Sun, Fun, Play, Stay — Island Living at Its Best! Welcome to this impeccably maintained 3-bedroom, 3-bath half-duplex, just moments from the Sanibel Causeway in the highly sought-after High Dunes community. Move-in ready and owner-occupied, this coastal retreat is ready to welcome its next lucky residents. High Dunes is a hidden gem, offering an intimate lifestyle with only four duplex buildings sharing access to a sparkling community pool, as well as pickleball and tennis courts. Just a short walk away, Bailey Beach awaits—a serene, locals’ favorite where breathtaking sunrises over the Causeway set the tone for perfect mornings. Inside, you’ll find vaulted ceilings with charming shiplap detail that elevate the space with light and airiness. The open-concept living and dining areas flow effortlessly to a spacious screened-in porch via impact-rated sliding glass doors—ideal for indoor-outdoor living. Impact-rated windows and a standing seam metal roof provide lasting peace of mind and storm protection. Each of the three generously sized bedrooms features its own updated bath, perfect for hosting family and friends. Upstairs, a versatile loft offers space for a home office, media room, or cozy retreat—with a private screened balcony to enjoy the breeze. Additional highlights include a two-car carport/garage and extra storage—plenty of space for beach gear, a golf cart, or your favorite Florida toys. Homes this thoughtfully maintained and well-appointed are rare. Don’t miss your chance to embrace the island lifestyle with all the comforts of home!
