The Sanibel Harbour Towers could be considered the gateway to Sanibel and Captiva Islands. Situated close to the causeway and adjacent to the Sanibel Harbour Marriott Resort & Spa, these twin condominium towers are the perfect location for beachgoers, boaters, and other water sport afficionados.
The condominium towers’ construction was completed in 1985. Located on an 88-acre peninsula in the Punta Rassa neighborhood of South Fort Myers, this was one of the first areas in southwest Florida to be developed, and ultimately a vacation and snowbird destination for many!
