This fully reimagined and luxuriously updated 3-bedroom, 2-bath home in The Dunes blends refined design, modern infrastructure, and an effortless coastal lifestyle. Set on a premium southwest-facing lot along the 1st fairway – the closest home to The Dunes Golf & Tennis Club—it captures sweeping lake and fairway views that glow with spectacular sunsets – an everyday show that never repeats. With only one neighboring home and a backdrop of water, greens, and glowing skies, it offers both privacy and the kind of light-filled serenity that defines Sanibel living.
Inside, the home lives like new construction. Every system and surface has been renewed – featuring all-new electrical and plumbing systems, an elevated HVAC installation, and impact-rated doors and windows. The open floor plan showcases wood-look tile throughout, a custom wet bar with wine fridge and ice maker, and a gourmet kitchen with quartz counters, custom cabinetry, stainless-steel appliances, and a chef’s 36" range. The spa-inspired primary suite includes a frameless glass shower and a separate jetted soaking tub.
Engineered for resilience as well as comfort, the home sits on a certified 6.4-foot lot elevation and includes a 45" Watergate flood-barrier system and whole-home backwater valve for superior surge and backflow protection. These advanced features provide rare peace of mind and long-term durability uncommon among ground-level island residences.
Tastefully staged and showing beautifully, 951 Sand Castle Rd delivers the best of Sanibel’s coastal lifestyle—where craftsmanship, confidence, and convenience converge on one of The Dunes’ most sought-after lots.
