Typically these homes have three bedrooms with two baths. Of course they are available with two to over five bedrooms with as many baths. Lot size can vary dramatically but tend to range from about 12,500 to 20,000 square feet in size.

Sanibel locations can be categorized in a manner similar to condominiums: Gulf/Bay Front, Canal/Bayou/Sound - Direct Access Homes, Canal Homes - Limited Access (must pass under a bridge), Inland, Duplexes/Multi-Family. Captiva homes are somewhat similarly categorized; a significant distinction being if they are part of South Seas.

Most Sanibel homes are just under 2,000 square feet of interior, air-conditioned space. "Under air" is a frequently used term used to describe the "living area." "Total area" can include porches, decks, space under elevated homes used for storage and parking.

Sanibel has three golf course communities: The Dunes and Beachview Golf and Country Clubs, with 18 hole courses are semi-private. The Sanctuary on Wulfert Point is built at the northwest tip of Sanibel. It is a private, 18 hole golf course community. Captiva's golfing facility is at the northernmost part of the island within South Seas Plantation. This 9 hole facility is located at water's edge.

CONDOMINIUM AND HOMEOWNER'S ASSOCIATIONS

The significant difference between the two types of associations is the form of ownership. Condo owners have individual ownership interest in the interior of their property and share in the ownership interest of "common areas" (e.g. structures, land area and common amenities.) Association fees may include insurance, landscaping and exterior upkeep maintenance costs, etc.

Owners in homeowner's associations own interest in their entire structure (interior, exterior and land) and are (normally) responsible for the upkeep of same. They share ownership and expenses in only common facilities or areas, if they exist in that particular association. These common facilities may include pools, and /or tennis courts, guardhouses, gates and some small parcels of green space. Dues are used for the upkeep of these facilities. Most of these are owned as a primary or secondary home, a few are used as vacation rental properties.
