~Sandpiper Beach #202: Sanibel's Best-Kept Secret~
Reimagined. Rebuilt. Better Than Ever.
Welcome back to a very special corner of Sanibel Island. After Hurricane Ian, Sandpiper Beach has been lovingly reimagined and beautifully rebuilt—and Unit #202 shines as a testament to thoughtful renewal. This is the island sanctuary you've been dreaming of, now even more stunning than before.
~Discover True Island Serenity~
Tucked away on 13 pristine acres adjacent to Gulfside City Park, Sandpiper Beach is what "hidden gem" was invented to describe. With just 27 condos across 5 low-rise buildings, this intimate beachfront community delivers something increasingly rare: genuine peace, privacy, and that elusive feeling of having discovered your own secret slice of paradise.
The moment you open the door to #202, the Gulf of Mexico greets you with its mesmerizing blue expanse. Take a deep breath. You've arrived. You're on island time now.
Completely Renovated
Every inch of this 2-bedroom, 2-bath retreat has been thoughtfully reimagined with modern coastal style and comfort in mind. From the beautiful pale blue-gray driftwood solid-surface flooring to the mid-century modern furnishings with a playful twist, #202 strikes the perfect balance between sophisticated design and barefoot ease.
Living & Dining Spaces
The open layout flows effortlessly from living room (seating for 6) to dining area, with your stunning gulf view as the backdrop. Sink into the comfortable sofa or modern side chairs—perfect for gathering to watch a movie on the Smart TV, tackle a puzzle, or simply enjoy being together.
The sleek dining table seats 6, while the expansive quartz kitchen bar provides additional seating for 4. It's ideal for remote work sessions, casual meals, game nights, or puzzle marathons with that incredible view keeping you company.
Gourmet Kitchen
Fully-equipped with easy-care quartz countertops and a complete suite of stainless steel appliances (range/oven, microwave, refrigerator, dishwasher), this kitchen makes meal prep a pleasure. Whether you're brewing morning coffee or preparing your catch of the day, you'll have everything you need.
Primary Suite: Your Private Sanctuary
Your king-sized bed faces those captivating gulf views, with a sliding door leading directly to the screened lanai—perfect for sunrise coffee or evening stargazing. Smart TV, lamps with built-in USB charging ports, and an expanded spa-like en-suite bathroom with double vanity, subway tile, Carrara marble countertop, and walk-in shower complete this peaceful retreat.
Guest Bedroom & Bath
Two twin beds, Smart TV, and full-size closet create a comfortable space for family or friends. The newly renovated guest bathroom features stylish subway tile and a single vanity, while a convenient closet area houses the full-size high-efficiency washer and dryer.
Your Screened Lanai
This is where you'll spend countless hours. Watch the sunrise paint the sky in brilliant hues, observe birds and wildlife in their natural habitat, listen to the rhythmic waves, and witness those legendary Sanibel sunsets. It's your front-row seat to nature's daily performance.
Steps to Everything That Matters
A quick trip downstairs brings you to the heated pool with chaise lounges, grilling area, shell washing station, and the boardwalk to the beach. You're just 110 yards from the sugar-sand shores where world-famous Sanibel shells await discovery.
