About this property

Gulf front 3 bedroom townhome pets, 6 bikes, pool, cabana remodeled 2023

COMPLETELY REMODLED AND NOW AVAILABLE as of April 1, 2023. THE SEA SHELLING IS AMAZING. Jerry's, Doc Ford's, Mucky Duck, Traders and 15 other restaurants are now open. Sanibel Island has been consistently ranked in the top 10 beaches in North America. Arthur Frommer's a well-known vacation destination expert recently named Sanibel Island one of his top vacation destination in the world. Sanibel Island has sand so fine that it feels like flour between your toes and boasts some of the best shelling in the world. It is very tropical, non-commercial, clean, friendly and has a huge appreciation of wildlife and the arts. A frequent vacation destination for Europeans. My townhouse has a furnished cabana with a refrigerator. You can enjoy the island using over 25 miles of bike paths and I furnish 6 adult bikes with helmets for your pleasure in the garage. The townhouse/beach house has the "blast" package that has a high-speed internet speed of 300 Mbps, Wifi and HDTV. It has Showtime and Turner Classics movie channel. and additional sports channels. There are plenty of Tommy Bahama beach chairs, beach umbrellas, beach towels, a cooler and a cart to bring everything to the beach, plus .8 adult bikes with helmets, boogies boards, sand toys, and fishing poles all in the two car garage.. It has good fishing, boating and many delicious restaurants on the Island. Great relaxing destination from the big city life.

Golden Beach is a great secluded Gulf front townhome (beach house). Located at the end of Southwinds Drive, this 4-unit complex is a getaway from the hustle and bustle, but still within driving distance to excellent restaurants, recreational activities and shopping.

The bathrooms were recently remodeled with granite countertops and twin sinks. Two of the bedrooms on the third floor face the Gulf of Mexico, so you can enjoy watching the sun rise and set and listen to the surf.. All of the furniture in the lanai, living room, dining room and bar stools are brand new. New master king size bed mattress/box springs with "Elite mattress (April. 2023), brand new second bedroom king size mattress/box springs and two new twin beds with "Elite" mattresses/box springs (April, 2023). There is a brand new sleeper sofa/hide-a-bed with extra thick 8" mattress, love seat (April, 2023) in the living room. Also a new heating/AC system, 65 inch flat screen TV in the living room and 45 inch flat screen TVs in the bedrooms that face the Gulf of Mexico.

The windows/sliding doors were replaced with high impact hurricane glass also in April, 2023. All of the appliances in the kitchen and Kuerig and regular coffee makers are in the completely furnished kitchen..

The pool faces the Gulf of Mexico and there is the pool patio, plus an additional patio between the pool and the Gulf of Mexico. The down stairs cabana is furnished and includes a refrigerator. A full two car garage is a nice added feature.

Lovely location!
Our family of 6 and our pup enjoyed a week in Jim’s townhome. The location was right on a wonderful shelling beach and right down the road from bike paths. Our children enjoyed the large pool shared by 4 townhomes. We rode bikes almost everywhere we went and we covered the whole island. Location was just a few minute bike ride to Jerry’s grocery store, shops, restaurants and ice cream. The home was clean and had had everything we needed to cook meals at home. Having the garage stocked with beach chairs, umbrellas, and bikes was so convenient. We hope to stay again!

This property is in a great location, right on the beach and close to restaurants and shopping. It’s also off the main road so you can usually avoid most of the traffic. We really enjoyed shelling on the beach and sitting by the pool. The condo was very clean and comfortable. The view of the beach/ocean was amazing. Bikes and beach gear provided. We hope to stay here again!

Everything promised and MORE
From the moment we opened the door and saw the beautiful view of the Gulf, our time here was perfect. It seemed the owner had thought of everything: 2- 10x10 tents, tons of beach chairs, beach paraphernalia, beach cart, flashlights, bikes & helmets and the list could go on and on. We had a couple of minor issues but they were taken care of promptly. Can't say enough good things about this place and its owner. Thank you for an absolutely perfect vacation- can't wait to come back!!!

One of THE best...
with a party of 7 adults, we ALL absolutely loved the place, location (LITERALLY almost at the shore), and especially the owner & communications. He was reeling from damage from Helene, his care & response to get the place/amenities up & going was phenomenal! Unfortunately our stay was cut short by Hurricane Milton, however, we have already decided to return if possible in November. We HIGHLY recommend staying here. We'll be back for SURE!

An excellent beachfront Sanibel rental!
I am so glad that we found this place. The location for us was perfect, the beach was beautiful. The condo was beautifully decorated and very comfortable. The host went above and beyond to make sure that we were comfortable and had everything that we needed and that we enjoyed her stay.

Beautiful getaway for the whole family
We had the best time and the property owner Jim even called and checked up on us during our stay. The views from the entire home were breathtaking and our two small dogs were very comfortable and happy there with us as well. The path to the beach was nice to walk and very private as it only belongs to the 4 townhomes in the area. All the comforts of home with the amenities and close enough to everything.

We found ourselves sitting and watching the waves very often! The beach was so close, closer than any other place I have stayed on Sanibel.10/10 would stay here again!
