About The Dunes Community on Sanibel Island
The Dunes Golf & Tennis Club represents premier island living on Sanibel, Florida. This expansive 333-acre master-planned community, developed in 1981, offers 377 residences ranging from single-family homes to duplexes artfully arranged around a stunning 18-hole championship golf course. The course, designed by Mark McCumber, winds through a wildlife preserve recognized by the Audubon Cooperative Society, providing residents with daily encounters with native birds like bald eagles and osprey.
Lifestyle here emphasizes a perfect blend of active recreation and serene natural surroundings. Optional club memberships provide access to world-class amenities without obligation, allowing owners to tailor their experience. The community sits conveniently near the Sanibel Causeway for quick trips to the mainland while feeling worlds away in its private retreat setting.
Homes feature tropical architecture suited to the island environment, with many offering golf course, lake, or preserve views. The overall atmosphere fosters a close-knit yet exclusive feel, popular among those seeking both relaxation and sporting opportunities. Deeded beach access adds to the appeal for those who cherish Sanibel's renowned shelling beaches.
Notable for being the island's largest residential enclave, The Dunes combines championship facilities with low-density living and environmental stewardship, creating an unparalleled Sanibel lifestyle.
