Units are two-bedroom, two-bathroom plans of about 1,320 to 1,405 square feet, and current listings range from roughly $600,000 to $1.2 million. That spread usually reflects condition and floor as much as view. At the lower end, owners are often buying a unit that still needs its kitchen and bathrooms redone. The sections below cover how those projects work inside Island Winds, from layout choices to association approval. ![Island Winds bathroom remodel after photo](https://remodelbycuttingedge.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Cutting-edge-Miromar-Lakes-Bathroom-3-After-c.webp)After · Cutting Edge bathroom remodel ## Island Winds Bathroom Remodel A 1974 building usually means bathrooms with tub-shower combinations, small vanities and older tile set in thick mortar beds. Owners commonly replace the guest tub with a walk-in shower and frameless glass, and turn the primary bathroom into a larger shower with a bench and a niche. Wider vanities with drawers, quartz tops, porcelain that resists salt-air staining, and quiet exhaust fans are typical. Removing old mortar beds can also reveal plumbing that needs updating, which is easier to handle while the room is open. A handheld shower and grab-bar blocking in the walls make the room easier to use as owners age in place. Island Winds owners need association approval before work begins, along with a town building permit for plumbing and electrical changes. Listings note that the building completed a new roof and structural work tied to Florida's milestone inspection program, so contractors should expect clear rules on hours, protection of common areas and use of the trash chute and elevators. Flood-zone units are reviewed against FEMA's substantial-improvement threshold. A free LiDAR scan maps your existing bathroom so changes to drains can be checked against shared stacks early. Bathroom remodels at Island Winds start from $18,500 per bath.

Owners usually want the kitchen opened toward the living area where possible, a peninsula or small island for seating, full-height cabinetry with pull-outs, and quartz countertops with a slab or tile backsplash. A counter-depth refrigerator and an induction range work well in a two-bedroom condo. Under-cabinet lights and a modern range hood finish the room. Owners who fish or boat from the dock often ask for a deeper sink and a pull-out trash and recycling center. Opening a kitchen wall in a 1970s concrete building is possible in some units and not in others, depending on structure and what runs inside the wall. We confirm that with the association, and an engineer when needed, before you commit to a plan. The LiDAR scan becomes a photo-real 3D render, so you can judge the new layout against the view you bought. Fabrication is templated to the scan, which keeps install days short and limits time in the elevator and common halls. Appliance choices are confirmed against the unit's electrical panel. Kitchen remodels at Island Winds start from $27,000. ![Island Winds kitchen remodel after photo](https://remodelbycuttingedge.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Cutting-Edge-Bonita-National-Kitchen-4-After-c.webp)After · Cutting Edge kitchen remodel Price Your Island Winds *Kitchen.* Open our kitchen builder to plan an Island Winds kitchen and get a starting price for your layout.
