Sanibel Island is a Barrier Island off the
Southwest Coast of Florida. It is just over 17 square miles and has
a full-time population of 6,000+ residents. Almost 70% of the Island
is protected wildlife conservation land. This partnership between
public and private land is a testimony to the fact that progress and
conservation can work together. With the nearly 100% effort of the
residents to preserve the remaining land with only native plants
this makes Sanibel one of the few remaining areas in Florida that
can truly boast that they are “Old Florida” at its best. Because of
the limited land area available for development you can rest assured
that an investment on Sanibel will always maintain its value. We
recommend that you buy real estate on Sanibel Island.
Captiva Island was originally part of
neighboring Sanibel Island. It has a colored history of pirates,
beautiful women captives and hidden treasure. It is believed that
Captiva became separated from Sanibel at Blind Pass by a Hurricane.
The Island is 6 miles long and approximately 1/3 mile wide at the
widest part and has a population of 500+ full-time residents. You
will discover secluded and extremely private single-family homes
along with shops, condos and resorts. The limited number of
residences make it more difficult to find a home for sale on Captiva
Island and the homes do not remain on the real estate market for
long, so if you are interested in Captiva Island Real Estate you
need to be prepared to buy quickly.
Some people think of the Islands as vacation
destinations while others look at them as retirement destinations.
However, there are abundant business opportunities as well. Outdoor
activities abound on these wonderful Islands: shelling, boating,
golfing, swimming, snorkeling, fishing, bicycling, star gazing, and
hiking are just a few of the activities that can be found in your
back yard. Sanibel boasts of one of the largest wildlife preserves
in America, the JN "Ding" Darling National Wildlife Refuge. It is
truly one of the great spots to observe the natural habitat of the
Islands.
