Yacht Haven Condos for Sale on Sanibel Island

Yacht Haven condos for sale on Sanibel Island offer ultra-low density bayfront living on the East End with boat dockage, direct Gulf access, and just five residences in a quiet waterfront setting.

Yacht Haven Overview

Yacht Haven is a bayfront condominium community located on Sextant Drive on the east end of Sanibel Island. The development consists of only 5 units, making it one of the smallest and most exclusive waterfront condo communities on the island.

Built in the mid-1980s, the property is positioned along San Carlos Bay with direct boating access to the Gulf of Mexico.

Unlike Gulf-front communities, Yacht Haven offers a boating-focused lifestyle with water views, dockage, and quick access to open water. Its East End location provides one of the most convenient settings for getting on and off the island.

Yacht Haven Real Estate

Condos in Yacht Haven are designed in a townhouse-style layout, typically featuring three-bedroom floor plans with spacious interiors. Units can exceed 2,000 square feet, offering a more residential feel than many Sanibel condos.

These residences include open living areas, large lanais, and direct water views overlooking the bay. The design emphasizes space, functionality, and boating access rather than resort-style living.

With only five total units, opportunities to purchase in Yacht Haven are extremely limited.
