on the tranquil shores of sanibel island lies a private enclave few even know exists, a secluded “island within an island” known as kinzie island. tucked behind a gated, bridged entrance and laced with serene canals, this intimate community of just 22distinguished residences offers a rare blend of exclusivity, coastal beauty, and effortless luxury. just moments from the powder-soft, shell-strewn beaches that have made sanibel world-famous, this canal-front residence captures the essence of refined island living. a private dock and boat lift extend your backyard into open water, inviting spontaneous sunset cruises, fishing excursions, or leisurely days exploring the gulf. inside, the home unfolds with warmth and intention. the kitchen serves as both centerpiece and gathering place, anchored by a professional-grade gas range and an expansive island wrapped in rich butcher-block accents. here, culinary creativity meets conversation, a space equally suited for elegant dinner parties and relaxed mornings with coffee and sea breezes drifting through open doors. the adjacent dining room adds a layer of ambiance, where a statement fireplace cast s a welcoming glow, turning everyday meals into memorable evenings. throughout the home, design and livability move in harmony, beautiful yet unpretentious, polished yet comfortable. outdoor living is woven into every level. sip morning coffee from the welcoming front balcony, host sunset cocktails on the spacious screened lanai overlooking the canal, or retreat to the third-floor sundeck where sunshine and salty air become part of your daily rhythm. lush tropical landscaping provides a natural curtain of privacy, enhancing the sense that this is your own secluded retreat. yet the lifestyle extends far beyond your front door. residents enjoy access to an impressive collection of resort-style amenities designed for both recreation and connection: a heated lap pool for morning swims, clay tennis court, pickleball and bocce courts, and classic shuffleboard for leisurely afternoons. just across the street, an exceptional private beach club elevates the experience even further, offering a fitness center, convenient beach storage, restrooms, and a dedicated path leading directly to the shoreline. it's a seamless transition from home to sand; no crowds, no hassle, just the rhythm of waves and the sweep of open horizon. this is more than a residence. it is a sanctuary shaped by water, wrapped in privacy, and defined by a level of coastal living rarely found and even more rarely available.
