About this property

The Tropical Penthouse, Our Beautiful Family Home, Newly Remodeled 2024

  • Our Tropical Penthouse is at the end of the second building and affords that extra peace and quiet that you search for when you want to get away from all of the hustle & bustle.

    We are located on the third floor and occupy a portion of the fourth floor, due to our soaring ceilings, which allow for a more open feeling. There are only a few of these unique penthouses on the entire island! (Actually, there are no high-rise buildings on Sanibel, but these units are fondly referred to as ''penthouses''). The 1,385 square feet are all on a single floor. My condo number is #283 in Loggerhead Cay.

    Take the stairs or elevator outside, stroll through the courtyard, pass one of the largest pools on the island (heated), and within a couple of minutes, you will find yourself on the world-renown shelling beach, gazing at the aqua waters with nothing between you and Mexico. Your only decision now is whether to sunbathe, swim or walk--without a care in the world.

    NOTE: THE PRISTINE WHITE KITCHEN IS WIDE OPEN WITH A LARGE WHITE QUARTZ COUNTERTOP AND ALL UPGRADED KITCHEN APPLIANCES. IT WAS COMPLETELY REMODELED IN 2024. THE BATHROOMS HAVE PRISTINE WHITE PORCELAIN FLOORS. THE PLUMBING ACCESSORIES ARE OIL-RUBBED BRONZE. CHECK OUT THE A HAND-MADE VANITY FROM INDONESIA IN THE MASTER BATH. OUR TROPICAL DECOR THROUGHOUT DISPLAYS TREASURES THAT WE HAVE COLLECTED FROM OUR TRIPS AROUND THE WORLD. GUESTS TELL US THAT OUR CONDO IS MORE LIKE A HOME THAN A PLACE TO STAY.

    Features: VAULTED CEILINGS, Many Architectural Details, TROPICAL Decor, Glass-Enclosed LANAI with Sliders to capture Ocean Breezes. FULLY-Equipped Kitchen WITH UPGRADED APPLIANCES, NEW VERTICAL W/D. 2 Bedrooms, 2 Full REMODELED Baths, Beds: 1 Queen (Hand-carved), 2 FULL SIZED, Convertible Queen, 2 Dining Areas, Beach Chairs, Cable Satellite, 3 TVs COMCAST HD, DVR), 100s of Channels, 2 DVD PLAYERS, Stereo, CD Player, FREE SECURED WIFI, Outside Elevator.

    Unique Benefits of Our Family Home: Enjoy our DELUXE TROPICAL PENTHOUSE. NEWLY REMODELED. We have a private linen/towel service so that everything will be 'hospital-clean' for you. Established island management company attends to your needs. ALL you have to do is RELAX.

    From our ENCLOSED AND BEAUTIFULLY - FURNISHED LANAI, you can enjoy a quiet breakfast overlooking the well-manicured courtyard and watch the birds light on the palms, Bougainvillea plants, and lush foliage. And there is a distant view of the beach and ocean.

    Later you may want to walk, bike, or ride to local shops & restaurants. Or cross the bridge to find malls, larger grocery stores, movie complexes, and city conveniences.

    Family Memories at The Tropical Penthouse: Our family purchased this condo in 1974, and we kept it as our special family retreat, affording us an abundance of wonderful memories. We had fun redecorating several times, and always kept the tropical theme. We began to share our secret and to rent a few years ago.

    We love to swim out to the buoy, lounge on the beach and read books to each other, bird and people watch, and bike 27 miles on safe bike trails. We go to Captiva, have a Starbucks soy milk and bike back again. We kayak, dance and dine at elegant restaurants as well as eat out at the casual restaurants, shop at Periwinkle Place, eat homemade ice cream at Pinocchio's, watch a sunset on the beach, and take romantic walks. Sometimes we even relax and fall asleep on the beautifully hand-carved bed with the comfy mattress, while ocean breezes surround us. We breathe deeply and sleep soundly. We are in our Tropical Paradise!

    About Us: I was a ballerina and later had a career in sales/marketing for a fortune 500 company. My husband was a nuclear chemist. We are now both retired, and we return several times a year to enjoy our beautiful, tropical home. Although we have visited many resorts around the world, we have found that we love our Sanibel home the best! We hope that you will have a chance to enjoy our home and island as much as we do!

    We want you to feel like honored guests in our home. We will be available to help you as much as possible. But since we are a state away, we have employed a well-established management/rental company to have your keys waiting for you, to answer any questions, and to just be on hand to make sure that everything is running smoothly & that you having the perfect vacation at our special get-away

    Of course we love The Tropical Penthouse. It is our family home. But we hope that you will read our reviews to learn how much our other guests have loved our family retreat also.

The beach, Our Happy Place

My husband and I stayed here with my sister in law and her husband. The condo is tastefully decorated and had plenty of room. Our beds were comfortable! There were 4 beach chairs and it’s a short walk to the beach. We even enjoyed the pickleball courts.

Ideal vacation home base

June was such a wonderful, sweet host and her condo is beautiful! It has so much character, a sparkling newly renovated kitchen, blissful air conditioning, an amazing quiet location, and access to pool and beach right outside the door! My family and I really enjoyed every moment of our time and June was so helpful. I highly recommend Sanibel and if you can snag this spot, you'll be right at home. June's style is so fun and has so much more personality than most places. It's just the right size for 4 adults, and the facilities are unbeatable. We will look forward to coming back one day soon!

The kitchen has everything you need to bring your own food and cook it there which is nice during these covid times. The lanai was a great surprise. We loved having the glass doors open and enjoy the breeze as we enjoyed our meals. This is a very spacious 2 bedroom condo allowing us all to spread out. The walk to the beach was easy.

Paradise

A beautifully decorated condo with everything we needed. The owner, June, provided excellent assistance when we had to evacuate due to hurricane Milton, and when we were seeking to return. Took real personal interest in our situation and nothing was too much. A big thanks to Susan at Royal Shell who went above and beyond when we needed help to ensure a prompt return to Sanibel. All in all a great experience despite the worst Milton could throw at us.

The Smith Family Favorite Vacation Spot

What a Wonderful Trip we had last week at Sanibel-Capitiva Island!! Your Condo is Beautiful and was everything you said it would be!! We didn't want for anything because you had it all. Very Cozy and Confortable! The day we arrived my husband took a much needed catnap on the Lanai. June was so sweet and easy to talk with. We also recommend a trip with Captiva Cruises to Caya Costa Island. Well worth the money. The guides and staff were very nice and the island was so nice. Great Shelling in Crystal Clear waters and saw Dolphins on the way. Perfect Day and a Perfect Trip!!!
