Arthur Frommer, the renowned founder of Frommer's Travel Guides, has ranked Sanibel Island #1 as his favorite place in the world to travel, describing Sanibel as, "Off the west coast of the Sunshine State, a few miles from Ft. Myers, is this idyllic haven of white-sand beaches, condos whose seafront apartments are available for weekly rentals, excellent restaurants, good shopping and most important, the Ding Darling Nature Preserve, visited by thousands of birds of every species, who bask in the sun after diving for fish, and are one of the great natural sights of wildlife in America."

Sanibel Island is an Island located on the Gulf coast of Florida, just offshore of Fort Myers. Located within Lee County, Sanibel is a barrier island – a collection of sand on the leeward side of the Gulf Stream from the more solid coral-rock of Pine Island.
The city of Sanibel incorporates the entire island, with most of the city proper at the east end of the island. After the Sanibel Causeway was built to replace the ferry in May 1963, the residents fought back against overdevelopment by establishing the Sanibel Comprehensive Land Use Plan in 1974 helping to maintain a balance between development and preservation of the island's ecology. A new, higher bridge without a bascule (drawbridge) having to open for tall boats and sailboats, was completed in late 2007.
Thanks in part to the new causeway, Sanibel is rapidly becoming a popular tourist destination known for its beaches, shelling, and wildlife refuges. More than half of the island is made up of wildlife refuges, the largest one is the J.N. Ding Darling National Wildlife Refuge. The Island also hosts the Sanibel Historical Village and a variety of other museums and theaters.

Sanibel is known for wildlife and sea shells. The larges wildlife refuge on the island is the J.N. "Ding" Darling National Wildlife Refuge, covering more than 5,200 acres. The refuge strives to ensure that these lands are preserved, restored and maintained as a haven for indigenous and migratory wildlife as part of a nation-wide network of Refuges administered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Currently the refuge provides a home for over 220 species of birds native to the island. Visitors to the refuge can walk, bike, drive, or kayak though the wildlife drive.
Sanibel beaches attract visitors from all around the world, partly because of the large quantities of shells that wash up there. One of the reasons for these accumulations of shells is the fact that Sanibel is a barrier island which has an east-west orientation when most islands are north-south. As a result, the great sandy beaches yield an abundance of shells. It is also due to the fact that Sanibel is part of a large plateau that extends out into the Gulf of Mexico for miles. It is this plateau that acts like a shelf for seashells to gather.

Sanibel Island Real Estate * The lighthouse on the point of Sanibel Island Florida.
Sanibel Island Florida. I was out showing property last week on Sanibel Island and I wanted to stop by the condo development I that lived a a while. in fact on vacation on sanibel island for over 10 years before buying a guld access waterfront home in Cape Coral Florida.
I know Sanibel Island very well after spending so many years on the island. The fishing, shelling dinning and the golf on the island. I am very knowledgeable about the island and my top suggestions for condo developments, single family waterfront homes and golf course living. There are also some foreclosures that have recently pop up on the market and are a very good deal considering the real estate market on Sanibel has really held its value compared to a lot of other cities in southwest Florida.
Before you start looking at property you should first search for a Buyers Agent that is going to help you with locating, scheduling, writing and negotiating in achieving your best price and terms for you and your family. The listing agent has a signed written contract with the Seller to work in the best interest of the Seller. It's important that you have a agent working for You. Here is a Buyers Agency Agreement

One of the prime locations is at the very south end of the island near the Sanibel Island Light House. The beach and the fishing pier are both a short distance out your back door! The view across the back bay to Fort Myers is always a great view of dolphins, wild life and all shapes, sizes ,and styles of boats heading out to the gulf of Mexico.
There are 3-4 real good condo developments I would suggest on the south end of Sanibel Island. Please call or email me for a complete list of condos for sale on the south end of the island.
I look forward to working with you.
