Great Location! Secluded House with Pool near Beach
This very comfortable, fully renovated, three-bedroom, two-bath home is located only a five-minute walk from a spectacular, private-access, wide sandy beach. The house is sited on a very private one-acre lot bordered by conservation land and a bayou. You can watch the wonderful birds of Sanibel, look for seashells in the sand, sun yourself in the secluded back yard, kayak in the bayou, or swim in the heated outdoor pool.
The house was fully renovated in 2024 with all new appliances. The open floor plan, the restored terrazzo floors, and the beautiful marble and dolomite countertops in the kitchen and bathroom give this house an elegant, spacious feel.
Located in prestigious Chateaux Sur Mer, a friendly neighborhood with large lots, privacy, and an Old Florida feel. Relax in the spacious living room, or birdwatch from the comfortable lanai overlooking the bayou. This convenient, ground-level house has a master suite with a king bed and private bath, plus two bedrooms and a bath in a separate wing of the house.
Activities to enjoy on Sanibel include bicycling to nearby Ding Darling Wildlife Refuge, visiting the historic lighthouse, the Sunday Farmers’ Market, art galleries, craft fairs, trying your hand at Sanibel’s famous shell collecting, taking canoe and bike trails, and seeking the elusive green flash over the Gulf of Mexico at sunset.
You can’t ask for a quieter, more private location for a relaxing Sanibel visit, with convenient access to one of the most beautiful beaches you will ever find!
Birdwatching from the house just keeps getting better! Just a few weeks ago, we had dozens of great egrets, snowy egrets, ibises, roseate spoonbills, and wood storks in the bayou just behind the house.
Amenities include a large-screen cable TV, wireless high-speed Internet, washer/dryer, dishwasher, microwave, toaster oven, air fryer, linens, beach chairs, and a gas barbecue.
Guests are welcome to use the three kayaks and the bikes (two colorful, fun cruiser bikes and one tuned-up 10-speed).

About the host
Hosted by Betsy Tobin
My name is Betsy Tobin and I live in Boulder, Colorado where I have small theatre company called Now Or Never Theatre. I inherited this wonderful house from my mother. She spent her last years among good friends in Chateaux-sur-Mer between the pool and the beach, swimming, walking, and watching the birds and dolphins.
Our house filled with 4.5 feet of water during the storm surge from Hurricane Ian in September 2022. This led to a full remodel. The house is beautiful with updated appliances and two wings to accommodate friends and family.
Why they chose this property
The house was purchased by our late mother, Barbara, and she loved the tranquility and natural surroundings of the house.
What makes this property unique
A wonderful location near the beach, privacy, and a relaxed, comfortable feel. Right along the bayou, it provides great views of the birds and sunsets through the mangroves. The beautiful private beach is often empty.
