A Rare Sanibel Retreat: Private Family Compound with Guest House: Discover a truly one-of-a-kind property nestled between twin ponds and bordered on two sides by pristine conservation land. Located in Sanibel’s coveted West Gulf Drive neighborhood, this serene family compound offers a perfect blend of privacy, comfort, and natural beauty — all just a short stroll from a deeded beach access. The main residence features three spacious king bedrooms, including a luxurious primary suite with a private sitting room/home office, double vanity, and walk-in shower. Two additional bedrooms share a Jack & Jill bath with dual vanities and Corian countertops. A separate guest cottage, connected by a lighted and covered walkway, offers a private queen suite — ideal for visitors, extended family, or a dedicated home studio. Soaring vaulted ceilings and an airy open-plan living area lead to a sun-drenched deck — perfect for al fresco dining, grilling, or simply relaxing while watching native wildlife. The screened cabana pool area is a tropical oasis, with a heated pool and spa overlooking the peaceful pond. Thoughtfully updated, the home boasts ceramic tile flooring, Corian countertops throughout, invisible screen sliders, and modern kitchen appliances including an induction cooktop and circulating ceiling fans. A tankless water heater ensures on-demand hot water, while four individual cooling systems provide custom climate control year-round. Whether you're seeking a quiet sanctuary, a multigenerational layout, or a coastal getaway with room to entertain, this property is a rare find on Sanibel Island.
