With a SanCap Chamber ribbon-cutting at Sandalfoot Beachfront Condominium, 671 E. Gulf Drive on Sanibel Island March 27, the islands’ post-hurricane recovery experienced yet another boost. The condominium complex reopened in late December to start welcoming holiday guests.
Of its 60 units, about 50 have reopened, with the rest expected soon. All amenities have returned, including the beach, shuffleboard, tennis, pickleball, and the swimming pool.
“Guests can expect completely rebuilt and refurbished units with new kitchens, new bathrooms, and fully updated mechanical and electrical services,” said Chuck DePree, president of Sandalfoot Condo Association. “The boardwalk has been extended and widened, pickleball courts have been added, and the landscape is completely redone and is spectacular.”
“A longstanding part of the island coastal landscape since the 1970s, Sandalfoot has made a fantastic comeback,” said SanCap Chamber president and chief executive officer John Lai. “It means another big step in restoring our crucial and legendary resort scene.”
DePree credits the spirit of Sanibel and chamber’s energy for fueling the rebuild.
Our owners and board genuinely appreciate the willingness of the chamber to highlight and support our reopening,” he said. “Its foresight and organization were key to our ability to let the world know we are back!”
