Summary:
Welcome to The Colonel's Cottage- This modern and spacious beach home is tucked away in the quiet residential community of Gulf Pines, featuring access to fantastic amenities such as pool, tennis courts, BBQ and picnic areas. Surrounded by lush vegetation and located just a few minutes away from the private beach access, guests will enjoy an immediate sense of calm and serenity when stepping outside. Featuring 2 spacious bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a large open concept living and dining area with ample seating and coastal décor throughout, this home is your ideal Sanibel Island retreat.

The Space:
The Colonel's Cottage is a beautiful Sanibel Island home, reminiscent of old-time Sanibel on the outside but fantastically updated on the inside. The home boasts 2 spacious bedrooms, 2 renovated bathrooms, a large living area with a sleeper sofa for extra guests and ample seating throughout, a well-stocked modern kitchen with island, complete with a desk perfect for those that need to plug in and work during their stay

The master bedroom is outfitted with a king bed with a comfy mattress and an en-suite bathroom with a shower tub combo. The guest bedroom features a comfy queen bed and there is a pullout sofa in the living room for extra guests. The guest bathroom also features a shower tub combination.

The kitchen is well-appointed with everything you will need to cook in and has plenty of storage space throughout. There's seating at the modern kitchen island as well as the dining table conveniently located next to the kitchen area, making the dining experience easy and pleasant for the whole family.

The home is situated directly across from the primary beach access in the Gulf Pines community, making your walk to the beach an extremely short one. It is also situated just a 1-2 minute walk away from the Gulf Pines community amenities, including pool and tennis, making this home a perfect fit for those that prefer the pool to beaches. Because Gulf Pines is a primarily residential community with few rental homes, guests will find themselves ensconced in old-time Sanibel vibes without the hustle and bustle of seasonal tourism.

Lastly, there is an expansive patio overlooking the side of the home and beautiful yard, filled with native flora. The patio has ample seating and an outdoor fridge perfect for storing cold beverages. There is beach gear on the patio, including Tommy Bahama chairs and umbrella.

Pet fee of $100 per pet, please contact us to arrange to make the pet fee payment.
