1299 Middle Gulf Dr

Compass Point is a low-rise Gulf-front condominium complex on Sanibel Island completed in 1979. The property is three stories tall with a limited number of residences per building, most configured as two-bedroom plans with occasional dens or three-bedroom layouts and private cabanas beneath select units. Architecturally the development reads as classic coastal mid-century construction updated over time with impact-resistant sliders, screened lanais, and metal or fabric outdoor shades. Interiors commonly feature open living/dining plans, breakfast bars, tray ceilings, walk-in closets, dual sinks in primary baths, built-in cabinetry, and in-unit laundry; many units include upgraded kitchens with granite counters and stainless appliances as well as jetted tubs or separate showers. Exterior components emphasize beach access and outdoor living: private cabanas with A/C and baths, covered parking directly under units, exterior storage closets, outdoor showers, decks/patios, and direct boardwalks to the sand. Shared amenities on-site include a heated swimming pool, tennis courts, shuffleboard/pickleball/half-court activities, BBQ grills, landscaped green space, and property management services that support a weekly rental program. The complex sits on Sanibel’s east end, offering immediate Gulf views, easy off-island access, proximity to island restaurants and shops, and a neighborhood oriented toward seasonal vacation rental income and relaxed beachfront living. Pet policies, exact parking assignments, and rental rules vary by unit and are typically governed by the association.
