About this property
Whimsea: West End, Pets OK, Pool Home on Canal!
"Whimsea" has been beautifully updated and meticulously maintained. This charming Gulf access home is less than a mile from Blind Pass beach. The extensive gardens create a magnificent, private setting. The open floor plan creates a comfortable living area that leads to the spacious screened lanai. The dock and adjacent deck serve as a fabulous waterfront patio which provides amazing outdoor living space surrounded by native and tropical plantings, wildlife, and water views.
A kayak launch makes enjoying the canal and the bayou by water easy and convenient. An interior staircase leads to a walk-out to the pool area and access to abundant enclosed storage. Coastal decor and perfectly proportioned furnishings enhance the space both inside and out.
The location and setting are ideal for beach goers and outdoor enthusiasts alike. The beach is a short 15 minute walk down Sanibel-Captiva Road, or you can launch a kayak from the private dock or fish & explore the bayou and surrounding waterways. Birders and photographers will appreciate the proximity and accessibility to some of the area ’s premier birding & shelling beaches at Bowman's and Blind Pass. The private dock offers the rare ability to view both sunrises AND sunsets over the bayou!! This home is a rare beauty and a hidden gem that cannot be missed!
