Kick off your flip-flops! This former Stock Custom Homes model sits on a water-direct canal with 95 feet of frontage, just down the road from Tigertail Beach, with no bridges between you and the Gulf. Spend mornings shelling and spotting birds on the white sand, then head home for a dip before the sunset cruise. Five bedrooms, five-and-a-half baths, and 3,629 square feet under air unfold through a great-room plan with soaring ceilings and oversized windows that pour in that bright island light. Tile and wood floors run throughout, and an open loft overlooks the foyer below. The kitchen has a breakfast bar for casual bites, there's a formal dining room for bigger gatherings, and the first-floor primary suite is a true retreat with a sitting area, double vanity, and separate tub and shower. Upstairs, private balconies catch the salty Gulf breeze. Out back, the tropical lanai is where island days happen: an outdoor kitchen for grilling the catch of the day, plus a heated pool with spa and sun shelf for lounging with a cold drink in hand. Boaters, bring the toys! The dock fits a 30 to 40 foot boat and has two lifts (20,000# and 7,000#), so you can be out on the open Gulf in minutes. Impact glass, a tile roof, and a two-car garage round out this 2018 coastal retreat. Morning walks on the beach, afternoons on the water, and evenings by the pool. This is the easy, sunny Marco Island lifestyle you've been dreaming about. Come see it before someone else grabs it!
