bedroom, two-bath condominium has been designed to feel more like a luxury beach home than a typical vacation rental. Every room has been carefully furnished with Pottery Barn decor, for an elegant coastal atmosphere. Throughout the condo you will find original custom oil paintings of Sanibel's birds and beaches, while the primary bathroom features a handmade ceramic tile around the mirror of local shells created by the owner - a unique artistic touch you won't find anywhere else. Look for the penguin in the tiles-the grand-daughter's favorite "Sanibel" animal. The spacious, open-concept living area flows effortlessly onto your private ground-floor patio, only ten feet to the heated pool. After a refreshing swim, you're just a short stroll from one of Sanibel Island's best shelling beaches, famous for sunsets, and miles of walkable shoreline. For guests who enjoy cooking, the kitchen is exceptionally well equipped. Whether you're preparing a quick breakfast before heading to the beach or a gourmet dinner featuring fresh local seafood, you will appreciate quality cookware, an induction cooktop, KitchenAid mixer, premium pots and pans, and all the essentials needed to prepare memorable meals. (Sadly, per rental restrictions, spices and pantry staples cannot be provided). The primary suite features a luxurious king bed, flat screen TV, closet space and a private en-suite bath with double vanity and tub/shower combination. The guest bedroom offers a comfortable queen bed, TV, and convenient access to the second full bathroom with a walk-in shower. A queen sleeper sofa provides additional sleeping accommodations for family or friends.

We had a terrific time at this property. It was great for our family of four, with two children 9 and 7 years old. The pool is literally steps away from the door to the lanai. The beach is a VERY short walk away as well. The condo was well-appointed with everything you would need and more. Everyone felt at home as soon as we walked in. We really enjoyed staying here for our vacation to Sanibel.

Reviewer Comments:
The unit was like new. No coffee maker when we arrived, but management company responded quickly and brought a new one the day after we arrived. My family has stayed at Villa Sanibel on multiple occasions over the last 10+ years and we love the location. I would stay in this unit again for sure.
