1919 Olde Middle Gulf Dr

Sandpiper Beach is a low-rise, Gulf-front condominium complex on Sanibel Island composed of five two-story buildings built in 1979 and set across roughly 13 acres of lush tropical landscaping. The community totals 27 residences, each primarily two-bedroom floor plans with vaulted or cathedral ceiling options in some upper units. Architecture is modest beach-resort vernacular: wide lanais or screened balconies facing the Gulf, covered parking beneath portions of the buildings, and exterior storage rooms for resident equipment. Interiors commonly feature open living/dining flows, eat-in kitchens with breakfast bars, vaulted or tray ceilings, walk-in closets, dual sinks in primary baths, and a mix of tile and carpeting; recent renovations in many units include granite or quartz counters, updated cabinetry, stainless appliances, impact-rated sliding glass doors, and new HVAC and water-heating systems. Shared site amenities emphasize relaxed beachfront living: direct private beach access with a boardwalk, a heated community pool, BBQ/grilling stations, tennis and shuffleboard courts, outdoor showers, and walking paths through preserved grounds. The small scale yields a secluded, low-density environment sheltered on one side by protected preserve land. Owners receive an assigned under-building parking space and a sizable storage locker. Rentals are permitted on a weekly basis, and the association has invested in property-wide improvements such as new roofs, impact windows, and storm shutters, while maintaining active grounds and security measures appropriate for an island condominium.
