About this home

Bring your bathing suit, your toothbrush, your family and friends — everything else is ready for you to kick off the best vacation! Imagine waking up to the sound of waves, pouring your morning coffee, and stepping out onto your wraparound porch as the sun sparkles across the Gulf of America — this is your new smokin’ hot slice of paradise! Located in the absolute prime East End of the island, with easy access on and off, this Surfside 12-unit has been completely remodeled from top to bottom and is offered turnkey with all the bells and whistles! Step inside and you’ll immediately notice how perfectly the interior and exterior flow together. Large sliders in every room open onto the wraparound porch, filling the space with natural light and breezes and making indoor-outdoor living effortless. The kitchen is a chef’s dream, featuring quartz countertops, a pantry, and deep drawers designed for appliances and oversized pots and pans. Brand-new GE appliances — including a French door refrigerator, range, and low-profile microwave — make cooking for a crowd easy and fun. Beautifully designed bathrooms and stylish coastal décor create a bright, cheerful atmosphere that instantly puts you in vacation mode. And the best part? It’s completely turnkey. All furnishings, décor, linens, appliances, dishes, flatware, pots and pans are brand new as of 2026! Simply unlock the door and start making memories. This unit also offers covered parking for two vehicles and a huge storage closet under the building for all your beach gear, bikes, paddleboards, and more. The building and unit have been completely reconstructed and reinforced with a brand-new roof, impact doors and windows, all new plumbing and electrical, HVAC, and water heater ensuring a safe, secure, and worry-free home you can enjoy year-round. Set within a low-density 12-unit Gulf-front community, you’ll enjoy private beach access, tennis courts, and a resort-style pool with outdoor showers and a grill area — perfect for sunset cookouts after a long day on the sand. Spend your mornings shelling on the beach, your afternoons by the pool, and your evenings watching the sky turn pink over the water. Hop on your bikes right from your backyard and cruise the island path to breakfast at Lighthouse Cafe, browse the shops and farmer’s market, catch a show at BIG ARTS, or explore the wildlife at J.N. Ding Darling National Wildlife Refuge on your way to Captiva Island. This isn’t just a condo — it’s your family’s new favorite place for spring breaks, holidays, and unforgettable beachside memories!
