519 Useppa Island $940,000

Welcome to Bikini Bottom, a charming waterfront coastal cottage in Useppa Village, the best-kept secret in Florida. The northwest-facing waterfront porch and wrap-around decks provide ample outdoor space to enjoy island living and stunning views. Where else could you find a three-bedroom, three-bath waterfront cottage with a cart garage, hot tub, lush foliage, on Paradise Coast, with dockage at your front door? The home is turnkey furnished down to the linens, kitchen/cooking utensils, flatware, etc., all awaiting your arrival. Just bring your favorite art and accessories to this move-in-ready residence. The home includes rights to dock a 24-foot boat at the Village docks, and all the island amenities—pool, spa, tennis, bocce, and fitness center—are a short walk away. Useppa is a private, bridgeless island, four miles west of Pine Island, three miles south of Boca Grande Pass, and 500 yards off the Intracoastal Waterway, situated in the best fishing waters in Southwest Florida. It is truly set in "another place and time," where little ones are told to be home by dark, and informal parties erupt at dusk. There are no cars, only golf carts, and no stop signs, only turtle crossings. Paradise!
