Description
Welcome to a rare and enchanting retreat tucked away in Tigua Cay, an intimate Gulf-front community of just four residences on Sanibel’s quiet East End. With a sparkling community pool and miles of shell-laden shoreline just steps away, this is island living at its most peaceful and picturesque. This two-story townhouse offers direct Gulf views and a layout made for relaxed coastal living. The main level features two guest bedrooms, each with its own bath, a beautifully updated kitchen with crisp white cabinetry and stainless-steel appliances, and an open dining and living space that flows effortlessly onto a screened-in porch with panoramic views of the water. A laundry area and half bath complete the main floor. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite is a true sanctuary. Wake up to breathtaking Gulf views from your bed, enjoy a morning coffee on the private screened balcony, or soak up the sun on your open-air deck—perfect for lounging and taking in the beauty of the island. The suite also features a spa-inspired bath, walk-in closet, and a cozy loft space ideal for reading, working, or overflow guests. Whether you're beachcombing for shells, taking a dip in the pool, or simply soaking in the views, life at Tigua Cay offers the perfect blend of luxury and laid-back island charm.

1% Total Commission On The Sale Of Your Home
Everything a full-service brokerage does to make your home stand out — for a 1% commission.
1
Photo Enhancement
Professional editing brings every photo to life — balanced exposure, corrected color, bright skies, and rich, true-to-life detail, finished to a magazine standard. Those first images decide whether a buyer clicks through or scrolls past. We make sure yours stop the scroll.
2
Drone Photography
Aerial photography captures the lot, the rooflines, the water or golf views, and the surrounding neighborhood. For waterfront, golf course, and acreage properties, drone imagery is often the deciding factor — showcasing proximity to the Gulf, canal access, or a private setting in a single frame.
3
Virtual Staging
Empty rooms are digitally furnished with tasteful, realistic furniture and decor, helping buyers picture themselves in the space. Staged homes consistently sell faster and for more, and virtual staging delivers that advantage at a fraction of the cost of physical staging. We tailor each room to the buyer most likely to purchase.
4
3D Virtual Tours
Immersive, interactive walkthroughs let buyers explore every room on their own time, from anywhere in the country. With a true sense of layout, flow, and scale, a 3D tour pre-qualifies interest. For our many Northeast clients moving to Southwest Florida, it's often the tool that lets them decide on a home they've never set foot in.
5
Cinematic Storytelling
Professionally produced video tours walk buyers through the home and the lifestyle around it. We craft each video as a story — pacing the reveal of key spaces, highlighting the features buyers care about most, and capturing the feel of the home. This is the content that gets shared, saved, and remembered, extending your listing's reach far beyond the MLS.
6
Luxury Presentation
Your home is presented with the polish high-end buyers expect — refined layouts, premium imagery, and placement built to stand out. From the headline copy to the order of the photos, every detail is intentional, designed to communicate value and justify your asking price. For luxury and estate properties we expand into print exposure, magazine features, and dedicated campaigns.
