About this home

Coastal living with strength and style at Sunset South. Welcome to 1341 Middle Gulf Drive #12C on Sanibel Island. This beautifully remodeled top-floor corner condo is located within the exclusive Sunset South community, a 56-residence beachfront enclave offering a beachside pool, community clubhouse, and a private beach walk to Sanibel’s shell-lined shores. A rare feature, building 12 is one of only five buildings with a private elevator, providing direct access from the garage to the residence. Additional highlights include an under-building garage with a hurricane-rated door and a large private storage unit. Inside, the open living and dining area flows to an oversized screened lanai with Gulf views. The updated kitchen features navy cabinetry, ample quartz countertop space with a breakfast bar, stainless steel appliances, and generous storage. Plank tile flooring runs throughout the home, and the condo includes in-residence laundry with a ventless washer-dryer combo. The primary suite enjoys a partial western Gulf view and features a walk-in closet and a remodeled bath with dual sink vanity and a tiled walk-in shower. The guest bath includes a subway-tiled tub and shower. The residence is being offered furnished. Sunset South has completed a multi-million-dollar renovation following Hurricane Ian, including new 50-year metal roofs, hurricane-rated windows and doors along with electric lanai shutters, upgraded garages and storage areas, improved drainage and landscaping, and modernized building systems. Elevators are also being upgraded with new hydraulics. This is a rare opportunity to own a fully updated beachfront condo that blends quality construction, resilience, and the relaxed Sanibel lifestyle.
