Welcome to 1126 Harbour Cottage Court, one of only four single-family homes in the highly sought-after Harbour Cottages community on Sanibel's prized east end. Ideally located for both convenience and boating, this home offers quick access to the causeway and direct Gulf access with no bridges. While others inch along Periwinkle Way in heavy traffic, Harbour Cottage owners can be on the causeway instantly. For boaters, it gets even better: the seawall, dock, and boat lift have all been replaced in the past six years, so the waterfront setup is ready to go. Light, bright & thoughtfully designed, the home features a classic split-bedroom floor plan that offers both comfort and privacy. Pocket doors separate bedroom areas to keep noise at a minimum. The main level includes three bedrooms, an office, and a screened lanai-perfect for everyday living, hosting guests, and simply enjoying the island breeze and watching dolphins play in the canal. The interior is welcoming and well-maintained with vaulted ceilings and tile floors. Quartz countertops highlight the kitchen and bar areas. The floor plan flows naturally and offers plenty of natural light. On the exterior, impact-resistant doors and windows, much Hardie board siding, a three-year-old metal roof, and a newly redesigned pool cage add value and peace of mind in inclement weather. With no neighbors across the street and lush landscaping for privacy, the setting feels peaceful and secluded while still being close to everything. Beaches on both sides of the island are very close & the island is well known for its many bike/walking paths. Neighborhood amenities, including tennis, pickleball, an outdoor grill, and a heated pool, encourage a sense of community. Single-family homes with such advantages are rare. This is your chance to embrace the ultimate island lifestyle.
