Why you should consider Real Estate on Sanibel Sanibel Island is a popular vacation destination for families, couples and friends. Nearly half the island is set aside as wildlife preserve; there are also 17 miles of bike paths. Sanibel has no high-rises, and no stop lights; it’s a safe, small community that emphasizes nature, recreation and the arts. It is often touted in travel magazines and the New York Times as one of the prettiest beaches in the U.S., and as having the best seashells in North America. The weather is temperate year-round; summers are hot and humid, but with a cooling afternoon sea breeze. Winters are delightful, with days often in the 70s, and cool evenings.
Sanibel real estate investment choices range from near-beach condominiums and private homes to beachfront estates and penthouses. Buying property in this southwest Florida paradise allows you, at the very least, to write off a trip to one of the most beautiful places in North America, while building fabulous memories at the same time. Many property owners eventually relocate or retire to Sanibel. A major airport is only 45 minutes away, and the nearby Ft. Myers / Naples area has everything you could need or want.

codes. It will always remain the jewel of the county, with pristine
beaches, abundant wildlife and an island ambience, which is appreciated
and protected. Dining options abound; you can also fill your days
with shopping, boating and fishing, golf, tennis and fine arts
offerings. 
Captiva
Island real estate is basically divided into four categories:
the village area, where a homeowner can walk to everything he
wants to do, including the beach, marinas, shopping and more;
bayfront condos, homes and estates, the side of the island preferred
by boaters for its docks and rich wildlife; Gulf-front estates,
private acreages which sit directly on the beach; and homes and
condos within South Seas Resort, which comprises the northernmost
two miles of Captiva.|
