A low-rise resort condominium complex built in 1979, Sundial East is a four-story, walk-up and elevator-served structure that forms part of the larger Sundial Beach Resort on Sanibel Island. Units are predominantly two-bedroom floorplans with flexible dens that frequently function as third sleeping areas; interiors commonly feature tile floors, open living/dining plans, breakfast bars, built-in cabinetry, tray ceilings, and screened lanais or balconies with gulf or courtyard sightlines. The property’s exterior and grounds emphasize resort-style recreation: multiple swimming pools, tennis and pickleball courts, landscaped courtyards, water features, outdoor kitchens/grills, storage rooms, covered parking, and assigned under-building spaces. Buildings incorporate hurricane-impact openings and a mix of manual and electric shutters; exterior storage and on-site maintenance support seasonal rental use. Common areas include small lobby/reception amenities tied into the wider resort, an on-site management office, and proximity to retail, restaurants, bike and beach rental services within the Sundial amenities center. Pet allowances are limited and typically owner-restricted; units often convey furnished and turnkey for vacation rental operation. The setting is beachfront with direct or short-access beach paths and a community oriented toward active outdoor leisure and seasonal rental income.
