SeaShells Unit 40 – Island Getaway with Pool, Pickleball & Beach Access
Welcome to Seashells of Sanibel #40— Crooked Palm—a bright and refreshing island retreat where every detail is designed to help you slow down, breathe deeply, and let the rhythm of the Gulf create the vibe. Completely renovated from top to bottom by owners who know the island, this elevated first-floor condo blends sunwashed colors, natural textures, and modern comfort, creating a sanctuary that feels both uplifting and effortlessly relaxed. Just like the “crooked palm” tree in front of the lanai that inspired its name, this home invites you to lean into the breeze, unwind, and enjoy the island at your own pace.
Step into the spacious living room, where plush seating and a 65" smart TV set the scene for cozy movie nights, your favorite sports, or quiet afternoons after a day in the sun. The thoughtfully prepared kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need for quick breakfasts, fresh seafood dinners, or lazy lunches shared with family and friends. Whether you're cooking or simply pouring a sunset cocktail, the space is designed to make life feel uncomplicated and enjoyable.
In the primary suite, a king bed and beautifully tiled en suite shower await. The guest bedroom features two twin beds and a dedicated workspace—an ideal setup for families, visiting friends, or remote workdays where you still want to feel close to vacation. Both bedrooms feature smart TVs so everyone can enjoy themselves. An in-unit washer and dryer allows you to pack light and keep beach days carefree.
Slide open the doors to your private lanai and enjoy morning coffee as palm fronds sway gently overhead, offering the kind of peaceful, breezy calm for which Sanibel is known. Crooked Palm isn’t just a name—it’s a feeling that follows you from the moment you arrive to the moment you reluctantly pack up to leave.
Beyond your door, resort-style amenities await. Enjoy a heated swimming pool, tennis and pickleball courts, a barbecue area for evening cookouts, and private beach access just with a short walk to Sanibel’s famous coastline. Beach chairs, tote wagon, umbrella, cooler, pool toys, and games are provided—so the only thing you need to bring is your sense of adventure.
Sanibel’s magic spreads across 23 miles. Enjoy scenic trails, world-class shelling, sailing adventures, fishing, golf courses, birdwatching, and wildlife encounters. After exploring the island’s treasures, return to your cozy, cheerful sanctuary where time slows, and the island breeze keeps you grounded. Crooked Palm Unit 40 offers the perfect balance of comfort, charm, and island ease. Unpack, relax, and let Sanibel do the rest.
