🌴 Inside Sundial Beach Resort & Spa: Sanibel Island’s Ultimate Beachfront Getaway

If you’ve ever dreamed of owning a beachfront condo on Sanibel Island, few places capture the spirit of island living like Sundial Beach Resort & Spa. It’s where soft white sand meets investment opportunity—a place where you can sip a cocktail by the pool, rent out your unit for income, or do both.

In this video, I take you on a full tour of Sundial Beach Resort & Spa, including a beautifully renovated two-bedroom, two-bath Gulf-view condo with direct beach access. You’ll see why this resort continues to be one of the most desirable destinations for vacationers, snowbirds, and real-estate investors alike.


🏖 About Sundial Beach Resort & Spa

Located at 1501 Middle Gulf Drive, Sundial is more than just a resort—it’s a lifestyle. The property spans several beachfront acres with five heated pools, tennis and pickleball courts, kayak and paddleboard rentals, and a full-service spa and fitness center.

Guests and owners also enjoy concierge services, event coordination, and business facilities, making it ideal for both leisure and corporate retreats. Owners have flexibility, too—you can join the resort’s rental program for a hands-off experience or self-manage your unit on Airbnb or VRBO.

🍹 Dining & Entertainment

  • Captain’s Catch – Award-winning seafood and sunset views.
  • Shima Japanese Steakhouse & Sushi Bar – Hibachi dining by the pool.
  • Turtle’s Tiki Bar – Your go-to spot for burgers, cocktails, and live music.
  • Beach Bites – Family-friendly fare like tacos, pizza, and ice cream.
  • Kay Casperson Spa & Boutique – For those “treat yourself” moments.

Every bite and every view reminds you that this is island living at its best.

🏡 The Featured Condo

This ground-floor two-bedroom, two-bath condo in Building J offers walk-out beach access and partial Gulf views. The home has been completely updated with:

  • Impact-resistant windows and doors
  • Modern tile floors
  • Quartz countertops and stainless appliances
  • Fully remodeled bathrooms (one with soaking tub, one with walk-in shower)

Enjoy your morning coffee on the screened lanai while listening to the waves—or an evening drink watching the sunset. It’s the perfect balance of coastal charm and modern comfort.

💰 Rental Income Potential

Sundial is one of the few resorts on Sanibel that allows one-day minimum rentals, giving owners impressive occupancy rates. Whether you prefer resort-managed convenience or full control through your own rental platform, the income potential is exceptional.

Many owners cover their expenses (and then some) while enjoying their property throughout the year—a true vacation home that pays for itself.

📈 Market Snapshot

Sanibel Island has seen a strong recovery and renewed buyer demand post-Hurricane Ian. Typical Sundial condos now list around $950,000 to $1 million, depending on view and condition. With the resort’s continued improvements, appreciation looks promising.

Owning here isn’t just buying a condo—it’s buying into a legacy destination that balances lifestyle and long-term value.

🐚 Life on Sanibel Island

Beyond Sundial, you’ll find a community rich in natural beauty and small-town charm. Sanibel is famous for its shelling beaches, wildlife preserves, bike trails, and local restaurants that showcase fresh Gulf seafood. It’s the kind of place where every day feels like a vacation, even when you live here full-time.
