The Sandarac Condos, a 9-story beachfront complex completed in 1976, offers 180 units of coastal living on Fort Myers Beach. Situated on the island, this condominium provides residents with direct access to the Gulf of Mexico's white sandy shores. The building's straightforward design, featuring balconies on each level, allows for optimal views of the surrounding coastal landscape. As part of the ongoing recovery efforts following Hurricane Ian, The Sandarac stands as a testament to the resilience of this tight-knit beach community.
Spacious two-bedroom units with Gulf views
The Sandarac Condos offers a range of two-bedroom, two-bathroom units, varying from 1,145 to 1,450 square feet. Prices for these residences span from $539,000 to $860,000, reflecting their prime beachfront location and recent renovations. Many units have undergone extensive remodeling, featuring open floor plans that maximize the Gulf views.
Kitchens typically boast granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and rich wood cabinetry. Living areas are designed for comfort and relaxation, while bedrooms are equipped with walk-in closets for ample storage. Bathrooms have been updated with modern vanities and walk-in showers. Throughout the units, elegant tile flooring adds to the coastal aesthetic.
A standout feature of many condos is the converted lanai, which has been incorporated into the main living space to create year-round, climate-controlled areas for enjoying the panoramic beach and ocean vistas. Large windows and sliding glass doors flood the interiors with natural light, while electric hurricane shutters provide peace of mind during storm seasons.
Resort-inspired amenities with a focus on outdoor living
The Sandarac Condos offers a range of amenities designed to enhance the beachfront lifestyle. At the heart of the complex is a heated swimming pool, providing residents with a refreshing alternative to the Gulf waters. The pool area is complemented by a spacious deck, perfect for sunbathing or socializing with neighbors.
For those who enjoy outdoor cooking, a barbecue area is available for resident use. The community room serves as a gathering space for social events and meetings, fostering a sense of community among residents.
