Near Beach | "Old Florida" Beach Cottage | Heated pool
Not for everyone, but perfect for some.
Shellbox Cottage has the best of two worlds in paradise -- your own free standing cottage (not a duplex) yet a member of a small, well run HOA with a heated (quiet) pool with tennis/pickle-ball all on four oasis-like acres of gracious, lush grounds dotted with mature tropical plantings and only a 2-minute bike ride to the beach.
OLD FLORIDA
One of the few remaining classic Sanibel Island beach cottages, you could walk into Shellbox Cottage tomorrow and make this bright and fresh home yours, or continue its strong rental record with lifestyle approach that has appealed to those looking for a piece of disappearing "Old Florida".
HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE
Moved from the Gulf in the 1960's, this charmingly authentic beach cottage experience was built by the "woman who named Periwinkle", Priscilla Murphy, the islands' 1st real estate agent.
COTTAGE CHARM
The owners have carefully & deliberately maintained her vision and mid-century modern vibe, with restored/real wood floors, blinds, stairs ceilings and shiplap walls.
BONUS LOFT
The bedroom and ensuite master bath are on the 1st floor with another bath in the main space. The loft is a bonus space, up small wooden spiral like steps (think ship), which works as a guest room for the owners but could also be an office or media room.
ENJOY WARM FLORIDA WEATHER
Start your day with the dip in the heated community pool, just a short distance from the home. The screened porch will be your favorite place to kick back and relax at the end of the day.
SHORT DISTANCE TO BEACH
Donax Street intersects at Periwinkle Way and Middle Gulf Drive with easy access to the Causeway. Donax Village includes tennis courts, a community pool, grilling area and deeded beach access.
