home Property Description

NEW METAL ROOF APRIL 2026 Spectacular canalfront living awaits in this fully furnished 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom pool home—ready to enjoy immediately or continue as a successful Airbnb/VRBO. Situated on the highly desirable Monroe Canal, one of Saint James City's widest and deepest waterways, this property is a true boater's paradise. Boating enthusiasts will enjoy the utmost in maritime convenience with unobstructed, deep-water access that accommodates sailboats and motorboats with no height or depth restrictions. From your dock, you have quick, direct access to San Carlos Bay, Pine Island Sound, the Gulf of Mexico, and world-class destinations like Sanibel, Captiva, Ft. Myers Beach, and Cayo Costa!

With no HOA and stunning views from every window, this home is bright, airy, and designed for comfort, convenience, and entertaining. The main living area features a spacious combined living and dining space, perfect for gatherings. The kitchen includes a gas stove top on the island with hood, all new appliances, and ample storage, including loft storage in the guest room and cedar-lined window seat storage.

The primary suite is a private retreat with balcony access, an ensuite bathroom with tub/shower combo, and access to an enormous attic with a finished floor, 10-foot ceilings, ventilation, and walk-around space. One guest bedroom has private access to the pool and deck, while the other shares the full guest bathroom, recently updated with a new vanity. The ground floor is fully enclosed and air-conditioned, renovated with waterproof PVC wall panels, and plumbing is already installed to add an additional bathroom if desired.

Outdoor living is exceptional, with a two-story deck, heated saltwater pool (renovated 2023 with new heater and saltwater system), fenced for safety, and privacy enhanced by mature landscaping. The waterside beckons you to unwind by the pool or head down to the dock, where playful dolphins are frequent visitors. Relax on your lanai, listen to the rolling tarpon, and enjoy bird watching right from your backyard. The 10,000-lb boat lift has a new motor, and the dock offers water, electric, and new decking. The outdoor AC unit is elevated to the first floor to remain unaffected by hurricanes. The septic tank was pumped in 2023.

Located just yards from the marina, the home offers easy pedestrian access to waterfront restaurants and the local fish market. The St. James community allows golf carts on the roads and hosts lively events such as boat parades, family weekends, and live music. Just minutes to open water and a ½-hour boat ride to Sanibel, this custom-built 1998 home with impact-resistant doors and windows perfectly blends indoor/outdoor living, waterfront amenities, and the Florida lifestyle—ideal as a full-time residence, vacation retreat, or income-producing Airbnb/VRBO.
