Two nearby fresh seafood markets make it easy to bring home the day's local catch. And if outdoor living is your thing, Enjoy mornings on your two screened porches — one overlooking the expansive backyard and waterfront, and another facing the large front yard. Morning coffee, afternoon cocktails, or a quiet evening outdoors — you've got the perfect spot for every mood. Inside, the cottage has been updated while keeping its unmistakable Old Florida beach-house character. The large butcher block kitchen island provides plenty of room for friends and family to gather for drinks, dinner, and fish stories, while the spacious living area keeps everything comfortable and inviting.

From your backyard, it's approximately a fifteen-minute canal ride through beautiful mangroves, with incredible fishing, bird watching, and Southwest Florida nature along the way. Continue into Pine Island Sound, and a whole new world opens up — Sanibel, Fort Myers Beach, gulf waters, waterfront restaurants, and countless places to explore by boat. Or don't go anywhere at all.
