About 748 Windlass Way
An incredible opportunity! Offering an exceptional amount of home and lifestyle, a find unlikely to be seen again. On Sanibel’s desired East End, this home on an elevated lot, offers one of the island’s convenient and desirable locations. A deeded beach path leads directly to a pristine Gulf shoreline, known for its endless shells and soft white sand. Everything that makes Sanibel special, the beaches, the bike paths, the island’s vibrant yet peaceful atmosphere, is right at your doorstep. From this home, you’re just moments from charming cafés, restaurants, and shops, with easy on and off island access. The wide canal-front retreat embodies the essence of Sanibel living, where tranquility meets adventure. From your own private oversized dock with a 10,000-pound boat lift, you can cast a line, paddleboard through winding mangrove-lined canals, or launch your boat for easy direct access to the Gulf. Dolphins are frequently spotted right off your dock, adding a touch of everyday magic. The home itself is generously scaled and thoughtfully designed for gathering and quiet retreat. Recently updated, it features a new kitchen with all new appliances, updated baths, a new roof and numerous additional upgrades throughout. The pool area is ideal for relaxed afternoons or a refreshing dip after a day at the beach. Two inviting balconies capture gentle Gulf breezes and offer vantage points to enjoy the island’s best times of day, from soft morning light to glowing sunset skies. This is your time to stop dreaming and start living the Sanibel life.
