White Sands condominium is located on West Gulf Drive in the middle of Sanibel Island, Florida, close to Tarpon Bay Road. White Sands is an exclusive condominium complex with only 14 units sitting on three beautiful private acres directly on the Gulf of Mexico. Guests at White Sands enjoy the use of our large private heated pool, private tennis court, and gas grills that are on the property, as well as the the incredible white sand beaches that Sanibel is known for.
This condo is our family vacation home on Sanibel Island, Florida and we offer it for rent to others. It is a direct Gulf front condo in a small complex with only 13 other condos, so it is very exclusive and private. Our condo has 2 full bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, and a den with quality sleeper sofa that makes sleeping six very comfortable. We continually upgrade the unit to keep it nice for our family and guests. You can e-mail us at dculstad@aol.com or call us at (614) 792-2593 to check availability or make a reservation. The rental rate varies by season, and discounts are available for multi-week rentals or last minute rentals. Call or e-mail for current rates.
Our condo is a direct Gulf front unit. The view from our unit is direct out to the Gulf, overlooking beautiful natural vegetation of seagrapes, sea oats, and palms. Our primary view is over the vegetation and beach straight out to the Gulf, where warm waters wash up on Sanibel's 15.5 miles of beautiful beach.
Sanibel Island is a great place for a beach vacation. The beaches are wide and natural, and they are sprinkled with seashells that Sanibel is known for worldwide. While looking for unique shells you can walk 14 miles of uninterrupted Gulf of Mexico beach. The warm gulf waters are seldom rough, and the water depth increases gradually from the beach providing a large swimming area and discouraging boats from coming in too close to swimmers. There are no undertow's or riptides to worry about in these calm Gulf waters.
Besides the beach, take advantage of White Sands private tennis court and heated pool. There is little chance of them ever being crowded since you're only sharing them with the 13 other condos in White Sands! Explore the island on the 23 miles of bike paths, part of which is right infront of White Sands. We generally have bikes for your use in the ground floor storage unit for our condo.

Sanibel is a coastal barrier island, located just off the coast of Fort Myers, Florida. There are many things that make Sanibel unique and reminiscent of old Florida - there are no traffic lights, neon lights, or tall buildings on the island. The formation of the J.N. "Ding" Darling Wildlife refuge over half a century ago set the stage for the stringent building and zoning codes that have allowed the island to develop with modern conveniences while preserving a very natural appearance.
The Fort Myers airport is less than an hour away, and it is serviced by many major airlines. The Cape Coral airport is another 20 minutes further and is served by some additional airlines.
